The thing that concerns me is this person has shown up, begun posting a myriad of opinions mixed in with what s/he says are facts, but has failed to back up claims - and this is where other people turn around and post the same stuff elsewhere and it becomes fact, when any basis in fact has yet to be proven.
I really am surprised by the people who are hanging on this person's every word about the McRs, and asking for more. I asked some questions myself, to try to better understand how this person arrived at their conclusion that Santa Bill and Mrs McR were the killers - such as what was going on with the RN and how did they get in, how does the pineapple fit in, etc.
Just picked NP to quote because close, and I've already objected many times, which never sinks in, to your seeming to be on automatic assuming that I'm an IDI , to attack, no matter how many times I remind you that I'm not, and no matter how many times I remind you that NOBODY says Santa Bill killed JonBenet, it just never sinks in, not even an inch.
People at other forums have done enthusiastic research and came up with even more than I did, incl Wikipedia, just leaving no stone unturned.
UKGuy, I forget what it was you accused me of coming up with, it's so far back, but not true.
Looking for other angles is just the "nice" thing to do. It's not nice to accuse the R's, any more than to accuse anyone else. It's all hearsay, becoming fact just by being rehashed constantly.
Hi, Seeker, or whoever said they knew about Santeria. Yes, I've heard of it too. Used to live in Fla when we were in college.
Thanks to whoever reminded us of Wicca, too. I must have left that out. Told you I sometimes goof, but at least have an interest in learning something new instead of jumping to conclusions based on nothing but a family being "in" a house. The basement window being opened from the inside was so obviously part of the "staging" I'm surprised Smit fell for it. Can we at least stop bringing that window up?
As for the pineapple, there was also something greenish in her stomach, that 10 yrs ago some people used to speculate MIGHT have been mistletoe, which figured in the celtic ritual last meals of a favorite thing plus I guess the mistletoe.
It would probably taste very bad and I doubt JonBenet would have eaten it, unless it was accompanied by one of those tales "like" the little tree in the forest somebody managed to dig up, and mind you, do NOT accuse me of saying she did. It'd be all in your own head. Your own imagination. Makes no difference for our purposes if the names of the 12-15 other children were carved on the harp before or after their deaths. Point is, you can't accuse the R's of killing those children, who were classified by McReynolds and maybe others as having SOMETHING in common.
That's what I'm trying to wake us up to try to find out. Someone found that at least one little boy was murdered, didn't find out how, or any of their names, or if they were all in this country.
If, if, if, as Camper says, there may have been some kind of ritual that night, I've already said, I have no problem with admitting the R's may have been involved. I don't think anyone did it acting alone, or that anyone entered through that basement window, and the spider web proves it.
We've been in such a "rut" about the one family, I've admitted could have been in some way involved, depending on what the real circumstances were. Yes, possibly some "fallen" Christian, perverting and mis-using scriptures. Such a person is predicted in the Christian Bible, making war on the believers and trying to project his guilts on them. Those who defeat him by citing the predictions and the Blood of the Lamb are risking their lives, Re 12. How cowardly to pick on a little girl, or, maybe even all the children on the harp. My statement says this is speculation "of the moment" so try not to jump to conclusions about me instead of trying to solve the case, okay?
Any other new theories, not attacks on any of us personally, I'd be polite enough to hear. Bring it on. Pick a theory, any theory. Anything for a breath of fresh air. Don't you see that your misquoting and misunderstanding me just tells me you're misunderstanding everything else too? I have a hunch, maybe wrong, that if you'd each think and study independently instead of just forming a clique everyone might be as brainy as the other researchers I probably should be right now encouraging. It's hard to think of exact search terms, and naturally any secrets will be hard if not impossible to uncover. Was there a Coverup about those other children or was it in some other country or what? The harp's existence was part of the case.
