eh, she knew so much that she allowed John and his buddy to search the house unaccompanied looking for anything that might be out of place. She says one thing but did another...I don't much care for that. |
That's laughable. The cops tried to make an intruder theory work. Even at one point pretending it was that creepy pervert they flew in from Thailand. If they could make the intruder theory work, they would have. |
The cops were like a dog with a bone. They jumped on the idea it was the Ramseys and never let go. To them the Ramseys were alien. Boulder was a very small hippie city with an inexperienced police force. Also egos got in the way. Steve Thomas would never admit he was wrong. I know many people like that. |
That was a different time and different people in charge. |
Yes, MUCH smaller scale. That is true. But a woman cooking a special Christmas breakfast for her two kids and husband is going to go through the same sort of meal planning/prep as any other woman with 2 kids and a husband. Not sure why you think that it is sooo much more complicated for rich ladies. |
I did a google search about the pineapple and found this link:
http://jonbenetramsey.pbworks.com/w/page/11682517/The%20Pineapple%20Evidence I found something disturbing in the link: "Patsy Ramsey gave Oscar-quality performances during police interviews about the murder, if you believe forensic psychiatrist Dr. Steven E. Pitt, a former consultant for the Boulder police and DA's office who scrutinized the videotaped interviews. Pitt reveals that one particular exchange 'practically made me jump out of my seat. It's the part when Patsy denied any knowledge of how pineapple got into the child's digestive tract after the family arrived home from a party. She snarled that she had put the girl right to bed and had not served her any fruit. But there was a spoon and bowl of fresh pineapple in the breakfast nook and the bowl had Patsy's fingerprints on it. Academy awards have been given for lesser performances. She was a very attractive woman, almost seductive. She knew how to work it'" WTH does her being attractive have to do with anything? Smacks to me of bias. |
When was this special Xmas breakfast supposed to take place? Not the 26th because they were leaving town, right? |
And "Oscar-quality performances"? Sensational. |
It is different. I am wealthy, I grew up middle class. When I throw a party, I can easily spend $1500 -2000 on food plus more for drinks. I have three fridges. Things are chaotic and busy, I buy tons of food so I have enough with plenty of leftovers ( whether they rot or not while gone on vacation). My fridges are full, so full I can't fit anything else in and sometimes I can't even find what I need. I wouldn't remember if I bought one inconsequential (at the time) item. It's different when you have a 1200 sq foot home and are on a $300/ month grocery budget. |
Wasn't she back in Dateline defending herself and the police department. She still would not admit how much she messed up. It was easier for them to blame the Ramseys than to make up for their mistakes. They said they investigated Santa but cleared him because he had prior heart surgery the summer before, was home asleep in bed, he admitted to adult bookstores but denied kiddie porn, and the disguised writing on the note did not match his. They also said they found none of his hair at the crime scene. I found that odd because he had been at the Ramsey house two days prior in his Santa suit at the Christmas party. So they went back to Patsy and said it must be her because she wore the same sweater twice. |
If Patsy was guilty, what would the significance of wearing the same outfit be? She was up all night staging the scene so she never changed? Seems to me that a killer would try to get out of the clothes they did the deed in. A midnight load of laundry would be more suspicious than rewearing clothes, would it not? |
The outfit and the makeup wouldn't matter as much as undergarments. If you had not changed from the day before, you'd have the same ones on and there is no lying about clean vs. worn undergarments. A creepy tidbit but for those of us who have worn the same thing twice, there's a difference.
Was it the A&E special or Dateline that had the friend of Patsy's that noted she had the same outfit on? She remembered that one tidbit because it was out of the norm. Also, the photos showed their bed as being made. Next question would be did they sleep in it at all? Or which parent made the bed that morning. Burke mentioned it being dark out on Dr. Phil when his mom came in his room initially. Would it have been dark in Colorado in the December mornings -- Google says Patsy woke shortly before 6am. Let's say she brushed her teeth and used the restroom, put on her clothes that may be 6:30-6:45. Walks down the stairs, 6:50 sees the note. Searches Burke's room after running back to JB's 7am or so. Would it be dark? |
All I read wa stat they had a pancake breakfast, I didn't see that it was made out to be this huge deal special breakfast. |
Almost certainly it would be dark. You're talking about December 25, the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. And I agree about the underwear, yes I'd change that too obvs. But did the cops check the hamper/do they know anything about the underwear.... |
John said that Christmas morning while the kids played he and Patsy went into the kitchen to make breakfast. He made pancakes and she made bacon and hash browns.
Santa Bill called Patsy on the 20th and wanted her to have her annual Christmas party on the 23rd. She had them years prior but was not planning to this year. But Santa Bill persisted telling her that Charles Kurault was going to be in town filming 'On the Road' and filming him as Santa. He wanted to be filmed at the Ramsey house. Patsy said ok and thew together a last minute party with the help of her housekeeper and neighbors. Santa showed up but Charles Kurault did not. No one mentioned pineapple. |
