"If you could have one wish what would that wish be?"
...This was a common type of question asked of "Pagent Queens" in Patsy Ramsey's day... The typical response was always a 'performing type answer' such as' "If I could have only one wish, I would wish for WORLD PEACE."
Every 'normal' female (non-homecoming queen, non-cheerleader, non-fashion show participant, non-beauty pagent contestant) gaged profucely every time they heard one of these 'fake' responses... (Personally, I was always one of the blue jean-tee shirt clad females, desperately trying not to hurl. ) By choice, Patsy was one of those 'people pleasing' types, as is evident by her pagent life, by her grooming her child for this type of life and by the way she presented herself on a daily basis dressed to the hilt and always with full facial make-up, perfected to a tee. ( Remember, it was also reported she had full make-up and her party clothes from the night before on,but had not showered, even on the day of the discovery of a ransom note and her daughter's body. The 'image' mattered.) Given that she performed for the public on a daily basis, how do you think she handled answering indepth questioning about her families and her REAL life?
For 10 years Patsy Ramsey was stripped 'nekkid' by LE and the media for the world to view the genuine way that they conducted life 24/7 on a daily basis. She had to tell the WORLD that her murdered daughter frequently SOILED her pants. She had to answer questions about from where some stupid pineapple came, about a silly stuffed bear and about a stupid package of size 12 underware. She had to answer questions in which her answers would be ripped apart and scrutinized by the World. You know she had to fear her every word being taken out of context for the sole purpose of implicating her young son, her husband and/or herself in the horiffic murder of her little daughter. Her daughter was DEAD and these people were asking "Stupid Questions." The "Norman Rockwell" painting she constructed of her Life was melting faster than snow in the South.
Can you for a second put yourself into her shoes and imagine the enormous level of stress that she was under having lost her daughter and still desperately attempting to hold together what was left of her family? The 'perfect' self-created illusions that were her life, were destroyed on Dec. 25, 1996. Her family was forever exposed for the World for public viewing.
I don't have any opinion as to who murdered JonBenet. However, I do have an opinion about all of Patsy's responses to hours and hours of recorded questioning. If I was the mother of a murdered little angel like JonBenet, and if I was asked over and over what must have seemed like stupid questions about such things as size 12 underwear that I bought as a Christmas gift for a neice, I would have wanted to scream! I would have been a babbling idiot. Prior to Dec. 25th, my answers would have been coherant and non-implicating. After Dec. 25th, every word from my mouth would have indicated guilt. Until the day I died, I would have felt and shown guilt in my every answer to every 'stupid question' and in every lie detector test I took. That guilt would have been genuine. I would have felt GUILTY for feeling as if I had not done my # 1 job as a mother; to protect my little girl from being murdered.
For what it is worth, I think Patsy Ramsey's maternal instinct influenced her every answer until her death in 2006. She tried to protect Burke, John, herself and JonBenet even after the murder. What 'good' Mother wouldn't? Does this make John or Burke or Patsy guilty? Absolutely not. Does it make the World question their guilt? Absolutely. So who is wrong? I would love to ask Princess Di her opinion about this. Diana was one of the few humans who could relate to having her life exposed, examined and purged to the degree that the Ramsey's have.
From 1997 to Patsy's death in 2006, if she had been asked if she had one wish, I would bet that her answer wouldn't have a "D" thing to do with "World Peace". Patsy had to learn to 'get real' and to 'get real' quick. It must have been a very difficult transition to make for someone who had always presented a 'made-up' image for the World to see. There must have been great conflict between her characteristic 'beauty queen' answers and with her genuine, protective maternal answers.
If Patsy's responses to what she must have viewed as 'stupid questions' were indeed tainted by 'beauty queen fake' combined with her genuine maternal protection, of what value are they to investigators? (LE, talking heads, or WS'ers) In my opinion, they are of very little value. So why do we continue to debate them as if they were authentic fact?
Patsy's answers to questions about the bear, the pineapple, and the size 12 underwear and every debate which used these answers as 'fact' should have been figuratively buried long, long ago with JonBenet. IMO, they are worthless.
