The advantage of having been 6 years old myself, 10 yrs old, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 years old, that gives me a priority over most of the posters who appear here IN THAT, I have seen more of life's shenanigans that many posting.
I donut think BlueCrab ever ascribed to believing that Patsy was the perp, nor have I ever ended up with that belief.
In the beginning of this puzzle, PR crossed my thought path, everyone did!
I do however believe strongly that the Ramsey family collectively or singly orchestrated an elaborate cover up that seems to be holding steadily lo these many years later.
IF WE ? are to be made to believe that some soul short of money, and not knowing HOW to make any, even with the criptic ransom note caper, came through a closed and locked door to do his/her deed, you/we or whomever probably look for money under your/our pillows from the Tooth Fairy.
IF IF this perp could in fact enter the home of the Ramseys, through locked doors, he/she would have been better off on Christmas night going to the 1st Bank vault, he/she would have had MORE MONEY, actually he/she would have had some money, not - not any money.
The very fact that the much sought after 'Burglar Alarm' was not set for Christmas night. Recall also when Ramseys 'fled' to Georgia, the house HAD to have a burglar system installed, and they only wanted ONE door access to the Georgia home, which was against building code as I recall.
Christmas night I would a$$ume would be high on the list of burglars for making a nice Christmas gift haul. This FACT left me wondering why it was not set, and who was coming after family had retired that the door had been left unarmed for?
OHHHHHH and the plane that was to be ready to fly the morning of the 26th was not ready that morning, and the pilot was not available, got a call back from pilot, (about 10 am - am I right?) another hmmm, in my book of wonderment.
