"People confess to crimes they didn't commit all the time. They want the notariety.
So far, there is no compelling evidence that this guy did it."
This is what I'm wondering too. But obviously the authorities involved know that. They must have more on him.
The statement out of the DA's office seemed they are convinced that this is their man.
"I get the feeling this guy is a nutcase looking for 15 minutes of hard-earned fame"
Agreed. I am very skeptical that this perv had anything to do with it.
I agree with both of you. I still think it was a family member, and Patsy took the info to her grave. JMO
I just googled both him and JonBenet, even his family sounds very strange. The brother is vouching for him saying what a wonderful family man he is, yet he skipped on child porn charges, the brother doesn't even know how old his nephews are, he can't remember if he had spent Christmas with them and he's not sure if he is still married or seperated. The father thought he was dead and the wife claims he and his family name ruined her life and he is forbidden to see his children. He absolutely gives me the creeps!!! and then I just also read that he was communicating with a professor and he was so disturbing that the prof. called the police. There was also a file opened up in his name with the Colorado Board of Education although he never actually applied for a teaching job. The detectives messed this case up from day one, that much is fact.
>>>and if the DNA does not match up....this case is blown.>>>
Boulder news are reporting the DNA is a match.
I'm in the "hold-the-phone" camp on this guy. Something about it (at least info that's avail now) doesn't add up... yet.
"The statement out of the DA's office seemed they are convinced that this is their man."
Maybe they want to get him back in the US to face the child pornography charges in California. THis whole thing doesn't make sense. My brain cannot get past Patsy's handwriting and style in the ransom note.
And, his brother said that he was with them that Christmas. The brother didn't live near the ex-wife, so one of them is definitely wrong, if not both of them.
Anybody?
Anybody???
(Does this really need a sarcasm tag?)
I remember thinking the first time I saw a sample from the ransom note, that there was something effeminate about the handwriting. I'd like to see his handwriting.
Yes..IF.
I'd like to see the DNA test results..or maybe that's already been posted???
"Maybe they want to get him back in the US to face the child pornography charges in California"
No. The DA's office notified the Ramsey's attorney that they had arrested this guy.
He is not a "random pervert," but a psycho who is facinated by child murder stories. He wrote a term paper in college about the JonBonnett murder, and his prof told him he should write a book. He has spoken with many people about the murder, including JonBonnet's grandparents.
The guy is a nutjob, and I'm sure that a prision in Thailand is not a good place to be....we'll have to wait and see what else comes out of his mouth.
Ok. Maybe it was an accident. Well if it was, why didn't you go to the police and report it immediately? That is the question I have. Cover ups are always bad.
The only person I heard say that the DNA matches is Patsy's sister. Are they simply repeating what she said?
One does wonder what line he crossed in Thailand...
Another wierd thing in the case that was never really answered. Apparently, several friends/neighbors claimed JonBenet told them that she was going to have a "special" visit from Santa Clause. She was quite emphatic about it.
Patsy (her mother) never heard JonBenet talk about this but others did. Very strange. Could be something to his "picking her up from school" earlier. Did he say Christmas Eve? Should be easy enough to see if there was school on Christmas Eve -doubt that line.
The first thing they have on him is that he is a fugative from justice. He never shouwed up in court on his 2001 child porn case. From that point onward he was on the lam and running from the authorities.
THAT is why he is being held in Thailand.
