John Ramsey Speaks Out About JonBenet

John Ramsey is out on the media circuit selling a new book that he wrote about his suffering and journey to healing after the murder of his daughter 15 years ago.  I saw him first on Anderson Cooper’s show.

I can only say “WOW“.  Every single thing this man did and said in this interview does not fit with a victim of a horrific crime, if you ask me, and everywhere I go, I see this man dropping red flags like rain drops coming from the sky.

It’s jaw dropping for me. Literally.

Yes, the Ramseys were cleared by a prosecutor in 2008, though I don’t quite know how you can legitimately clear someone when you can’t solve the crime.  It makes no sense to me, but prosecutors have the power to do such things.

When John talks on the Andersen show, I am immediately pinged by his lack of emotions. He is as dead as a doornail.  There is no fear, anger, sadness, surprise–nothing negative whatsoever when he talks about finding his daughter, seeing her dead, etc.  Yet we see the contrast of another guest later on in the Andersen show who lost her son more than 10 years before John.  This woman shows us what natural emotional memory recall looks like.  The comparison is stark.

John’s emotions stand out, without question.

I also find it very odd that John recalls the first police officer coming to the door and saying, “Do you think she could have run away?”  John’s answer is startling.  Listen to him.

He says, “No, she’s only six-years old. It’s ridiculous.”

What???!!

If you had a ransom note, would you ever think about your child running away?  Hell no you wouldn’t!!  You would never even entertain it.  You’d be like “Look at this ransom note!!!  We know she didn’t run away for certain–there is no question. A six-year old can’t write a ransom note like this!!!”

Yet Ramsey doesn’t recall anything like this.  He seems to actually entertain for a minute in this interview that this could have been plausible because all he can say is ‘she’s only six years old’ –as if six-year olds can’t run away, which is nonsense by itself.

It’s a huge red flag that what his experience was and what he is telling us are two different things–or this conversation would have stuck out in his mind as forever absurd! It also would put most parents on edge with regards to the competence of the arriving police, but not John.

I wonder if a cop even said that (which is plausible), or is this is just John conjecturing now?  I wonder if he ever said this before..if it has been documented.  I’d be so curious to know.

Later in the interview, John talks about the police asking him to go through the house to see if there was anything unusual, and that’s when he found JonBenet dead.  Wouldn’t you think if your daughter was missing that this would have been the first thing you did–go through the house to see how the killer got in, what he might have taken or left behind to help you find your daughter? Or wouldn’t it have been the first thing you ask police to do — to secure the residence with you?

Wouldn’t you worry if your house was safe for your wife and son?  Wouldn’t you have been seriously concerned for your safety?

Why wasn’t John?

The fact that John never searched the house at this point stands out to me as very peculiar. Would you have to be told to search for anything unusual, or would you have done it yourself if you believed your daughter was kidnapped and that finding evidence could help you get her back?

John also goes on to describes finding his daughter “a relief and a horror” at the same time.  Does this make any sense to you?

What would the relief be in finding your dead daughter? I would love to ask him!

Now imagine you know what happened to your daughter and you know she is lying downstairs dead, would it be a relief when she was finally discovered?  It absolutely would be.

John, however, wants us to believe that not knowing where his daughter was for 5 or 6 hours was enough time for him to get relief in getting his dead daughter back.  That’s utterly ridiculous!

Parents of missing and kidnapped children hold out high hope that their child will be found alive and do not get relief when the child is found dead.  They feel horrified they didn’t do enough fast enough to avert the horrific nightmare.

John’s words here are simply alarming to me.

I also found an article in the Detroit Free Press where they quote John about his new book, and he continues to flag me there as well.

In this interview, Ramsey says that he and his wife were prepared to go to jail.  Would you ever be prepared to go to jail if you were innocent?

The Detroit Free Press articles quotes John:

“Patsy joked, ‘Can I have stripes that run vertical? Horizontal are going to make me look fat,’ ” he says.

If you were looking at serving time for something you didn’t commit, and the police were woefully wrong, would you ever joke about this?  Especially if a killer would be running around at large while you sat in jail and could possibly kill your son???

I don’t think so.

You’d be scared stiff!

If however, you were involved, might you joke?  What else could you do?

John also says, “Everybody has a burden, and I wanted to tell people it doesn’t last forever. There is light at the end of the tunnel.”

A burden?

Really?????

I would have loved to asked Ramsey, what was his burden?

I thought he was a victim.

This man has been fishy from day one, and he still smells like a rotting fish, if you ask me.  I do not believe John Ramsey’s version of what happened and never have…and I find it disturbing he wants to profit off of this horrific nightmare.

He should be donating the money to investigators to help bring the real killer to justice, but perhaps that would bring people too close to home.
