WILL PATSY RAMSEY REST IN PEACE?

(sigh)

Patsy Ramsey died several days ago. Whether she was innocent or guilty of the death of her daughter, Jon Benet, remains to be seen. Either way, tormented she must have been. This case so fascinated me in 1996 when Jon Benet's tiny body was found that I followed it closely for years. It always struck me as odd that there were inconsistencies in the information surrounding the son, Burke, that were never explained, and it seemed logical that if he had in any way been involved that the parents would do everything they could to cover it up. After all, they had just lost their daughter -- could they bear to lose a son to the justice system? Even though he was a minor, his life would have forever been a shambles.

As I re-think it today I doubt if ANY of the Ramseys had anything whatsoever to do with Jon Benet's death -- that it was, in fact, a malicious homicide by an intruder. I personally know three people who worked the forensics and profiling aspects of the case and who had direct contact with the Ramseys and the Boulder Police Department. I won't elaborate on their take on case specifics, but all three agree that the Boulder PD made so many errors that the case was heavily compromised from the first hours. Suffice it to say that this will forever be one for the books and will be debated for years. And I doubt if we'll EVER really know who killed Jon Benet.

Saw your space today for the first time in a couple of months. Moved and did not have access to a computer... Not an everyday reader, anyway. Scrolled back several postings and saw the one about your current relationship... interesting, but I wish you well! I leave you with this - Hillary gets my vote in 08.

Adios ( you better learn the language quickly)
