John Ramseys recalls that he almost dropped Jonbenet when he lifted her out of the car - yet he says he can't remember if they went into the Stines.
I've never heard of people who cannot remember the day before a traumatic even occurs. it is usually the day of the event that causes some traumatic memory loss.
You are right. I remember the last day of my mom's life. When my cousin was murdered, her parents remembered every last detail of the night that she was killed (before it happened). Its just something that ANY parent wouldn't ever forget...they would want to hold on to that memory for the rest of their life. IMO I remember in one interview, the interviewer asked Patsy what time JB was put into bed that night, and she had to ask John. "it was around 10, I believe. Right John??" Wouldn't that be something that you remembered...the LAST TIME that you saw your daughter alive??
Disbelief is a natural reaction to a truamatic event. I think it's natural to go over and over ever little detail in your head in order to try and make sense of it all.
Look at the stories of friends and families who remember every detail of the hours and days before their loved ones went off to die at the World Trade Center or the Pentagon or on the airplanes on 9/11. Thousands and thousands of people have burned into their memories what the various 9/11 victims were up to in the innocent and unknowing hours of September 10th, and six and seven and eight a.m. on September 11th.
My mother can still remember what she was doing when she heard that JFK had been shot.
LOL! right on,and...they fit,so, no acquit!
