One investigator addressed the lack of footprints that night. I forget his name but he's on one of the shows about the case on A & E or the History channel.
What you interpret as lack of cooperation from the Ramseys might be their lawyer's advice so that they wouldn't be railroaded into jail. Come on, we all know or have heard about or seen on court cases shown on TV, corrupt or incompetent police, FBI, and forensic scientists.
It was my understanding that they couldn't prove the note was written by Patsy but they couldn't count it out although they could count out John Ramsey as having written it.
Unless this investigator used common sense (The lack of footprints and the ransom note being in Patsy's handwriting means the story of there being an outside intruder is false), anything he said means absolute squat to those capable of rational thought.

What baloney. If you are accused of something you did not do, you do whatever it takes to prove you are innocent. You don't promptly leave the state and then demand any and all questions investigators may ask be posed in advance, in writing. That might work in a parallel world, but we are not living on one and neither are they.

Another load of nonsense. An independent handwriting expert concluded the writing on the note almost definitively matched Patsy's. I cannot believe you did not hear about this. I am sure you know how to read a newspaper.
