New Book on JonBenet coming soon

[Brefie]

I agree that it doesn't instill a lot of confidence to see her name laid out incorrectly, however, I would still give his book a chance.
Jeez, I own the Ramsey's DOI, don't I?? LOL

Thanks for sharing with us that you personally know this author, a Dr. Phil (?) professionally. Your family dynamic was probably one of those classic text-book situations, and I'm very glad you were helped.


Me Too - He saw us on a substantially reduced fee which he was under no obligation to do. It was a gracious gesture and I have never forgotten it.
He isnt as "hollywood " glib or one way fits all as Dr Phil in my opinion.

My family relations were anything but textbook which is why I have such great respect for him. One of the ladies in my decorating group worked for him and also has a high opinion of him. He had a split practice - spent part of the month in Denver and part in SA. A highly competent doctor and a very interesting man .

Why does this Author not spell JonBenet's name correctly? If this actually is
a mystake on his part and his editors part then how can anyone read his book and believe anything he says has any merit?? I am openminded and don't shut the door on input from any source without much research. However, this spelling issue would be reason enough for me to not even open the door on his book. However of course my sleuthing curiostiy would override and of course I will read the book!!

Many brilliant people cant spell worth a hoot. Could be any number of reasons. You can believe he has merit because of his education, practice and knowledge of human behavior. This guy actually read the books, wrote the papers and helped the patients. While you may not agree with his anaylsis it will be worth considering.

Oh I will probably read the book cause of own curiosity. I am an atrocious speller. spelling has nothing to do with intelligence. However, if your going to publish a book abuot a person you should get the persons name spelled correctly. I am an advocate for spelling lienency in the vernacular setting; however, its a whole different ball game when you publish.

Sharpar,

Are you Dr. Smith incognito??? ...LOL (just kidding!)

Nope - just a former client. I did inquire about the purchase of his book yesterday. I got a nice note back saying that there is conflict with publisher and may not be out by Christmas. I was put on mailing list for a newsletter that will tell of publication date and ordering information.

 

[Jayelles]

As an educator, I can vouch for the fact that bad spelling is not an indication of low intelligence. In Scotland we mark for content and have a policy of NOT marking students down for bad spelling. Our own native language has many variations of spelling and they are all acceptable. I mark National Examinations and University entrance exams and many of the best papers have poor spelling.

 

[JBR_Justice]

I got an email from the author saying that the book would be published sometime in June or July of 2006. The author's website will be updated this year according to the email. The November 1, 2005 date was intended only for Agents and Publishers.

 

[Melanie Barnhart]

Sounds like another RDI/PDI book. Plus I'm always suspicious of those who have never had children saying what parents are likely to do.

You DON'T HAVE TO HAVE BRAIN CANCER IF YOU ARE A NEUROSURGON

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU IT IS NOT AN RDI BOOK. I HAVE SEEN THE GALLEY FOR THIS BOOK AND IT IS A BRILLIANT EXPOSE THAT IS STRICKLY NO HOLDS
BARRED. THIS BOOK WILL PUT LARRY SCHILLERS BOOK LOOK LIKE PURE
PULP FICTION.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING HIS WEBMASTER PROABABLY
DIDN'T KNOW THAT HER NAME WAS NOT TO BE SEPARATED

 

[Melanie Barnhart]

And that is why this case is so puzzling. There are so many coincidences it's not funny.
I mean what about the Mc Christmas's? There's two right there with one lot of suspects. Janet Mc Christmas writes a play based on a novel about a little girl getting tortured and murdered in a basement....that's a pretty big coincidence.
The Mc Christmas's own daughter was kidnapped on the same day that JonBenet died, although quite some years earlier....that's another huge coincidence too.
You have to wonder about coincidences.....
I know Santa Bill and his wife didn't do it.....but only because I can't figure out why the Ramsey's would cover for them. The Ramsey's are covering for SOMEONE and I cant think of a good enough reason for the Ramsey's to have covered for the Mc Christmas's.

THATS BECAUSE THE RAMSEYS ARE COVERING FOR EACH OTHER OR THAT
DUFUS JOHN STARTED TOCOVER FOR PATSY AS SOON AS HE RECOGNIZED
HER VERBIAGE IN THE RANSOM LETTER.

THIS GUY IS A 27 YEAR MEMBER OF MENSA-YOU CAN BE SURE HE DIDN''T
SPEND 6 YEARS PUTTING THIS BOOK TOGETHER WITHOUT KNOWING ALL
THE ANSWERS. THIS BOOK IS NOT AN ANALYSIS, IT IS AN EXPOSE . HIS
WEBSITE DOESN'T SPELLIT OUT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANTTO GIVE EVERYTHING
AWAY TO THE PUBLISHERS. YOU MR. SHARPAR MAY BE THE MOST ASTUTE
PERSON IN THE DISCUSSION GROUP.

 

[Camper]

There is a new book on the Ramsey case coming out Nov. 1st.
It is called, "The Last Christmas of JonBenet Ramsey" and is written by a psychologist named Laurence Smith.

Here is the link: www.laurencelsmith.com/index.html

It sounds interesting.

~Angel~

K777angel, I seem to recall this posed picture of the author floating around on the net a very very very looooong time ago. My memory is not flawless, but it seems like it was about five years ago????

Melanie, are you aware that using capital letters throughout in one's posts actually means 'yelling' in internet lingo? Just curious.

 

[Camper]

--------->>>I AGREE.

Just might have to have his book whenever it shows up. I am doubting that it will have much more than common sense to share with those of us here. Common sense has been used in most WS'ers evaluations and my own observations of the Ramseys behaviors from 1996 on.

[Eagle1]

Yeah, any book will be better than none.

Too bad we can only observe the behavior of the victims and not ALL the people that COULD have done it.

Disclaimer: I'm not claiming to be able to know the victims didn't do it, just remembering that there's a lot of clues to possible others, some hate propaganda going on at least 6 months before the death happened, the alleged boating accident plot in Waterford, Mi., a walker who must have turned off the outside lights that night, who resembled JAR as did the one in Waterford, and enough other to fill a book if anyone can remember them all. I could turn out to be wrong but just want us to remember all that, as best we can. It's been a long time.

Disclaimer: I'm not claiming to be able to know the victims didn't do it, just remembering that there's a lot of clues to possible others, some hate propaganda going on at least 6 months before the death happened, the alleged boating accident plot in Waterford, Mi., a walker who must have turned off the outside lights that night, who resembled JAR as did the one in Waterford, and enough other to fill a book if anyone can remember them all. I could turn out to be wrong but just want us to remember all that, as best we can. It's been a long time.

=============>>>Indeed, I played my harp for years on BOATMAN. As far as WE=WS'ers know, one phone call was made to the Waterford MI PD, by BPD investigator Jane Harmer, checking on the veracity of BOATMAN/do an accident with JBR for $10,000.00 dollars.

This BOATMAN came forward in February of 1997, with the hottest CLUE in the entire history of this case, imop.

BOATMAN, had NOTHING to gain in coming forward, except to help zero in on the 'IMPOSTER ? that BOATMAN described as identifying himself as JAR, the 20 something yr old son of JR.


:banghead: Wonder if our esteemed author covered that incident in his UPcoming book?

.

 

[Eagle1]

Yup, I hope he touches on it. I've saved your brief synopsis because, who knows, if there's a lookalike impersonating JAR, he could be the accidental-or-on-purpose killer, the walker that Barnhill saw that evening before dark. I would say possibly influenced by the art which a university student was made to take down after JonBenet's death, except that this Waterford thing was at least 6 mo. prior to this fateful night.

 

[Camper]

Camper, I keep forgetting to ask anyone, but sometimes mention the Boatman thing to others, who always want the original source of this story. Do you happen to remember?

BlueCrab, I don't know much about Nathan. I would tend to think the molester who killed the child accidentally or on purpose was at the party on the 23rd, and that the WALKER also played a part, who certainly resembled JAR. Just my impressions.

-->>>As I recall the 'incident' was published in the Globe. The Boatman came forward in February of 1997, just one month after the murder. Boatman said the approach by someone who identified themselves as the 20 something older son of John Ramsey, happened the SUMMER of 1996, a few short months prior to her murder.

The denial came from Ramsey attorneys. The denial in the media claimed the attorney checked and the son was NOT in Michigan when boatman said the OFFER to harm JonBenet was made. WElllll, Hmmm.

Globe and Enquirer are published by the same company I think.

Boatman had NOTHING to gain from approaching, his name was never published as I recall.
Boatman was an undercover narc for the POLICE.
Boatman in his undercover work, surely met a lot of druggies on a daily basis.
PD would not want to blow Boatmans identity, I guess.
Boatman did not pursue his story, wonder why.
I don't know IF he was ever shown a picture of the 'older' son of the R's. Why would he, it would never happen because of the armed forces of the R's.

Woulda been good though for him to have seen a picture of 'the' older son. Imop, why not. Probably would be considered 'violating his rights'. Heck he was NOT even in Boulder the night of the crime, you know cuz he had alibi's and his own attorneys.

Couldn't PD dig up a picture of the older son, wellllllll, the older son did not become a major photographed person in the case. Family photos etc. WE/WS'ers have been hard put to find or see a picture of the older son, huh????

A bit like a 'Where's Waldo' in a murder theme. Remember that end of the family tree in GA had their own team of attorneys, protecting them. Heck with the Waldo deal, this has become a Lizzie Borden type of crime, cept there was no axe.

DEAD little girl, not big news. The world will get over it, wrong/NOT.

An eye for an eye, has been replaced by a group of attorneys, MOO.

MOO=My Own Opinion
