JonBenet was Pasty's life, she lived vicariously through her. She would have soon cut off her own hands as kill this child.

I doubt Patsy ahd anything to do with the crime. But I also doubt that Patsy did not know who did it. In that sense, she was complicit.

In many respects, Patsy Ramsey is a tragic figure. What would you do if your husband or son did something like this? Would you elect to lose TWO family members, or deal with the situation inside the family and lead the investigators astray? I can't say what I would do, but I am not certain I would have cooperated with the authorities if it meant losing my son or spouse in addition to my daughter.

In fact, I might even write a note to throw the authorities off track....

I agree.

My take on the parents 'looking guilty' is that they suspected some pedophile creep had killed the girl, and had inward guilt about the beauty pageant routine for attracting the killer. (Quite frankly, though it is not good to speak ill of the dead, Mrs. Ramsey tarted up her little girl--the photos of her seem calculated to create pedophiliac feelings even in those without any such real inclination.)
