Famous author Ann Rule recently chimed in on the JBR case on her webblog. She sort of goes through a number of different theories and probably doesn't know the details of this case as well as many here do, but it's a somewhat interesting read, nonetheless. It can be found here...

I was just re-reading some passages from JD's book, "The Anatomy of a Motive," and I came across some interesting things in a story about a phony kidnapping. Here are some excerpts below followed by my comments. I don't understand how JD is so convinced of the Ramsey's innocence when all of...

From the Ramsey press conference following their "passing" of a polygraph (8/29/2000): :waitasec:

I haven't seen this posted here before, but I think it is a very good and non-biased analysis of the ransom note. This guy has been in federal law enforcement for 22 years, including work with the secret service as well as the US Marshal's office, and he has written a book on "Statement...

Has anyone ever considered why this crime occurred on Christmas night? It must have some significance. Here's what I thought of to start... 1 - It is a stressful time of year. Sometimes people have a short fuse around Christmas. 2 - For those who do not have stable relationships with...

There has been a lot of discussion about the broken window in the basement, particularly surrounding why JR didn't tell police about it when he saw it earlier in the morning. While I, personally, find that strange, I just recently thought of a scenario to explain that behavior. They are both...

Various threads on this board have begun to turn towards discussion of the DNA, so I thought I would start out a thread devoted to that topic. I think it is important to note that there are certain things which the DNA tells us, and others that it does not. You can't have your cake and eat it...

Thought this might be of some interest to some people here. It's nothing major, and it's nothing new, but I think the people here enjoy any tidbits they can get their hands on... FOX News Network On the Record with Greta Van Susteren May 10, 2005 Guests: Paul Ciolino and Mark Fuhrman...

To anyone who has not read the FULL opinion by Judge Carnes in the Wolf v. Ramsey case, I recommend it. I know many disagree with some of the conclusions and feel that the evidence was incomplete that was shown in that case, it does offer a few tidbits that I was unaware of. I don't know where...

I know that there is already a thread devoted to last night's CourtTV special, but I would like to start a new one to address all the flaws that I picked up in the program. If Tricia or any of the other mods wants to merge it with the other one, so be it, but I thought the critique of the...

I already wrote about this on another thread, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own, and perhaps, if there are any lawyers amongst us, they may want to chime in here. A theory has been offered on this board that the fact that the Grand Jury did not indict anyone may imply that the GJ...

for all of you anti-RDI theorists out there, i was curious as to how you would address a few pieces of undisputed evidence. please don't offer additional evidence, as that is not the purpose of this thread. only address the evidence presented with regards to how it can implicate someone other...

since some folks around here love to waive the Colorado Children's Code around here as implicitly suggesting a grand jury conclusion of burke's guilt, i'd like to introduce some more legal background on the state of colorado with regards to polygraph tests. here is the colorado case which...

i'd like to open a thread to discuss the flashlight. i've seen a lot of discussion about whether the ramseys owned one, whether the one found on the table was the same one, was it the murder weapon, etc... i think it's time we attempted to clear all this up. to start this off, i'd like to...

what is the general opinion of everyone here on the hangup call from the ramsey house just days before the murder? this is an undisputed fact, correct? while it could mean a number of different things, i think that it has the potential to be a very telling clue. the possibilities are endless...

haven't seen much mention of this here, so i was curious if anyone had any thoughts on the similarities between the lindbergh baby kidnapping in the 1930's to the JBR case. i came across a really interesting site about the lindbergh baby, and there was this letter written by a NY attorney to DA...

i know that a bunch of you hear have read some of FBI profiler John Douglas' books. they really are great if you are interested in criminal profiling. i recommend starting with "Mindhunter" since that was the first. i never read the one that specifically addressed this case, but i have read...
