...the perception persists that the family never came clean with law enforcement, because they didn't.
John Ramsey spent beaucoup money to hire people simply to come up with anything that would've swayed just one jury member to a "not guilty" vote - and apparently, it worked.
Thank you so much for your post, because I get frustrated seeing people act like this guy's anything but a lying little twerp lustful for notoriety.
If you choose to believe Karr's tale (as I have gleaned it), he wanted to kidnap JB, wrote the ransom note inside the house, and couldn't wait until he was out of the house to molest her. That's moronic! Karr wants us to believe he was a blithering idiot. Well, there have been brilliant criminals and criminals who have escaped justice by pure luck. There are very few criminals that I know of that are BOTH as dumb as a post AND lucky enough to get away with it.
Finally -- as long as John Ramsey keeps acting like a man who is hiding something, I will continue to think of him that way. Now, he says he just might leave America in an indignant huff. Remember the last millionaire suspected of crimes against children who said such a thing? Here's a clue: He went to Bahrain.
regarding the Ramsey's allegedly being involved (either/or/both) - the one question I always had - what was the motive? why did it happen? what happened on christmas night to trigger the event?
Is this SF Smithee? Welcome to the forum.
Most criminals DO get away with it, either through luck or due to laziness and incompetence on the part of law enforcement. It's the reverse of the broken window theory of law enforcement.
Course, that's general personal and property crime mostly. But there are still tons of unsolved murders everywhere.
Murders committed by strangers are harder to solve, because their motivations are often perverse and hard to understand. Unlike the usual greed/lust/rage murders done by people known to their victims.
John Ramsey and Bahrain are a good fit.
