Exhume Jonbenet's Body; Why Not?

[Becky319]

It seems that it is John Ramsey that is putting a stop to JBR being exhumed. I believe he said that it's disrespectful? That sounds like an excuse to me. I really hope JBR is exhumed one day and the mortician took that possibility into account.

snipped for space
What is disrespectful is not knowing who killed your daughter after 14 years. Oh wait sorry, he probably does know.

If they do ever exhume her body I hope it is done in private and no one knows except the investigators, coroners and family, I would not want a media circus out of it, that would be disrespectful.

I agree. The media shouldn't find out about it until JonBenet is back in her casket underground. However, all it takes is for one person to tell one media outlet about it and they'll all be on the next flight to Marietta, Georgia. However, if they plan accordingly and have it involve as little amount of people as possible and have consequences for anyone who leaks it to the media (for example: you get fired), then I'm sure they could keep it a secret until they are ready to announce any new findings.

The Boulder PD gave Burke a business card on his college campus. He graduated from Purdue in May. The media did not find out about this until September/October so it was at least four months before it was leaked to the press. If they want to keep something a secret, they can.

What do they need for such a warrant?I mean,what does the affidavit have to say.Don't they usually get exhumation warrants when there's new evidence that might be corroborated with what they would find if exhuming the body?

Hey Maddy! You would think that all these so called "experts" running around saying the marks were stun gun marks would be enough to get a warrant.
Here in Georgia, there was a woman who killed her husband with antifreeze and then several years later killed her boyfriend the same way. There was a thread about it here at WS, I believe she died in prison a couple of months back. Anyway, my point is that after it was proven that the boyfriend died this way, they got the warrant to exhume the husband because his cause of death had always been something like the flu and so it was suspicious enough to warrant the exhumation.
What I consider strange or curious is that JR always seemed to agree with the stun gun theory but refused to let them exhume her in order to prove it. I think he knew the truth and was afraid that it would not set him free!

Interesting, as corroborating a stun gun use would favor IDI a bit more. The fact that JR refuses to allow exhumation is particularly suspicious. They DID find a stun gun video in the home (though no stun gun).

Well, the intruder probably brought it to the Ramsey home to watch it before using it, as his own VCR was on the fritz:innocent:
