Perp on the forums

These things happen. I have video-taped every single school show that I have helped produce over the past 10 years yet on the last two Christmases I forgot to charge the video camera up and had to record with the camera plugged into mains electricity. I think I've just got so much else to think about at Christmas that thoughts of charging the video camera just don't cross my mind.

There's also the reason for recording. Pageants/school shows are more formal, more dressed up affairs. They run from start to finish and then they are gone forever. Christmas morning is more relaxed. You could almost go fetch the camera part-way through the present opening and still capture enough memories to watch later on. Also, the Ramseys were having Christmas all over again the next day at Charlevoix with other family members , so maybe they felt that would be the bit they'd want to record for that year?

Just musing.

I suppose anything is possible, but I just feel that there was a tape that morning. Do you recall what the deal was with the bicycle? I know something went on, but I can't remember what.

I'm one of those people who have tapes of everything...school stuff, church stuff, activities, and holidays.

OK, now I'm waiting for Pam to die.

LOL Still the wrong continent. You could maybe get me for being John Ramsey's cousin though ;-)

JBR got a new bike and it was stored at the barnhill's prior to Christmas.

Where it gets muddy is whether she actually rode it on Christmas Day. On PMPT, it shows you her riding her new bike, but I'm sure John Ramsey was beating himself up because she'd asked him to go out with her to try the new bike and he hadn't done that.

It's not something I ever thought was relevant so I didn't pay much attention.

JR spent some time at the plane on Christmas Day which may or may not have been seen as suspicious. A friend of a friend of ours bought a horse and was spending way too much time with the "horse". When he announced that he was going to spend time with the horse on Chrismas Day, his wife'd worst fears were confirmed because she suspected he was using the horse as a cover for an affair. So on Christmas Day she had him followed and guess what? He was with his horse! LOL

of all people in the case, i would have thought Burke is the most likely to be currently posting.

Perhaps...

"Although looking backwards, I do think they stood a good shot at a conviction."

Yeah, before they got their hooks into the prosecutors!

But, to be perfectly honest, I'm kind of on the fence about a conviction. Some days I think there would have been one, other days I think the jury would have been too uncomfortable with the idea.

But we won't know now. More honestly, I think the OJ case scared the you-know-what out of the DA.

Maybe, but I don't think so.
I'd say he has better stuff to do than sit around the forums where people bag his Mum and Dad.
I'd say he could still be in therapy and I doubt his therapist would encourage him to hang out on the forums.

I'm convinced that if the Ramseys' feet had been held to the fire right from the start, we would have gotten a confession from Patsy.
Both Ramseys should have been questioned separately as soon as possible after JB's body was found. But the Ramseys simply vanished from the crime scene and the investigators let them leave.
Like Steve Thomas said, there is often that 'magic moment' in cases like that, where during an interrogation, the investigator puts his hand on the suspect's arm and softly says "It was an accident, wasn't it?", and the person then breaks down and confesses.
But every time such a moment was reached in police interviews, one of the Ramsey lawyers (probably knewing what was to come) would step in and say it was "time to take a break" ...

I'm not sure if the bike thing was relevant either, but I do remember there being a lot of discussion about it. Yes, I would imagine John now wishes he'd done that.

There's a park by our house, and my kids wanted to stop there every single time we drove by it...sometimes we stopped, sometimes we didn't. Now that they are grown, I can't drive by that park without wishing I'd stopped every single time they wanted to play.

The horse story is funny...She was lucky. I have a friend who discovered that the old boy wasn't with his pony, or in his case, in the office.

I's say that was likely.

I personally believe the killer is someone who likes to play games and I think this person would post both as BORG and as RST on the forums.
Like many others, I believe the killer was someone close to Jonbenet - or at least someone she knew. I think that person may well have adopted a public RST position and then played BORG games as well.

I agree. I think the perp could have posted under more than one hat--one BORG and one RST, maybe even during the same time frame.

Surely you aren't talking about the old trickster, are you? :0

I think I'll refrain from this one, citing the time someone named ME as the perp!
