Watching it now. Most of it is same-old cherry-picked same-old, but they do interview a grand juror who said that the gj believed Patsy wrote the ransom note and that no one came through the basement window because of the presence of an intact cobweb.
We're just going to hear about the famous list, which at the rate they're working through it, should be generating donations for the rest of their lives.
Ya, looking for the two new expert comments.
Did the handwriting expert say that either PR or IDI may have written the note?
The one in the show last night was listed as Johnathon Webb and he spoke directly without any concealment of his face or voice. I thought that was the most interesting part of the program.Maybe 2016, juror's name withheld
Grand Juror Who Saw Original Evidence in JonBenet Ramsey Case Speaks Out
ETA maybe he's now deceased and his image can be revealed?
Maybe we will get additional details and/or other jurors speaking now
Are we finally allowed to discuss the Intruder theory here? I tried in the past and was told it was not allowed. We could only discuss the family.
I listened to the Victims Voice podcast episodes. Go listen if you haven’t and then tell me how you can possibly argue that there was not an intruder.
Why on earth would Lou Smits family dedicate their time to testing DNA. They need the original DNA to submit to genealogy. All they have is the report. This is maddening to me.
Because its a money spinner. Loadsa $$ for the Smit Family.Why on earth would Lou Smits family dedicate their time to testing DNA.
This is all good stuff. Whether or not he can explain why the Daily Camera Story omitted the Likelihood Ratio concerning the two samples is unknown. And this note in the Bode reports is the only place wherein the UM1 profile is referred to. So no other conclusion can be drawn from the Bode tests to the profile in CODIS. However, I think we can all agree that the kind of services Othram offers is what needs to happens next in the JonBenet case. It would depend on the DNA itself. I think there would have to be more DNA to test that we don’t know of to produce a different type of profile. Or, they need a full profile. We should all accept that we don’t know what we don’t know. And no one has all the answers.
I’m wondering though if there are enough open minds on this forum to accept the findings Othram might return if they were to be entrusted with the evidence and it leads them to an intruder?
Have you listened to the new podcast? The DNA evidence is strong. They just never found a match. The Smit family are not doing this for money. That makes no sense. My question was, why is Boulder PD not helping them by sending the DNA to genealogy? Who in Boulder does not want this solved?juli99,

There was no intruder because there is zero evidence to support such a claim. Citing non-Ramsey dna samples does not mean their existence demonstrates a non-Ramsey was in the house the night JonBenet was killed, since they may have arrived by any one of multiple routes.
To nail down an intruder you need either a bona fide confession along with non-public domain forensic details, or dna sourced from saliva, semen, blood, etc.

What got me was when the 911 operator spoke. IIRC she said that after Patsy had called in hysterics to 911 and told her abt the kidnapping, that instead of hanging up the phone right away Patsy says..'there, I've called the cops, now what do we do next', or something like that.
I was also shocked at how composed they were. When they were first being interviewed, it's like they had no emotion. jmo...it stuck me as very odd.
