JonBenét Ramsey Case: My Theory & Key Questions

[CloudedTruth]

Whoever it was had to know about the size 12 Bloomis, and where to locate them in the huge house. This is a most puzzling aspect of the staging. How could the intruder(s) know?

Exactly.

An overarching question to 'who' and 'when" is WHY. That answer would provide information to the other two inquiries.

The RN was a clumsy attempt to provide a context for the murder. IMO its author was not fully aware of all the WC staging.

I agree RN writer not aware of exact details of staging. Two different individuals. Having trouble with “WC”.

During the 911, Patsy did not give the operator the name of her 'kidnapped' daughter. She also omitted JonBenet's height, weight, eye color and what she was last seen wearing. However, as means of identification, she only offered up JB's age, and "She's blonde."

Why was JB's hair color uppermost in her mother's mind? Of course, JonBenet's hair was likely colored. PR's friends meant to speak with her about what they viewed as the excesses of the pageantry.

By altering JB's natural shade, the girl was messaged that she was not good enough as she was. "I don't feel pretty."

Why was the blonde image of such importance to Patsy? None of the major child stars had been blonde: Shirley Temple, Jane Withers, Elizabeth Taylor, Margaret O'Brien, Natalie Wood. (But there is Macauly Culkin. haha) From where did this penchant arise?

At the 1977 Miss America contest, in which Patsy competed, the winner was Dorothy Bentham, who was sandy blonde and later fully blonde. Did PR associate being brunette with losing?

Interesting.

I have often looked at the 911 call as PR's first performance of the saga, once the staging was completed. She neglected to convey key aspects as you have detailed, and then hung up on the dispatcher instead of staying on the line and answering any questions that may have been asked....such as what JB was wearing, etc....all which would've been important details for LE to have for a search for her.

I do think there is a stereotype that men prefer blondes, particularly in the Western culture. It is interesting that some of the most famous blonde actresses were not naturally blonde, they lightened their hair because it was thought it would make them more popular...."Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"? Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield..."blonde bombshells"......also of note, there are pictures of JB dressed up as Marilyn Monroe at a costume party (presumably Halloween?). When I first saw those pictures, my first thought was that it was odd to dress a 5-6 year old as a sex symbol from the 50's-60's. But PR didn't seem to have any qualms about having her daughter parade around in mature costumes in a sexualized way. And yet she also tried to deny that she was coloring JB's hair. On some level she was aware of the potential of negative perceptions of her managing of JB's appearance and the pageant stuff.

And then the RN.....full of movie quotes, epically long at almost 3 pages. There is so much particularly on that first day that felt very performative and theatrical. PR's influence is all over it.

But - Gentlemen Marry Brunettes! My list of child stars did not include the blonde and unforgettable Patty McCormack in "The Bad Seed". Though, I doubt that Patsy had this in mind.

And this is exactly what a movie of this case would show. But in real life, autistic children don’t randomly murder their siblings, mothers, regardless of how dramatic they are, don’t stage sexual abuse and write notes that sound like a 15 year old boy to cover up killing their child.

Yeah, they are confusing autism with psychopathy which is just wild to me.
