"LHP: Patsy Killed JonBenet!"<BR>Posted by New York Lawyer on 19:18:42 6/08/2000<P> STAR<BR> June 20, 2000<P> WHY I BELIEVE PATSY KILLED JONBENET<BR> Ramsey's ex house keeper charges<P> By Linda Hoffmann-Pugh<P> I worked for John and Patsy Ramsey for a year and a half, just<BR>before JonBenet's murder.<P> Patsy always treated me very well. We never had any arguments or<BR>fights. So it really hurts me to<BR> the core to tell the world I am convinced Patsy murdered JonBenet.<BR>But I feel I must speak out.<P> As I watched the Ramseys announce in a televised press conference<BR>that they had passed their lie<BR> detector test, and then take on Detective Steve Thomas last week<BR>on Larry King Live, I was struck<BR> by their arrogance and Patsy's holier-than-thou attitude.<P> The Ramseys seem to be on some kind of phony crusade, holding<BR>press conferences, appearing with<BR> Barbara Walters on 20/20 and the Today show with Katie Couric.<BR>They're doing everything they can<BR> to rehabilitate their public image.<P> I think Patsy believes she's gotten away with murder, and she's<BR>trying to convince the world that<BR> she's a victim, too. But as someone who knows the Ramseys and<BR>their habits very well, I can say<BR> that I don't have any doubt in my mind what happened that horrible<BR>Christmas night.<P> I believe Patsy lost her temper and killed JonBenet. Then she<BR>created an elaborate cover-up to get<BR> away with murder.<P> I remember that awful day, December 26, 1996, when two detectives<BR>from the Boulder Police<BR> Department showed up at my house with the news that JonBenet had<BR>been killed.<P> I still get a sick feeling in my stomach when I think about the<BR>detectives asking for handwriting<BR> samples, and telling me to print the words "Ramsey" "and hence"<BR>and worst of all, "beheaded."<P> I broke down in tears when I wrote 'beheaded,' thinking that<BR>precious princess had had her head cut<BR> off.<P> Over the following months, as the detectives continued to ask me<BR>questions about the Ramseys, I<BR> came to the conclusion: Patsy Ramsey had struck her little girl<BR>and then strangled her to death!<P> Here are the five main reasons that led me to my conclusion.<P> REASON NO. 1:<BR> The bathroom.<P> In Detective Steve Thomas' book, he talks about his theory of the<BR>case, and says that he believes<BR> the crime began in JonBenet's bathroom. Thomas talked about<BR>inspecting JonBenet's bathroom,<BR> looking for a surface that could have crushed that child's skull.<P> When I read what Thomas wrote it struck me -- I remember that<BR>Patsy used to take JonBenet into<BR> her bathroom to be punished!<P> Whenever JonBenet would act up and need discipline, Patsy would<BR>take her into the bathroom<BR> attached to JonBenet's bedroom, close the door and deliver the<BR>punishment in there. I do not know<BR> what kind of punishment Patsy gave her daughter, but I do know she<BR>always did it in JonBenet's<BR> bathroom!<P> REASON NO. 2:<BR> The handwriting<P> During the time I worked for Patsy and John, I saw many, many<BR>examples of Patsy's handwriting.<BR> She was always leaving me a note asking me to do something, or<BR>thanking me, or whatever.<P> The first time I saw the "ransom note" after it was released to<BR>the public, a chill ran down my spine<BR> -- to me, it looked just like Patsy's handwriting!<P> That was my first reaction to reading the strange, rambling,<BR>three-page message. I know the<BR> authorities have said officially that they can't exclude Patsy as<BR>the author of the note. But to me,<BR> its obvious Patsy wrote it.<P> And
