I'm still praying for justice for JBR.

JonBenet's killer did just pass.

You will see people speaking out now that you haven't heard from for a while.

Turned on the tv as I was waking up. Dr. Spitz did sound awfully bitter about his experiences, especially about not being allowed to examine the crime scene. Talked about overkill.

 

[jillybean]

Before she died, Patsy Ramsey asked those close to her to continue the search for her daughter's killer. She also believed she would see her daughter again in heaven. :doh: :doh:

Just saw this on tv myself. Seems really weird she's gone. I thought, even though she'd been suffering from this again, she had found some way to beat it.

That's the main reason I never bought into the Ramsey's doing this crime.

I've known people battling cancer and it puts life into proper perspective VERY quickly. Nobody who had stage 4 cancer is going to kill their daughter over wetting the bed, IMO

 

[RiverRat]

Continue?!

Did I miss something?

 

[RiverRat]

Coming up on FOX News..........The DA's response.

I think that it would be more appropriate if everyone would wait for FOUR months before discussing Patsy's death. Make a CNN appearance if ya gotta, but by all means.......what's four little months in the Big Picture?

[narlacat]

OMG
I never thought it would happen
It's the middle of the night here in Oz, just got a call from a friend in the states...I'm awake now and I say:

Come on Patsy, fess up mate.
God I hope she did.

 

[Camper]

A shock this morning most certainly. A living horror for all concerned.

Sorry for Burke and John, and the remaining relatives.

From Jillybeans link for Paula Woodward - http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?...47-c589c01ca7bf

Paula in part wrote:

"A page and a half printed ransom note was left in the home saying the child had been kidnapped and asking for a ransom. That ransom note was also released to the public and became
fodder for several different theories of the murder."

It was in reality a 2 and a half page ransom note.

Schiller interviewed this morning on TV and wishes more investigative techniques be used on the blood found in Jon Benets 'pants', he did not say panties or panty.

God bring peace and resolution to the remaining family. I hope Jon Benet will be 'glad' to see her mom.

FOX said that every week the DA runs the DNA found in JB's underwear through the DNA database of criminals (2 million) and so far no matches. The Ramsey's DNA also did not match. The hope is one day the killer will be incarcerated on another crime and they will get a match in CODIS.

 

[lighthouselover]

And Schiller also said that he had spoken with "a few" of the grand jury members (weren't they forbidden to talk about the case?) and the ones he talked to said they couldn't indict either of the parents because - and I can't quote him verbatim, but I am not making this up - JonBenet's death was so horrendous that there is no way a parent could have been responsible.

I guess they never hear of any of the horrible, horrible acts of abuse (and murder) inflicted upon children by their own parents. I guess if it doesn't happen in Boulder, it just doesn't happen.

 

[HeartofTexas]

Doing my level best to honor the dead, I would just like to say she lived a whopping 43 years longer than her daughter did.

 

[UKGuy]

Nearly a decade after her 6-year-old daughter's unsolved slaying, Patsy Ramsey will be buried next to her daughter JonBenet in a suburban Atlanta cemetery, a funeral official said ...


Services will be held Thursday in The Church of The Apostles in Atlanta and Ramsey will be buried in St. James Cemetery in Marietta, Ga., where JonBenet is buried, said Terry Pendley, owner of Mayes Ward-Dobbins Funeral Home in Marietta, Ga.

RIP

 

[luckyevan93]

Heart of Texas - what a great point, she lived 43 years longer than Jon Benet.

I can't help but wonder if JBR would roll over in her grave if her accused killler is buried next to her. jmho.

Patsy herself pointed this out, but I think those without experience in the cancer arena let it slip past their radar when they hung their hats on the bedwetting theory.

All those years I spent on various JBR forums long ago, sitting on the fence and being called all sorts of names for it . . . I never really could come to enough evidence in my mind to believe the Ramseys, especially Patsy, were involved.

I feel very sad for Patsy today. If you think in very human terms of her losing her beloved daughter while she was already battling cancer, then spending the rest of her short years battling the cancer, the press, the loss of that child . . . it's heartbreaking unless you're totally convinced there's enough evidence to convict her, and that's something the state of Colorado never had.

Please don't let what you THINK a parent is not capable of cloud the facts.

The ransom note. Why aren't we hearing about the real piece of evidence in this case?

Because Lin Wood doesn't want to talk about it. Plain and simple. It points to someone in the house.

There is no question whatsoever that there was no intruder.

I encourage everyone to read, again please, at www.supportramseytruth.com

This page, thanks to the great ACandyRose, really spells it all out.

 

[Tricia]

and just in case anyone is getting misty eyed at the love Lin Wood is showing today let me remind you of Mr. Wood's own words during a deposition with attorney Darnay Hoffman concerning the Ramsey case. Bold is mine.

0200
1 "MR. WOOD: Hey, I made more money
2 handling the Ramsey case than you've made in
3 your whole damn career practicing law, Darnay.
4 MR. HOFFMAN: -- instead of settling
5 for chump change, which you've done in all these
6 other cases, you're actually getting paid a
7 decent --
8 MR. WOOD: I've made more money in
9 the Ramsey case than you've made in your entire
10 career as a lawyer, you want to bet on that?"

How proud Lin is.

 

[sharkeyes]

I am sorry Burke has lost his mom, may she rest in peace.....

JR can finally exhale.....

 

[itsreenw]

It's been a while since I've been here but I first came to WS because of the JB forum. I ventured to other cold cases threads and after reading a few posts here, I remember why. Why is speaking negatively of PR considered "bashing"?? It is simply the opinion of some that she killed her daughter. The fact that she is now dead doesn't change that.

I know the difference between "bashing" and speaking negatively.That's my job. People have a right to their opinions. I'll know when the bashing starts.

BeeBee

 

[Toltec]

My heart dropped to my stomach when I read about Patsy's death. She did live a very long time for a person diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. And she did live 43 years longer than JonBenet.

She missed her big 50th birthday....

I feel for Burke and Burke only. And it's a shame that Patsy didn't make some sort of death bed confession so that JonBenet would be able to rest in peace.

Hi Louisa

Throughout the lengthy and sometimes hostile police interrogations, both in 1998 and 2000, the Ramseys maintained their innocence. Now, eight years later, 48 Hours reports that investigators are no longer focusing on the Ramsey family.

Detectives working for the Boulder district attorney now believe that one, possibly two, intruders entered the Ramsey home and killed JonBenet and they are finally concentrating their efforts on the underside of Boulder that was largely ignored during the initial investigation.
Autopsy results showed evidence that JonBenet may have been subdued with a stun gun, and then eventually killed with an intricately tied device known as a garrot.

The current investigation also focuses on the possibility of two intruders, because of two very clear, and different, boot prints in the room where JonBenet was found. And, there's another clue investigators are interested in: a rope found in the bedroom next to JonBenet's
The crime lab has two spots of JonBenet's blood found on the underwear she was wearing the night of the murder. Mixed in with that blood is the DNA of an unknown person. It has taken years to isolate, but forensic scientists in Colorado now have a complete DNA profile of the killer. They know the killer is a male. What they don't know is his name.
