But these things all happen later.

I'm not saying John didn't know what was going on at some point and it was probably early. It may well have been before the 911 call. But there is a big difference between knowing and being involved.

The evidence suggests Patsy was the active one before people arrive and after everybody arrives at the house, John becomes active and Patsy retreats into the shadows. Why would this be? Could it be John steps forward only when it is safe to do so. What happened that night should have landed someone in prison. Why would John insert himself into the crime if he didn't have to? I think people are much too flippant about this.

I think John was very rational. He was taking care of John. He couldn't do anything to bring JonBenet back to life. Burke wasn't in danger. So his first priority was to protect himself and once he thought he was safe, he started to help Patsy. John couldn't be safe until all the people arrived and were witnesses for him. That is when he steps forward.

A big clue in this is the ransom note. The ransom note is ridiculous. Why didn't John have Patsy write a decent ransom note? Even if it was at the last minute, the 911 call could have been made at 6:10 and that gives them about 15 minutes for Patsy to write a more believable ransom note. A decent ransom note is only a few lines long. The only conclusion I can reach is that he didn't know before the 911 call or he knew, but didn't want to involve himself. I suspect he knew.

I agree...and I think that he was involved in the staging...long before the 911 call.

they happened in relation to the crime..esp the threats to kill his daughter..so I don't see why he didn't tell LE to be inconspicuous.

not at all.his fiber evidence indicates he was there.the RN pointing to former AG employee was co-authored by him.he had Patsy physically write it.he took a shower and washed off forensic evidence...Patsy did not.he had Patsy call 911.he handed them the notepad used to write the RN on ..PATSY'S notepad.He wasn't stupid.he did these things to point away from himself..and onto Patsy,if need be.
I think he had her finish up the note while he staged the body..and she did the finishing touches on everything while HE showered...that was his trick...to keep her busy so she didn't have time to shower.Pasty was so flustered she didn't even stop to think for one minute how it would look to the friends she'd just seen last night,to be wearing the same exact clothes the next morning when her daughter had been 'KN' the night bf,and then found dead in her own home the next day.

edited to add: If JR wasn't thinking of making Patsy appear guilty,(if all else fell through),then I think he would have yelled "quick,Patsy,go change those clothes ! You can't be seen in the same clothes you had on last night at the White's !"
Yes,he was taking care of himself,alright.

I think John was very rational. He was taking care of John.

he was taking care of John,alright.he did a lot of hiding behind Patsy.

steps fwd with what?he was play acting the whole time.

but they would also need time to rid of those other 3 pages of the first note..15 minutes isn't enough time.I suspect the practice pages were shredded to tiny bits and flushed,making them impossible to retrieve.JR likely had a shredder.a cross cut one would have made it esp difficult,once they were flushed.
but the sheer length of the note..he needed that much space to accurately point to JM and friends.a 'we got your kid,10 mill gets her back.we'll call you' just wasn't enough.he put li'l digs in throughout the note to point to them.

 

[JMO8778]

I wonder if they were tied that far apart, to use up all of the rope. What if there were only so much of it left....and so to use it up....and avoid cutting it, and having to dispose of the rest of it....they used what was left....and that's why there was 15 inches between each wrists. John might have realized how ridiculous that looked, to have that much rope in between, and was going to tie them closer together...but ran out of time..as you said. But...IN HIS MIND...he thought that he had tied them closer..because it was on his "LIST" of things to do before the police arrived. That is why..maybe..he said that they were tied closely together.

but I wonder why he didn't just wrap the rope around her wrists several times until he could tie it together and none would be left?
It seems by the time a KN scenario was to be the final staging,rigor had set in.Other wise her arms would likely have been crossed down in front of her, with her wrists tied together and the rope wrapped around them several times.

I've wondered this same thing. I also suspect this is why JR went to the basement first and rushed in before turning the light on to "untie" the knots on her wrists...he knew it looked bogus and staged, and needed to get to the body to misconstrue the crime scene before anyone else saw it and realized something was drastically off.

But NP, he rushed in and screamed. White was right behind him. I think he would have noticed it. However, he could have found her earlier that morning, as Thomas believes, and untied the knots then. I just don't think he is going to take that kind of a chance with everyone in the house. I can't see it.

Is there a video showing all this?

You could remove John from that and say an intruder was standing behind Patsy making her do all those things and the evidence would fit the same.

The ransom note points to a foreign faction. That's not Merrick. The ransom note also didn't point to the Whites, the housekeeper, McReynolds, or any of the other people the Ramseys tried to implicate.

Patsy could have had a video cam over her shoulder showing her writing the RN,and she still would have denied it !
Only there wasn't an intruder,and I don't think it would,see below.

indeed it does,and JM knows it (notice the part where ST asks JM 'why does JR keep bringing up your name?'.so that happened to him not just once,but many times:

http://www.acandyrose.com/20060830BoylesGuestJeffMerrick.htm

JR dictates RN to point to JM ---->JR keeps pointing out JM to LE

I think it fits.Esp. considering his 'this had to be an inside job' comment.

same way w the RN itself:

suspect(s) needed to point away from family members ---> RN written

..not only written,but written w. someone(s) in mind.

now go back and review the RN,not only what it says (b/c I fully believe he meant it to point to JM),but how JR's own wording also fits the note:

http://www.statementanalysis.com/ramseynote/

 

[JMO8778]

here's the part I mean,at the bottom:

On October 12, 2000, the Ramsey's did a webcast interview with Newseum (www.newsuem.org). In the interview, John Ramsey makes the following statement:

"The justice system is a government organization. And hence, should be looked at with some degree of skepticism."
​

8. Many Ramsey supporters believe the Ramseys did subconsciously adopt the phrase "and hence" found in the ransom note. Okay. I will admit it is possible. But lets take a closer look at the phrase "and hence." When we look at the original ransom note we find the writer had crossed out a word. 13. delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we
14. monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to
15. arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a earlier
16. delivery pickup of your daughter.
The writer started to say that upon receiving the money he would "deliver" JonBenet to her parents. He then realized that a kidnapper would not deliver the hostage but would tell the authorities where she could be found. Therefore, he changed it to "pick-up." It is doubtful that a kidnapper would make this mistake.

More importantly, an examination of the author's writing style shows us that whatever comes before the phrase "and hence" comes after the phrase "and hence." 13. delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we
14. monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to
15. arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a earlier
16. delivery pickup of your daughter.
We see the same writing style in the Ramsey's Christmas message.

"Had there been no birth of Christ, there would be no hope of eternal life, and, hence, no hope of ever being with our loved ones again."
​

So, the Ramsey supporters would have us believe that the Ramseys not only adopted the word "hence" they also adopted the phrase "and hence" and they also adopted the killer's writing style! Possible but not probable.

 

[Toltec]

Some behavioral profilers believe the sexual assault was staging due to the fact that there was no bruising in that area and they also believe the paintbrush was used to penetrate her. Patsy knew a head blow would not convince the Police that an intruder came in, bashed her on the head, left a ransom note...and left. She had to add something else so she chose a sexual assault.

I have a problem with the sexual aspect of the case because I cannot figure out who would be molesting JonBenet. She was a sheltered child and was exposed to a limited amount of people.

I also wonder if the wine cellar was where JonBenet was initially left. If a "kidnapping" scenario had occured...Police would question John WHY he hadn't checked the wine cellar. My belief is that she was initially placed behind the freezer in the basement and then when LE did not find her, John moved her to the wine cellar.

 

[JMO8778]

Re: the RN,maybe a bit from both of them,since it included some womanly phrases..something to consider:

DOI,p. 246,PR: John and I wrote a message of appreciation to our friends to be printed on the back of the liturgy of the day.We thanked the people for their support throughout the past year and expressed how much their love meant to us.We also commented on the meaning of the Christmas season and why it was important to remember the real reason we celebrate this time of the year.In composing this expression of appreciation,John and I each had written a version.With both copies in hand,John dictated and I typed at the computer as we merged the two into one.Later Susan Stine and Roxy Walker made a few edits as they typed it into the litugical program.This edited version included the phrase and hence.Those two words turned out to be the next bombshell!

So maybe they had some experience doing this before? (i.e. -the ransom note?) Perhaps that's why so many pages were missing from the writing tablet...they each wrote a version,and then (with both copies in hand,just as PR says above) merged the 2 into one,as JR dictated and PR did the writing.
Something to think about,for sure.Perhaps a confession (of sorts) from PR???

Good point. I have said that many times before....that I believed that Rigor had already started to set in, when her wrists were tied...and THAT is why they weren't closer together....its either that, or they were trying to use up the rest of the rope....or BOTH! They probably were going to wrap the wrists like you said, and use up the remainder of the rope....but, because of rigor...they had to just leave a 15 inch span of rope in between. That would be my guess....

Yes, and don't forget John's $118,000.00 bonus! I think that was inserted also to implicate JM. Why in the world would a member of a small foreign faction....know about John's bonus?? And why not ONE MILLION....I believe that if the RN wasn't meant to impicate someone...it would have demanded ONE MILLION or some nice EVEN number like that. John even wonders the same thing...why $118,000.00....why not one million? I will go even farther by saying...why not $120,000.00? BECAUSE $118,000.00 was the amount of HIS BONUS.....that's why.

The autopsy report does mention bruising in the area internally, not on the outside of the labia.
The sexual abuse was being done by someone in the family, as it had to be someone with repeated, private contact with JBR.

right on,and I doubt Patsy would have known the whole deal bet. JM,AG,and JR.(It sounds like I'm text messaging,lol).plus the bonus,too.even if she did,I don't think she would have thought to set them up.that makes me wonder just how much JR was involved in JB's death,if he is involved in it,more than just covering for Patsy.

good point,that should also shed some light on a timeline (her est. TOD was at or b/f 1AM),so how long does it take rigor to set it,at least as far as not being able to move her arms?
bc the vag. wound,staged or not,had to have occurred b/f death.Then it appears she was garroted,hands left above her head.
it appears someone leaves the body awhile, then comes back either for staging or for restaging,and at that point,is unable to move her arms.
someone correct me if this doesn't fit.

Time of Death:
Determination of the time of death, or the interval between
the time of death and when a body is found (i.e., postmortem
interval), can be difficult. A forensic pathologist attempts to
determine the time of death as accurately as possible realizing,
however, that such a determination is only a best estimate.
Unless a death is witnessed, or a watch breaks during a
traumatic incident, the exact time of death cannot be determined.
The longer the time since death, the greater the chance for error
in determining the postmortem interval. There are numerous
individual observations which, when used together, provide the
best estimate of the time of death. These include: rigor mortis,
livor mortis, body temperature, decompositional changes, and
stomach contents. A thorough scene investigation must also be
performed and environmental conditions should be documented.
The environment is the single most important factor in
determining the postmortem interval.

Rigor Mortis:
After death, the muscles of the body initially become flaccid.
Within one to three hours they become increasingly rigid and the
joints freeze by a process named rigor mortis (or postmortem
rigidity or rigor). Although the exact chemical reaction causing
muscles to stiffen has not been determined, rigor mortis is
similar to physiologic muscle contraction and involves calcium,
ATP, and ADP. The difference, however, is the formation of
locking chemical bridges between the muscle proteins actin and
myosin, and lack of muscle shortening in rigor mortis. In
physiologic muscle contraction, actin molecules slide over
myosin and the muscle shortens.

Rigor mortis is affected by body temperature and metabolic
rate: the higher the body temperature, more lactic acid is
produced, and rigor occurs sooner. For example, a person
dying with pneumonia and a fever will develop rigor sooner
than a person with normal body temperature. Similarly, if a
person's muscles were involved in strenuous physical activity
just before death, rigor develops much more quickly. The
process is also retarded in cooler environmental temperatures
and accelerated in warmer ones.

All muscles of the body begin to stiffen at the same time
after death. Muscle groups appear to stiffen at different rates
because of their different sizes. For example, stiffness is
apparent sooner in the jaw than in the knees. Thus, an examiner
must check to see if joints are moveable in the jaws, arms, and
legs.

A body is said to be in complete rigor when the jaw, elbow,
and knee joints are immovable. This takes approximately 10-12
hours at an environmental temperature in the range of 70 - 75 'F.
A body remains rigid for 24-36 hours before the muscles begin
to loosen, apparently in the same order they stiffened.
A body remains rigid until rigor passes or a joint is
physically moved and rigor is broken. Consequently, in addition
to an estimate of the time of death, body position in full rigor
can indicate whether or not a body has been moved after death.

Livor Mortis:
Livor mortis is the discoloration of the body after death by
the settling of blood no longer being pumped through the body
by the heart. Blood settles in vessels by gravity in dependent
areas of the body and colors the skin purple red. Some
dependent areas may not discolor because skin compressess
against a bony surface and prevents blood from settling in
capillaries. For example, if blood settles to the back, pale areas
occur over the scapula and buttocks. Livor mortis is noticeable
approximately one hour after death. The color increases in
intensity, becomes "fixed" in about 8 hours, does not blanche
under pressure, and remains in those areas even if a body is
repositioned. There may be a slight discoloration in new
dependent areas after repositioning even though the blood
remains fixed in the original position. Fixed blood seen in a
nondependent location indicates that a body has been moved
after death. Livor mortis is visible until the body becomes
completely discolored by decomposition.

Variations in color during livor mortis depend on the cause
of death. Carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning, hypothermia,
and refrigeration cause bright, cherry red livor mortis. People
who die from extensive blood loss have very light
or nonexistent livor mortis due to the small amount of blood in
their system. Livor mortis is more difficult to determine in
dark-skinned individuals.

In some cases, capillaries in dependent areas rupture causing
small hemorrhages or bleeds. These hemorrhages, called
"Tardieu" spots, are particularly common in distal extremities of
hanging victims. If they occur on the head they should not be
mistaken for smaller pinpoint hemorrhages called petechiae.
Petechiae occur when death is due to any sudden increase in
blood pressure, such as a sudden stoppage of the heart in natural
death, or in chest or neck compression in accidents or
strangulation. They are commonly seen on the head, in the eyes,
and internal organs.

Body Cooling (Algor mortis)
After death, the body cools from its normal internal
temperature to the surrounding environmental temperature.
Many studies have examined this decrease in body temperature
to determine formulae which could predict its consistency.
Unfortunately, because of numerous variables, body cooling is
an inaccurate method of predicting postmortem interval. In
general, however, evaluating a decrease in body temperature is
most helpful within the first ten hours after death. During this
time, with a normal body temperature and at an ideal
environmental temperature of 70 - 75°F, the body cools at
approximately 1.5°F per hour.

The problem with using the 1.5°F per hour calculation is the
assumption that the internal and environmental temperatures are
98.6° and 70 - 75°, respectively. If a decedent's body
temperature were higher than normal because of infection or
physical exercise, 98.6° could not be used. Furthermore, the
outside environment is rarely in the 70 - 75° range. For example,
a body may actually gain heat if an individual expires outdoors
in July, when temperatures may be greater than 100°.
Conversely, if a person expires in a 25° environment, rapid
cooling will take place.

Nonetheless, if body temperature is measured at a scene it
should be taken on at least two separate occasions before a body
is moved. A rectal or liver temperature is the most accurate
measurement. The environmental temperature should also be
recorded. If these relatively simple procedures are followed, a
very crude estimate of the postmortem interval can be made.

Although not up to date, the above may assist in deciding roughly JonBenet's Time Of Death?

Patsy knew a head blow would not convince the Police that an intruder came in, bashed her on the head, left a ransom note...and left. She had to add something else so she chose a sexual assault.

Not even the pathologist has stated that JonBenet was assaulted with the paintbrush. The head injury was never visible until the internal examination was undertaken at her autopsy. The alleged sexual assault was cleaned up and hidden beneath her urine-soaked longjohns, but fresh, clean size-12 underwear, all buried beneath the white blankets!

I have a problem with the sexual aspect of the case because I cannot figure out who would be molesting JonBenet. She was a sheltered child and was exposed to a limited amount of people.

Was it Sherlocke Holme's who said once you eliminate the impossible, only the probable is left to consider?

Unless you wish to advance an intruder theory, the forensic evidence leaves you in no doubt that a family member sexually assaulted JonBenet then killed her. Using your own observation : She was a sheltered child and was exposed to a limited amount of people. then its highly likely that the same person was responsible for her chronic molestation?

[phenolred]

or CHRONIC DOUCHING... Also, I was watching CSI last night, (and I know everything on those shows is not always truce science) BUT this did make alot of sense.


The guy doing an autopsy last night was talking about a skull fracture. He said that if the person FELL into and OBJECT that the skull injury would be deeper on one end of the fracture than the other ( AT THE POINT OF IMPACT)

 

[UKGuy]

JMO8778,

According to the above information, rigor sets in anywhere from one to three hours.

So lets assume she was killed at 1AM then at 4AM she is in full or near complete rigor.

What you suggest would fit, even more so, if the reason she is still wearing the white-gap top is that the rigor prevented its removal and the redressing in her barbie-gown?

One inconsistency relates to the garrote, since Coroner Meyer implies this was used to asphyxiate JonBenet, but by the time of the wine-cellar staging JonBenet was dead in rigor-mortis, so I assume she was strangled long before this point in time?
