[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found Burke's demeanor unnerving but difficult to interpret. As Dr. Phil (not that he's a great source, but whatever) noted, he's basically been in hiding since he was 9 years old. On top of that, I believe he already had some developmental or social disorders before that. It's hard to tell what's going on there. I actually thought the interrogation tapes that have been released so far were pretty revealing and that his demeanor was much more normal in those. After watching those, it made me kind of sad to think about the turn his life took. I don't believe a 9 year likely carried out any aspect of this crime, although I realize some do. I think he's another victim of that night and he will never have anything resembling a normal life.

I agree. I think the video of his police interview was very telling. You could see that he was desperately trying to put all the pieces together.

To others asking, the Dateline episode - like most of the other information I've watched or read - clearly puts the blame on the parents. In addition to the missed ransom call (I had totally forgotton about that!), the pineapple, the length of time between the first blow and the strangulation, the ransom note, the lack of non-familial DNA, the parents lack of cooperation, etc. were highlighted.

One of the other interesting parts of the Dateline show was seeing Patsy interviewed on CNN and other news shows after. She was clearly very strung out on something. They also reiterated that Santa and his wife were investigated thoroughly and not considered suspects. One of the reasons being was that Santa had just had open heart surgery and could not have physically endured the attack, climbing up three flights of stairs and other acrobatics getting in to the house from the outside without leaving a footprint.

As for the ransom note - it was so long! Plus, it included the amount of John Ramsey's bonus. Not many people knew that information.[/quote]

I didn't see the Dateline show yet but have been seeing different evidence than what you mention above. I have heard that there was non-familiial DNA found in JB's underwear and on her pants, and in other parts of the basement that are from the same person but do not match anyone in the family. I also heard a number of forensic experts say the blow to JB's head mostly likely came after the strangulation. Additionally, the police lied about snow being around the back of the house when it wasn't and they lied that John left somewhere the morning of the 26th. Why would they do that? Perhaps they lied about other things too.

I do not think anyone should place much credibility on people acting 'weird' after the murder of their child. I don't think anyone knows what is the right way to act unless you've been in that situation. Their behavior is a small factor but DNA and other physical evidence should have much stronger bearing than the Ramseys acting abnormal. Or putting any weight on the notion that Patsy seemed strung out in interviews. Of course she probably was! Who wouldn't take a valium after something that traumatic? Also, how would Patsy be in a state of mind to sit down and write a lengthy 3 page letter after just accidentally killing her child and then staging an elaborate cover-up? And if you did accidentally just kill your child, why on earth would you choose to use a barbaric garrote as part of the staging? Surely, they could've used something less heinous. And they could've skipped the sexual assault staging altogether. I just don't see them desecrating the body of their child like that after they accidentally hit her on the head. Doesn't make sense.
