That girl was paraded around stages nationwide with an inch of makeup on her and thousands in fake diamonds on her.A five year old girl dressed up like a high class hooker.I'd wager every nickel I have that someone was molesting that girl and,in order to prevent her from saying anything,he killed her.
Geeze...I've gotta stop watching The Crime Channel!
Detective Steve Thomas’s book convinced me that someone in the family did it or knew who did it, and that Patsy wrote that ransom note.
Some people at work probably knew the figure, too. . . and maybe some other friends and family if it was mentioned. Not just the household.
I really doubt the 9 year old affixed his mind to that particular amount of money.
