JonBenet Ramsey subreddit. Posting this here so I can use my response as a copy-and-paste from now on. I've replied with this same response at least 100 times. That is literally 100 times or more.
Sigh. My response for the millionth time. RDI (Ramseys Did It). I do NOT subscribe to that theory.
These parents are not the killers. And bless Patsy; may she RIP. She died while being accused of murdering her beloved Jonbenet by the entire world.
Reply #1 In reference to the very line of your comment. Because the intruder theory actually makes more sense. RDI would like to make people believe that the intruder theory is the most ridiculous thing ever. But if one takes the time to dissect this, it is far more plausible that an intruder invaded that home, killed JonBenet, and got away with murder. RDI would have people believe that their theories make far more sense. But they really don't. Not by a long shot. These parents have no history of anything even remotely linked to violence, tempers, or sexual deviancy. And then out of all the days in the entire world, THIS NIGHT... Xmas night 1996 is when a so-called accident just happened to occur. On THIS NIGHT, someone decided to lose their temper. Really take a look at the events the Ramseys reported and tell me which part of their story does not seem plausible. Assume that their account of the story from the moment they leave for the party to the moment the officers arrived at their door on the 26th is the truth. It makes so much sense what they said; it's unreal. Anyway, to answer your question, "That same objection applies to an intruder. You claim 'something made him not do it", see my next comment.
Reply #2 Yes, you are right. Why would an intruder write a ransom kidnapping letter if there was no kidnapping involved? More on that below.
"It makes no sense whatsoever to leave a ransom note that could potentially identify you if you can't take the body."
And why would the Ramseys do the same thing? Take a stab at answering that for me.
I have posted my theory a zillion times. I believe the killer did not plan or foresee that his plan of invading this house, snatching the little girl, and running out of the house with her into a waiting car wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. For one, I don't think he had a car, and I think he lived up the street within walking distance. Alternatively, the idea that he could just run up those spiral stairs, take her from her bed (I don't believe in the stun gun theory)... running down those spiral stairs and down to the butler kitchen... and out the door... into the night walking side by side with Jonbenet is the most ridiculous thing ever. Not to mention, taking a chance that neighbors could see him either going in or out or being caught red-handed by the family is a bold move.
Nevertheless, and despite all of that, what I think is that the person was mentally ill, a psycho who's watched one too many ransom kidnapping movies, as evidenced by the bizarre, fantastical ransom note. He's also a pedophile who intended to sexually assault her as part of his plan.
He's been in that house many times before, in my theory, whenever the Ramseys left the house. He could actually see them leave the house, and he would go inside. I do not believe the crime was sexually motivated, nor do I believe he used the paintbrush (it was digital penetration) because if it was sexually motivated, there wouldn't be a kidnapping. Graphic warning: And maybe she would be found unclothed, with her pants around her ankles, with far more damage or bleeding (poor JonBenet, I'm so sorry this is so graphic).
So because he's crazy and unhinged, he thought he could pull this off. And pull it off with an aura of arrogance. He was calling the shots and addressing John in the letter with disrespect.
In my theory, he puts the note on the spiral staircase with the intent to take her. I am uncertain if he truly wanted the money and if that was his MO. I don't think so. Once he takes her out of the room, instead of running out the door with her, there was literally a door at the bottom of the spiral staircase and an exterior door at the bottom of the front stairs...(or the butler kitchen)... He runs to the basement with her. The SUITCASE is how he probably planned to take her out. I do not subscribe to any of this tiny basement window basement.
What went wrong? Maybe JonBenet was fighting back, screaming, making noise; he couldn't fit her in the suitcase. She's making noise, and he could get caught at any moment. He decides to kill her right then because she could identify him. He grabbed the paintbrush, broke it to make the garrotte (and quickly). To make sure she was dead (she was pretty much already dead) he delivers the final blow to the head. Then he runs out, leaving the note behind.
Why would Patsy sit there and write a 2 1/2 page note knowing that her true handwriting might reveal itself the longer the note? Answer me that. See, the thing is, the Boulder Police Department gave them nothing to be confident about. The Ramseys are expecting Law Enforcement to find the killer of their daughter. And law enforcement believed THEY were the killers. I don't blame them one bit.
The Ramseys, according to RDI folks, write the note to make it look like a kidnapping. They want law enforcement to believe a foreign faction took their daughter. "We have your daughter," they wrote, according to RDI.
Then they call the cops knowing full well the body will be found. Essentially, this ruins their plan in saying a kidnapper took her. Their plan fails immediately. In fact, they didn't need a ransom note at all. All they had to do was call 911 (after disposing of the body) to say someone went into their home and kidnapped their child. When LE arrives, the body is not there. No ridiculous ransom note required.
This is why Patsy writing the note is absurd. The ransom did not help them at all. Because law enforcement would just say, "You want us to believe a kidnapper took her when the murdered body is right here? Law Enforcement rejected the ransom note immediately.
Either it's a kidnapping, and they take the body, or it's a murder. It can't be both.
It can, however, be a planned kidnapping turned murder by an intruder. See my comment and the theory I wrote to SeaBiscuit elsewhere in this thread.
(These people first start with the premise that the parents did it, then they look for invented evidence to prove their absurd theories. It's exhausting.
