Why doesn't anyone think it could've been John.

BR is such a wildcard in this. it wouldn't surprise me if he did it. it wouldn't surprise me if he had nothing to do with it and doesn't even know anything.

Tricky case, but son would have been taken out of the home and the R's couldn't bear the fallout. I think PR dreamed up the cover-up and JR dutifully went along with it. And is, to this day. JMO

strong possibility

certainly every time i read the part of the ransom note where they call themselves "a small foreign faction", i not only laugh, i get a strong housewife vibe. it never fails to remind me of my mom trying to talk about gi joe or something like that.

i like to imagine that, if RDI, JR privately gave PR a hard time about that choice of words. "next time we're covering up a murder, let ME write the fake ransom note."
