Why did SHE need pageants? What could she possibly get out of it?
I find that strange!
Am I the only person who does?
These little girl pagents are big with Southern Bells.
Patsy didn't fit the sterotype, the moms you see on tv aren't representative of them all. Don't let the image influence you. Wasn't she in pagents herself tho when younger?
Sadly, if Jon Benet had been a teen, she probably would have been sent there.
Rich folks are different. That is for sure. Who knows what happened...could Patti have been having an affair with a man, who got rough with Jon Benet? And to cover it up, she created the eleborate scenario? I do believe that the family knew the perp, and was part of the cover up, for what ever reason...maybe a revenge issue with a former employee, that would have resulted in major jail time for John...so, he participated in the cover up. Who knows...
this at a minimum is what I believe, if one of the parents didn't do it they knew what happened and were part of a cover up at the very least.
there's just too much against them, especially the letter, not only the length, the words, indentations, phrasing which can be recalled back to movies in the house, everything about the letter screams involvement in some way by at least Patsy.
oh and the "window" as big evidence of Mr. Stranger Danger: it had been broken for weeks. and DNA testing wasn't what it is today, throw in a bungled crime scene by Mayberry-style police and you have nothing but conspiracy theories when the sad fact is this type of crime is far more likely to be perpetrated by a family member or someone the victim knew well, not an outsider.
I don't see those kids and Moms "Bonding" doing those pagents on "Toddlers and Tiaras". If it is "bonding" it looks pretty miserable for the most part to me.
Patsy did not have to put JonBenet into the pageants to gain status....she already had plenty of status. I think it was just a fun, mother-daughter thing for them to do.
You're right. I remember reading that Patsy won the Miss West Virginia beauty title when she was 21, and her younger sister won it a few years later. She received her bachelor's degree from West Virgina University. She enjoyed pageants and thought her daughter might enjoy them as well.
I always believed it was an accidental death by Patsy and her husband helped her cover it up. The ransom note of $118,000 that was requested was an odd amount plus it had been the father's Christmas bonus that year. Also when they did a handwritten study of Patsy's handwriting of the ransom note they could not rule her out.
I just saw where the father stated that he knows Patsy would never had done that but I don't believe him. I think he knew exactly what happened. He went right to her body in the basement.

I don't think this is how it played out, but believe what you will. He would have known about the little used room with a door access detectives overlooked, he lived there.

I could be wrong and heard rumors about him finding the body.

My handwriting changes from time to time, so much so that the bank would question me.
Now, why would they write a ransom amount that they could readily pay when they KNEW they would not be paying it? That's not evidence of anything in my book.
