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.

Whoever did that to that little girl was one sick twisted freak!

I also think people don't realize just how large, disconnected and public this house was/is.

A lot can go on in a house like that.

and if you were the killer, an intruder, wouldn't you have taken that rope and the paintbrush with you when you left the house? why leave it behind as evidence, when all you had to do was slip it in your pocket.
