I was PDI for a long time (you can find my old "theory" under members' theories).
Now having studied docg's theory, it is abundantly clear to me that JDI, and in the way he describes.
So overwhelming is his argument that I now believe ALL OTHER THEORIES should be put on hold, since they are almost literally impossible, and we should ALL devote our time to going over the available evidence IN LIGHT OF docg's theory to either improve it or find contradictions that delegitimize it.
I have to say, it saddens me deeply that Kolar's book has given support to BDI, which is not what happened on that horrible night. This is a massive waste of time and energy, the least likely of any of the Ramsey-did-it scenarios.
I urge everyone to immerse themselves in docg's theory. I believe that if you do it with an open heart, you'll see he's right.
I was passionately PDI for a long time and I know it's hard to disinvest a theory you've worked on for years. But it's time we band together and really investigate and examine docg's extraordinary work.
I've been back and forth so much, I can't rule anybody out. I need something definitive. Actually, PR, seems like the least likely. For her to be guilty, she would have had to possess a horrible temper, a deep seeded rage, and been abusing JBR, in a systematic, and in the weirdest way immaginable. Yes, it's possible, and I can see how that all would lead to murder, (could there be any other conclusion?), but it is a hard scenario to wrap my brain around. But, she sure acted guilty at times, and accepted that she would probably be arrested, and then there's the ransom note, which by all accounts, looks and sounds like her writing. BR, IMO, also acted abnormally, after JBR's death, and his psychological interview, was disturbing, to say the least. But, was this because he was guilty of something, or because he witnessed or knew something, or because he was reacting to being abused too? ...all reasons, that would cause abnormal behavior. But, kids do abuse and kill their younger siblings. I personally know a woman who got married at 15, to get away from her brother, who was consistently raping her. Her parents refused to do a thing about it. My oldest daughter, used to spend a lot of time at her best friend's house. One day, the friend texted and said the police were looking for her sister in law's 16 year old brother, (who spent a lot of time around my daughter and friend). He had raped and then cut his 9 year old, sister's throat, and then ran away. His sister survived, and told the cops. I have no doubt that he had been abusing her, but had reached the point where he needed 'more'...so, he cut her throat. He was sent to juvie, probably because their 'loving'[ parents, refused to cooperate , and begged for mercy. There was no sense in him not being locked up forever. So, it's just plain dumb, to think siblings love each other, and are incapable of murder. But, when I really consider BR a suspect, too many questions are left unanswered. Awhile back, after PR died, I really started thinking about what was logical and most likely, and actually, the most obvious conclusion, doesn't require a lot of 'out there' speculation. I went and read docg's blog, and his theory Does make the most sense. My only problem, is the ransom note. Like I said, I need something definitive. I'd like to see documentation of who all ruled JR out, as the writer.
