If I found a note in my house that said “you and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities” I’d at least would be looking out the window!
The plan was to hide the body in a secret nook in the house, fake a kidnapping with a ransom note, then wait until later to dispose of the body. The plan probably makes sense to someone in a panic.
It's possible. That's why when the search of the house occured the second time when being instructed by the Detective on scene to start on the third floor and make their way down; John immediately goes to the basement and into the dark room where Johnbennet Ramsey was.
Or...or....the murder was a sophisticated reliving of a famous crime committed almost 50 years prior, for which someone might be uniquely celebrating in their mind "a murderversary". Crazy, I know.
Completely disagree. Why would anyone frame them selves in a cover up by using your husbands bonus amount an movie quotes from posters in her basement. I don't even believe that though many sure do. Makes 0 sense to me. 2 of biggest suspects Meyer an Wolf matched handwriting as much or more then Patsy...
@@davidwilliams4498 It made sense to the Ramseys at the time because they were liars, that's what liars do. John himself said in a taped interview that the family wasn't "into the movies", and yet they had an entire home movie theater complete with movie posters. Explain that.
Yup. There's also something highly sophisticated happening just in the opening. There's a psychological manipulation happening called a "psycho-acoustic". The author is forcing a paradigm shift, without you even knowing.
It is one of several movie references within the ransom note, which shows a through line and in my opinion an arc of who the criminal was. Diehard, Speed, Ransom, Ordinary people. My favorite is Diehard, which is a movie that is hotly debated if it's a Christmas movie, that takes place on christmas and is about a crime that looks like one thing, but is really another.
@@PaulaAbdul-JabarShe wouldn't be the first murderer to do so. Plenty of murderers do it thinking it will work in their favor or even to taunt investigators and this is why cops have to question anyone who calls in a murder or abduction....it has happened many times before.
The writing starts off slow and shaky and gradually picks up speed, flow and boldness as if the writer gets carried away with their thoughts and their own sheer hubris.
I didn't realize you guys were familiar with forensic linguistics. This is good. I've been looking for people like you. You would be the closest to understanding what is happening inside the Ransom note, however, what may be helpful would be if you had familiarity with or help from capabilities of the FBI. Specifically the cryptography department of the FBI familiar with codes and hidden messages.
My vote is that Patsy or John killed JB while under the influence of prescription med such as Ambien, which is well-known for producing vivid nightmares that ppl even act out & doesn’t remember the next day, only vague if any recollection when family members or friends around point out. Look it up. I had a well-known acquaintance who experienced such, took Ambien went to bed, and next day was told she pulled a gun out of her closet and went downstairs where a couple of relatives were, acted “very weird”, said somewhat incoherent and paranoid things, before disappearing back upstairs. This person only remembered going to bed and waking up the next morning
@@deannkeith4271 EXACTLY!!!! I’ve been saying that for years! Look into the Ambien side effects and the conspicuous omission John makes about taking it in later interviews, while at the beginning, the maid had said she knew either one or both of them took Ambien bec she saw the prescription pills bottle in their bedroom
If it was intruder, using a notepad and pen from inside the household (abd assuming they wrote it there) it should have a one page, 1-2 paragraphs at the most.
At this time we have your daughter in our possession. This statement is for the police. It is to bolster the story that she has been kidnapped and was taken alive and she is now somewhere else.
Nobody will ever convince me that an "intruder" wrote that note... it's ridiculous to try to come up with a scenario that makes sense as far as the note... I think Burke the brother killed her and the parents covered it up... the note was written to try to throw off investigators... but the cops on scene did a terrible job controlling the scene... they let people walk around and even clean up!!! Even tho they didn't realize it was a murder... its still a kidnapping ffs... they didn't even search the house!!! They let the dad move the body and so on and so on... completely botched the investigation 💯 I'm glad you covered this... great video!!!
No one will convince me Patsy was stupid enough to use John's bonus amount as ransom. She was a millionaire wife a state beauty pageant winner they had it made why would they cover up whatever. After see the brutal autopsy photos I'm not even convinced family did this it was an easy money grab ransom that turned murder when JB screamed. Sadly no one has proven what really happened
@@onesolvedmystery2274you may need to scores sample of the suspects writing to do so. Maybe from court records. Or maybe a viewer lives in that area of the country?
Great analysis. It´s also her punctuation, her grammar, her vocabulary and her writing style. Patsy even admitted that she wrote the draft note that they found (it just reads "Mr. and Mrs. R"). There is a 99.9 % chance that Patsy wrote the note. The parents found her dead and panicked. They desperately needed something to misdirect police away from the family. That´s when the idea with the ransom note came up.
Broken glass on TOP OF THE SUITCASE and undisturbed spider web in the window opening, the garrote made with PATSY'S PAINT BRUSH and the family DOG does NOT bark once, Solves the case for me.
Basic Known FACTS - Patsy was dressed & ready to go, found the note, read a few lines, raced back upstairs, found JB gone & screamed for John. She could only say about a note & JB gone, he said to call the police. 2 males had got in the kitchen door when the Ramseys went to the White’s Xmas dinner. They had broken in before & that’s why they knew where everything was & exactly what they were going to do. About 1.30 a.m., in her bed JB was choked with the cord, tasered on her back, wrapped in 2 white blankets & carried to the boiler room. When the cord was quickly released she screamed, a neighbour heard that because of the vent that went out the window of the boiler room, front of the house. Fibres from the frayed ends of the cord were found on JB’s sheet & are in evidence. Both perps ran out a dickie door through the garage, down to the back, waited under a pine tree then went back in. They had ran into the metal ladder & it hit the cement as they ran out. That was the 'crash' noise the neighbour's husband heard. Fresh pine needles came off one of their jackets & were found in the cellar & are in evidence. That was Not a garrotte, it was a complex bondage device & made by the 17 year old who was into causing fear & used electricity as part of the torture during vile acts. Due to this & positioning, plus JB was given a lot of water over this period of Hours, is why there is so much pee staining on the front of both undergarments & near to the waistbands. A square of carpet & underlay at the boiler room entry was cut out due to the pee stain & that’s in evidence. The nylon cord was bought as it had to be a bit slippery for the purpose. The knots were intricate & specific, then a certain number of ties on the wood & then the 3 loops. When that was done the rest of the cord was JB's Exact height. The end of what was actually a calligrapher’s tool that was used at her privates was cut off & never found because some deviants keep trophies. That item did Not belong to Patsy. JB was given pineapple fruitcake earlier & at 5.30 a.m. She did Not eat Any pineapple that was in that bowl, that was part of the staging, one of many. ‘The Stomach contains a small amount (8-10cc) of viscous to green to tan coloured thick material of no particulate matter identified’. ‘The Proximal Portion (top) of the Small Intestine contains fragmented pieces of yellow to light green-tan apparent vegetable or fruit material which may represent fragments of pineapple’. Arndt was there & told the ME pineapple was in a bowl. It takes 2 hours for stomach contents to go to the top of the small intestine. In Patsy’s recorded police statement of ’98, Thomas Haney told her the tiny bits of pineapple in the top of the small Intestine was Different to the pineapple in the bowl. When Patsy called 911 on the wall phone near the kitchen, JB was strangled to death in a rage on top of the dryer in the basement laundry. Cops coming meant no money. *There was a phone in that laundry. The one piece of tape was put over her mouth to stop fluids getting on their clothes & she was carried to the cellar. Then both fractures of the skull that were also pre-planned if the cops were called, 3 weapons & each is in evidence. The 1st - a brick on the top of the head that caused the huge open fracture down nearly the length of the skull. The 2nd - a utility knife & small stabs to the skull in a shape. The tool used was broken off & not found. The 3rd - was the rounded handle end of the black steel kid's ball bat & that caused the hole that the stabs started. They had planned if the cops were called, they didn't plan that Patsy would still be on the phone. That phone was in the alcove near to where they had to get out the basement door & then their exit door. Glenn Meyer was the author of the note & he organised it all for money with 3 from the house on the corner. One had a huge grudge against John in relation to a family business in Michigan. All was set up to incriminate all Ramseys if no cash was paid. Their back up for money was the taking of photos. Many items were brought into the house & staged. Many items were taken from cupboards & drawers & staged all over the house, basement & a few things outside. Meyer was secretly living in the Barnhill's basement across the road. He got to know a great deal about the Ramseys. JB's dog was mostly kept there & the kids & Patsy were over there often. Patsy gave the Barnhills many cards, letters & notes in her print writing over the years. It's easy to copy print writing & he only had to do Some letters like hers into the note as it was Supposed to look like she was trying to disguise her writing which is Impossible to do for near 3 pages & the Real experts know that fact. From his vantage point Meyer could see through both staircase windows & knew Patsy & John came down the back stairs each morning to make coffee. The note was spread out so all 3 pages would be seen, they wanted their money. The notepad was taken at the Xmas party on the 23rd. Meyer went over saying he was looking for the Barnhills worried about them ensuring he was let in. John took him to where they were sitting & he stayed. The Ramseys didn't even know who he was. This plan, JB was Never to be taken from the basement. SBTC & Victory is about a plane. Joe Barnhill was a radial gunner in WW2 & flew on the SB2C, Two - T, so SBTC. That was a famous bomber plane & lauded for bringing the war to victory. Meyer had a poster of that plane on a wall in his room, Victory was on the side of the plane. There is a photo of Barnhill holding a framed picture of that plane. From the advanced forensics, the private investigators who never gave up & as happens with lots of crimes, people talk eventually & that’s why so much is now known - Plus, due to the crime scene techs who did an excellent job in taking all the photos, videos & collecting the DNA. The Ramseys never put one foot back in that house ever again from after JB was found & they left. The trauma was way too much, but if they Had been able to, this case would have been a Very different matter for all involved. The discoveries were everywhere if the family would have seen it all with very astute investigators. But Steve Thomas was brought into the case 3 days later because the investigators Present, refused to target the Ramseys. He later went on to Pretend that he was the lead detective. He was an ex-narcotics officer who had Zero experience with Any murder before let alone a Ransom, which Was the First crime. He thought he would make a name for himself from this high profile case. His partner was an auto-theft officer. The BPD spent their time covering up their total incompetence. They rarely had a murder & this was their first for '96. They refused help from the FBI & the CBI. They put about False & Misleading information to the media. That amount of money was near John's bonus for '95 & was paid to him in March '96. The amount was on his pay stubs each month of '96 that were in his office. The suitcase was already placed under the window & the window opened for the 2nd time after the cops left. Both done as subterfuge. Same with the fresh green leaves that were dumped at the grate & some 'caught' under it. Early that morning, separately, 3 officers failed to go in the train room door & so through to the windows & 2 failed to pull open that cellar door. There is soo much more to this case that the public don't know about. The type of air taser used has been identified. The burns on JBs back & face are from same taser. The 2nd point was under JB's ear. The burn on her face was bigger because the point was placed there more than once - control. Google the murder of Gerald Boggs ‘93 Colorado. His autopsy photo shows the Exact same burns on his face, the 2nd point was on his earlobe. The big underpants JB was found in were put on her in the early hours. Patsy, her sister, their mother & JB went to New York Xmas shopping. Patsy bought her niece a pack of 7 underpants from Bloomingdales that were called Bloomies. They were size 12-14 & had the weekdays on the waistbands. Patsy also bought from there 2 special Barbie dolls for JB. One had her own pair of underpants also called Bloomies. JB begged her mother for the pack of 7 so she had some like her doll. Patsy gave in & they were put away for JB til she would fit into them, about 8 years away. They were put in the back of a drawer in JB's bathroom. When they got home JB went to see her dog at the Barnhills & told them about her special presents. Meyer was ever listening. JB was found in the ones that had Wednesday on the waistband. It was a Wednesday that year for Xmas Day. Access the photo or the cops’ walk-thru video & see the paint tray on the carpet. Look to the left a bit at the tray & up a bit, you will see a drawing of a sinister smirking cat's face/head on the carpet, as on the note - fat cat. That bowl (with pineapple) was used at the Xmas party on the 23rd & had the icing for the gingerbread houses that all the kids were given & they decorated themselves. That was a heavy bowl & that was icing not milk. There were No fingerprints on that bowl. The silver ladle in the bowl came from a cupboard near the spiral staircase & was from a boxed set of 2 that the Ramseys received as a wedding present & had never been opened. That was chosen & placed because of the filigree on the handle that was like the filigree on some of JB's crowns. The Ramseys were finally exonerated in 2008 due to All the evidence that showed someone Was in the house, over 200 pieces of Plus the DNA that had Already cleared them & lots of others including known pedos & then John Mark Karr who said he did it. *I have left out the details of the vile acts perpetrated upon this poor child as a bit sensitive for the page.
I wish you would have discussed with the guest expert the closing signature of the Ransom letter of “Victory! SBTC”. Some believe this was in reference to John’s Naval Training Facility in the Philippines Subic Bay Training Center and others feel it represents “Saved by the Cross” and Victory over Satan
Oh, he was in the Phillipines? In the Philippines, it's not taboo to have sex with kids. I have Filipino friends who told me this. So maybe John got into some kinky stuff. Jon Bennets' private part showed clear signs of molestation.
It is the letters of John’s training facility. This kind of info, much like ppl w dementia, stays in your subconscious. John took the mind-altering medication Ambien, which was reported in early accounts before he started saying it was Melatonin
Western Michigan University has a program like that. They actually helped Crack a decades old cold case that took place in Michigan. The story was featured on one of the big crime shows, I'm drawing a blank at the moment it was either 20/20 or 48 Hours. Worth a watch.
If what happened to Jon Benet was part of a “plan”, one would think that “we” would have had the forethought to have prepared a note in advance. I also have also thought that, given the presence of pineapple at the autopsy, her death was the result of a scuffle between her and Burke when he was having a snack when they got home that night. He severely wounded her to the point that the parents did not think she would recover and they did what was necessary to save Burke.
'Foreign faction' could be interpreted as military rebels. However, 'Get rested so you don't get exhausted' clearly shows unfamiliarness with the military.
Here is my question for your expert, and you. (Love you), the 118k, “bonus”, was not that, I read was a contribution to his 401k, it’s not like they sent a check in the mail. From what I read, researched, he, John, was worth like 25 million. Was patsy an accountant? Why would she know from her husband’s company, is contribution to his 401k? This letter tells you it’s being written with stuff from their house, it’s the parents, and John, to be specific. He is the smartest guy in the room and most capable of pulling of this coverup. There are many other reasons why I think this.
The point is why would she, patsy, when he was worth millions, about a contribution, from his company to his 401k? That would make him, John the more likely person to write it.
Cina Wong's handwriting comparisons between the rn and Patsy Ramsey are very compelling. Patsy wrote that ransom note. That's not even including all the other clues in the note that points squarely to her.
Use of paragraphs, indenting, attention to punctuation such as the use of commas, and following capitalization rules for proper names and first word in a sentence. All that is missing is a semicolon!
I believe she wasnt killed there..I believe she was taken out of her room ,and house and abused ,killed and then set back in the house to stage it...Cuz those inside the home would of heard her scream...I believe the Dad was sexually abusing her and Patsy found out. And something happened that night to that poor little girl because of it..😢
now i understand why people use the term "rabbit hole" for this case. it seems like everyday you come across another plausible theory that shifts culpability from one family member to another. some days i'm even considering an intruder. a scenario involving one would make far more sense in the absence of such a ridiculous "ransom note," however.
It was written by Patsy for only John in order for him to leave the house and quickly go to a bank to get the funds. During his absence, Patsy would have time to move the body out of the house.
THey started the note with 'foereign faction' to put the blame for hte murder FAR FAR AWAY onto some fictitous foreigner(s) and NOT on ANYONE in the home. period, To me, that is the reason for the dubious claim of the kidnapper as soemone from a 'small foreign faction'
LIsten to the great Dr. Dyril Wecht's analysis of WHO killed her. It is chilling and everytying FITS_ and the REASON WHY John did it is infront of us ALL and I NEVER thought of it- he brings it togerther. AMAZING.
John Ramsey also has an older son who could have been jealous and would have known the home layout as well as having been familiar with the family and details. Burke has been suspected but why has no one seemed to consider John ramseys other son?
The suitcase was the older sons ! And had the older sons semen on a towel and doctor sues book inside the suitcase 🧳… and the older son was seen at the house by a neighbor that night .
Patsy didn't write this ransom note. Someone, who is very unique wrote the ransom note. Someone that has layered throughout multiple hidden items inside the ransom note, of which you've only picked up a few of the clews. The possessive changes in tone, the collective "We" change from the possessive "I" is not indicative of a woman scolding a man. These would be confusing if you are thinking from a bias of thinking it was Patsy. Which is fair as an exercise into the mindset of the murder. But now I suggest, trying that same exercise , and try very hard, to imagine it was written by a very unique criminal. It might be very hard to do this. Because it was made hard to do, on purpose.
One of the housekeepers that was sacked said she saw a large picture in the house of an aircraft carrier, and it had fancy writing on it saying Subic Bay Training Centre, S.B.T.C, it definitely looks like an inside job to me.
Are you aware CBS spread that dame theory Burke sued them an won because they had no facts to back up the claim. Are you also aware no DNA from JB fingernails an underpants was linked to John Patsy or Burke it was linked to 2 unknown males 1 was a Hispanic.
The problem I have with that is that the police interviewed him twice at the time and he was 9. I just cant believe (maybe the Police are just THAT BAD) but 9 year olds cannot outsmart detectives after they just murdered someone! They would slip up somehow for sure. Mother did it in my opinion. And I think it was not deliberate because father calls it a "tragedy".
Geez it’s almost like patsy over thought it and also took to many meds when she wrote this. Unbelievable. This is a book. A man did not write this, certainly not outside their home. And whoever was writing it if they were in the home wasn’t worried about them seeing them, or hurried. They took their time.
I am curious what lines in that RN you feel was written by a woman because I don't see it . I see software terminology and movie terminology and the movie terminology definitely leans towards movies that most males would watch. Sound like you are just listening and repeating what you heard on TV to me. Foreign Faction is also from a movie and that movie is Star Trek First Contact released in November of 1996. There was a Star Trek First Contact movie poster hanging in the Ramseys train room and there is a big Star Trek fan who lived in that house . 2+2 = 4. I solved what every almost every single line in that RN means. The ransom note is not bizarre at all. The problem is the perception of the people reading it and understanding whom it was written to . It took me 20+ years to understand it but I can tell you what every single line means now and I am not guessing anymore. It was not meant for law enforcement to ever see but the plan had to change. Every single line in that Ransom Note has an exact purpose and point and once you see it you will know exactly who wrote it and to whom.
I agree w you on what you explained, all you pointed out makes sense. However, I do see refined female, feminine drama french-loving touches init as well such as “attaché” complete w accent, advise to be rested sounds feminine to me, and the use of “southern common sense” amongst a few others. Movie phrases could be attributed to being very familiar with movie choices of partner. My vote is that Patsy or John killed JB while under the influence of prescription med such as Ambien, which is well-known for producing vivid nightmares that ppl even act out & doesn’t remember the next day, only vague if any recollection when family members or friends around point out. Look it up. I had a well-known acquaintance who experienced such, took Ambien went to bed, and next day was told she pulled a gun out of her closet and went downstairs where a couple of relatives were, acted “very weird”, said somewhat incoherent and paranoid things, before disappearing back upstairs. This person only remembered going to bed and waking up the next morning 😲😬🤯
If you're from a 'foreign faction' and I'm presuming here from outside of the Americas, how would you fathom the concept of someone having "that good Southern common sense of yours" unless you were familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the people in that very specific region?
Thank you. In my opinion... Between the Walkers home and the Stines on Christmas Night, JonBenet had the head trauma. There is no blood in this type of injury, but internal hemorrhaging. According to what I have found, Burke states that JonBenet walked up the stairs slowly, behind Patsy when they got home. In my opinion. They try to revive JonBenet, but she might be lapsing in consciousness. The pillow at the kitchen table, might be JonBenet;s, and might have been used to prop her up as she was fed pineapple. Was the pineapple actually chewed, or forced on JonBenet? Ransom note is crafted. Why? The family cannot report this injury. Why? In my opinion, John Ramsey might have had a sexual encounter with JonBenet. The coroner stated a pattern of vaginal erosion. The ransom note had to convince "John", to get with the program. From this point on, John Ramsey is contaminating the crime scene at least 4 times. John Ramsey then steers Det. Smidt by praying with him on the front lawn during his investigation. We then get stun guns and a broken window theorum. John Ramsey should have been charged with interference with a crime scene at least 4 times. This would have earned him 12 years in jail. Wrongful death has passed statute of limitations, of 2 years in CO. He left that broken window for over 4 months, and did not use the alarm system in the house. John would leave the home for long periods of time for work. This left a high profile child and mother at home, without the basic security a home would expect.
John Handed this notepad to the cops,does not make sense,it fits too nicely that it was written by a female,patsy and used the word hence etc.....something not right here.....frame up?
It doesnt make a difference if the note makes sense or not. Its there , and to this day there is zero.evidenve on The Ramseys. All these yourube videos on the subject and you still just dont get it. It makes zero sense that the parents wrote it , or the intruder. This women laughing in the background insinuating the Ramseys right there, what about the actual evidence ? Lol so the ransom note doesnt make sense so that illiminates the 2 male dna on Jbs body. Instead of rambling about why the note makes.no sense why dont you talk about evidence. Fail.
I understand why you're saying that but the fact is, the so-called "ransom note" is evidence. The question is, what is it's true intention and who wrote it? One thing that is clear to me is that it really makes no sense for an intruder to have written the note. For an intruder, it serves no purpose but to increase the odds of them getting discovered by the Ramseys. If John, Patsy or Burke killed Jon Benet, then the purpose of the note is to project the blame elsewhere to protect the remaining family. It's pretty much the only thing that is plausible as far as the "ransom note". If it was someone other than the Ramseys, then they must have known who it was.
You have to first ask yourself, what is the purpose of the note? You also have to stop referring to it as a ransom note because it definitely is NOT a ransom note. Jon Benet was NOT kidnapped. So what is it's purpose? If you're an intruder, it makes ZERO sense. If your an intruder and your intent is to kidnap her, it would have made far more sense to actually kidnap her. It would have taken far less time, reduced the odds of getting caught and you would have actual leverage (a still alive Jon Benet or at least not an easily discovered deceased Jon Benet). The note's existence can only be explained as an attempt to project blame elsewhere. The fact that the person not only was confident in finding everything they needed inside a dark maze of a house, they were comfortable spending the time to write a practice note and then the two and a half page final draft so the purpose wasn't to buy time. They clearly were not worried about time or being caught. The only thing that really comes across in the note is that the person who wrote the note was not happy with John. It's tempting to look for the sympathetic story line of jealous Burke hitting Jon Benet over the head with the flashlight (or a hammer as he himself said) and then the parents staging the scene with the note, etc. but think about that. They, in the moment, became experts in tying a garrote and wrapped that tightly and expertly around her neck posthumously? That's sick enough but I recall Cyril Wecht and at least one other pathologist saying that the blow to the head was posthumous. I also recall that there was evidence of prior, repeated abuse. Who would have regular access to Jon Benet? If it was not John Ramsey who did this, then John and Patsy must have known who it was.
At 3:35….You never thought “listen carefully” makes ZERO sense in the context of a NOTE ?!? How can you expect anyone to listen to this “analysis” after that doozy ?
If I found a note in my house that said “you and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities” I’d at least would be looking out the window!
The plan was to hide the body in a secret nook in the house, fake a kidnapping with a ransom note, then wait until later to dispose of the body. The plan probably makes sense to someone in a panic.

The "listen carefully" and "foreign faction" is inspired by how people think gangsters talk.
Yup. There's also something highly sophisticated happening just in the opening. There's a psychological manipulation happening called a "psycho-acoustic". The author is forcing a paradigm shift, without you even knowing.
Patsy wrote the Note !!
Yup ! 100%
John dictated it and they 'wrote' it itogether.
"Don't grow a brain, John", is also a line from the movie Speed with Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock.
Yes I love that movie watch it all the time and recognized that line immediately.🤠🤷🏼♀️🇺🇸☮️🍻🎄
And Dennis Hopper, who delivered the line.
It is one of several movie references within the ransom note, which shows a through line and in my opinion an arc of who the criminal was. Diehard, Speed, Ransom, Ordinary people. My favorite is Diehard, which is a movie that is hotly debated if it's a Christmas movie, that takes place on christmas and is about a crime that looks like one thing, but is really another.

Look into the Ambien side effects and the conspicuous omission John makes about taking it in later interviews, while at the beginning, the maid had said she knew either one or both of them took Ambien bec she saw the prescription pills bottle in their bedroom
If it was intruder, using a notepad and pen from inside the household (abd assuming they wrote it there) it should have a one page, 1-2 paragraphs at the most.
One might wonder why the note starts out with some identification and motivation reasons of the supposed “group of individuals.”
At this time we have your daughter in our possession. This statement is for the police. It is to bolster the story that she has been kidnapped and was taken alive and she is now somewhere else.
Great episode. Very helpful. Thank you.
Nobody will ever convince me that an "intruder" wrote that note... it's ridiculous to try to come up with a scenario that makes sense as far as the note... I think Burke the brother killed her and the parents covered it up... the note was written to try to throw off investigators... but the cops on scene did a terrible job controlling the scene... they let people walk around and even clean up!!! Even tho they didn't realize it was a murder... its still a kidnapping ffs... they didn't even search the house!!! They let the dad move the body and so on and so on... completely botched the investigation 💯 I'm glad you covered this... great video!!!
I Might be able to !!!
No one will convince me Patsy was stupid enough to use John's bonus amount as ransom. She was a millionaire wife a state beauty pageant winner they had it made why would they cover up whatever. After see the brutal autopsy photos I'm not even convinced family did this it was an easy money grab ransom that turned murder when JB screamed. Sadly no one has proven what really happened
@@onesolvedmystery2274you may need to scores sample of the suspects writing to do so. Maybe from court records. Or maybe a viewer lives in that area of the country?
This was so interesting. Thank you!
Great analysis. It´s also her punctuation, her grammar, her vocabulary and her writing style. Patsy even admitted that she wrote the draft note that they found (it just reads "Mr. and Mrs. R"). There is a 99.9 % chance that Patsy wrote the note.
The parents found her dead and panicked. They desperately needed something to misdirect police away from the family. That´s when the idea with the ransom note came up.
I don’t know why more isn’t made of the fact that Patsy had a degree in journalism.
This was an essay, not a “note!”
Broken glass on TOP OF THE SUITCASE and undisturbed spider web in the window opening, the garrote made with PATSY'S PAINT BRUSH
and the family DOG does NOT bark once, Solves the case for me.
Basic Known FACTS - Patsy was dressed & ready to go, found the note, read a few lines, raced back upstairs, found JB gone & screamed for John. She could only say about a note & JB gone, he said to call the police. 2 males had got in the kitchen door when the Ramseys went to the White’s Xmas dinner. They had broken in before & that’s why they knew where everything was & exactly what they were going to do. About 1.30 a.m., in her bed JB was choked with the cord, tasered on her back, wrapped in 2 white blankets & carried to the boiler room. When the cord was quickly released she screamed, a neighbour heard that because of the vent that went out the window of the boiler room, front of the house. Fibres from the frayed ends of the cord were found on JB’s sheet & are in evidence. Both perps ran out a dickie door through the garage, down to the back, waited under a pine tree then went back in. They had ran into the metal ladder & it hit the cement as they ran out. That was the 'crash' noise the neighbour's husband heard. Fresh pine needles came off one of their jackets & were found in the cellar & are in evidence. That was Not a garrotte, it was a complex bondage device & made by the 17 year old who was into causing fear & used electricity as part of the torture during vile acts. Due to this & positioning, plus JB was given a lot of water over this period of Hours, is why there is so much pee staining on the front of both undergarments & near to the waistbands. A square of carpet & underlay at the boiler room entry was cut out due to the pee stain & that’s in evidence. The nylon cord was bought as it had to be a bit slippery for the purpose. The knots were intricate & specific, then a certain number of ties on the wood & then the 3 loops. When that was done the rest of the cord was JB's Exact height. The end of what was actually a calligrapher’s tool that was used at her privates was cut off & never found because some deviants keep trophies. That item did Not belong to Patsy. JB was given pineapple fruitcake earlier & at 5.30 a.m. She did Not eat Any pineapple that was in that bowl, that was part of the staging, one of many. ‘The Stomach contains a small amount (8-10cc) of viscous to green to tan coloured thick material of no particulate matter identified’. ‘The Proximal Portion (top) of the Small Intestine contains fragmented pieces of yellow to light green-tan apparent vegetable or fruit material which may represent fragments of pineapple’. Arndt was there & told the ME pineapple was in a bowl. It takes 2 hours for stomach contents to go to the top of the small intestine. In Patsy’s recorded police statement of ’98, Thomas Haney told her the tiny bits of pineapple in the top of the small Intestine was Different to the pineapple in the bowl. When Patsy called 911 on the wall phone near the kitchen, JB was strangled to death in a rage on top of the dryer in the basement laundry. Cops coming meant no money. *There was a phone in that laundry. The one piece of tape was put over her mouth to stop fluids getting on their clothes & she was carried to the cellar. Then both fractures of the skull that were also pre-planned if the cops were called, 3 weapons & each is in evidence. The 1st - a brick on the top of the head that caused the huge open fracture down nearly the length of the skull. The 2nd - a utility knife & small stabs to the skull in a shape. The tool used was broken off & not found. The 3rd - was the rounded handle end of the black steel kid's ball bat & that caused the hole that the stabs started. They had planned if the cops were called, they didn't plan that Patsy would still be on the phone. That phone was in the alcove near to where they had to get out the basement door & then their exit door. Glenn Meyer was the author of the note & he organised it all for money with 3 from the house on the corner. One had a huge grudge against John in relation to a family business in Michigan. All was set up to incriminate all Ramseys if no cash was paid. Their back up for money was the taking of photos. Many items were brought into the house & staged. Many items were taken from cupboards & drawers & staged all over the house, basement & a few things outside. Meyer was secretly living in the Barnhill's basement across the road. He got to know a great deal about the Ramseys. JB's dog was mostly kept there & the kids & Patsy were over there often. Patsy gave the Barnhills many cards, letters & notes in her print writing over the years. It's easy to copy print writing & he only had to do Some letters like hers into the note as it was Supposed to look like she was trying to disguise her writing which is Impossible to do for near 3 pages & the Real experts know that fact. From his vantage point Meyer could see through both staircase windows & knew Patsy & John came down the back stairs each morning to make coffee. The note was spread out so all 3 pages would be seen, they wanted their money. The notepad was taken at the Xmas party on the 23rd. Meyer went over saying he was looking for the Barnhills worried about them ensuring he was let in. John took him to where they were sitting & he stayed. The Ramseys didn't even know who he was. This plan, JB was Never to be taken from the basement. SBTC & Victory is about a plane. Joe Barnhill was a radial gunner in WW2 & flew on the SB2C, Two - T, so SBTC. That was a famous bomber plane & lauded for bringing the war to victory. Meyer had a poster of that plane on a wall in his room, Victory was on the side of the plane. There is a photo of Barnhill holding a framed picture of that plane. From the advanced forensics, the private investigators who never gave up & as happens with lots of crimes, people talk eventually & that’s why so much is now known - Plus, due to the crime scene techs who did an excellent job in taking all the photos, videos & collecting the DNA. The Ramseys never put one foot back in that house ever again from after JB was found & they left. The trauma was way too much, but if they Had been able to, this case would have been a Very different matter for all involved. The discoveries were everywhere if the family would have seen it all with very astute investigators. But Steve Thomas was brought into the case 3 days later because the investigators Present, refused to target the Ramseys. He later went on to Pretend that he was the lead detective. He was an ex-narcotics officer who had Zero experience with Any murder before let alone a Ransom, which Was the First crime. He thought he would make a name for himself from this high profile case. His partner was an auto-theft officer. The BPD spent their time covering up their total incompetence. They rarely had a murder & this was their first for '96. They refused help from the FBI & the CBI. They put about False & Misleading information to the media. That amount of money was near John's bonus for '95 & was paid to him in March '96. The amount was on his pay stubs each month of '96 that were in his office. The suitcase was already placed under the window & the window opened for the 2nd time after the cops left. Both done as subterfuge. Same with the fresh green leaves that were dumped at the grate & some 'caught' under it. Early that morning, separately, 3 officers failed to go in the train room door & so through to the windows & 2 failed to pull open that cellar door. There is soo much more to this case that the public don't know about. The type of air taser used has been identified. The burns on JBs back & face are from same taser. The 2nd point was under JB's ear. The burn on her face was bigger because the point was placed there more than once - control. Google the murder of Gerald Boggs ‘93 Colorado. His autopsy photo shows the Exact same burns on his face, the 2nd point was on his earlobe. The big underpants JB was found in were put on her in the early hours. Patsy, her sister, their mother & JB went to New York Xmas shopping. Patsy bought her niece a pack of 7 underpants from Bloomingdales that were called Bloomies. They were size 12-14 & had the weekdays on the waistbands. Patsy also bought from there 2 special Barbie dolls for JB. One had her own pair of underpants also called Bloomies. JB begged her mother for the pack of 7 so she had some like her doll. Patsy gave in & they were put away for JB til she would fit into them, about 8 years away. They were put in the back of a drawer in JB's bathroom. When they got home JB went to see her dog at the Barnhills & told them about her special presents. Meyer was ever listening. JB was found in the ones that had Wednesday on the waistband. It was a Wednesday that year for Xmas Day. Access the photo or the cops’ walk-thru video & see the paint tray on the carpet. Look to the left a bit at the tray & up a bit, you will see a drawing of a sinister smirking cat's face/head on the carpet, as on the note - fat cat. That bowl (with pineapple) was used at the Xmas party on the 23rd & had the icing for the gingerbread houses that all the kids were given & they decorated themselves. That was a heavy bowl & that was icing not milk. There were No fingerprints on that bowl. The silver ladle in the bowl came from a cupboard near the spiral staircase & was from a boxed set of 2 that the Ramseys received as a wedding present & had never been opened. That was chosen & placed because of the filigree on the handle that was like the filigree on some of JB's crowns. The Ramseys were finally exonerated in 2008 due to All the evidence that showed someone Was in the house, over 200 pieces of Plus the DNA that had Already cleared them & lots of others including known pedos & then John Mark Karr who said he did it. *I have left out the details of the vile acts perpetrated upon this poor child as a bit sensitive for the page.
I wish you would have discussed with the guest expert the closing signature of the Ransom letter of “Victory! SBTC”. Some believe this was in reference to John’s Naval Training Facility in the Philippines Subic Bay Training Center and others feel it represents “Saved by the Cross” and Victory over Satan
Oh, he was in the Phillipines? In the Philippines, it's not taboo to have sex with kids. I have Filipino friends who told me this. So maybe John got into some kinky stuff. Jon Bennets' private part showed clear signs of molestation.
It is the letters of John’s training facility. This kind of info, much like ppl w dementia, stays in your subconscious. John took the mind-altering medication Ambien, which was reported in early accounts before he started saying it was Melatonin
Western Michigan University has a program like that. They actually helped Crack a decades old cold case that took place in Michigan. The story was featured on one of the big crime shows, I'm drawing a blank at the moment it was either 20/20 or 48 Hours. Worth a watch.
If what happened to Jon Benet was part of a “plan”, one would think that “we” would have had the forethought to have prepared a note in advance. I also have also thought that, given the presence of pineapple at the autopsy, her death was the result of a scuffle between her and Burke when he was having a snack when they got home that night. He severely wounded her to the point that the parents did not think she would recover and they did what was necessary to save Burke.
'Foreign faction' could be interpreted as military rebels.
However, 'Get rested so you don't get exhausted' clearly shows unfamiliarness with the military.
Here is my question for your expert, and you. (Love you), the 118k, “bonus”, was not that, I read was a contribution to his 401k, it’s not like they sent a check in the mail. From what I read, researched, he, John, was worth like 25 million. Was patsy an accountant? Why would she know from her husband’s company, is contribution to his 401k? This letter tells you it’s being written with stuff from their house, it’s the parents, and John, to be specific. He is the smartest guy in the room and most capable of pulling of this coverup. There are many other reasons why I think this.
It was a bonus
Whatever he did with it I’m not sure of
The point is why would she, patsy, when he was worth millions, about a contribution, from his company to his 401k? That would make him, John the more likely person to write it.
The word particularly is a word Patsy used in her interview 🤔
Patsy used to use the word hence. Hence is old English it's not used very much. The ransom note has the word hence.
Cina Wong's handwriting comparisons between the rn and Patsy Ramsey are very compelling. Patsy wrote that ransom note. That's not even including all the other clues in the note that points squarely to her.
Use of paragraphs, indenting, attention to punctuation such as the use of commas, and following capitalization rules for proper names and first word in a sentence. All that is missing is a semicolon!
Oh yes! An interesting thing I'd like to add is Patsy attained a B.A in journalism in 1978.....
I believe she wasnt killed there..I believe she was taken out of her room ,and house and abused ,killed and then set back in the house to stage it...Cuz those inside the home would of heard her scream...I believe the Dad was sexually abusing her and Patsy found out. And something happened that night to that poor little girl because of it..😢
now i understand why people use the term "rabbit hole" for this case. it seems like everyday you come across another plausible theory that shifts culpability from one family member to another. some days i'm even considering an intruder. a scenario involving one would make far more sense in the absence of such a ridiculous "ransom note," however.
It was written by Patsy for only John in order for him to leave the house and quickly go to a bank to get the funds. During his absence, Patsy would have time to move the body out of the house.
Page 2: "Denied", not "deprived."
THey started the note with 'foereign faction' to put the blame for hte murder FAR FAR AWAY onto some fictitous foreigner(s) and NOT on ANYONE in the home. period, To me, that is the reason for the dubious claim of the kidnapper as soemone from a 'small foreign faction'
Had the killer possibly been writing this as he waited for the family to return from their Christmas Eve party?
LIsten to the great Dr. Dyril Wecht's analysis of WHO killed her. It is chilling and everytying FITS_ and the REASON WHY John did it is infront of us ALL and I NEVER thought of it- he brings it togerther. AMAZING.
John Ramsey also has an older son who could have been jealous and would have known the home layout as well as having been familiar with the family and details. Burke has been suspected but why has no one seemed to consider John ramseys other son?
The older son was probably interrogated early on and had proof of his geographic location during the time period of the crime. Perhaps.
Hi! I believe the older son had a strong alibi.
Because he wasn't in Colorado when the crime occured.
The suitcase was the older sons ! And had the older sons semen on a towel and doctor sues book inside the suitcase 🧳… and the older son was seen at the house by a neighbor that night .
Patsy didn't write this ransom note. Someone, who is very unique wrote the ransom note. Someone that has layered throughout multiple hidden items inside the ransom note, of which you've only picked up a few of the clews. The possessive changes in tone, the collective "We" change from the possessive "I" is not indicative of a woman scolding a man. These would be confusing if you are thinking from a bias of thinking it was Patsy. Which is fair as an exercise into the mindset of the murder. But now I suggest, trying that same exercise , and try very hard, to imagine it was written by a very unique criminal. It might be very hard to do this. Because it was made hard to do, on purpose.
One of the housekeepers that was sacked said she saw a large picture in the house of an aircraft carrier, and it had fancy writing on it saying Subic Bay Training Centre, S.B.T.C, it definitely looks like an inside job to me.
Burke. He did it. Parents covered it up.
Are you aware CBS spread that dame theory Burke sued them an won because they had no facts to back up the claim. Are you also aware no DNA from JB fingernails an underpants was linked to John Patsy or Burke it was linked to 2 unknown males 1 was a Hispanic.
The problem I have with that is that the police interviewed him twice at the time and he was 9. I just cant believe (maybe the Police are just THAT BAD) but 9 year olds cannot outsmart detectives after they just murdered someone! They would slip up somehow for sure. Mother did it in my opinion. And I think it was not deliberate because father calls it a "tragedy".
The BDI theory is the malignant cancer cell of the JonBenet Ramsey murder case.
@@KowBoySpaceHe was almost 10.
Look up Chris Todd he did a great investigation on this case. The guys real good you should interview him!
Geez it’s almost like patsy over thought it and also took to many meds when she wrote this. Unbelievable. This is a book. A man did not write this, certainly not outside their home. And whoever was writing it if they were in the home wasn’t worried about them seeing them, or hurried. They took their time.
I am curious what lines in that RN you feel was written by a woman because I don't see it . I see software terminology and movie terminology and the movie terminology definitely leans towards movies that most males would watch. Sound like you are just listening and repeating what you heard on TV to me.
Foreign Faction is also from a movie and that movie is Star Trek First Contact released in November of 1996. There was a Star Trek First Contact movie poster hanging in the Ramseys train room and there is a big Star Trek fan who lived in that house .
2+2 = 4.
I solved what every almost every single line in that RN means.
The ransom note is not bizarre at all. The problem is the perception of the people reading it and understanding whom it was written to . It took me 20+ years to understand it but I can tell you what every single line means now and I am not guessing anymore.
It was not meant for law enforcement to ever see but the plan had to change.
Every single line in that Ransom Note has an exact purpose and point and once you see it you will know exactly who wrote it and to whom.
I agree w you on what you explained, all you pointed out makes sense. However, I do see refined female, feminine drama french-loving touches init as well such as “attaché” complete w accent, advise to be rested sounds feminine to me, and the use of “southern common sense” amongst a few others. Movie phrases could be attributed to being very familiar with movie choices of partner. My vote is that Patsy or John killed JB while under the influence of prescription med such as Ambien, which is well-known for producing vivid nightmares that ppl even act out & doesn’t remember the next day, only vague if any recollection when family members or friends around point out. Look it up. I had a well-known acquaintance who experienced such, took Ambien went to bed, and next day was told she pulled a gun out of her closet and went downstairs where a couple of relatives were, acted “very weird”, said somewhat incoherent and paranoid things, before disappearing back upstairs. This person only remembered going to bed and waking up the next morning 😲😬🤯
If you're from a 'foreign faction' and I'm presuming here from outside of the Americas, how would you fathom the concept of someone having "that good Southern common sense of yours" unless you were familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the people in that very specific region?
Thank you. In my opinion...
Between the Walkers home and the Stines on Christmas Night, JonBenet had the head trauma. There is no blood in this type of injury, but internal hemorrhaging. According to what I have found, Burke states that JonBenet walked up the stairs slowly, behind Patsy when they got home.
In my opinion.
They try to revive JonBenet, but she might be lapsing in consciousness.
The pillow at the kitchen table, might be JonBenet;s, and might have been used to prop her up as she was fed pineapple.
Was the pineapple actually chewed, or forced on JonBenet?
Ransom note is crafted. Why?
The family cannot report this injury. Why?
In my opinion, John Ramsey might have had a sexual encounter with JonBenet. The coroner stated a pattern of vaginal erosion.
The ransom note had to convince "John", to get with the program.
From this point on, John Ramsey is contaminating the crime scene at least 4 times. John Ramsey then steers Det. Smidt by praying with him on the front lawn during his investigation. We then get stun guns and a broken window theorum.
John Ramsey should have been charged with interference with a crime scene at least 4 times. This would have earned him 12 years in jail.
Wrongful death has passed statute of limitations, of 2 years in CO.
He left that broken window for over 4 months, and did not use the alarm system in the house. John would leave the home for long periods of time for work. This left a high profile child and mother at home, without the basic security a home would expect.
John Handed this notepad to the cops,does not make sense,it fits too nicely that it was written by a female,patsy and used the word hence etc.....something not right here.....frame up?
👍
It doesnt make a difference if the note makes sense or not. Its there , and to this day there is zero.evidenve on The Ramseys. All these yourube videos on the subject and you still just dont get it. It makes zero sense that the parents wrote it , or the intruder. This women laughing in the background insinuating the Ramseys right there, what about the actual evidence ? Lol so the ransom note doesnt make sense so that illiminates the 2 male dna on Jbs body. Instead of rambling about why the note makes.no sense why dont you talk about evidence. Fail.
I understand why you're saying that but the fact is, the so-called "ransom note" is evidence. The question is, what is it's true intention and who wrote it? One thing that is clear to me is that it really makes no sense for an intruder to have written the note. For an intruder, it serves no purpose but to increase the odds of them getting discovered by the Ramseys. If John, Patsy or Burke killed Jon Benet, then the purpose of the note is to project the blame elsewhere to protect the remaining family. It's pretty much the only thing that is plausible as far as the "ransom note". If it was someone other than the Ramseys, then they must have known who it was.
All theories no facts.
No way was this a woman. NO. WAY. Beheaded?? No.
You have to first ask yourself, what is the purpose of the note? You also have to stop referring to it as a ransom note because it definitely is NOT a ransom note. Jon Benet was NOT kidnapped. So what is it's purpose? If you're an intruder, it makes ZERO sense. If your an intruder and your intent is to kidnap her, it would have made far more sense to actually kidnap her. It would have taken far less time, reduced the odds of getting caught and you would have actual leverage (a still alive Jon Benet or at least not an easily discovered deceased Jon Benet). The note's existence can only be explained as an attempt to project blame elsewhere. The fact that the person not only was confident in finding everything they needed inside a dark maze of a house, they were comfortable spending the time to write a practice note and then the two and a half page final draft so the purpose wasn't to buy time. They clearly were not worried about time or being caught. The only thing that really comes across in the note is that the person who wrote the note was not happy with John. It's tempting to look for the sympathetic story line of jealous Burke hitting Jon Benet over the head with the flashlight (or a hammer as he himself said) and then the parents staging the scene with the note, etc. but think about that. They, in the moment, became experts in tying a garrote and wrapped that tightly and expertly around her neck posthumously? That's sick enough but I recall Cyril Wecht and at least one other pathologist saying that the blow to the head was posthumous. I also recall that there was evidence of prior, repeated abuse. Who would have regular access to Jon Benet? If it was not John Ramsey who did this, then John and Patsy must have known who it was.
At 3:35….You never thought “listen carefully” makes ZERO sense in the context of a NOTE ?!? How can you expect anyone to listen to this “analysis” after that doozy ?
