Wordy McWordy. Patsy Ramsey died this year, forever shutting the door on investigation of her involvement in the death of her "that child". We will never have direct testimony from Patsy about what happened to her kid. That is so huge, even if she was just a guilty by-stander, which I don't believe. (I think she did it.) I also think that in May of last year, Patsy either wrote or caused to be written a post here, under the hat "mybelief". I think she knew she was ta-ta from her cancer at that point, and believed that John Mark Karr was going to be railroaded into at least an indictment, and Patsy then tried to dot some I's and cross some T's. The timing is too convenient for that poster to have been miscellaneous. That was around when they were believing that Karr was the bad guy (thanks to the irreplaceable help of the elegant Professor Tracey), and Patsy was thinking that maybe the killer had been captured at last. Or fingered at last. I will look for the old post over the weekend -I am too enslaved now by my business - apologies to all.
wombat, Could this be what you're looking for? Below is also the link to the entire thread...it's just too good to bypass. http://www.forumsforjustice.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6836&page=1
Oh yes, that's it. I obsessed about that for weeks. I think either She Herself wrote it, or had help from Aunt Pam. It reads even more like the Ramseys now that we know they were planning on fingering Karr. It's full of ransom note words and phrases, and is structured like her Christmas letters. Even the hat - mybelief - is something that Patsy said in a deposition - "My belief is that whoever wrote the ransom note" killed JonBenet. Mine too!
intersting post that ...the patsy durge...funny...what evidence points elsewhere?? .must have missed that gem!! :violin:
Good for you, tylin, finding this post by Watching You (post #1),and very observant of Wombat. Thank you both. My reply to this was the following post. I would like to add Miss/Mr Marple <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
Maybe. Mybelief is definitely one of them. The fact that mybelief disappeared after a few posts does not point to an "uninvolved" person
Susan is keeping a close eye on John Mark Karr. If Karr goes ahead with his sexual resignment surgery, Susan will do the same. They can then live together happily everafter. :floor:
Isn't it funny how these strange hats come and go, Wombat? They give themselves away, by the way they suddenly appear and disappear, but the writing style is always very similar, that all of them may well be mybelief. This is my belief.
Blues Strat... You are bad! :takeabow: Happy New Year, Everyone! May 2007 be your best year yet, and may we have peace on earth and an end to the insanity in Iraq.
Happy New Year to all, as well. 2006 was an eventful year, probably the death knell of the case, but it certainly went out with a bang. I wonder if 2007 will find the case fading into infamy forever. I guess it will, unless Tracey and Smit can scrounge up another dead suspect, or another wingnut looking for his 15 minutes of JonBenet infamy in his sick fantasies. Lord knows Lacy will be ready! They've already had a trial run, after all! :nuts: :nuts: :wnut: :nuts: :nuts:
