Chris's point is that the phoney ransom note doesn't work to cover up anything once the police are called and the body is still in the house. Because once the body is found, it will be obvious there never was any kidnapping and the coverup attempt will be exposed for what it is -- staging. Wanting a "proper burial" has nothing to do with it. If they were both involved with the staging, they would not have called the police at that time.
OK. Let's approach this differently. Let's say Patsy found the following 'revenge' note: ' John Ramsey, you're the scambag and we hate you. Go to the basement! We have present for you there. Victory!'. This kind of note would work for 'staging' very well, right? Means, somebody else molested/killed JBR. Police must be called right away to attend the 'homicide' case. I'm sure all Ramseys friends, pastor, doctor - all of them would be called, but not allow to come into 'crime scene'. Are you with me so far?
Now, let's get to the actual 'kidnapping' 'play' on December 26. What differences would you see between the first 'revenge' play scenario and the actual 'kidnapping' one? I'm very much interested to hear from you. Meanwhile, please allow me to point to advantages of 'kidnapping' scenario as I see it:
- buying time to let Burke out of the house;
- allow different LE personal involved (by quantity and quality), hence, contamination of evidences;
- allow friends to be IN the house, freely walking around, hence - more contamination;
- and finally, avoiding the interview with the police (as shocking, grieving, tired parents who need time to re-coup.).
Ramsey creates the brilliant plan to buy the time (of course, with a little luck from BPD and DA). Thanks to this 'kidnapping' approach - JBR case is not solved yet...after 16 years....and we still arguing...
