"Linda Arndt knew as soon as John brought JonBenet's body upstairs that the Ramsey's were guilty."
Why should they secure the crime scene, hire a profiler, and investigate other possibilities with any vigilance. The minute this case went from kidnapping to murder they knew who was guilty. Why, because of the way JR was holding JonBenet. Doesn't that say it all?
Ironic, isn't it.
Linda Arndt thought immediately that John Ramsey must have done it. I guess her "gut" told her that.
But for years, the villain in this piece has not been John Ramsey, per se`, but Patsy.
Oh I know, some definitely imply a broad family conspiracy to cover up, but MOST I've seen make Burke the Perp with Patsy as cover, or Patsy as both perp and cover. The most I've seen implied on John is that he would have assisted in covering for Burke and / or Patsy.
But....but....Linda Arndt just KNEW John was guilty of the deed when she saw him bring JonBenet's body up from the basement. I guess she assumed that must mean that John knew she was down there dead, all the time. But it wasn't a coverup she stated her "gut" told her he did...rather, she felt he actually was the perpetrator.
I think she thought Patsy wrote the note to cover for John, whom she must have thought was an abuser of his own child and ended up killing her.
Funny, you just don't hear much along those lines anymore.
Chalk another one up for the Boulder police department.
And again I say, too bad Lou Smit wasn't on scene instead of Linda Arndt.
It sure does. I heard this police officer a while back talking about this. She had NO evidence....just a "feeling".
