Two days into the JonBenet Ramsey/John Karr media deluge, a mid-fortyish male in line next to me at a food shop groaned at the day's newspaper headlines. "Now," muttered this stranger--though he wore a baseball cap with bill turned backward, which suggested a few things about him one could know right off--"now we're not going to hear about anything but this damned story for the next six weeks."
I sympathized, forbearing to tell him that it would have plenty of competition, what with the networks set to embark on round-the-clock wallowing in the Katrina anniversary.

It would also explain something seldom talked about in relation to the Ramsey case, but which is extremely important. All the experts in criminal behavior say that people (almost always male) who kill due to psychopathic sexual reasons, never stop at one killing. They tend to kill serially, working up to more and more frenzied perversions during their killings until they are stopped. While some details of their methods vary from crime to crime, their fundamental choice of MO does not vary, because such killers tend to be ritualistic. It's a pattern seen over and over again with such killers going back to history's first recognized sexual serial killer, Jack the Ripper in 1888.
Whoever killed JonBenet either was a sexual psychopath, or someone who wanted to make the murder look like it was committed by a sexual psychopath. Given that no other murder has occurred before or since which bears the same MO as the JBR case, I think it's safe to say the second alternative is the most likely. The sexual psychopath aspects of her murder were, in all likelihood, staged.
It was only mental gesticulation......
Contributing to this belief is the fact that the Ramseys lied about Burke being awake and in the kitchen where the phone call was made to the police.
Why would they do this, except to preclude Burke being questioned ?
"Hit someone with a stun-gun and they scream bloody murder. Silence is not a response that I have ever observed after hitting someone with a stun-gun or taser device." And do you routinely stun people who are sound asleep?
No. And neither would someone who was concerned with the subject making noise. The stun gun would wake the victim and the victim would definately make a bunch of noise then. Stun guns do not render the target unconsious nor do they render the target mute.
Gee, in a world of lawsuits, a tazer company's own experts deny their product was used in the murder of a little girl. Imagine that! The Denver pathologist who looked at the marks for the Boulder police said that a stun gun is the most likely cause for the marks. I saw a telivised experiment that was done comparing the marks on her autopsy photos to stun gun marks made a pig -- looked pretty darn conclusive to me.
OK, so even if we are to assume an intruder wouldn't use a stun gun to pull her from her bed for fear she would scream (and I don't know because I've never used a stun gun on a sleeping girl), why would her mom use a stun gun on her? Just to torture her?
Maybe she sleeps in the nude (I do) and grabbed the first thing she saw on the floor, draped over a chair, etc, when she woke up, since she was just starting the coffee....
"Or perhaps more to the point - would a 9yo have the smarts to fashion a garrote & use it"
The text of the ransom note resembles the mind of a young boy after watching a video of a movie I saw recently. It was an older movie and the criminals were a cop and the housekeeper.
This part of the ransom note ;
"Don't try to grow a brain John. You are not the only fat cat around so don't think that killing will be difficult. Don't underestimate us, John. Use that good, Southern common sense of yours. It's up to you now John! "
Sounds just like it came from the movie. Especially the FIRST SENTENCE.
The reference to 'use that good, Southern common sense of yours', is something a young boy might hear his father brag about.
Since Mr. Ramsey was away on business, even out of the country, and Mrs. Ramsey spent all her time and money with Jon Benet, the young boy had nothing to do BUT WATCH VIDEOS, and build up an intense hatred for his sister, who was STEALING his parents TIME,LOVE, and ATTENTION.
Using MOMMY'S paintbrush to sexually assault Jon Benet was a real big indicator, in that the young boy was trying to express to his mom his anger at her for ignoring him, his wants, his needs, by using one of her favorite items to 'hurt' Jon Benet.
Everything about the ransom note reeks of a juvenile boy imitating the scripts from movies, and the incorrect spelling supports that idea.
I think the reference to a 'small foreign nation' could have been the young boys way of referring to Thailand and things he found that his dad brought back from there.
Lou Smit decided after 72 hours on the case that the Ramseys were persecuted.....because he prayed with them.
I don't have a clue why Patsy lied. She or Burke fed JB pineapple. Unless, we're to believe that a pedo kidnapper killer intruder fed her......
You've been hanging around Jamesons too long. By the way, she's already named a "new" suspect, today. :-)
"I think lots of southerners use that phrase."
However, this happened in Colorado, not exactly a bastion of the South.
I'm not saying she did. I don't believe the marks found on JonBenet were the result of a hit by a stun-gun at all. I would tend to believe that they were made by the scaps on her pajamas as put forth by the forensics lab.
I've never heard that phrase in my life before Patsy used it in the fake ransom note, so I think lots of Southerners do NOT use that phrase.
Your bias for the Ramseys is causing you to veer completely out of the realm of common sense!
IIRC...that phrase was a joke that was used for JR by Patsy and her southern friends....JR is not from the south.
BPD actually looked at over 100 people.....John and Patsy suppled lists of names....all were checked out. It's an urban myth that "nobody but the Ramseys " were investigated.
Do you think it might be possible that Jonbenet fed herself pineapple? That maybe Patsy didn't?
Oh wait, she was only six....
I have no idea who the Jamesons are.
