Exactly...but actually, CT Mom, I was responding to someone who thought that John Ramsey picking her up in his arms, plus removing the tape on her mouth, then carrying her upstairs, was done to contaminate the scene so the Ramseys would escape justice.
Their point was to say that if a parent does that upon finding their murdered child in their own home, it looks like they touch them in order to beat a murder rap.
You said you wouldn't think, oh, I better not touch her or the police will think I did it. It's the opposite to what I was responding to.
And I said I can't imagine a parent who would make sure NOT to touch their child so the police could process the scene correctly. Can't see John R. calling up the basement stairs, hey, here's my daughter, dead, now come down here and do your detective work.
The first impulse would be to get her out of that hell hole where she had been so horribly mistreated and killed. Get that awful stuff off of her body that the creep had left there. Then lay her down on a nice sofa, cradled in your arms, and try to revive her and failing that, sobbing your heart out.
I found out something interesting. The Ramseys hosted a party three nights before the murder at their house. The night of the murder they were at the Whites.
