of course he wouldn't handwrite it ,he isn't stupid,that's why he probably (and I say probably cause I am not 100% convinced it was her who wrote it)
somehow tricked her into writing it...
it's very interesting how they suddenly decided to disregard the RN even if one of the best profilers out there told them it was about revenge and they seemed so glad that the killer left a piece of evidence.LS was very helpful.I guess they all realized what a stupid mistake it was (RN)...and tried to redirect attention to "it was a sick puppy".(which again means distance JR from it)....
I was watching a video about a 30years old cold case...it was dead cold,most of the evidence was even thrown away by a stupid officer....and there was this detective from a cold case unit who went through all the archives and documents cause he felt the killer is still out there (the cops suspected the wrong guy for 30 years)...and based on contradicting statements and timelines he managed to re-open the case....he went and interviewed (PUSHED
) the real killer and he didn't deny it....amazing....all it takes is a bit of effort if you really wanna do it!
I really hope one day someone out there does it for JB
And I say, IF, also
madeleine. I can allow for JR writing the note, because it was his own hired handwriting expert that excluded him from writing it. Everyone says the note was written in an 'attempt to disguise' the writer, yet those who think Patsy wrote it, cite so many similarities to her handwriting and linguistic style. If the author was attempting to disguise, and it was Patsy, why would it still be so obvious?
If he acted alone in killing JB because it looked like she was going to expose him, it might have started out being reactionary on his part that night, but I believe he was already very worried he might not be able to keep her stifled very much longer.
IF Patsy wrote the note (which I must allow for, because of the conclusions, even though not scientific, of some credible document examiners), I do believe JR could have "tricked" Patsy. All he would have had to do is tell her he had heard JB and Burke arguing (the pineapple establishes they may have shared an 'after bedtime' snack) and went down to break up an argument between them.
This might have accounted for the 'train track' abrasions on JB's body, and it actually could have been a scenario of truth. He might have sent Burke off to bed, but decided he should show JB some 'extra attention', which culminated in JR bashing her. If Burke happened to come upon any of the scene, because he heard something, but JR didn't notice him, it also might have accounted for Burke's statements.
Burke might have then dashed to find his mother, perhaps where she had fallen asleep while continuing to make trip preparations, and sent her running to the scene, where JR would have once again ordered Burke back to bed. He then only had to convince Patsy that Burke had bashed JB in a fight. Would that have been impossible for Patsy to believe? She probably was already aware that Burke was messing with JB sexually - maybe even other kids. The party on the 23rd probably sealed that.
She might have cradled JB in her arms, even leaving the bruise on her cheek from her ring prongs. With JB appearing dead, Patsy would have been putty in JR's hands about staging the horrible crime from there on out. There would have been no way Patsy would have wanted to lose Burke, especially with him being "off", as he was suspected to have been.
Anything JR would have said or done to convince Patsy they had to keep all their family secrets about the kids' behavior, and what then happened that night would have made sense to Patsy, and could have accounted for her behavior from there on out.
I will add that if Patsy thought Burke had killed JB that night, I think she could have come to realize, in the months following the death, that JR was the real perpetrator. She would have continued to go along with his story fearing for her own life and Burke's if she ever would have willfully divulged the truth - in light of the fact that she could have believed he killed JB to save his own hide.
All :moo:, of course.
