to figure out how she was going to cover up the death of her daughter?
If your child were murdered then as a parent you would do anything to assist the
police in finding the murderer. Not in the Ramsey case. John and Patsy Ramsey
immediately sought legal protection the very same day their daughter was found
murdered in their basement. They dodged police interviews for several months after the
murder and would not cooperate with the police. The Ramseys would not participate in
an interview with the police for many months after the event. This is not the act of
innocent parents. Before they were ever suspects they chose to hire lawyers. John
Ramsey hired a lawyer for himself, another lawyer for his wife, and also lawyers for all
his children and ex-wife. It seems that the Ramsey’s did there best to dodge any contact
with the police.
Despite instructions from the ransom note, Patsy Ramsey immediately called
friends and family to come aid her in her time of distress. The ransom note clearly stated
that “any deviation of their instructions would result in JonBenet being beheaded”. …show more content…
The crime scene and the body had
been too badly contaminated for the police to do a thorough investigation. Everything had
been compromised.
Patsy Ramsey knew what happened to JonBenet the night she was murdered.
Nothing adds up in this case. The acts of the Ramsey’s never seemed to be to help the
police solve the crime. Is it because they did not want it solved? So much time has
passed since JonBenet Ramsey was murdered the only way it will be solved is if the killer
confesses. Patsy Ramsey died of ovarian cancer on June 24, 2006 so there will never be a
confession.
