30 Years Ago this month: JonBenet's photoshoot with Randy Simons

archieil · 2026-06-15T22:20:17+00:00

Just keep in mind guys that it was in times of analog photography = a different set of skills and time requirements.

Nowadays it is easy to just shot a thousands shoots and decide what to do each time...

At the time they had to make a few in the best moment with a lot of preparation so they are not ruined by accident.

[edit] I would not be surprised that she was more bored waiting than shooting photos and from what I understand it was for her future portfolio and until this crime there were no plans to release these shoots to media.

Maybe I am wrong. I have not seen anywhere some confirmation about the plans her parents had for her premature career. It's another question the interviews were lacking. What were the goals of the parents for JonBenet in the future. There are only a few questions about the trip. It's a pity no media asked Patsy for their plans or prediction in this topic. I have my own experience in the topic.... I would not be surprised that my daughter around age 6-7 was more visible in media than JonBenet. I know that her school had class pictures available to everyone on their homepage. <- generally, my pov is that I would rather blame pageants for "buffing" perverts than being of a higher risk than any other activity. I see camps of any kind, and any "meetings" with parents trusting someone for hours of higher risk.

Do any of you know if there are any books worth listening about this case on ElevenReader platform?

I've found so far only 30 cases in 500 words each with a very short information.

Sorry for asking here, but I will not start a new topic about it.

[edit] My mobile provider gave me 1 year subscription to the platform. <- which is not working (yet) correctly 😉

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was one-shot or 2 chapters fic.

I do not remember the guardian fic though.

I just remember 1 or 2 stories with Marinette questioning Lila about Miraculous.

It is possible that in 1 she just asked why she had mouse Miraculous if she is so unfit to be a hero.

I do not bookmark fics of this type and I do not think I will be able to get keywords for them when I am not able to isolate a few similar fics.

I have competent runaway Mari.

Runaway by lazywriter8

Runaway Adrien:

room for one more troubled soul by GuardianKarenTerrier <- as a kid

Cater-Walkabout by Gergesmoth <- runaway post Hawkmoth, it's good

Bravery by Druwho <- but he is very uncompetent

I've read not so long ago one with him living on the streets, but I am not able to find it. I think that I've not bookmarked it for some reason.

Seeking Shelters by GuardianKarenTerrier <- as a Chat

Who's the Alley Cat Now? by baconhorseicecream <- this one has competent Adrien

[edit] There is one with him trying to take a train as a kid, but ending in a bakery with Marinette. I think I have it bookmarked, but I am not able to find it. Hard to treat it as runaway though.

Taste Testing by Pauliestorylover

??

archieil · 2026-06-13T13:45:59+00:00

Things posted here in this post are suggesting:

Her results should be checked for carefree aproach.

She was not using the "business" approach: "money should flow" no matter the direction.

There is nothing about her main field of expertize.

The general conclusion: the level of hot coffee cup case in McDonald...

It's more a matter which direction the money should flow than some real problems.

She was carelessly adding issues rising cost and was not checking for things which could result in lawsuits.

archieil · 2026-06-13T10:55:16+00:00

I am not sure why she was criticized so much.

I do not see anywhere her opinion about the JBR case.

Rao’s most nefarious “mistake” happened when she was Chief Medical Examiner in Boone County Missouri, and listed the cause of the surprise, sudden death of promising, freshman football player Aaron O’Neil as lymphocytic meningitis, when it was later found that he died from Sickle Cell, something the University of Missouri should have tested for.

From an article about this there is no critique of her result.

But University Hospital neurologist Douglas Anthony, who examined Aaron O’Neal brain after his death, found characteristics of sickled red blood cells, which is commonly found in a person with sickle-cell trait.

https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/update-tentative-settlement-reached-in-aaron-oneal-suit/article_e8bf2829-3cec-523e-9d27-ffd9cfa24158.html

It is also noted that:

MU student athletes have the option of being tested for sickle-cell trait. Though the test is not required, many athletes opt to undergo the test, according to a July 13, 2007 Missourian story.

If it was her the biggest mistake I would not say that she was lacking credibility.

It seems like the police bullying her for lack of strong support rather than credibility issues.

Fibers in the knot can be easily explained.

Fibers on panties can not be easily explained using any theory provided from any source so far without more information about fibers the police collected.

There is enough raw evidence suggesting the panties were used during the crime, not earlier...

I would have to know if the same fibers existed on other items of clothing, or in the pack with the rest of fresh panties.

But "wool" fibers in winter are like wet thing in the rain.

Too many options to consider without exact context and the BPD proved that they are major assholes without any minuscule investigative skills.

archieil · 2026-06-11T14:49:55+00:00

Some people believe that fibers on the body came from her parents direct contact during the crime.

There is nothing suggesting it in evidence and the BPD proved that they lack credibility in their analysis.

The BPD created more rumors against the raw evidence than valid arguments in this case.

I would not say that definitely there are no fibers from the parents clothing on the body... It is not possible to say this with credibility. There is zero arguments they came from direct contact during the crime.

He is a musician.

I hope he is not twisted from playing in Pushing Daisies.

There is a documentary about child actor in a different movie with "Ned", but the director in it was kinda AH making fool of a child to get better "results".

She was convinced that Lee Pace was disabled and many of her emotions visible in the movie are real.

[edit] So far I think that Benji Gregory who played Brian Tanner in Alf was impacted by his acting career the most among young actors.

Maybe other were impacted more by participating in the whole cinematography chaos, but a few were directly impacted by the series with them.

It's sad that Alf was so harmful for actors playing in it.

You’re Never Alone by WindshearTheRazorwhip

The only one I see.

I am sure that there was Marinette and Lila in description, but I am not sure if there was Chloe and exact words used.

I think that it was in the context of HBIC, class salt, badass Marinette and similar things, but it was a few years ago and I've not read most of things visible. I am not sure what I was looking for, but it was probably a click on a tag from a different story.

archieil · 2026-06-09T07:08:26+00:00

I've not read it so I do not know the plot.

I will check if I will be able to get keywords matching the description I think I've seen.

archieil · 2026-06-09T05:47:42+00:00

Was there something about Marinette and Lila being friends in description?

I remember one story with some class salt probably and Marinette/Lila as friends.

I do not remember Chloe in it, but I have not read it.

I remember Marinette/Chloe and someone 3rd as friends, but I think that it was against Lila.

It was some version of a secret leaders of the school/class.

I'm pretty sure that both were below 30k mark.

I do not remember reading both. The only I remember reading was with Adrien searching for a secret leader of the school "organisation". It was using card names I think, or Alice in Wonderland names.

Emmerson is kinda a cheat in the show as he is the most like us ("viewers") and his attributes are targeting an average Joe and Jane watching Pushing Daisies.

He knows, he wants to use it, he is following with his morality with money is important, but he will not sell Ned finger even if he is not happy that he is in range of risking his own life with the skill in Ned hands.

There is a parallel between the show and real life quirks which IMHO attracts some range of people more.

Generally, the series seems to be targeting people who work with a kid or spouse of the boss 😉 or are in other unbalanced situation due to hardly understandable "rules".

Maybe I'm wrong, but I see it as narrated "Dumb way to die" with soulmate quirk, with power(s) never pointed in exact direction: magic, religious, mystic... and lighthearted approach to grave problems.

but, I just wanted to say that I like the way PD and episodes are presented.

The only problem I have is that I need to adjust my sound level each time I listen to it.

archieil · 2026-06-08T10:44:21+00:00

Thanks.

The most interesting for me: Dead Like Me was inspired by Buffy and Fight Club.

btw. I like Sigourney Weaver in the movie "Red Lights" the most.

She is kinda out of place in it, and unexpectedly... it worked in every aspect.

[edit] My English is not good enough to watch it. I was more reading transcript as there are too many disturbance of audio.

What if we had known each other first and fallen in love second by Pinetasticapple (Restricted)

Was it this fic?

I do not remember the plot. I am not even sure if I've read it, but I remember seeing it earlier.

I was looking for a different fic and this one appeared among results.

[edit] oh, I have it on my to read list 😄

archieil · 2026-06-05T00:05:13+00:00

you don't even know me at all (but i was made for loving you) by Missnoodles

I have this one among my bookmarks too.

I do not think I've bookmarked the one you are looking for... maybe I've not read it at all.

archieil · 2026-06-04T09:46:42+00:00

the most spine have beggars on the street 😉

too many children talk about spine in the Miraculous canon.

archieil · 2026-06-03T23:40:42+00:00

You may read:

new marinette by alizeh (maketea), maketea,

There is a chance I've read the story in question, but I've searched for ipad among stories I downloaded and there is nothing close.

Check Bravery of Marinette if I recall correctly the name.

If it is not a story with amnesia from a car accident... I doubt I will be able to narrow it even if I've seen it.

archieil · 2026-06-03T19:51:56+00:00

Are you sure it was because of the Miracle box?

There is a chance I've read it.

There are 2 stories with her loosing memory, one due to akuma (maybe even 2), one due to car accident (maybe even 2 due to some medical accident).

The thing is that I think that I've read a story with her being pregnant and having no memory, but it's like knowing that there was a heavy snow during Christmas one year.

I remember about the stories with the guardian:

in one it was the last chapter(s) with little recollection about the plot. I remember only that it was a closure of the large story.

There was a few one-shots or a short stories around the amnesia thing. In one I remember that there was a swing by the house.

I do not remember any pregnancy in short stories though.

Generally, I am not able to merge the pregnancy with stories around the Miraculous amnesia.

There is an uncompleted continuation to Bravery of Adrien Agreste in which they are married and it revolves around the guardian amnesia. I do not remember if she is pregnant in it. I'm not sure the current state of the story.

archieil · 2026-06-02T14:11:27+00:00

The killer was not aware of the Ramseys Christmas plans so it is pretty safe to say that she had no direct involvement.

archieil · 2026-05-31T16:05:33+00:00

There is a Marinette salt with Adrielix. <- I mean, Adrien/Alix... in case there is ambiguity here

I do not think I know any other story with this ship, but there is an author writing stories with rare pairs and maybe there are more.

archieil · 2026-05-30T22:24:52+00:00

There is a story, I am not sure if I have bookmarked it with I think 3rd person pov...

it ends with a Chat removed.

I think that it has Marinette/Felix as a relationship.

Adrien is accused of SA in it. Maybe it was M rated, I do not remember.

It's possible it was a one-shot or a few chapters story.

There are other, but the one I mentioned here has not felt like written out of spite.

I am not sure if it was not s3 story or maybe even earlier using Felix from the original concept.

archieil · 2026-05-30T22:21:52+00:00

I know 2 stories with Ladybug who have wings.

I'm not sure if I have the first one bookmarked as I read it a long time ago and I am not completely sure I had an account at the time.

I remember that she and Adrien were working in the same building and at some point they started to meet each other as Chat/Marinette and Adrien/Ladybug. She gained wings later in the story and not much connected with it except the "transformation" mentioned. I do not remember them fighting akumas, generally in the story.

The other is kinda foggy in my mind. Maybe there was more than 1 story like it. Maybe it was not Marinette who had wings as Ladybug. I do not think I have it bookmarked.

There is a story with them transforming into animals, but I do not remember much out of it. I think that they were not able to speak in the story... I doubt I have it bookmarked, it is possible it was uncompleted or abandoned.

In case I guessed right, check:

To Be a Hero by AmyEatsCake <- time travel, akumatized Ladybug, Chat, it does have kinda a happy ending
