You know I have looked an analysis of the ransom note and I can see how and why people think the Ramsey's were involved in the murder of their daughter, but I can't get passed seeing them actually doing the crime itself. For them to sit there and sexually assault their daughter, strangle her, hit her in the head like that I just can't see it being so.

Of course I couldn't see Susan Smith drowning her 2 kids like she did either but that is another issue.

I still don't think the Ramsey's did this crime and I hope that this guy actually did this crime. But how I just don't know and maybe we will find out in days to come if he did and just how.

I don't know that it was this guy. DNA will clear that up, but I don't think it was the Ramsey's.

I cannot imagine tying a cord around my child's neck, and twisting a Garrott while watching my child claw at the rope trying to loosen it. She had tiny little fingernail marks on her neck from trying to get it off. I don't see someone just deciding to do this one day. It would take a sick sick mind.

If you think about it, Smith drowned her children in a remote fashion—they were peacefully sleeping when she left them. On the other hand, what they are accusing the Ramsey's of was VERY personal and intimate. It would involve a sickness on the level of a parent such as Yates who had lost touch with reality or had a history of other disorders and psychological problems. The Ramseys just don't fit that profile.

There is a profound difference in these cases. A murder such as Jon Benet's does not just happen. There is SO much more to this whether Karr was involved or not.
