JonBenet Ramsey

I did not see a thread here for this case, but it seems relevant given the Colorado connection. I've also read some of the media rush to Columbine was because they felt it had something to do with JonBenet. If that's true, as powerful an indictment of the media as ever.

Also, there is one passage where Eric writes about who he thinks was the perp. I guess it takes one to know one. I think he got it right. The best information on the case in my opinion can be found here:

The short version:

1) There was no intruder.

1.1) No footprints in the snow. No forced entry. No disturbance of the window grate, window sill, or even the spider webs on the small broken window. No intruder would risk it. No intruder would ask for only $118,000. No intruder would write a ransom note in the house instead of bring it with him. No intruder would write such a long ransom note. No intruder would leave the ransom note but fail to kidnap the child. No account of the ransom note with an 'intruder' makes sense. If the ransom note is taken at face value, it speaks of at least 3 intruders. The guy writing the note, and the two men watching over JonBenet. A "foreign faction", a "group of individuals", so multiply the problems by three. No motive to kill her - in fact the opposite if you are doing a kidnap for ransom. No intruder would want to make sure you are well rested, etc etc

1.2) So, the ransom note seems to be to stage a kidnapping. Nothing else makes any sense.

2) Burke wasn't the perp.

2.1) He was nine. No nine year old wrote that note or struck that blow or tied that knot to strangle her. No scenario of the parents finding Burke has hit their daughter and then strangling her to death and writing a ransom note for no reason instead of just calling 911 and reporting an accident makes sense.

3) Patsy wasn't the perp

3.1) A pageant mom didn't write the note. She called 911 - exactly what the note says not to do, with the body still in the house (and gave the note to police). This is what makes the staging so obvious and the case such a curiosity. Body = no kidnapping.

4) "The Ramseys" working together weren't the perp

4.1) Again, Patsy called 911. No "kill her to save Burke" scenario makes sense.

5) That leaves your perp. John Ramsey did it, alone.

5.1) The note was to stage a kidnapping and scare Patsy into not calling 911, then once left alone to deal with the kidnappers, dump the body on the pretext of delivering the ransom. The note was left for Patsy, yet addresses John, and only John could have withdrawn the money for the ransom. Indeed, the amount of money was his bonus that year. He'd spent time in the Navy where they tie knots, in the Philippines at "Subic Bay Training Center", a 'foreign' land where they kill people with 'garottes'. He was a pilot like Charles Lindbergh who had a similar case.  He also had a billion dollar computer company, and the note may have fooled people by being traced from a computer screen. It also means he had a lot to lose if, say, the evidence of molestation with Jonbenet were traced to him, which is a lot more likely than it being traced to Patsy or Burke. Just as with the murder, it's amazing that the man of the house evades being the first suspect. The man of the house who "found" the body no less.
