I blame the media! And the radio! and the made-for-tv-movie industries!

ahhhhhh!

I still think it was the brother and the parents covered it up, but thats just me.

Tolja.

Absolutely no way. The brother is a sweet, sweet kid.

Bullshit.

Whatever. You can't blame the police and other people for suspecting Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay. At the very least, they were guilty of being creepily narcissistic parents who abused their kid by putting her in pageants where very young girls were made up to look as much as possible like grown women.

I agree but the vast majority of pageant parents don't kills their children, so I don't see why that should contribute to suspicion.

I feel sorry that they had to live under scrutiny for 12 years. bad enough to lose a child, but to be under suspicion . . .

We can still scorn them for the beauty pagent thing, right? RIGHT?!?!

I just moved to Boulder, CO a few weeks ago and I am totally going to visit her grave. I'll conjure up some spirits for ya!

I agree with the brother theory. Why would you want to visit her grave?

To pee on it, Lufti style, of course.

Lisa (tinkle) you just gave me the laugh of the week. I lufti you.

Lauren, I think JonBenet is buried in the Atlanta area - weren't the Ramseys from that area before they lived in Colorado.

I think we vilified the family for 12 years for three primary reasons:

1) The house was unlocked because Boulder was traditionally a very, very safe city. The fact that her body was found IN the house was beyond belief.

2) They were creepy stage parents.

3) Misinformation and overzealous media/police coverage and handling of the case destroyed the Ramseys' reputation from the outset.

But being creepy stage parents doesn't make them killers. It just makes them narcissistic.

The Ramsays dressed and painted their little bitty girl up like a Vegas strumpet and schlepped her from one "pageant" to another, to be ogled by men (and women) who become judges in these things because they love ogling little bitty girls dressed like Vegas strumpets. This "Little Beauty" pageant racket is a notorious magnet for pedophiles, and anyone who would subject their child to such a thing is a child exploiter at the very least if not a downright abuser, and has a lot to answer for. The Ramsays are awful people.

Welcome, Lauren! I live down the road in Erie. She was murdered by someone the parents knew, if it wasn't them. All the DNA testing that they did was two tiny samples that could have been left by one of the thousands of people present at the crime scene. Seriously, when someone kills your kid and you refuse to answer police questions so that they can move forward and find the killer, when you skip town ASAP and when THEY FIND A "PRACTICE" RANSOM NOTE IN YOUR OWN HOME, something's wrong. That and the kid was missing for hours before they found her. I'm sorry, but any parent would have gone through the entire house looking for their kid. I've checked damn cabinets when my kid wouldn't answer me, okay? It's absurd. The beauty queen stuff was bad enough, but there's no doubt that they knew more than they shared.

What evidence is there that the brother did it? Wasn't he like 8 or 9 at the time?

All those years living under scrutiny, on top of losing their daughter, killed her mother and is slowly killing her father. The police department should be ashamed of their mistakes.

Cancer killed her mom. Probably from too much black hair dye, Aquanet and diet pills.

Lale, the DNA extracted from the touch process matched blood on her pajamas as well as skin cells under her fingernails…I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

We need Bill Kurtis' comments on this, stat!

People who are continuously grieving suffer from more untimely caner attacks. It would kill be if I lost a child.

Oh! Sign me up for a timely cancer attack. How about next Thursday, say 1-ish? I'll pencil that in.

I just tinkled in my pants, Lisa. Cait, thanks for putting me in my place. I am by no means a JonBenet Ramsay expert, as evidenced by the way I've chosen to misspell her last name. However, I'm tellin ya, the parents knew. They knew. And -eww- the worst part of all this is that one of the news stations here obtained a quote from that freak John Mark Carr. Who cares what that pedophile thinks? (He didn't kill JonBenet, but he is, in fact, a pedophile.)

The parents killed her the moment they decided she was a commodity doll and not a 6 year old child.

I'm sorry, Lale - my only intention was just to point out the fact that tabloid media created so much misinformation around this case that of course it was easy to vilify her parents. And God knows they didn't help matters much with their inherent creepiness, right? :(

Commodity Dolls! 9.99 plus S&H! Get your own Commodity Doll now!!

Sorry to be picking on you molly, I just couldn't resist. Nothing personal.

Eff that. I want a commodity action figure. Which I will keep sealed to preserve its value.

Do you all work for the DA'S office or is all your evidence from the National Enquirer? Please file under "speculation" and not "evidence". An excellent example of how the less intelligent are easily manipulated by the media. Ola!

::looks around:: are we in a court of law? No? We are on a GOSSIP site? Then speculation is "admissible" as it were. An excellent example of self-satisfied jerks (who, although they are the smartest person they know, do not, in fact, understand that it doens't actually make one smart - it just means you have dumb friends) looking for avenues to call others idiots.

Emma, way to bring a lit cigarette to a harmless gasoline fight.

Winkles, Lisa. WINKLES. ;)

thats so mean- you stupid idiots. do you not care for the poor sweerheart? shes dead and all you can think about is calling her names. she was such a pretty girl and its ashame shes not with us today. your ALL sick.
