And what makes you more of an expert than Mr. DePue? In fact, here's what his collegue, Robert Ressler said:
"style, language and information contained in the note point to an approximately 40-year-old white woman from the South"
And I could go on and on.
Special Agent Ron Walker (a behavioral scientist himself) read the ransom note and knew it was not real. After arriving at the Ramsey home he proceeded to the basement and commented...
"Look at the parents...no bulls**t."
He also said this:
"Well, as much as it pains me to say it, yes, I've seen parents who have decapitated their children, I've seen cases where parents have drowned their children in bathtubs, I've seen cases where parents have strangled their children, have placed them in paper bags and smothered them, have strapped them in car seats and driven them into a body of water, any way that you can think of that a person can kill another person, almost all those ways are also ways that parents can kill their children."
As long as JBR's killer is not positively identified, you kinda have to be open to various ideas,
It's one thing to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brain falls out.
If PR's handwriting matched the handwriting in the RN, she would've been arrested and tried. There is no match, so she wasn't.
I'm afraid it's more complicated than that. In fact, almost to answer you, Pete Hofstrom actually said, "So what if she wrote the note. That doesn't prove she killed her kid."
HOTYH, there are many reasons why Patsy Ramsey wasn't put in prison. Lack of evidence ain't one of 'em, and I'd be glad to list them for you.
Holdon: There are six experts who believe her handwriting matches:
Among the six experts who believe Patsy Ramsey wrote the note are Gideon Epstein and Cina Wong, who said they were "100 percent certain" Mrs. Ramsey wrote the ransom note.
True.
They are not for pretend as RDI claims. They are for real.
I'm afraid the evidence says otherwise: no marks from restraint, no marks from the cord moving on the neck, etc.
There are some pretty qualified experts, such as FBI, who "discard" the evidence as staging and not an authentic kidnapping-gone-wrong. There's plenty of good reason to "discard" things like the RN and the wrist restraints and tape as staging and not as what they were meant to appear as.
I think CASKU is capable of discerning a real crime scene from a staged one. It's a panel of experts who specialize in crimes like this. If they thought it looked staged, and saw "staging within staging", then I think they knew exactly what they were talking about.
That's more homicide experience talking than we'll ever have.
There's only after-the-murder stuff here. Nothing before the murder?
Any reason why that's not enough? But if you must know, JonBenet was reported to be behaving oddly after a trip to Texas.
Thanks, HOTYH, none of those links say the two samples of DNA match each other....because they haven't be able to prove that yet.
Afraid he's right.
Where do you derive your "white, no" opinion from?
Tom Wickman. He was the evidence man in this case. He stated on tv back in December that there wasn't enough DNA to test for race anyway.
I wonder why Silverman would say it was white male.
He was misinformed, and practically admitted it on a radio broadcast a few weeks later.
