I used to be on the fence so to speak when it came to what really happened in the Ramsey house that night. The case has driven me crazy, I have read as much as I can find about the Ramsey family and the evidence, both physical and circumstantial, and there is only one sequence of events that makes sense to me. I believe that Burke accidentally killed his sister, and then his parents covered it up. Due to the fact that Burke was only nine when the crime was committed, he couldn't legally be responsible for his actions, but his parents wanted to protect both their son and themselves from public embarrassment. This was a very wealthy family, and as it turned out, their money stopped them being indited after a grand jury trial. Not long after the trial, a member of the boulder police department quit his job and produced documentation proving that the jury had voted to indite the Ramseys, and that the district attorney was the one who claimed there was not enough evidence to proceed. The DA also referred to the case as a "Political situation". There are many details that have lead to my theory, but one of the most compelling was the untouched spider web in the corner of the window the intruder allegedly entered and exited through, and the leaf litter at the entrance to the window. The window was relatively small, and to get in and out, it would be impossible to not disturb the leaves, webs, etc. You would expect to find some leaf litter inside the basement as it would have come in on the 'intruders' shoes and clothing. Then there of course is the issue of the ransom letter. There is no explanation as to why a kidnapper/murderer would go to the house empty handed. I have never heard of a ransom note being three pages long and coming from stationary inside the home where the kidnapping was to take place. The same can be said for the garret, which was made using one of Patsy's paintbrushes. Why leave so much to chance? It doesn't make sense. As for the unidentified DNA found in the underwear, trace DNA can come from so many different places. On one of the many documentaries about this crime, a forensic pathologist tested a brand new pair of underwear that had not been opened. He found DNA belonging to multiple contributors. There was no seminal fluid and real damage done. To this particular forensic scientist it seemed staged to look like a sexually motivated crime.
The stun gun theory was also tested and firstly, they do not leave marks that are in any way similar to those on the body. However, a piece of Burke's train track fits perfectly. Perhaps after he had hit her in the head with the flashlight, and when she didn't get back up, he picked up the closest thing at hand and poked her with it, seeing if she would move. The interviews with Burke are interesting too. He is calm and doesn't seem bothered at all that his sister had just been murdered. You can hear on the 911 tape that Burke was definitely awake, so why tell police he was asleep? I could go on but I'm running out of space. The point is, a little girl lost her life and was never given the justice she deserved.
