After all my research into this case, I have come to the conclusion that due to initial crime scene errors, DA obstruction of investigation for political reasons and BPD inexperience, the significant 'hard evidence' from this case has been lost and most of it rendered worthless.
Because of the compromised or contaminated evidence, contradictory statements (from both detectives and witnesses) and non conclusive interpretations of fact, I have begun to wonder if some of the strongest investigative tools might be criminal profiling and behavioural analysis.
I know that the FBI and CASKU were involved with the case at times, but there seems to be little information about their findings. How extensive was their involvement? Was their position largely advisory? Have they reviewed the Ramsey's CNN appearances, or DOI, for example? Perhaps a massive review of behavioural evidence may trigger some kind of breakthrough ie comparing past 911 calls from guilty/innocent parents, body language during interview, verbal cues, case study criminal behaviour patterns, crime scene typicals etc.. (I am aware that part of the profile of this case is that it is so unique that as a whole it is not comparable to past crimes).
I realise that a psychological and behavioural interpretative approach is relatively subjective (in much the same way as linguistic analysis of the RN), but ironically it seems that the behaviour and interview responses of the Ramsey's are documented fact to a great extent. Perhaps in the same way that Lou Smit joined the case to bring his homicide expertise, criminal psychologists could be asked to extensively investigate this ten year old case?
I would be interested in any references, links or information on existing psychological profiling of the Ramseys, witnesses and the crime scene.
