I just couldn't imagine the parents sexually abusing her as a way to cover up for Burke, that's mental to me

I think the sexual abuse was a separate topic, and maybe to do with the party the night before

If it was from the night before how come the same paintbrush that was used to abuse her was also used as the handle on the garrote? seems like all these things happened that night, wasn't there blood found on her underwear which would mean it happened that night?

I think The Netflix doc is a bit biased towards the family not being involved because as far as I remember I thought it was more of a possibility before this one (it's easy to forget details though) although the one I listened to before may have been more biased in the opposite direction

Definitely don't think that the family were involved, I see at the end they decided that the DNA might have been contaminated. I honestly think it was that guy John Mark Kerr. He seems like the type that would write a letter like the ransom note was too, rambling and stupid

…wow at John Ramsey’s older daughter being killed in,a car accident as well…that’s something I hadn’t known, it’s terribly tragic how much loss the family have had in their lives…

I agree, the manner in which she was killed would hopefully rule out family members and also why would they not move the body as the house would be the first place to be searched, John Mark Kerr knew aspects of the case that were never made public but it appears the police were so keen on sticking to the theory that it was the family did this that they ignored it, interesting as well that both cases resulted in compensation to the family and to Burke

Exactly, the theory about Burke hitting her and causing the head injury and then her parents doing the rest to cover it up is just such an outlandish and macabre stretch. That they would sexually abuse and torture her to hide the fact her brother hit her is just so grotesque and that people believed it as well with literally no evidence is crazy. I'm not saying it's beyond the realms of possibility to say they might have covered for their son but I mean, say she fell down the stairs or something, there would have been zero need for all the rest. John Marks confession and the details he went into sounds more like the kind of sick mind that would do that to a 6 year old.
I feel so bad Patsy died so young as well with nothing resolved and all that horriblness hanging over their lives

Took a sample of John Mark Kerrs hand writing to compare to the ransom note?

…The special report televised ‘Trial of the Ramsey’s’ was outrageous and completely trivialising the brutal murder of a child for what felt like entertainment/sensationalist value…and that they intimated in that, that JonBenet was being exploited and sexualised, while if that was what they felt, they were then all doubling down on that…

The 90's and even early 00's were awful for those kind of talk shows. I'm not a fan of those pageant's for children at all I might add but I don't think Patsy did it with bad intent, she was involved in that world herself and probably just saw it as sharing her interest. I do think that unfortunately for JonBenét it may have been what made her noticed by the sick person who did what he did to her though

the pineapple in JonBenét's stomach that they think she must have eaten around 11pm-12am which the parents say they never gave her however they found a bowl with Pineapple and milk on the counter with only Burkes finger prints, I think this was where the Burke killed her theory stemmed from, that he made himself the snack after his parents went to bed (they got home around 10pm) JonBenét got up and grabbed some from his bowl, he gets annoyed and hits her causing the head injury and then the parents or just Patsy cover it up

…no, child pageantry is something that I’m uncomfortable with as well…but it was a popular thing in the US at that time../…I’m not sure if that’s still the case in present times..so the leap from child pageantry and any sexualisation involved in that and sexually abusive parents/father was just bizarre…also that lady who was involved in the TV Trial thing…saying that JonBenet was ‘masterbating with the saxophone’…when she was dancing a rhythm and imitating playing a saxophone…it’s just incredible how much the parents were being implicated on really fabricated stuff and judgement of others…I do agree about Patsy, I think her intent was good…JonBenet possibly wanted to be a ‘beauty queen’ like her mom had been when she was younger and after Patsy’s aggressive cancer….?…she obviously didn’t know if she would see her daughter grow up so I think that was a deciding factor, possibly…that she was able to make that ‘beauty queen’ journey now with her daughter…ironically and tragically, she was correct…she never got to see JonBenet grow into adulthood…but not for the reason she would have thought and ironically also…as you say…that decision for JonBenet to take part in pageantry may have been something that led to her brutal death…

Oh yeah that bit about the saxophone was absolutely ridiculous, honestly said more to me about that woman's mind than anything else
