I just watched one, where JBR's spirit, through audio static, communicated that BR was the culprit. (Post GJ Indictment)

Lots of communication in the spirit realm.

Here is one of those psychic videos with Tarot cards. I find the interest and different angles in the case interesting. Not sure how she got there but I do not think she did a bad job with the case in my opinion:

Here is part of the article which mentions Bill Thomas whose sister was killed by the offender known as the Colonial Parkway Killer:

Some victims are speaking out.

A recent article focused on on Bill Thomas, whose sister Cathy’s 1986 murder in Colonial Parkway, Virginia, remains unsolved. Bill is at the first day of CrimCon, an annual true crime festival, to draw attention to his sister’s murder and put pressure on the FBI to investigate it further. To do that, he has to rub shoulders with people wearing clothes emblazoned with serial killers’ faces.

I think there are some valid points made in the article above and some serious ones that need to be addressed in relation to the prevention of future crimes and of course having a Serial Killers face on a T Shirt is bad taste. Most peoples interest in the True Crime Genre is genuine interest or curiosity and most people are not criminals or serial killers. How do you stop it and decide who can be interested and of course people watch horror movies and slasher movies:

Of course those of us who are fortunate enough not to have lost a relative to a serious crime hope it stays that way so we cannot understand fully where those like Bill Thomas are coming from. Of course the villain in the Colonial Parkway Murders is like a villain from one of those slasher movies many of us have occasionally watched.

This is about another case but one I would also like to see solved and have an interest in and have studied. Also I think it has relevance to the post above as it is a trailer for a movie about the Springfield Three. I am sure the victims relatives would much rather the case be solved than have a movie but that is our world:

Or more precise have their loved ones back.

Here is another recent Podcast about the case:


The Podcast comes from West Virginia and that is where Patsy Ramsey was originally from and of course the killer told John Ramsey to use his good southern common sense.

A 'pop group' have made a song about the East Area Rapist. There is apparently a 'pop group' named after the Black Dahlia Murder. The point I am trying to make is the world is not often white or black if you excuse the politically incorrect phrase it moves to shades of grey and hence the person in the office sat next to you might listen to this. The Black Dahlia is an old case but it is an horrific murder of a human being and like the Jack The Ripper case when does it become old enough people are not so offended about references to it in a more flippant way:

Extremely Horrific! Very Awful in a Bad Way!

Here is a recent You Tube video about the Ransom Note:

Here is a recent You Tube video about the Ransom Note:


In my opinion the people or person who made this video make the mistake most people do with the Ransom Note. It was a sick joke written before the crime in my opinion. Hence when the experts in a program like The Case Of JonBenet Ramsey look at it they are using their great minds to analysis the sick joke of a warped mind and the author would certainly find that in itself very funny:

Again in my opinion the author was the most prolific serial killer in US history. He was very good at committing crimes but had a child like mind and this is reflected in the joke Ransom Note.

Here is report about the arrest of John Mark Karr and for a time it was thought the case may have been solved:


Jailed paedo claims he knows who killed JonBenét Ramsey and he set up FAKE 'murder scene' to fool cops

In my opinion it was not a personal attack on the Ramsey's. To me the killer spent time in the home and found out some information about the Ramsey family and out these in the Ransom note for a joke. It was of course a very brutal murder and that was because it was the work of a very vicious killer but he had no criminal record for violence up to his capture.

Of course the thing that probably turned the JonBenet Ramsey case into a tabloid sensation were the child beauty contests which to most people looked awful:

Stating the obvious most people are not serial killers and are appalled by their crimes and mean well and care about the victims. The True Crime Genre is a huge business because of public fascination. Former LE are also involved in this phenomena after they retire and almost become celebrities. Here is a video about a True Crime Magazine:

I am a foreigner and the Ramsey case is America's own but there is a lot of interest in it throughout the world particularly amongst females in my opinion. Time moves on and stops for no man and even for a murdered six year old girl but from what I can see it is still the biggest single case in the US:


Many of us have our theories and think we know who killed JonBenet but of course we cannot all be right.

This documentary is of course part of popular culture. I watched it some time well after its release and my overall feelings are that it contributed very little constructively about the case. Here is a recent review of it:

Review: Casting JonBenet

Here is part of the review:

A part of the documentary that the audience deemed inappropriate was when the boys, auditioning as the victim’s brother, Burke Ramsey, were handed hammers and a watermelon was placed in front of them. The watermelon represented a head. Destroying the watermelon proved the adults wrong, the boys were capable of injuring someone, and that someone could be a little six-year-old girl. A theory in the case was that the victim’s brother could be the killer and the parents covered it up. They didn’t want to lose both of their kids, so they created this idea of someone breaking into their home, writing a ransom note but kills the girl in the end. Leaving the body in the wine cellar.

This documentary, like all documentaries, had its own ups and downs. How it was directed may come off as offensive, because of the lack of energy put into it. If you know the case well enough this is a good way to see how others viewed it and what their opinions are.

Here is an interesting article which I think is a joke but nothing would surprise me:

I’m Applying For This Loan To Open A True Crime Bakery

Here is part of the above blog:

From podcasts to Lifetime movies, it’s clear that America is obsessed with true crime and when I say America, I mean middle-class white women. The only thing these ladies love more than gruesome murders are delicious desserts. That’s why I’m applying for this $100,000 small business loan to open the world’s first true crime bakery, “Devil’s Food In The White City.”
