I recall reading a "Christmas" newsletter of the Ramsey's, before JonBenet's death. In the newsletter, Patsy made a point of saying that Burke was becoming an expert boatsman. The Ramsey's owned a boat and the father had been teaching Burke how to sail, etc.
Sounds like a Burke may have known how to make such a knot.
I've said before that I fell into the category of people who suspected Burke accidentally killed his sister, out of panic and fear, that he'd get into trouble if the parents discovered what he was doing to JonBenet. Further, I always felt that the "scream" heard about midnight by neighbors was actually Patsy, when she discovered her daughter's body in the basement.
Further, I've always thought that the ransom note was written by Patsy (as probably dictated by John). It was the parents' attempt to protect their son.
Of course, if there is DNA evidence proving Karr to be the killer, I would be delighted to say I was wrong in my judgement of the case.
Changing the subject, I've read that John Ramsey is contemplating leaving the Country, as this new media craze is pumping up about the case. Does anyone know if John Ramsey is planning to take Burke out of the country with him?
Just asking.
I don't know. He didn't say that, but it was during his trip to take Burke to Purdue U that he said it.
His other grandchildren are here, so I don't know what he's thinking - he was mostly PO'ed that he couldn't get Burke to college without papparazzi disrupting everything. He loves them when he wants to explain to the world about JonBenet's death and when he wants to run for office, but they're supposed to ignore him the rest of the time.
For someone who may have just found out his daughter's killer, he doesn't seem too interested in the news - and doesn't really seem to think it's the right one.
The problem with that scenario, in my mind, are the numerous references to kidnap movies. Whoever did this was fixated on kidnap movies. Burke even tho nine could be that person.
