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.

I agree. I never thought the Ramsey's had anything to do with the murder of their daughter no matter how suspicious the ransom note was. They just don't fit the type.

I agree with you. when I learned exactly how she died, I was convinced it wasn't Patsy. I know that some parents do horrific things to their kids, but something like this doesn't just happen out of the blue. Furthermore, they had a son. If I did something like this to one of my children, my husband would be afraid for our other children. there is no way he would help cover it up.

I think that many people are not aware that the killer tied a rope around her neck, inserted a garrot, and then began twisting it. That person was next to her twisting this thing, and watching her claw at it with her little fingers. It takes several minutes to die that way.
