Glad to be wrong

[joeskidbeck]

I would like to be wrong in my firm belief that Burke murdered his little sister, whether by accident or on purpose and that the parents implicated themselves by staging the body, lying in statements, hindering the investigation and having the financial means and ability to help solve the murder and yet did nothing to accomplish that.

BRAVO!!!!! And may I add: very well stated.

I too would love to be wrong, but as the old saying goes...If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, its not a confused chicken or if it walks like an R and it talks like an R, its not a confused intruder.

I like that, Agatha. Here's another good one. If you hear hoof beats, don't go looking for zebras!

Perhaps equally sick, eileenhawkeye. But this is how I look at it: the intruder story allows people to feel good about themselves. It's a straight-up, simple good and evil story. But that's not true with RDI. The idea that a mother as beautiful and successful and loving as Patsy can have a moment of unthinking rage and deal a fatal blow to her little one in the blink of an eye shakes people up, because if it can happen to her, it can happen to any of us.

But if an intruder can sneak into a million dollar house on Christmas and murder a 6-year-old while her family sleeps, then are any of our children safe? If a family member killed JonBenet, then it's an isolated incident; as most people don't live in fear that they'll murder their kid(s) one day. I suppose it's just the comparing of tragedies that bothers me.

Very sweet of you. That is what lead me to believe a RDI Beck! Some things are just too obvious in their deception! Or maybe despite their deception. ;-)

I hope I am wrong re believing that some people know the truth but are keeping their mouths shut for different selfish stupid reasons.
