Mark Beckner, former Boulder Police Chief: We know from the evidence she was hit in the head very hard with an unknown object, possibly a flashlight or similar type item. The blow knocked her into deep unconsciousness, which could have led someone to believe she was dead. The strangulation came 45 minutes to two hours after the head strike, based on the swelling on the brain. While the head wound would have eventually killed her, the strangulation actually did kill her. The rest of the scene we believe was staged, including the vaginal trauma, to make it look like a kidnapping/assault gone bad. I have avoided saying who I believe is responsible and let the facts speak for themselves. There are several viable theories.

obviously LE were & still are quite convinced the family are involved. and without any direct evidence of an intruder, i have to agree. the JBR case is to me the modern era equivalent of the LKC, perplexing enough on it's own but with family politics involved more so.
i do have to wonder the timing of Beckner's comments though, why now?. i know from other cold cases LE every so often revives interest with a press release, etc. in hopes of flushing out the perp. that is how they caught BTK.

it's funny to see my own comment from 2015 (!) where i tend towards family involvement. since then i've read a lot about the case and have now (mostly) changed my mind, i do think there was an intruder. strange as it may seem, i think it's possible.

Hard to believe it's been that long already. Have you watched this series yet? If not, I highly recommend it. No doubt in my mind Patsy wrote that note. Also, how the FBI Agent saw her peeking through her fingers to watch his reaction. Check out at 1:11 on E1P1. She's pretending to cry, telling everyone there's " somebody out there," while shaking her head "no." She is lying. Pretending to cry is a huge red flag. Shaking her head "no" is a nonverbal unconscious form of communication. She doesn't believe what she is saying. If someone came into my office with that type of nonsense I would have had the truth in about 10 minutes. Anyway, again, I highly recommend this series because there is a lot to be learned from and applied to this case as well. Of course I don't always agree with certain experts, but it explains their techniques and where they are coming from.

A photo of the ransom note as written appears in John Douglas' work, "The Cases that Haunt Us."
It was probably written before the the entry into the Ramsay house and then copied onto the paper found in the Ramsay kitchen. The intruder made two mistakes and cross-outs while he was copying it.
The first cross-out occurs near the opening:
"Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction. We ("are" is crossed out) respect your business but not the country that it serves."
The second cross-out occurs near the end of the next paragraph:
"If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence an earlier ("delivery" is crossed out) pickup of your daughter."
Again the intruder lost his place in copying and repeated the word "delivery" from the earlier sentence. There are no ms ore cross-outs as the writer became careful to maintain the correct place in the note.
The note was composed before the event and copied on paper in the kitchen so that the fingerprints which would have been found on the original would not be left as evidence at the scene. The copying may well have done before the child was awakened.

I'll try to post an image of the JonBenet ransom note here and hope it goes through!
Sorry, the thread will not permit the attachment.
