An arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case is due to happen "shortly," according to sources in our newsroom -- I know I can't post the link to our site (we're a Gannett station, and despite the "ban", I would welcome the traffic), but most of you know where I work and what the site is...
According to our sister station in Denver, an arrest took place early this morning in Thailand.
Stand by for details and updates as they come in.
Jon Benet may not have been old enough for her to have had him as a teacher but Burke would most likely have been in his class the year before, so there would have been a connection there.
What was the square footage of the Ramsey's house in Boulder? Anyone know?
I don't tend to associate second-grade teachers with "drifters". Not impossible but I'm guessing there's a lot more to this if it adds up. I'm also just a little suspicious of who might be tipping this off.
I also think Patsy's death is not incoincidental in the timing of the arrest.
Unbelievabler! You people are conservatives?
You have to remember this was ten years ago...before Fox and FR...we were spoon fed all these *facts* by the MSM......
Patsy Ramsey was ostricized...shunned. A friend of mine moved in her neighborhood and got to know her well. Both of their boys were in baseball together. My friend commented about how nice and polite she was. She did have a core group of friends. After a while, I'm sure the public accepted her again...to a point.
Happened to Jeffrey Dahmer.
even some people who claim they are conservatives are idiots. I can't believe anyone at this point is still trying to point the finger at the Ramsey's. I heard on Foxnews this guy has confessed to the crime. He also has a record as a pervert. Case closed IMO!
ABC reporting that the DNA is a match!
Game, set, match!
Yes, I am a conservative but I'm a very open-minded guy with a background in logic and information analysis, and I also know what kind of nasty stuff happens sometimes in the world. It's not that these crimes are that common, it's just that with modern communications technology, we now hear about all the lurid crime going on around the world. The same crimes happened 100 years ago, but people didn't hear much about them back then.
Excellent news. I pray that they finally caught the vermin who killed that little girl.
I used to believe that the parents were somehow involved in her death until I really looked at the available evidence, saw pictures of her little body and read the reports. Back then the thinking was "no one just takes a child from their bedroom in the middle of the night." Since then all sorts of horrific crimes have happened to children who were taken out of their beds by complete strangers. Granted, JonBenet was never taken out, but I believe that she was going to be. Something went wrong, he either couldn't get her out the way he planned, or he couldn't wait and he molested and killed her, leaving the long, rambling, nonsensical note behind.
The ransom note always bothered me. Once I saw it, and I didn't think it look like Patsy's writing samples, it didn't make sense to me that educated people as the Ramseys would not write such a rambling, ridiculous note demanding such an odd amount of money. They are not stupid; they would have to know that the handwriting would be looked at. The amount, if it was in fact the amount of John's bonus, would be a huge red flag. If they were cunning enough to stage the scene, complete with garrotte and suitcase by the broken window, how did they completely turn into morons and compose a blatantly juvenile three-page ransom note, using their own notepad and sharpie, to boot--not to mention the practice note that was found in the garbage? It never added up for me.
Hearing that this vermin confessed and knew only details that LE knew, I pray that he will plead guilty and be put away. Hearing that Patsy was told that he was in their sites and would soon be arrested makes me think that she then felt she could finally let go. She died knowing her baby's killer was finally found.
When Lou Smitt was put on the case everyone raved how this brilliant detective would solve the crime--after all he had solved some 300 crimes. When he came to the conclusion that the Ramseys were not involved, he suddenly didn't know what he was talking about and was treated as a fool. There was definite tunnel vision by the Boulder PD.
I pray this is their guy, and that he won't be able to hurt another baby again.
They already tested his DNA?......wow
John Ramsey has issued a statement:
They have been onto him for months.
They've apparently been quietly firming up their case for the past 2 months.
Think again. Think about the "ransom note" and who might have written it and why. Also look at some of the reported statements by the parents that do not make sense, such as a reported statement by the father that he did not find his daughter on his first search of the basement. If he actually said that, I don't believe a father would ever have missed his daughter in the first search. That house isn't that big. OTOH, I saw the father on TV once and he struck me as a perfectly normal guy who would never harm his daughter. Nonetheless some of their statement don't make sense.
apparently so.....RIP Patsy..
But we do have predatory deviancy here.
Look at all the abductions in Florida this year.
At least we have not legalized pedophelia... yet.
I'm thinking that some of these questions will be cleared up as we know the whole story. Off the top of my head, I'd say he knew Patsy Ramsey in some fashion.
Yes. This case is weird. It's the Lindburgh
case of this generation. Many mysteries and
unanswered questions.
