I saw that on MSNBC, too! There was a photo of it; it was a Santa Bear. He had also sent a photo of it to Michael Tracy, the Bouldre professor/journalist/documentary filmmaker.
There was a teddy bear that was found in the house that the Ramseys said was NOT JonBenet's or Burkes. This was another one of those weird things in the case.
IF IF IF this is the perp, then that ridiculous, rambling 2 1/2 page ransom note makes more sense. The guy is loony. Also, I remember reading in one of the many reports about this case that the stub for John Ramsey's bonus was just laying out on a desk, so if a perp was there, he could have easily have seen that. Also it was not exactly $118,000, but "around" that amount. I had not heard that before I had read that. So the perp did NOT have to have access to the Ramsey's financial info. It was sitting there
in the house.
Creepy stuff indeed. If memory serves, wasn't Jonbenet found with her favorite Barbie nightgown beside her? I remember hearing, or reading that. It's been a long time. She wasn't wearing it. She had other pajamas on, but it was with her. It makes you wonder if the perp sneaked into her room on other occasions and watched her. More speculations, but it does seem like there was some stalking going on. The killer might have snooped about the house for quite a bit fantasizing about this "relationship" he had with Jonbenet. You're right, that slip wouldn't have been hard to find. I wonder if the perp wrote the note first with the intention of kidnapping her and using the money to live on? Then his sicko impulses got in the way and he killed her instead.
