Solace, how in the world can we be so sure only the Ramseys were in the house? We can't possibly know that. Just because they said so or didn't say others were there?
I'd like to post here the same thing I answered in another thread, to the question why would the killer take the trouble to learn Patsy's writing style and then only ask for such a small amount. For fun! Sadistic fun, power over them, and not needing their money but just wanting to show off that he knew their bonus amount, had been "monitoring" them.
From the other thread, "Maybe I Can Answer That
Mindset of the "Intruder" friend or whatever, showing off his POWER to (1) "monitor" them, (2) impersonate them almost perfectly, (3) kill their child with impunity, (4) ) have them hounded about it the rest of their lives.never being able to do anything about it even if they know or suspect who did it or caused it to be done,(5) Amount was also sarcasm, and to show that he knew how much the bonus was, didn't really need money, etc. Whole thing a showing-off, that he had immunity and power over these people. He was also showing off that he did not need ransom money. Cruel as the devil himself. He'd probably flattered the R's in some way to get close to them. Awfully prideful himself, he probably figured the R's were prideful and needed his "humbling", which would stay with them the rest of their lives.
" If" Patsy wrote the note, so what, she had no choice but to try to cover up what may have really been going on with "the friends". "If" she wrote the note it still doesn't prove she killed JonBenet, and the thrush (mouth?) infection may indicate oral sex by a male was being forced on the probably-sedated child. Nobody's proved that anybody did it, so far. Appearances can be deceiving. So deceiving.
Remember the Valerie Plame or Plume thing, which just may have all been staged to remind Americans that we can't expose a secret agent?
I'm thinking it's "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" who caused all this, maybe didn't personally kill her, meant to google that title and see what it's about, just borrowing it anyway.
According to some crime shows on MSNBC Sunday night, serial killers get high on killing just like on heroin, are motivated by POWER, and have to soon have another. An addiction. Maybe there's no other family just like the Ramseys showing off their child in the same way, beauty queens and wealth, or we'd hear of another humbling murder.
We haven't heard of this exact m.o. in any other case unless Danielle Van Dam, if that guy who's in prison for it was just a fall guy. I forget his name. Westerfield?
MSNBC was/ were showing profiles, that Rampage killers are motivated differently from serial ones, typically have moved far from home for a job, leaving their support system behind, and it all falls through, so they may decide to kill a thousand people, usually are stopped before 25, kill themselves. There should maybe be a profile for this type of killer, like Adam Walsh's killer, but not enough is known about them yet, must be few and far between. They met him in Houston? Just a tentative theory that would explain some things, correctly or not. "
