for four years and we looked intensively at this crime.

Forum members in NY/NJ/CT even got together about once every three months.

The parent(s) did it: that would be the belief among most forum members.

John Ramsey is a disinformation expert and continued playing that game on after Patsy's death. He started with the disinformation and messing up the crime scene immediately so that the crime would never be solved.

on another topic, I've been watching episodes of "Real Detective." The common thread seems to be detectives who were very dedicated, even to the point of emotional involvement, in solving a crime. Two seasons. Really enjoy this series.

In Louisiana who ran one of those junior pagaents, and she knew Patsy and JonBenet. She told me that Patsy was obsessed, to put it kindly, but that, in her opinion, JonBonet would never be a top tier contestant.

snow. The alarm turned off. The draft ransom note. The small room where her father "found " her body, after having failed to disclose the existence of the room to the police. Wrapping her body in a blanket and bringing her out to the police, thus destroying evidence. The small window in that room undisturbed.

The Boulder police were not experienced homicide investigators, but did not call in experienced help. The parents refused to be interviewed by the police.

The brother went on television some time ago, and, from reports I heard, practically dmitted that he had done it.
