Don't think so. What was the motive?
there isn't one. Patsey waited her whole life to have a little girl like Jonbenet. Patsey was in pageants her whole life and Jonbenet love them and Patsey enjoyed every minute doing pageants with Jonbenet. It was something special they did together and Patsey and Jonbenet were best friends. Patsey loved that girl more than life itself, the way a mother loves her child! No motive! She wasn't jealous of JOnbenet or anything like that. Patsey was a calm, beautiful woman, who had no reason to kill her sweet little girl.
Excerpt from Crime Magazine, 2003:
"There is other evidence that is inconsistent with John and Patsy's account of what happened after they came home on Christmas Day evening:
The fingerprints of Patsy and Burke were found on a bowl on a kitchen table from which JonBenet ate pineapple sometime after she arrived home, according to Det. Thomas, something inconsistent with the statements by John and Patsy that JonBenet was asleep when they arrived at home and never woke up. JonBenet had apparently gotten up during the night (or had never gone to sleep) and, with the help of Patsy and/or Burke (either of whom could reach the bowl stored in a cabinet well above the height JonBenet could reach), was served and ate the last food she consumed before she was killed.
All five of the fingerprints recovered from the pad on which the ransom note was written that did not belong to policemen, according to Det. Thomas, belonged to Patsy.
In a version of the tape of Patsy's call to 911 enhanced by audio technicians consulted by Boulder police, Burke's voice is heard in the background at a time when John and Patsy say Burke was asleep, according to Det. Thomas and author Lawrence Schiller. "Please, what did I do?" Burke asks. "We're not speaking to you," an angry sounding John Ramsey responds. "Help me Jesus, help me Jesus," Patsy says. "What did you find?" Burke pleads.
Moreover, the ransom note was likely written by Patsy, according to Vassar professor and linguistic expert Don Foster (the author of Author Unknown , who unmasked Joe Klein as the author of Primary Colors), David Liebman, former president of the National Association of Document Examiners, and Gideon Epstein, director of the forensics unit of the documents lab at the Immigration and Naturalization Service until he retired in 2000.
"What is your degree of certainty as you sit here today," Ramsey attorney Wood asked Epstein in a deposition last year, "that Patsy Ramsey wrote the note?"
"I am absolutely certain she wrote the note," Epstein replied.
"Is that 60 percent certainty?" Wood asked.
"No, that's 100 percent certainty."
