I am confused about the timeline. -Surveillance video places Ciera, apparently not in distress, in front of Xavier's mom's house on Wednesday, Feb 23, 2022. -Xavier, the dog, and the baby left for Indiana the evening of Thursday Feb 24. Was she in the car when the left? -Her phone spent time...

It's just absurd. I know what I personally would do doesn't matter, but I think I would go through several stages: Disbelief - The notion of someone coming in an kidnapping your kid without you hearing it seems far-fetched. I would be asking the older kid if he knew anything about it. "This...

If this were here in Wisconsin, it would sound suspicious if she said she had fewer than 5 or 6 drinks on Christmas.

It looks completely ridiculous, but that fact alone doesn't tell us anything. It clearly wasn't a "foreign faction", so whoever wrote it was being dishonest. We wouldn't expect them to be honest.

This explains some other things I wondered about John's comments in the questioning, like the thing with the gown Barbie on it. They asked John what it was doing in the basement, and he said something like I don't know it looks like something perverted. I always wondered what on earth he was...

I believe nothing conclusive can be gleaned from the beginning or end of the tape. It sounds to me like Patsy is responding to someone suggesting she not call the police. She says "Honey we have to..." and then "Police!" The tone does sound different, but I don't know if it means anything...

Calling the police, though, means they won't be able to get rid of the body later on.

Regardless of whether the bible was open or circled, I find it crazy John would even go along with the idea that the killer left weird clues, like highlighting a passage in a book found in the house.

I've read the more recent posts with pictures of the bible and how claims that the bible was open to this page were not substantiated. What really stands out to me is John's thinking. He's speculating that someone came into his house, found a note pad and pen, wrote a 3-page RN, including...

It's not inconceivable to me. I think the word "pimped out" may be throwing some people off because it brings to mind broke, troubled, and possibly drug-addicted people at the margins of society. I would replace that with something like "Have JBR participate in inappropriate kink activities as...

That thesis paper is interesting. I see several of the red flags described in the paper in this call. Factors Present in the 911 Call: (All of these are only marginally correlated with guilt according to the study. They're not "red flags" in the author's model.) 7. Possession of the Problem -...

I don't think the call was sincere. But I don't those instances of the word just are minimizing. I think she's saying it happened moments ago. This use of the word just sounds normal to me.

If the Ramsey's found the ransom note when they woke up, as they claim, it seems so weird that there was no concern that the kidnappers weren't still in the house. The kidnappers could have just finished that note and ducked into another room when they heard someone getting up. I know not...

How could Burke be involved without knowing it?

I agree completely. I just can't resist the urge to rant about this language. :) I just get caught up in how mind-bogglingly dehumanizing it is to refer to people the same way we refer to a forbidden treat like cocaine. I know there is a sad world refugees fleeing persecution and whose...
