6. She was only dragged a few feet from where LE thought she was attacked, just outside the wine cellar door, on the carpeted area near the freezer and heater boiler, into the wine cellar to conceal her body. Then the door was closed and the wooden stop-latch, a small chunk of wood on a nail, at the top of the door jamb, was turned down to lock it.
7. Qui'en sabe? This one's more than I want to get into right now.
8. Another "too complicated" one for now.
9. I can't imagine why - but there is another explanation that defies belief. Has to do with a kid misunderstanding "Hi-Tec" for "high tech" and thinking his light-up sneakers or ones with a compass on them were the answer.
10. I don't believe in stun guns

Your replies were excellent. I'm particularly interested in what you think of 7 and 8? I think that questions 5, 7 and 8 are crucial to this case. I got a recording of the 911 tape but I can't hear anything. That's partly b/c the volume of PR and the dispatcher is so much louder than John and Burke, so it's hard to set the volume right. Any audio gurus out there that can isolate the relevant portion and increase the volume? Anyway, I think the time of death, manner of head trauma, and the 911 tape are the biggest obstacles in my mind for accepting the Ramseys version of events.
Where did you find out about the overhead door latch? Also, the batteries? I didn't know they were wiped clean, too. Was the flashlight a mag-lite? If not, what kind was it? Was it one of those soft "grippy" kind or was it metallic?
