I hear ya but I just don't see the motivation for the Ramseys to do it. They didn't need the money and surely they would not get the glamor from offering their child to pedophiles the way they would showing off their daughter in beauty pageants, even if you think the whole concept of beauty pageants for five and six year olds is perverse.
Patsy was a beauty queen herself in her day. I can she why she would have thought there was nothing wrong with guiding JBR down the same path. Putting her around a bunch of dirty pervs, though, would be a whole different story.
You are right, though, that most everyone who wants to believe Karr did it have an underlying belief that the Ramseys are innocent victims. I have nothing against them personally but I think the media had every right to be suspicious of them because of the way they responded to the tragedy of losing their daughter. Hiring lawyers and PR fiems while playing keep-away from the cops is not how I'd expect parents to react if they really believed a stranger murdered their daughter. They'd be all over the cops and the media demanding justice, not playing defense.
By the way, you point up something else. All the MSM outlets refer to this girl as a "beauty queen". I prefer the term "exploited child". If the Ramseys had nothing to do with it directly, then they put their kid up there as a sex object for perverts to drool over. Haven't you see the video clip with her in the cowgirl outfit, shaking her tucus like a two-bit street whore? Mamma taught her that move, I'm sure. Why the surprise when some sleazoid rose to the bait?
Right. cf. Mr. Klaas and Mr. Lunsford.
The Ramseys and Aisenbergs handled it quite differently.
The Klaas and Lunsford cases have been solved. The others.....have not.
