The “Burke Did It” theory has always been that Burke killed Jonbenet, but the parents fashioned the garrote and strangled her postmortem to make it look like a stranger did it.

I don’t know. The taser reenactment they did was really violent...and that was on a grown man (both over clothes and on bare skin). The reasoning on the special is that someone might have used the train track to jab/poke at JonBenet’s body to see if she was still alive. But the implication was that only a child would…

YES! The letter analysis was one of the best parts for me.

Handwriting analysis much like blood splatter analysis is more an art than a science. The DNA evidence on the underwear is not in the CODIS database, and it is most likely some poor garment worker in Hong Kong circa 1995/1996.. The underwear was straight out of the wrapper, (We know this because of the Ramsey’s maid…

The whole murder case points to the family. The Autopsy report is an excellent road map into this case, from JB’s empty bladder, to the pineapple in her upper Gastro Intestinal Tract, to the petechial hemorrhages that showed what caused JonBenet’s death. There was no evidence of an intruder. There are theories on…

“how Patsy probably discovered the whole thing. It would make sense as to why she had the same clothes on”

“According to CBS forensic specialist she was actually brain dead with the hit to the head.”

If Patsy had used just 1/10th the imagination that went into that “ransom” letter, she could have come up with a perfectly good lie to tell the ER doctors.

Gen Why is what pushed me to the “Burke did it” theory too.

I saw Burke’s interview with Dr. Phil and oh, boy. He comes off as super creepy. People say he might have Asperger Syndrome which would explained his weird behavior and inappropriate reactions and facial expressions. I imagine being a suspect since you were 9 doesn’t do much for your psychological and emotional…

Yes they could have just called 911. Burke never would have been charged with anything, even if he purposely hit her. He would have been too young to charge.

You’re right about the BPD’s ineptness--Linda Arndt especially. Letting John Ramsey go missing for an hour and a half, telling him to go off unescorted to search the house, moving JB’s body a second time. What an idiot.

Except the behavior was the same as when he was interviewed by a psychologist and the police shortly after the murder. Plus he smeared poop on stuff, red flag!

My jaw dropped. I was honestly shocked he would say that even though he is creepy AF.

i dont know which show interviewed burke but, oh.my.God.

So Jonbenet had partially digested pineapple in her stomach, suggesting that she had eaten it shortly before her death. There was a bowl of pineapple and milk (???) on the kitchen table with Burke and Patsy’s prints on it. So the detective was asking Burke general questions about what they ate for snacks, if he liked…

...who told Dr. Phil that the real injustice was him being falsely accused and not his daughter dying

1. I had never thought Burke did it, I always thought it was either John or an intruder, but this special convinced me. At first I thought it was creepy to reenact the murder-by-flashlight with a fake skull and pig skin, but when they brought out the child I understood why it was necessary. Once you realize that a…

Highly recommend James Kolar’s Foreign Faction, which goes more in depth into the physical evidence as well as the inconsistencies in the Ramseys’ statements.

Having watched this and read about all of the other facts through the years (a few good podcasts as well) I just don’t think the intruder angle works. Especially the ransom note. I think Patsy took it to her grave tbh. The murder seemed like a cover up and the scene itself was staged. Perhaps Burke did something and…
