Nearly a decade since her brutal murder in the basement of her parents’ home, the JonBenet Ramsey case was once again thrust into the public eye last week, when authorities arrested John M. Karr for the murder of the six-year-old girl. Since his arrest, Karr has confessed to the murder of Ramsey, although the validity of his confession is being questioned by those investigating the case due to inaccuracies in his testimony.

Local handwriting expert Don Lehew, of Mt. Selman, has obtained several samples of John M. Karr’s handwriting, as well as, a copy of the Ramsey ransom note, and according to his analysis, they are all written by the same person.

the ransom note was written by Patsy (as probably dictated by John). It was the parents' attempt to protect their son.

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.

What do you find implausible?

Your claim to be in law enforcement.

it involves 25 years of crime prevention and numerous criminal investigations.

Being a security guard at the bus station and investigating the graffiti on the bathroom walls doesn't count.

A powerful rebuttal of my scenario and worthy of an upgrade from 4 watts to 7 on a scale of a 100 watt bulb being average.

Your "scenario" contains things you made up. You lied to make your point.

"Rent a cops" do that when they are having delusional episodes.

I bet you even have one of those secret decoder rings.
