JonBenet Ramsey - Do you think her Mother murdered her?

[JanetRose]

Someone I know believes so - that her mother was a perfectist and wanted her daughter to be perfect but since she was a bed-wetter and had recently lost a beauty contest, the mother probably snapped.

 

[kdibattista]

Nope... I don't think it was either of them

 

[Cindyluwho]

The evidence and crime scene were so messed up with folks coming and going that we'll never know for sure. If she did, I hope she's in hell right now. If she didn't then I hope she is resting in peace.

 

[Shugardrawers]

No I don't. That poor woman spent the last 10 years of her life as an outcast when she's been greiving the loss of her beautiful daughter. I feel so bad for her and her family. Maybe because she and I have/had the same kind of cancer but I thought she was innocent all along. I do think it was someone who knew them pretty well but no idea who that might have been.

I've heard that theory as well as that her brother accidently killed her. Although the investigation was botched in many ways I do think it was an inside job and not the act of a random stranger. It's one of those things that we'll just never know.

Sadly, some mothers are capable of murdering their own children so it wouldn't really surprise me. She did appear to like to control her daughter.

 

[Cool-Beans]

Nope, I think the brother did. Not 100% sure or anything, but if I had to bet, that's where my money would be.

I think Patsy was involved at least in the coverup of the crime, if not the actual murder. The note in her handwriting, her paintbrushes used to assault and strangle Jon-Benet, and the hidden location of Jon-Benet's body (in a room that even the police couldn't find until the family led them there) pretty much point to it being an inside job so to speak.

 

[HayGan]

I truly believe that if she didn't do it that she DEFINATELY knew who did.

 

[CheshireVal]

I've always thought the brother did it and the mom knew about it and covered for him.

 

[MoniqueU]

I heard the blow to the skull was like dropping her from an 8 story building, hardly the kind of force her brother then 10 would have been capable of using.
I am not sure which one of them actually did it but I think both parents were in on the coverup.

 

[Gonz Of Lancashire]

Am I right in assuming that the mother is now dead? Seen a few documentaries about this case, and to be honest, I find the whole beauty pageant for little girls thing is a little too weird for my liking.

 

[Pooh Crew]

I've read a couple books on the subject, and I just do not believe either of the Ramseys had anything to do with harming their daughter. And even if she had gotten mad and "snapped" over a bed-wetting issue, I do not believe for a second that she could have done all the other horrible things that were done to that precious child. I mean, at that point in her life, she was not under any other real stressful situations...her cancer was in remission, and having gone through a cancer scare myself, it only makes family more precious. They were fine financially, their marriage was stable, but a wet bed could make someone kill their child? Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't think so.

I thought there had been a fairly recent discovery of DNA on the underwear that was being tested, but that it definitely ruled out both parents? Something about how it was too small to be tested before?

 

[Cool-Beans]

Yes, the mother died. Cancer.

 

[Minnie824]

Yes, I think the mother, Patsy, killed her daughter. I also think the stress from the coverup was a contributing factor, along w/the cancer, that led to her death.

 

[Patty3]

No, I do not think that Patsy killed her daughter.

I agree. I'm sure JonBenet was a beautiful child when allowed to look normal, but she was downright creepy all made up.

I heard Dr Henry Lee last night on Greta I think it was say that DNA could have gotten there from a simple DNA transfer from whoever handled it in the shop where they made the underwear or the store. That is how sensitve the DNA tests are nowadays.

 

[lindakmonty]

I don't think any of the family was involved. I use to watch everything on their story... it is such a shame their family had to live such a nightmare.

 

[Gonz Of Lancashire]

This whole pageant thing was the reason why I thought she or her husband were guilty. Now I'm not going to call the parents paedophiles, but to dress your daughter up as a grown woman for other adults to look at her and judge her on her looks doesn't seem right. If it was an accident, an assault by her brother or murdered by an outsider, I seem to find myself looking back to the mother and father due to behaviour that is certainly not the norm. The truth imo will never be known.
