NO! This was a str8 up sexual homicide and the cops BLEW IT big time. You need to read the autopsy report. Semen that did not match the father or the brother was found in her underwear. She died from being garroted with a garot made from paint brushes and rope there in the basement. The fracture to her skull was done post mortem, probably with a pry bar the killer used to pry open the basement window. HE wrote the ransom note because the tablet was there and he was trying to buy time with it. Didnt work. HE was a worker who had been in the house as part of a paint crew in the recent past, that's how he knew about the brushes and the hidden wash up room in the basement. HE probably overheard Patsy talking on the phone one day about her husbands bonus, happens all the time, and that's how the 118k got in the ransom note, again a ploy to throw the cops off, it worked. This was a brutal, sadistic homicide. Patsy did not kill her because she wet the bed. That is ridiculous! This was an extremely sick person who has a lengthy criminal and mental history. It was not any of the Ramseys. Try reading John Douglas' books.
Would you provide a link to the autopsy report so I can read this thing myself?
" ... Semen that did not match the father or the brother was found in her underwear. ..."
No semen was found.
" ... The fracture to her skull was done post mortem, probably with a pry bar the killer used to pry open the basement window. ..."
Not post mortem - there was bleeding. The instrument used for the skull fracture has never been identified. No windows were pried open and no crowbar was in evidence.
" ... HE was a worker who had been in the house as part of a paint crew in the recent past, that's how he knew about the brushes and the hidden wash up room in the basement.

All of the people used for construction were questioned and no one was found to need follow-up. Painters in the house didn't need Patsy's little art brushes in her art tote - no reason they would know where that small brush was. Patsy did not know the amount of John's bonus -- John didn't even know -- and she would not have been discussing it on the phone with anyone, not even Nedra, who would probably have known before Patsy what the value of the stock option bonus was, lol.
Love John douglas' books!!!
