If John Ramsey's reaction to John Mark Karr was a PR strategy he was mistaken. It is just one more example in the Ramsey's wide ranging collection of Things People Whose Children Were Really Murdered Never Say.
Really funny, Fides. :hilarious:
I haven't read their book but how can he say what happened to JB? Does he say he is speculating?
One could call it speculative, but thats not exactly the right word.
Amazon.com lists a publish date for the hardbound copy of DOI of March 2000, so most likely they were writing it before the end of the GJ. JR claims it was too painful to look at the details a year ago. So just as a guesstimate, it was too difficult to look at how she died in 1998, but by 1999 he believed it would be helpful to profile the killer and also describe what was done to JonBenét.
In brief, what JR writes might best be described as emotive, painting a picture of someone so perverted and evil that no one could possibly consider anyone in the R family as matching this portrayal. JR essentially takes Smits description verbatim that she was stun gunned, that the knots used on her were complex and sophisticated, an indication that the killer had done this before, that she was asphyxiated first (with a garrote) and then struck thereafter. He also elaborates with emotive labels such as bondage, s**** sex, masochistic-sadists, in general a psychopath.
(Now I'm wondering if BR were allowed to read DOI and what he thought.)
Then to profile the killer he describes someone who wore gloves, who only brought a couple things with him, and who may be part of a gang from a foreign country because he knew about garrotes. Finally, the perp hated JR for some reason.
Also, he wants people to be on the lookout for someone agitated after the homicide and someone who may have turned to religion or sought spiritual counsel.
