New Globe is Out!! Top Forensic Expert- Mom Did it!

I agree. The expressions are speaking to us and crying out. I see both of them communicating with their eyes. I will have to stare at the photo and see what it says to me. I think Patsy's face is more set and defiant, and JonBenet looks sad, wounded, and scared. But I need more time to really study this.

 

As usual, I have to point out that you can't trust photographs, especially the color in them.

I think that dark area on Patsy is just a shadow from the ruffle on her shirt. Look at JB's chin - the shadow from her lips makes it look like there is a huge bruise on her chin. The problem is the printing of half-tone gray scales, which make the shadows look darker than they actually are. Another example is the extremely dark shadow on the side of JB's face from her hair - that's not a bruise on her temple either.

 

Well, that's what KK had shown - that the "bruise" is the same shape as the ruffle of her blouse.

But their expressions are not happy, are they? No matter if bruises are showing on the skin, there are deep bruises in their hearts.

 

YIKES!! I had mine (bone marrow) taken from the left cheek butt!! now THAT HURT!!!! :scream: :yow: don't let anyone tell you it does NOT hurt!! It does!!

 

I wouldn't bother reading anything into their staged expressions. Consider the staged photo with Nedra, where they all have mean-looking expressions on their faces and Burke is saluting. Patsy loved being the subject of artistic photographs.

 

I haven't seen that one. Do you have it for us? Burke saluting. How cute.

 

hmm
the oh woe is me might have some legs to it !!

( oh havent been anywhere...just watching...i have more to learn that to impart !! )

why do i get the feeling things are about to unravel a little...

shall be very interesting ot see if the media...brazen beast that it be ( sic ) might be changing horses mid stream here !! Up until now i would think that Team Ramsey were pretty snug and smug in their bunker.. as a distant observer... the tide seems to be changing...you almost get the vibe that should one or two more bastions of the fourth estate take up the cause...or at least abandon Ramsey's unsubstantiated innocence, that that leak make start to look more like a torrent...and then the rats will fend for themselves..and someone will wanna be the first to gab!!

Tricia et all.. your work is not in vain.. the clouds are breaking..

 

I didn't save that pic, perhaps Why_nut has it, or the MakeToast site. They are all standing at "attention"...

 

If you have the National Enquirer book, it is in there I do believe.

I looked, it is of JonBenet saluting, and the others standing ramrod stiff.

 

I just want to say God bless the Globe for keeping JonBenet in the minds of the public.

 

It has now been a month since the Globe printed its exclusive story featuring the opinions of seven experts regarding who killed JonBenet. Since that issue of the Globe can no longer be bought at newstands, we can now reprint the article so that anyone who was unable to purchase a copy can read it in full.

GLOBE EXCLUSIVE
Special Report by Dawna Kaufmann

JONBENET: DID MOM DO IT?
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

10 years after pageant princess's murder, experts point finger of guilt at PATSY

It was the day after Christmas 10 years ago when the broken body of little JonBenet Ramsey was found in the basement of her parents' Boulder, Colo., home. Haunting pictures of the 6-year=old beauty parading in a pageant princess outfit, and dancing and singing as a cowgirl, both captivated and chilled America.

A decade later, authorities are no closer to solving the crime than they were on that frigid morning in 1996, when John and Patsy Ramsey first reported finding a ransom note in the house and their daughter missing.

In a quest to unveil the truth, GLOBE asked a panel of leading experts to describe what they believe happened in the Ramsey house on the fateful night - and we conducted a survey on Websleuth.com to see what the public thinks.

Of more than 1,000 people who took part in the Internet survey, nearly 54 percent believe JonBenet was killed by her mom. The remaining votes were almost evenly split between someone Patsy knew and a stranger.

"It seemed like an easy-to-crack case, but here we are, 10 years later, and there's still no justice for JonBenet," says Tricia Griffith, a radio DJ from Park City, Utah, and Websleuths.com owner. "Most Websleuths members believe Patsy did it in a fit of fury."

Many of the experts seem to agree, as you can see in our exclusive interviews about America's most sensational and enduring unsolved mystery.


EXPERT #1 - Dr. Rusty Morris, top forensic psychologist
Mental disorder fueled deadly rage

Patsy Ramsey suffered from a bizarre mental illness that helped spark a "rage-fueled episode" leading to JonBenet's savage murder - that's the explosive scenario laid out by top forensic psychologist Dr. Rusty Morris.

"I always wondered if there might be Munchausen Syndrome-by-Proxy going on in the Ramsey home," Morris tells GLOBE. "That's a disorder where a parent fabricates symptoms in a child, subjecting him or her to unnecessary medical tests or even surgery. A person with this condition craves attention and will do anything to achieve it, even putting a child at risk." Morris cites the 27 trips JonBenet made to her - pediatrician over three years as a pointer. She adds that the young girl's chronic bedwetting problem may have been the trigger that caused Patsy - who died at 49 in June after a long
battle with ovarian cancer - to explode in rage.

"I believe Patsy's stressors may have overtaken her that night," says Morris. "There was a rage-fueled episode where Patsy lost it, and JonBenet ended up dead. After that, there was staging to cover up the crime.

"This poor little girl had a violent end and her killer got away with it. The case ended with Patsy's death."


EXPERT #2 - Robert Ressler, former FBI profiler
Secrets of phony ransom note

JonBenet's mom fits the profile of the person who wrote the "phony" ransom note found in the Ramsey's home, reveals former FBI expert. Robert K. Ressler, who helped establish criminal profiling for the feds, says that the style, language and information contained in the note point to an approximately 40-year-old white woman from the South as the author - a description that seems to match Patsy.

"It's absolutely phony." says Ressler about the note. "Usually a ransom note just gives the basics, "I want this, do it or else". But this one was full of colorful language and mixed messages. Then there's the matter of why
any kidnapper would demand money when the victim's dead body was left behind. It just didn't make sense."

Ressler points out that much of the note's language is feminine.

"There's almost a maternal quality to comments like, 'The delivery will be
exhausting so I advise you to be rested,'" he tells GLOBE, referring to the way the kidnapper wanted the money handed over. "A hardened criminal would never use those terms."

Sixties-era expressions like "fat cat," French-influenced vocabulary such as "attache" and the demand for $118,000 - just $150 less than John Ramsey's annual bonus - might also point to a person like Patsy, who grew
up in the '60s, studied French and was familiar with her husband's finances.
Someone else with that knowledge probably would have demanded more.

Says Ressler, "If a kidnapper knew John's company was worth a billion dollars, he or she would have asked for 10 times that amount."


EXPERT #3 - Dr. Steven E. Pitt, recognized forensic psychiatrist
The big "act"

Patsy Ramsey gave Oscar-quality performances during police interviews
about the murder, if you believe nationally recognized forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Steven E. Pitt.

Pitt, a former consultant for the Boulder police and D.A.'s office, who scrutinized the videotaped interviews, tells GLOBE that one particular
exchange between cops and JonBenet's mom "caused me to practically jump out of my seat.

"It's the part where Patsy denied any knowledge of how pineapple got into the child's digestive tract after the family arrived home from a party. She
snarled that she had put the girl right to bed and hadn't served
her fruit.

"But this was a glaring inconsistency because there was a spoon and bowl of fresh pineapple in the breakfast nook, and the bowl had Patsy's fingerprints on it."

He adds that Patsy gave other misleading testimony and pegs her as being more than a match for her interrogators.

"Academy Awards have been given out for lesser performances," says Pitt. "She was a very attractive woman, almost seductive. She knew how to work her Southern charm and was definitely a seasoned performer."


Expert #4 - David S. Liebman, handwriting expert
More secrets of phony ransom note

"I'm not saying Patsy killed JonBenet, but I'm convinced there's an extremely
high probability she was the person who wrote the ransom note," says handwriting expert David S. Liebman, who completed his work for a private attorney in 1997 and is now sharing his conclusions with GLOBE.

"The chance of a third party sharing the same characteristics as Patsy and the ransom note writer is astronomical", he says.

The 67-line ransom note, written with one of Patsy's Sharpie pens on a legal pad, is generally seen by investigators as the single best clue in the case. Liebman says that samples of Patsy's writing he studied had a whopping 51 points of comparison with the ransom note.

Declares Liebman, "That is a very significant number."


Expert #5 - Dr. Henry Lee, famed criminalist
Fiber, prints and DNA

Patsy Ramsey should have been brought to trial for getting in the way of justice for their daughter, charges famed criminalist Dr. Henry Lee.

"It seemed to me there was enough evidence to establish the level of proof needed to indict Patsy Ramsey of at least, obstruction of justice," Lee tells GLOBE.

"But in the state of Colorado, that lesser option was not possible as long as there was the potential for a homicide charge."

Lee, arguably the world's leading criminalist, reveals in this GLOBE exclusive that there was plenty of physical evidence, including fingerprints, hair, fibers, DNA, duct tape from JonBenet's mouth and the cord used to strangle her.

But none of the evidence tied a specific person to the crime.

"Even with all the evidence, I could see we were lacking luck," says Lee, who served as a consultant for the Boulder D.A.'s office.

"Many of the authorities involved believed that they lacked Patsy's complete cooperation, who seemed lawyered up.

By the time of the 1998 grand jury hearings, "I gave the case less than a 50 percent chance of being solved," Lee recalls.

"Thirteen months later, when its deliberations were completed but before the panel had the chance to vote on indicting one or both Ramseys, I told the D.A. that the best course of action would be to not file charges.

"It broke his heart, but he knew I was right - the case at that point was unwinnable."


Expert #6 - Dr. Cyril Wecht, forensic pathologist
Sadistic game gone awry

JonBenet died during a sadistic game, concludes famed forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril H. Wecht.

"A very thorough autopsy was performed and reads like a horror thriller:' Wecht tells GLOBE. "All the clues are there to determine the terrible events
that caused this child's heart to stop beating."

Cause of death for the 3-foot-ll, 45-pound girl was ligature strangulation and a severely fractured skull. She also had abrasions on various body parts and suffered vaginal injuries.

"The crucial element here is that the cord was not intended to kill JonBenet" says Wecht. "It was wrapped rather gently around her neck with no
hemorrhages or fractures, which means this was an accidental strangulation.

"I believe somebody that night was playing a sadistic game with JonBenet, possibly for sexual gratification - and possibly a game that had been played before. The head blow and vaginal injuries were just staging.

"Typically, when I see sexual choking deaths, the perpetrator is male. But
there have been exceptions. Since no semen was found, there's nothing to
this murder that would exclude Patsy Ramsey as the killer.

"With Patsy's death the case is over."


Expert #7 - Norm Early, former Denver DA Norm Early
A wall of silence

Instead of crusading for justice, Patsy Ramsey avoided police questions in the murder of JonBenet, asserts former Denver D.A. Norm Early.

"She used lawyers, public relations gurus, private eyes and her own fat bankroll to erect a brick wall to shield herself from the kinds of questions you would think she'd want to answer if she really had nothing to do with her
daughter's death and wanted to find the killer," says Early.

"Why didn't Patsy Ramsey camp out in front of the Boulder police department
instead of moving with her family to Atlanta?

"And, when investigators were finally able to talk to her, Patsy was
remarkably evasive when confronted with forensic evidence that made her look guilty."

 

Thanks for posting this, Cherokee. It's nice that now that Patsy can't sue everyone who gives their professional opinion about the evidence, we can actually see what some really believe it shows.

Speaking of the NE, "a Michigan woman" just posted that the new issue says Karr has a 21 year old girlfriend with A 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.

How stupid can some people be? We know EXACTLY what that's about! Bet he'll be babysitting night and day.

 

Where's the expert on DID?

 

Uh-oh.

 

Cherokee,
Thank you so much. :bow:

 

Well, IMO, if anything happens to that little girl, the mother should be charged too.

 

I agree! What is wrong with the woman? Will she buy the little girl a seven foot alligator to play with too?

 

Hi There

It's been soooooooooooo long since my last post. Hope that everyone is well in this new year.

The photos in the Globe article were taken by me. They were orginally black and white images that they colorized. There were no bruises on either Patsy or JonBenet at the time of the photo shoot. The colorization process made the shadows very dark. The original b&w photos looked much better.

Here is the salute photo:

 

Thanks, Cookie. That really is an awesome photo in so many ways.

Nice to see you, BTW. We have been wondering if Doc's book is making any progress. Any news you can share?

 

Thank you for posting this again, Cherokee. I did have it on file from Little, and lost it. Printing it now.
