With all the hubbub going on right now in the media and on this site regarding an arrest in this case, I wanted to take a moment to remember the real reason why we are here: a little girl named JonBenet Patricia Ramsey, and I know you all remember that, too. We are all mothers, fathers, people who love children and love justice.
My mom has the book the Ramseys wrote and so I was looking at it last night and mainly at the photos of JonBenet. She was six years old...she had the same birthday as my youngest daughter who was born in 1998...she was tiny. Although my youngest just turned 8, I had forgotten how petite and young and BABY a 6-year-old really is. JonBenet still had her baby teeth.
She was a BABY, and she was so beautiful, just a very beautiful little girl whom you can tell was a spark plug and full of precocious energy. She was a kindergartner and there is a photo of her on her first day of school with her lunchbox, wearing a sweet little plaid schoolgirl dress. A KINDERGARTNER! I bet her teacher just adored her...looking into those luminous gray eyes, how could anyone not adore her?
If this Karr person is her killer, may he fry. If he isn't, may there please be justice someday for this precious little child. If her parents did this, God help them...if they did, you can bet Patsy is receiving her punishment right now.
I don't know who did this, and I don't know what I think. I have leaned towards the mother, I have leaned towards an intruder, and right now I'm squarely on the fence with regard to this John Mark Karr. However, I do know this: JonBenet was a precious child, as all children are infinitely precious, and someday, somehow, whether it's on this earth or in God's court of Ultimate Justice...someone is going to pay for what they did to her.
Rest in peace, JonBenet...you are remembered, loved, and you will be avenged.
