I was sitting here watching PMPT for the thousandth time and a thought occured to me. I know which side of the fence I fall on, maybe I have known this about myself for some time and I've been in denial. Each time I have hit the ground on this side, I have tried to scramble back up to the noncommittal ridge. I have done this time and time again and maybe it's because I thought it seemed too simple.

When I started reading on this case, I was convinced that the father must have done it. The whole thing sounded too weird and I couldn't believe that her body would have been in the house that long without someone knowing. Then I learned that the house was six and a half thousand square feet and it would be likely that someone could break in and kill a girl in the basement room while her parents slept on the third floor. For a while I thought that Thomas' theory was plausible and that Patsy could have killed JonBenet in a rage. But with time I think I have realised that I just don't believe a theory like that. I can't believe that someone could have turned around and killed their daughter without showing some kind of prior mania, some kind of depression, a call for help or some disturbance. Surely someone would have noticed something in the past? And this doesn't even include the DNA and the stungun. Even if there were no DNA and no stungun I would still feel the way I feel.

I believe that the BPD might have also tried to turn witnesses against the Ramseys and that it was a very stressful time. That could be why LHP was shown the photo of the bed that the Ramseys later claimed not to have been a proper reflection of the state of the bed after the abduction. It could also have been why the Whites and the Ramseys have experienced a rift, I don't know. I think that maybe no malice was intended from the start but it has been the result of a big miscommunication. It happens to the best of us.

So after all that, I am left with what I believe. And for the record, I would like to state that after all these years of following this case, I have come to the conclusion that the Ramseys are innocent of any wrongdoing. Now I may be wrong. But the evidence that I have seen to date convinces me of their innocence rather than their guilt. And I needed to say that. I have been a fencesitter for far too long.
