    On the news they were saying there's some question about whether the guy that confessed is actually guilty.  Seems he committed a crime in Thailand and was looking at a prison sentence there ... and decided that if he was going to spend time in prison, he'd rather be here.  No surprise there.  If this guy really is guilty of that particular crime, I sure hope they apologize to John Ramsey for the hell they put him and his wife through.

    That's sick if that's true, but a news report I saw this afternoon suggested that Patsy Ramsey might have known about this new suspect back before she passed away.  I should think they wouldn't go this far if they hadn't already examined it enough to think there was reasonable belief he might be a true suspect.
     
    The whole thing is terribly sad, from so many different vantage points.

    I haven't heard the story on the news.  What did they mean she knew about him?  As in she was part of it or they had told her they thought they knew who it might of been?

    the direct quote was something like "they told her the investigation had taken a turn and they were checking out this guy".  She died back in June, so *if* that's true, they've been investigating that guy or some lead to him since June. 
    No idea if that's true.  Just something mention on CNN.

    what great investigative skills they have in boulder.... if we wait long enough maybe someone will confess??

    seems it is easy for them to say, AFTER HE CONFESSED, that they have been investigating him for a while.

    Now he is saying her death was not intentional....yeah right.  He didn't intend to put a rope around her neck and tighten it by twisting with a paint brush.  I wouldn't make a very good jury member...

    A little OT, but have you ever noticed that when someone is accused of a grisly murder or series of murders, they're always referred to in the media by their full three names? My BF pointed that out to me a while ago and now I always notice it. I wonder if it's just to liken them to famous serial killers, or if maybe it's to differentiate them from other people in the world who share their given & family names.

    Well Charlie Manson, Richard Ramirez, and Jeffery Dahmer didn't need no stinkin middle names...lol!
     
    I see it tho...probably the differentiating part methinks. Most people they do that with have pretty common names. Not anyone you'd want to be confused with lol!

    I heard that his wife said that he was with her in Alabama at the time of the killing.  I really, REALLY don't want to think that her parents knew anything about this--how horrible.

    I must be living under a rock.  I was more shocked that JonBenets Mother died.   I still feel something is fishy about that case.  I don't have any daughters and I think all little girls beautiful.   My Father had me convinced all girls are royalty.  I found JonBenets pageant pictures disturbing.  She had tons of make up, hair extensions and a bridge for her missing baby teeth.  I think she was more beautiful just as her natural self.  This is just my opinion and I hope I'm not hijacking the post.

    Not hijacking at all ... this post is about JonBenet Ramsey in a way.  And I don't think I'm the only one who always thought it was sort of creepy to see a 6 year old in all that make up parading around like she was 20. I just think there's something terribly wrong with that whole *baby beauty pageant* thing.

    I strongly agree. My Aunt works with a major television station, and I was offered to have my daughter on commercials. I said no. She still bugs me when I hear from her. I just don't want anything to do with that stuff.
     
    My mother also tried to put my son in a baby contest when he was about 18 months. I freaked.
