Perhaps he has "issues" that have nothing to do with this case, but everything to do with other aspects of his family life. Perhaps he is in fear of those issues seeing the light of day (or at least the light of his family). It is tempting to jump in and accuse, but I always believed in the innocence of the Ramseys (not too many of us out there) and I will give him the same presumption of innocence until more evidence comes to light.

FLASH!!! Nancy Grace hosting Larry King Show right now and interviewing Henry Lee who says that the screen door in the Smart house was cut from the INSIDE, possibly as a way to make it APPEAR to be a break-in. This case is getting curiouser and curiouser. And apparently the perp didn't know that there are ways to tell if a screen door cut was made from the inside or outside.

Yes, I think that's a very real possibility. When all the related families are being investigated, it's quite likely that some of them have unrelated personal matters that they'd prefer not to have come to light. This would be especially true for an active, respected Mormon family in Salt Lake City -- Mormon standards are very high, and personal and family reputations are very important to people. As long as they were sure that withholding the information in question couldn't hamper the search for Elizabeth, they might well go through some contortions to keep it under wraps.

I'm the other person in the USA who doesn't think John or Patsy killed JonBenet, but it took awhile for me to get clear on that. Very easy to believe them guilty.

And same thing in this case. Very easy for all of us here to say, "there's something fishy," which there is, and jump to conclusion that Elizabeth's father or uncle might be the perp. However, the Ramseys often made sense and these people are all over the place with their stories. I cannot let them off the hook just yet.

Yes, the polygraph exams probably dug into life style issues (there's that word again) to try to determine any predisposition toward a crime of this type. Those examined undoubtedly felt their privacy had been invaded but, under the circumstances, had no choice but to submit.
