The ransom note is extremely weird.
There are so many strange, strange aspects to this case.
To me, the evidence points to the murder being an inside job to cover up an accidental death.

But the evidence doesnt fit neatly one way or the other.
It is hard to believe these parents would be emotionally able to strangle their little girl with a garrote.
A cover up doesnt make sense to me… however it does seem more likely than any other scenario.
Heres the evidence:
[*] John Ramsey found the body in the homes basement.
This is consistent with how a father would act in a cover up.
The old adage that the killer returns to the scene of the crime has some truth to it.
A guilty person inserts themselves into an investigation as much as possible.
[*] John and Patsy Ramsey did not cooperate with police.
They immediately hired a lawyer and were never completely forthcoming with investigators about what happened.
[*] The ransom note is extremely weird.
The note was written on a notepad and with a pen from the Ramseys house.
After writing the note, the items were put away.
An intruder would key in the letter out ahead of time and bring it with them.
They also wouldnt clean up after themselves.
[*] If the plan was to kidnap JonBenet and collect ransom money, why was she killed?
If her death was accidental, why still leave the ransom note as extra evidence?
[*] When JonBenets body was discovered, it was covered by a blanket.
This is something that is typically done when the victim is known by the murderer.
[*] Police found Burkes fingerprints on a bowl of pineapple on the kitchen counter.
It can be deposited anywhere at any time for various reasons, reasons that are benign.
Suspiciously, Patsy does not say her daughters name in the call and referred to herself as the mother.
though Patsy Ramseys story is that Burke was asleep in bed until later on in the morning.
[*] John Ramsey called his personal pilot twice the day JonBenet was found dead.
The blow knocked her into deep unconsciousness, which could have led someone to believe she was dead.
While the head wound would have eventually killed her, the strangulation actually did kill her.
I have avoided saying who I believe is responsible and let the facts speak for themselves.
There are several viable theories.
