It was a “small foreign faction”. And everyone knows that inside the house you kill the kid, on Christmas when everyone in the world is home. Then you hide the body in the basement. Then you sit down and write a long, detailed nutty note asking for ransom in the exact amount of the man’s recent bonus.
And when your young daughter is found murdered, you leave town as quickly as you can.
It’s pretty obvious to me that either the psycho mom did it on some accidental rage of some kind, OR the creeper brother did it and mom and dad decided they lost one kid, they were rich, and they would just cover it up so they didn’t lose both.
Had it happened anywhere but Boulder, their story would have been shredded.
I disagree. It was bungled by Boulder police. And I mean badly.

I’m willing to suspend disbelieve on a lot of things, but this aspect of the case has always bothered me. They were well off - why not write a note asking for a million or some other round figure? Why ask for the exact amount of his bonus???
The Boulder police really messed this one up. Even a 5th grader would question the ransom note.
Definitely. That note was beyond the ability of any logic to suspend disbelief. The family did it, probably the mom.
it was probably an accident....by brother....covered up because it was horrible and they didn't want to loose another kid....
Patsy I think took the brunt of the public rage but that daddy was sure quiet and unemotional....
there was talk of some kind of chronic abuse patterns youknowhere......
also many people do not know but there was a previous 911 call the night before IIRC....I think the family claimed it was accidentally made........
I do remember that on the night of the murder the brother could be heard in the background, despite the family stating he was asleep.....
the ramseys hired their own lawyer for the sole purpose of suing people if they made any public speculation or accustions against the family....
this is how the filthy rich get away with it.
[ “a small foreign faction”. ]
That always bothered me too. In reality, a small foreign faction would never write “a small foreign faction”.
