Punctuation: Imagine someone writing a ransom note while being careful to punctuate properly. Not only that, but there are a lot of exclamation marks in that note....very similar to the yearbook pattern.
Sarcasm: Both the note and the yearbook contain sarcasm. In the yearbook: "Thanks for caring (unlike your loving sister)". Surely Tara's sister would read the note. That was his "get even" to her.
The note: "Don't try to grow a brain, John". Find out who said that to John Karr (or something similar), and you might have a connection. Sarcastic "rejection" statements.
Words: We all have our own "thing". I use a phrase that drives my kids nuts. My daughter refers to anything over 1 as "millions".
The yearbook: John writes: "Sometimes, so blurred by my own eyes, I've seen the best things come and go simultaneously".
After he was picked up, Suwart said the suspect described the encounter (murder) as a "blur".
This implies two things: Crying and/or "I'm trying to forget and can't.
His obsession mught just be that he thought he could bury the murder but it is torturing him. He talks about it as if it is an obsession. It is not. It's called a "conscience".
His research and correspondence is like going to a physciatrist. He can get it all out. Isn't that what shrinks do? One of his correspondence refers to what I believe is a book on Sexual Disorders.
Where are the handwriting samples of the ransom note and yearbook writings?
TIA
Sacajaweau, what you are describing is what I've heard called "consciousness of guilt".
To nopardons, who will say he didn't murder Polly Klaas but he was obsessed with her, or the other children whose murders he also closely followed, I say, if he murdered JonBenet that is the only one of the famous ones that he needs to be guilty of in order for him to fold them into his "consciousness of guilt". Not that he personally did them, but they fit into his thought patterns and even action patterns, if he's a child murderer himself.
Nopardons says Karr claimed to be at a party at the Ramseys on Christmas Day, and of course there wasn't one.
Incorrect...he claimed to have been at a party prior to the murder, did not say it was on Christmas day. The media reported that the Ramseys had one on the 23rd and suggested that was the one he was claiming to be at (I'm not saying he WAS, just talking about his claim.).
Onyx, you joked that he might be "a valid suspect" alright, in quoting MY words to that effect, because after all he was brought all the way from Thailand. Took it as a joke anyway and a sarcastic knock on the prosecutor (not to mention, me).
Skipping over that part, the other words I used were that he has to be carefully investigated and either ruled out or ruled in. There is enough there to qualify for dereliction of duty if the prosecutor were to just laugh it off and slap it away without a very thorough look-see.
I wrote that to you because you had said you didn't know of a single forum member who thought he did it. Since then about 3 or so have bravely admitted they think so, or at least think he COULD have.
I'm in the latter category, and have so stated.
This just came back to mind: nopardons also said in derision against his possible guilt..."have you heard the phone call tape? He sounded insane!" (paraphrase)
I've heard it. I agree he sounded "insane" on the phone call tape.
JonBenet's murderer could not possibly sound so "insane"...was that the point??
Of course he could. That's the realistic point. OF COURSE HE COULD.
