Jayelles said:One interesting piece of research that I did involved the use of the phrase "and hence". I found out that it is used extensively in technical texts!Patsy co-wrote technical manuals before she had the children.
SuperDave said:You're not the only person who thinks so, PolkSaladAnnie.
PolkSaladAnnie said:Yep, Dave ... y'know, I've posted about 6 or 7 posts on this forum - perhaps because I don't have the patience for an all-out battle with the 'intruder' gang... I've firmly believed JBR's parents were so involved that the only way out - was, sadly - money and connections.
Looking at the autopsy photos: on the very first one with JBR's little hands, there is what looks like a FRESH black (or dark) hair on her pjyamas (or shirt) she's wearing. In other words, it's ON TOP of the sleeve - not curled or interwoven.
My instinct tells me that Patsy had a total 'wobbly' that night and (not intending murder) lashed out at JBR. Patsy may have had her hands around the child in some uncontrollable rage ... shook her and flung her away. The dear little soul may have fallen (either running away or in pursuit) then hit her head; rendered uncoscious perhaps which would have alarmed P & JR - and - instead of dialling 911 - her parents panicked.
In order to 'make' it look like a random murder, the garrot was brought in - because that was a better oprion than facing a child abuse leak in the event JBR survived.
The rest? Shakespeare wouldn't have even set such a gruesome scene and finished off a child to ensure 'a stroy' held tight.
I'll be 'downed' for my theory here - but ever since I saw the case on TV in 96/97 ... this is what i have thought. Nothing will change my mind. Nothing.
Go check for that dark hair, too
Best: PSA

I don't have much patience for the intruder deLOUsions either, but I so enjoy a good scrap!
PolkSaladAnnie said:Heh ... well,S/Dave: this story still has me SMITten ... (and one and one equals two...)
Take care. Again I dont post often as my feelings are embedded in concrete and iron - so why debate? It's just that since Patsy's passing all this has been renewed and I've opted to renew my impressions.
I hope Tricia/WS puts up a Sweet Sixteen thread for Jon Benet on August 6th
One day, as mentioned couple weeks ago, Burke will really talk...
Thasall4now. Take care!

The movie they watched at the Whites was "Nick of Time?" I thought it was Ransom, and I mistakenly posted that here somewhere. It's been several years since I've followed this case. ~There is life outside of this case.Rupert said:Coincidently, the movie that was watched at the Whites that night was called "Nick of Time" and was about the kidnapping of a 6 year old girl to force the father to do something ("follow their instructions to the letter") by a certain time and the time the alarm clock struck was 1:18. It was repeated over and over again that the father must "follow their instructions" by a certain time. The "Nick of Time" was 1:18.
SuperDave said:I too find her death tragic, but for my own reasons.
TOM HANEY: "Could it have been an accident?"PolkSaladAnnie said:THAT NOTE ... proved this was NO random intruder. And, in my further opinion, the 'said' intruder never existed. Add alcohol, depression, anxiety, Xmas itinerary - a tense and competitive mom and a little girl crying out for a hug: .... bang. Accidents happen.

PATSY RAMSEY: "I -- don't know."
The father had the gun in his hand ready to shoot the Governor lying asleep in bed. The father hesitated and the clock went from 1:18 to 1:19 (click). The Governor woke up that instant. If the father had shot the Governor by 1:18 he would have done it in the nick of time and saved his daughter.Paradox said:This is not correct Rupert. The 1:18 time was nothing of particular interest in the movie, it was just one of the many, many shots to the clock as events unfolded. In fact, the camera was on 1:18 for just a split second while it lingered on 1:19.
And I think the age of the little girl was not established in the movie.

Who said it was a 6 year old girl, Bill Cox who related the movie to the police. Hmmmm, why would he say 6 year old?........
Possibly yes. Alcohol plays a huge role in many domestic violence cases, often driving people to do things which they never would never have done while sober.PolkSaladAnnie said:My gut tells me alcohol is key to this drama ... but then ... ???

Considering Patsy's overall stressed-out state, a couple of drinks at the Whites' party may just have been another factor which contributed to her snapping and losing it.
