I think Patsy was pressured into covering up by the pedophiles themselves. She was closely connected to some of them and I imagine they had a powerful hold on her. I do not think that this makes Patsy a monster. I do not think Patsy is a monster, they are your words. I think Patsy was a victim of sexual abuse herself. She had been mentally affected by the abuse in her own childhood was incapable of stopping her daughter's abuse. IMO Patsy is to be pitied, not condemned. As far as I am concerned pageants have got nothing to do with this case.
I have no opinion re whether Patsy was herself abused in childhood, but I do think it's very obvious the evidence was all "planted", "staged", and that no guilty people would stage evidence incriminating themselves!
It's all as simple as that, imo. The staged evidence pointing to them actually proves there was someone else. Maybe a lot more than one someone elses. Guests at the party on the 23rd are noticeably absent and lying low. There had to be something strange about that party.
Marilyn Van De Bur (sp?) has children now? Anyone know? She's the one I believe reported that she'd been sexually abused in childhood. Yet she's not a monster. Not that any statistics would prove anything about any certian case. PR's certainly not a monster either, but as a lot of us have said previously, it seems someone had a very powerful hold on her and on all the "friends". If she's covering up, so are they all, about what was happening at the party on the 23rd.
My hunch is that JonBenet was spunky enough to try to call 911 and that the phone was snatched away from her, or the hangup button hit, and a cover story for that was invented. Who ever heard of turning away police at your door, or rather at someone else's door? What the heck was going on there? And someone who wasn't pictured may have been there. May even have suggested group pictures thinking that would prove he wasn't there, judging by someone's thinking planted evidence would convict the victims. (I agree with several of us that PR must have been awfully gullible, and trusted someone too much, but so did the whole gang. The parents weren't the only ones.)
"If, if, if" the mastermind, possibly using someone else he could completely control, to do the deed was motivated by an obsession about beauty queens, remember that someone waited until Vanessa Williams was a winner to reveal a youthful mistake of hers so that she'd have to step down. Why isn't he still doing this to all of them? Probably because he'd get caught and blow his cover by doing it too many times. Just another outside-the-box thought for consideration. Whoever brought that up about Vanessa, and I can't remember what it was, surely had to have known it before she became a winner but waited, maybe even exerted some subtle influence to make her the winner. That was so sadistic. She's a sweet girl and has won some success in spite of that. It probably would have ruined some peoples' lives, health, etc., forever. There may be worse truths about all the other contestants. Maybe the malicious accuser thought that doing that to one would also cast suspicion on all the others. Maybe Vanessa even knew who was behind it, but, like Patsy and all the friends, she's also not telling. Carl Rove (?) is in trouble for supposedly "outing" someone, though it really doesn't sound like he even knew what she was.
