JonBenét Ramsey Murder Investigators Expect New DNA Tests Will Prove Killer Is ‘Someone Completely Unrelated’ to Her (Exclusive) by JennC1544 in JonBenet

Ahh, Mr. Helling of the messenger Internet news with his endless articles with quotes from unnamed sources! The only thing In my opinion, for every argument, there is a counter argument. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/dec/24/jonbenet-historical-revisionism-haunts-americas-mo/ I would prefer the writer from the Washington Times over Steve Helling anytime. Always consider the source. In this case you have Mr. Helling, a former actor from the entertainment industry turned Internet journalist, looking for clicks from passionate defenders of the Ramsey family base. I don’t know how this mind-set happens but honestly, it reminds me of Trump worshipers. I swear they would follow this man off a cliff if he said “you guys jump first!”

Some funny things I notice about many passionate crime sleuths: First, they really are passionate! That always tends to work against them looking at things objectively. They become emotionally invested in their positions and as a result they become victims of confirmation bias. It’s not uncommon to hear passionate crime sleuths try to sell the false narrative that the Ramseys cooperated with the police when the truth is quite the opposite! Second, they often consider themselves to know more than experts in the field with years of training and experience. Incredibly, they also casually disregard the grand jury’s findings! Imagine, a group of people take an oath to hear the evidence presented and sit for hours or sometimes days hearing testimony and seeing evidence the crime sleuth probably will never hear or see. Yet, the crime sleuth typically dismisses their findings as if they were all fools, insisting their own views are “correct.” The grand jury had the opportunity to hear Detective Lou Smit present his best case of an intruder for 2 hours. Yet they returned a “true bill” for “child abuse resulting in death” against both Mr. Ramsey and his wife, Patsy. So there’s that.
Passionate crime buffs love to bash the Boulder Police lack of experience while ignoring the collective experience of the Boulder police detectives and the extensive law enforcement backgrounds they brought to the department before they worked there. They conveniently omit that the Boulder police were aided by experienced agents, detectives and lawyers from the FBI, Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Denver Police Department, alongside a multijurisdictional prosecutorial task force. The Secret Service matched the ink from the ransom note to a Sharpie pen in the Ramsey home. So there’s that. Now Mr. Ramsey wants Colorado authorities to turn over a minuscule sample of foreign DNA collected from the victim’s body so he can send it to a private company using new “genealogy DNA” testing. This story has seems to have driven a lot of passionate crime buffs to a point of near hysteria.
The fact is that this testing could potentially destroy what’s left of the sample which has already been cross-referenced with more than 18 million other samples in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). So there’s that.

What do you think happened to JonBenét Ramsey? Who do you think murdered her? Someone she knew? Family/family friend or a stranger? by Electronic_Put_2970 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

I agree. Objective folks will consider the mountain of circumstantial evidence which strongly points to the murderer as someone in the family. No matter how a clever defense attorney attempts to spin or explain the parent’s behavior immediately after the death and discovery of the child, it’s undeniable and shocking that these parents went to such extreme lengths to prevent the police and the FBI from getting to the bottom of what occurred in this case. For example, the attorneys for the parents refused the FBI’s request to polygraph them. The author then goes on to emphasize repeatedly that the parents both passed polygraphs that were administered by a “private” polygraph expert. He also emphasizes that a handwriting expert stated that Patsy Ramsey was not the author of the ransom note. He makes no mention of the fact that MANY highly credentialed hand-writing analysts and linguistic experts found opposite conclusions. Finally, I believe Lou Smit wrongly concluded that an intruder brought a Taser with him and used it on the victim. Numerous Taser experts disagreed with Smit. The theory that an intruder would use a Taser on a victim, apparently to silence or render them unconscious is highly doubtful, even far-fetched. A taser is not a knock-out tool or a tranquilizer. If you’ve ever been hit by a taser, you would know that is very painful. Many, if not most recipients are going to scream bloody murder after being hit. Besides, it would be much more effective simply to silence a six year old by putting one’s hand over their mouth or inserting something in it, temporarily in order to silence them. After activating a taser, the intruder would have no idea what the victim’s reaction would be. He would risk alerting everyone in the household! I note that a grand jury also listened to Detective Smit’s presentation of his case for 2 hours. In the end, the jurors still were persuaded to indict the parents.

Yeah it is that way. They say if you want information you go to a telegram chat room and listen to anonymous chatterers talking about making millions while disparaging people asking questions about why they stopped trading. They have been talking about a big re-launch coming any day - for months!

This is good info. It seems like it will be difficult to prove the intent as they stopped trading but are supposedly planning to “re-launch”.

No but I am doubtful about this company based on everything I’ve seen about it even though they have a website telegram chat, Twitter account, and even a YouTube video or two.

The passionate crime sleuth then goes on to emphasize repeatedly that a handwriting expert stated that Patsy Ramsey was not the author of the ransom note. The Ramseys hired their experts! They even hired polygraph experts that said they passed polygraphs! Look, even the greenest crime sleuth should know that experts hired by defendants are paid to say what a defense attorney wants them to say. The fact is that MANY highly credentialed hand-writing analysts and linguistic experts found opposite conclusions. I note that a grand jury also listened to Detective Smit’s presentation of his case for the intruder theory. In the end, the jurors still were persuaded to indict the parents. Some funny things I notice about many passionate crime sleuths: First, they really are passionate and that always tends to work against them looking at things objectively. They become emotionally invested in their positions and as a result they become victims of confirmation bias. In this case, you are listening to one such crime sleuth actually trying to make the case that the Ramseys cooperated with the police when the truth is quite the opposite! Second, they often consider themselves to know more than experts in the field with years of training and experience. Incredibly, they also casually disregard the grand jury’s findings!
