I don't believe Burke would have held to lies and secrets in an interview ,by a professional, designed to uncover inconsistencies. There is the hole in this theory, IMO.
sissi,
IMO Burke knows everything. But it apparently hasn't been easy for him to continue with the lies and to withhold the secrets, but he did. The counseling Burke has received in the past has also likely helped him to keep it together.
In June of 1998 the Ramseys, including Burke, were interviewed separately for three days by the police. Burke was 11 by then. Here's Patsy being interviewed by Tom Haney:
TOM HANEY: " ... but have you seen changes in Burke since the incident?"
PATSY RAMSEY: "Um, he's grown like a weed. I think he's a little more cautious, you know, looking around, see if anybody is parked where they shouldn't be parked. You know, locks the door when he comes in and goes out. You know, those kinds of things."
TOM HANEY: "How about with the moving and all of that, has that caused some problems for him, change of schools?"
PATSY RAMSEY: "Yeah. And I have been in touch with the counselors and the teachers and everybody, alert to this. And they said that -- they are remarkably surprised at how well he is doing. He just makes friends and gets good grades."
TOM HANEY: "So his adjustment's been pretty ..."
PATSY RAMSEY: "Been pretty good."
TOM HANEY: "You mentioned I think when I asked you yesterday, had you seen an interview from last week with Burke. You said no?"
PATSY RAMSEY: "No."
TOM HANEY: "There were like three days, and the first two days were pretty basic questions, but on the third day, there were questions where the discussion was around JonBenet and the death. And I am no psychologist, psychiatrist, but immediately noticed a change in Burke and his demeanor. He's curled up on the chair something like this, not sitting like this, and he's half in a fetal position and it seems to be a real struggle, a real difficult time. I am wondering if you had noticed anything similar, any changes?"
PATSY RAMSEY: "Well, I may have -- I have had him in therapy just for this reason. So that, I mean, the therapist explained to me that -- that Burke may be trying to hold it together and be real strong for John and I, you know."
TOM HANEY: "Does it seem like he knows more than he's saying, and obviously he's not saying much?
PATSY RAMSEY: "Right."
