I have been wondering what security measures the Ramsey's have taken after the "kidnapping" & brutal murder of their daughter. IMO Having your family targeted by a ...still at large, sadistic, murdering, vendetta consumed madman would pretty much guarantee extreme security measures.
I would imagine, psychologically speaking, the fear of having the same done to your sons would consume a parent.
So what did the Ramsey's do?
Hmmm, let us see. Just what
did the Ramseys do? Well, in the Ramsey book Death of Innocence, Patsy says that she was concerned for her own safety, so she insisted on having an alarm system installed at the Charlevoix house. She also insisted that a friend in Charlevoix check the house for intruders when she was staying there by herself because she was too afraid.
Whoops, that sure was a big act for the benefit of others and not out of real fear. Because then Patsy says that she let Burke answer the door to a complete stranger, the famous Man In A Wheelchair whom John and Patsy subsequently say worried them with how unsavory and frightening he made them feel.
Let me repeat that. John and Patsy say they were afraid of intruders after JonBenet's death, but they let ten-year-old Burke answer the door, with a stranger on the other side, by himself, thus risking their son's kidnapping and/or death on the spot.
It speaks volumes of how much they
pretended to be concerned about safety, but in real life knew that JonBenet's killer was not going to hurt their son.
When John and Patsy bought their new house in Vinings, Georgia, in 1997, John says they equipped it with "the best" security; alarms, security cameras, a locked gate to the driveway, and they bought a dog. In DOI, John then described how the alarm went off one day, but there was no response from police. Curious, then. You would think, as a smart and frightened consumer of the companies that sold him all this security, that he would complain about how he was ripped off, and more importantly, he would
correct the problem immediately, and install better security measures. But not our John and Patsy. No, no. Apparently, they just shrugged their shoulders and gave a wee sigh of "Eh, what can you do." Because in 2001, John claims a tall black man broke into the same house, stole some property, and locked John in a bathroom.
Where were "the best" security measures during this break-in? Apparently, the security cameras John and Patsy thought would be so useful to protect them from intruders were not installed after all. There was no dog to either protect them or even to alert them. The supposed intruder
drove his own car into the driveway, so what happened to locking the expensive driveway gate to prevent exactly that from happening? For that matter, if John was really so worried about a genuine intruder kidnapping and/or killing himself or his family, why did he
not even BOTHER to memorize the license plate number of an intruder's car in his own driveway, at a time when he knew the car did not belong there, and he was of sound mind and body?
It is always said that you can judge a person's nature not by what they
say they do, but by what they
actually do. John and Patsy talk a good game about being worried that JonBenet's killer is still roaming free, but their actions betray the fact that they do nothing to really protect themselves from the person they say killed her. And a reasonable person can believe that this is because they know who killed her, and are not worried about being killed themselves by that person.
