Who did you think killed JonBenet?

I wonder if it's possible that an intruder was in that room with JonBenet's body and holding the door shut on the other side. Maybe he was going to wait for John to get back with the ransom money, kill the family and flee with the $118K.....then Patsy called the cops. Oops. Somehow he got out of there w/o being seen. Maybe through that unlocked door (that used to be locked?).

Yet, another theory.

No, it was a windowless basement wine cellar. It was probably locked.

There's no way for someone to be able to walk out/flee unnoticed with the house crawling with cops.

You're also forgetting that she was killed Christmas day. Banks aren't open and it's not as though people wouldn't have noticed the Ramseys withdrawing a huge amount of cash like that.

Plus even if this was some plot conceived by the family acquaintances--how the heck would they have known the exact amount of the father's bonus. As shady as the family is/was, I really can't imagine any of them bragging at local Christmas parties the exact amount of a bonus.

I thought at one point the cops had left leaving Patsy, John and Burke alone with one female detective. One of their male friends arrived at the house and the detective told John to walk around the house and see if anything looked out of place. John went with his friend down to the basement where John found JonBenet in the wine cellar and I think I remember reading somewhere that the friend actually looked in that wine cellar first but didn't notice JonBenet laying there (so odd???), John is the one who saw her in there.

I guess the question is, would it have been possible for an intruder to be downstairs hiding in that wine cellar and holding the door shut on the other side so that it appeared jammed during the police search. And then once the police left and the detective was alone with Patsy, John and Burke would there have been time for the intruder to sneak back up the stairs and go out through the kitchen (chef pantry?) door before John and his friend went downstairs to look around?

She was murdered either late Christmas night or very early December 26th. Aren't banks open the day after Christmas??

Yes, this is how she was found. Very odd. And I do believe there was a basement window. Not in the wine cellar, but in the basement. And some TV special on the subject several years ago said that there was a footprint or somethings g outside of that window. This tv show was focusing on some neighbor who was a known pedophile or something.

But it doesn't sound like the crime of a pedophile. The sexual assault appeared to be staged to make JonBenet's death LOOK like it was committed by a pedophile.

Why weren't the family distraught when they called the police that morning and when the police arrived? Was it shock? That part throws me. It's the day after Christmas and your daughter is missing -- you would be searching running room to room checking outside and inside right? Calling your friends to see if she got outside and walked to their houses. Maybe took her bike for a ride. Unless you knew all along where she was which is sad -- I don't think it was intentional but I think maybe she hit her head as Patsy was changing the sheets or her clothes after the bed wetting.

I don't think the assault was staged. The ransom note was staged. The assault could have been done by a man in his 60's who had a history of heart disease. The assault was very violent but with a paintbrush. These were before the days of Viagra. The McReynolds tried to interject themselves into the Ramsey household. Patsy was not even going to have her big party that year but Santa talked her into it because he thought he was going to be filmed. They knew the Ramsey household because JB had given him a personal tour of the entire house at the party on 12/23.

Google- McReynolds letter Daily Camera. The McReynolds wrote a letter to the Daily Camera in 1998 saying what a great detective Steve Thomas was and how his own family had been under "scrutinity" if you read the ransom note you will see the letter is similar. Many commas, similar words. He praised Steve Thonas because he really did a horrible job by only focusing on the Tamseys. That is what the McReynolds probably wanted. The ransom note could have been written by one of the McReynolds.

Janet McReynolds published a poem in 2015. Here is part of it:

"My heart holds a passion
bereft of its cause
It is a demented prisoner unaware
that the jail door is unlocked

It is a carton of milk
past its expiration date
It is an unmailed letter
to one who had died. "

They were distraught on the 911 call.

I'm having a hard time picturing an older guy with heart disease lifting up an outdoor window grate and squeezing into the house through that little window in the basement. I'm also having a hard time buying that a guy with a bad heart was spending 45 minutes to 2 full hours sexually assaulting JonBenet before strangling her - in her own home with her parents and brother sleeping upstairs. In fact, I thought I read somewhere that the sexual abuse may have happened after her skull was cracked and after she had already been strangled....

This guy knew that the Ramseys were going on a trip the next day. How would he know what time Patsy was going to get up to pack and get ready or how late she would stay up packing? Weren't the suitcases downstairs? What if John or Patsy had opted to go downstairs to get one? And then to think that Mrs. McReynolds was somehow involved in this too? That really seems unlikely.

Didn't her husband die?

If you found a ransom note you wouldn't. You'd assume she had been kidnapped and taken elsewhere to be held for ransom. I know I wouldn't think it was a hoax and that my kid just went on a bike ride. I'd believe the note and assume that she was somewhere far away, hopefully alive.

I think it was the Santa. I read a book a while back and I can't remember the name, and that was the theory and the only one that makes sense to me now. Back when it happened, I thought the parents or the son must have been involved, but now I think I just felt that way because of what was reported in the media, and how it was reported. The first detectives on the scene botched the heck out of the investigation. That poor child.

Agree that it could have been done by a person who lacks a penis. I.e., Patsy.
