Who would you pick to interview John Ramsey and why? What three questions would you ask?

[AddieBoo]

It seems like so many of the True Crime/Web Sleuths communities are frustrated by the seemingly lack of independent journalism when it comes to the interviews of John Ramsey. So!
Just imagine: You have been given Executive Producer power, for a 60 minute style, live, prime time interview with John Ramsey. Who do you choose to conduct that interview and what three questions would you pose to him?

 

[ErinC]

I would love to see him sit down with Ann Curry. It's hard to decide what to ask because he's got to have so many responses practiced and thus I'm not sure his response and body language would mean a lot. However...

1. Mr. Ramsey, did you have anything to do with your daughter's death?

2. Can you think of anyone, anyone at all, that you can visualize as having had potential involvement?

3. What leads you to believe that said person/persons might have had involvement, and why?

It's really hard to decide, because I'm not sure how much meaningful information anyone will get out of him at this late date, but those are my best guesses at useful questions.

Ann Curry is a great choice! She has such compassion but can be shrewd and direct also! Love her.
Direct to the point questions. He hasn’t faced too many of those,

I might go with Andrea Canning because I've seen her ask some tough questions and my 3 questions would be:

1. Because the ransom note may have referenced things like your bonus and the writing had similarities to Patsy's, do you feel like the killer of your daughter tried to frame either you or Patsy?

2. If you took yourself out of the equation and were looking at all of the evidence from an outsiders point of view, can you see why a lot of people do not believe in the intruder theory?

3. Will you submit to an FBI conducted polygraph test to finally prove to everyone that you did not kill or know who killed Jonbenet?

Canning would be awesome!

Great introspective questions.Would love to hear his answers to those.
FBI absolutely!

 

[Soulmagent]

Which one of ,the 2 of you murdered your daughter? That is my only question.

 

[Lilibet]

I choose Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. Although her interviews are political and non-adversarial, I like the way she starts out summarizing her interviewee’s position and then asking “Do I have that right?”

My three questions (I have so many more!!):

1) Why did you (or Patsy) risk JB’s life calling friends to come to your house if the note said it was being watched?

2) Why weren’t you and Patsy distressed when the call from the “kidnappers” didn’t come on time?

3) Why did you carry your daughter up from the basement, contaminating her and the crime scene?

 

[Ponytale]

Since I can not name any good hosts to conduct the interview I can not answer that part unfortunately. But my questions would be:

1) What was so important that made you want to leave to another state so quickly after your daughters dead body had just been found?

2) What was the reason for sealing all Burkes records (school and medical) from the police?

3) How and why did the phone and credit card records go missing for the month of December?

But then again I doubt if those answers would be reliable anyway, so I would ask those or any questions from John only if he would be tied to an polygraph under my eyes (or given some drugs that would make him spill his beans more likely).

LOL.. right?
I want to know those answers also. Phone records for December…BR medical records … major and crucial information. Didn’t JR gift his pilot one of his planes? IIRC?

Even the body language experts, deception analysts people are on this gravy train.
MOO.

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

In all honesty, no one. None. IMO he can sit down with investigators and answer their questions. Unscripted and without prompt. And even better, why not include a polygraph conducted by an accredited licensed FBI or similar professional. And how about depositions under oath.

If one wants to seek or ensure justice for a young child, that would IMO be more productive and enlightening. It does not seem that more documentaries and public statements have served the case. Christmas of 1996. 28 Christmas’ past if math serves me. SMH. MOO

Rachael Maddow would be intense! She had such amazing resources! Love her!
So many questions unanswered about this case…

My choice for interviewer would be Mehdi Hasan.

Three questions:

If you have the power to save your children and grandchildren a legacy of suspicion, speculations, and injustice, a life based on the infamous unsolved murder of your daughter, would you use that power to release them from that burden, without regard to your personal consequences?

What do you think lead the Grand Jury to believe, with probable cause, JonBenet lived in a dangerous, life threatening environment, that you and Patsy were completely aware of, and ignored.

Just about all your friends were among all the suspects at one time or another. Many named by you. Those friends showed up for swabs, and interviews and hair samples…Yet is appears all your inner circle of friends were eventually alienated by you and Patsy. - except the Stines. The last people to see your family “intact” before the murder, yet you didn’t contact them morning of the 26th. What was your relationship with the Stines, and how was that relationship different from all your other friends?

These are great questions. Especially the first.

My choice would be Johnny Mendes, the CIA spy. She has discussed the importance of forming great questions while she rooted out traitors. I would love to see her take on this.

I think John Ramsey doesn't need to be interviewed at this point. He gave a very thorough interview with Lou Smit and others. I would like to have a very careful and wide ranging interview with people who spent time with Mary Bernice Johnson, and then interview her. She can be found in the Denver Womens Correctional Facility where she is basically serving a life sentence. She was sentenced for seven crimes including two attempted murders. The judge gave her the maximum sentence for each crime.

For those who don't know, her phone interview appeared in the A&E 2019 documentary (which I just saw) Hunting JonBenet's Killer: The Untold Story. Bernice entered Todd Fuss's home at the end of Dec 1998, put a knife in his head and bullets in his girlfriend. Her child and another were home at the time. A week prior she lost custody of her daughter, Cinnamon, to Todd. Two years later almost to the day of JonBenet's murder. What are the odds that a psychotic criminal like Bernice lived in Boulder in 1996 and attended many of the same pageants as the Ramseys and yet had no connection to the murder of JonBenet? Only 2 years later Bernice spiraled out of control. In 2000 the judge considered her so dangerous that he or she threw the book at her. Interesting, too, that in 2019 Bernice felt the need to insert herself into the case. Not to mention her involvement with S.B.T.C. from the Victory realm.

My question, how did you feel about your daughter being sexualized by patsy in beauty pageants and for professional photographers ?

Did any suspect run through your mind when you seen the exact amount of your bonus being demanded in the ransom note and if so why were you suspicious of them ?
