I always found it to be very telling that within minutes of "finding" his daughters body, JR hired THREE attorneys. One each for himself and Patsy, and one for his ex-wife. Now what incriminating information could his ex-wife have known about JR that in his mind required a separate attorney for a women that was no longer in his life?
He also was on the phone and trying to book a flight out of Boulder within an hour of her body being discovered. Who does that?
The War and Peace of ransom notes was written to scare PR into not phoning police right away, imo. JR needed time and an excuse to leave the house and remove JB's body. There was a suitcase under the basement window, ready to go. I think he was planning on telling PR that he was leaving with the suitcase to pay the ransom money, all the while placing JB's body in the suitcase to carry her out of the house unseen.
But PR did call the police right away. Why would she do that if she was involved in her daughters death or cover up of the crime?
Why didn't she do as her husband told her to?
I think she may have been frightened of JR at that moment. She may have felt something wasn't right with him. Jmo.
It sickens me to my soul that he has never been held accountable for JB.
He hides behind religion after throwing his wife, son, and every friend he ever had under the bus.
A vile, diabolical hypocrite.
All of the above are my opinions only after studying this case for years.
I find your theory very interesting! So much of it fits. The only issue I have with it is that to me it looks like PR wrote the ransom note. However, I still think that much of it fits anyway, although PR would have to have been in on it. The suitcase, then, if meant as a ruse wouldn't have been for PR, but for someone else. Maybe a way to get evidence out of the house in front of people, such as those friends he asked over, the police, etc., while claiming it was cash.
Not sure how that all holds together, but I did find your post helpful. I do think there was likely abuse before JB, and there was abuse of her as well, at the hands of her family. I'm not sure, though, that the abuse was limited to JR.
