The shaking of one's head while agreeing does NOT mean they're lying EVERY time it happens.

I've done it myself and had it pointed out to me (not with law enforcement, but with friends). I KNOW that I was telling the truth.

[@liinu01]

John Ramsay seems to be the one very much in charge in this family, you can see his dominance over the wife, who's much simpler and worse at telling the lies... he seems a very cold, hard man...

[@VintageRose75]

My thoughts exactly!! I think Burke hit her, Patsy probably wanted to take her to the hospital, John insisted she was probably brain dead, and that he had to take the other actions to protect them all from prosecution. They were not consoling each other AT ALL after finding the body, and remained in separate rooms. That tells me they were upset with each other, and the only reason I can think is thst they had separate opinions of what to do, and that John won. This would explain the look Linda Ardnt saw when he brought JonBenet's body up from the basement and laid it down. Funny how the truth always comes out in the end. I notice he seemed to dominate many of their interviews, and Patsy would look at him a lot before answering. I do feel for her, if this is what truly transpired, and she was forced to go along. She really did love JonBenet. She was the apple of her eye (and why Burke was jealous enough to hit her hard enough to kill her).

Notice at 3:43 Patsy says, "We were frightened. There was a murderer loose." While she says this she is shaking her head no as if lying. At 3:52 she says, "Yes" but shakes her head no.

The body can't help but tell the truth.

[@Moviechick3994]

There something very strange to me, when two parents of a murder victim, purely say "We were scared, there was a murderer out there." Not "We wanted justice for our daughter and want said perpetrator to rot in hell," or even "We were concerned for the safety of our entire family, particularly our other children (John's other children) and our young son Burke." As a parent, you're suppose to make your children priority, their safety included so why is there no fear for theirs son's safety, if they're certain a murderer is on the lose? I am not saying they either are or aren't innocent, I just find it a strange comment.

[@cherylc3696]

What the hell do you think they meant? Of course they meant they were scared for their whole family. Do you expect them to mention every member of their family one by one??? Stop LOOKING for ways to accuse these people. As for their son, how much have you heard about their son???? NOTHING!! That's because they protected him from the media and people like you. As for wanting justice for JonBenet, I've heard them talk about that many times. I find your comment VERY strange. It just makes it look like you WANT them to be guilty, just like the Boulder cops.

[@earlomurray8462]

+Gary Brundage Music: Except, they did meet with police, and answered questions extensively, on the 26th and 27th. Their lawyers--not the Ramseys themselves--after that refused to cave in to the rigid demands of the police, and the police refused to question them if it wasn't 100% on their terms. The Ramseys did agree to interviews that the police cancelled at the last minute, leaking to the press to make them look bad. The Boulder Police detectives on the case had NO experience investigating homicides, initally refused help from outside agencies with more experience, and they let their total fixation on the Ramseys screw up any chance of ever solving this crime, absent a confession.

[@bobross764]

[@julez8053]

Linda Arndt's "ability to look into someones eyes and determine they were (/he is a) killer' ist not remarkable, it's simply called instinct.

[@liinu01]

They're lying so much and so badly it's difficult to figure out their actual involvement, as they've clearly been advised to give a particular type of answer to a particular question, and there is a lot of 'planning' and 'thinking' of an answer going on... "Why didn't you want to take a lie detector test?" "We were frightened, there was a murderer on the loose!" Wow. That's the worst acting and the dumbest untruth I've heard in a while... I would think anyone willing to have the actual killer found, would have taken the test, so as to rule themselves out as suspects, so police resources can be concentrated towards other suspects..

[@liinu01]

***** Yes, first she says "No one asked us to." Then he says "I said I'd be offended." when asked if he would be willing to have a lie detector test, as a hypothetical situation. Then she says, in an overwhelmingly fake manner: "We were frightened, there was a murderer loose!" Then the interviewer asks if they would take the test now. They pause, stutter and falter, when trying to respond and say yes. :) I'm now reading that there was a jury ready to convict them, but that the judge overruled the decision..? This would indicate they were charged, but perhaps I've misunderstood. I'll read more about this.

Please read Steve Thomas's book JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation. So many mistakes were made early in the investigation, such as allowing John to carry the body up from the basement where he "found" her, disturbing the crime scene. The coroner also didn't think to test core body temp or eye fluid to determine the time of death before the body was transported from the crime scene and stored in a morgue freezer. Police failed to keep friends and family members from tampering with scene, even allowing Patsy's sister Pam to enter the house and collect many of the family's personal items which were carelessly "inventoried" but could have included possible evidence. The pre 1992 felt tip sharpie marker used to write the ransom note (and the practice ransom note) was found in Patsy's kitchen. And most surprisingly, the Ramseys lawyered up right away - even before they were first questioned by Boulder detectives. This contradicts their claim in this interview that they were "shocked" that the police even considered them possible suspects. The evidence is all there, folks.

Big red flag, refusing lie detector test!

[@earlomurray8462]

+Angela: They did agree to lie detector tests after this interview, if it was by a neutral third party (they didn't trust the BPD and objected to the FBI, who were advising the BPD and were clearly biased). The Boulder Police refused, they wanted the the FBI or no one. The Ramseys just wanted someone neutral, not chosen by the BPD, and insisted that the results should be made public. So then the Ramseys went and had lie detector tests done by an expert in Atlanta, which were inconclusive the first time, so that examiner (not the Ramseys) picked another expert, did the tests again and released the results to the public, which concluded they were telling the truth. The BPD wouldn't even look at the results, and wouldn't agree to any neutral party, or anyone other than the FBI. The FBI was telling the BPD to leak false information to the media to pressure the Ramseys (a lot of what you Ramseys-did-it types believe is false information leaked by the BPD, that has been completely disproven). John and Patsy were 100% right not to trust the FBI.

[@samanthawilton3768]

The sheer fact that the Ramseys went out of their way to avoid the police in the days following the murder shows that they were attempting to hide something. While most parents who just lost a child would be demanding to know any information the police could provide, the Ramseys didn't question the police at all. Nor did they seem interested in working alongside the detectives to find the killer. An interesting piece of evidence that might point to Burke (JonBenet's brother) as the murderer is that shortly after JonBenet was killed, he was asked to draw pictures of his family and he left JonBenet out. Most kids who lose a sibling continue drawing them in pictures of the family for years, but he didn't draw her at all. Almost as if he were happy she was "out of the picture." And it's known that he had been violent towards his sister in the past, hitting her with a golf club, perhaps because he was jealous of all the attention she got. After reading Steve Thomas's book, my best theory is that the parents were covering for Burke.

[@VintageRose75]

Samantha Wilton I totally agree with you. The parents and Burke were not afraid and not pushing to find the murderer, because they knew all along. And, he even said matter-of-factly, AS AN ADULT in the Dr. Phil interview, that the reason he didn't draw her was simply because she was no longer here (meaning alive). Creepy if a 9 year old would say that, but to say it as a 29 year old?!? 😨 I mean...seriously!!

[@Maximillion666]

Personally nothing about this murder made any sense until the brother was mentioned . Then it starts to make perfect sense why they would try and cover up what happened. I never felt John was the one who committed the crime and that Patsy knew more then what she was saying. If i had to put money on it id say Burke got into a fight with his sister and hit her in the head. She was knocked out but appeared to be dead. At that point they panicked and staged a murder knowing that if the truth came out they would lose another child. Remember at this point Burke is there only child and John had already lost a child that devastated him during a previous marriage. Who knows i could be totally wrong but from reading about the Grand Jury indictment it accuses the Ramsey's of knowing more information about the murder and not telling the police. It doesn't accuse them of being the murders directly.

[@coreyadkins1874]

Unless Burke created a garotte and attached cords to her neck and tied her hands then you're a fact proof idiot. It is proven by autopsy and the special forensic pathological and gynecological team that she died from strangling. Dr. Cyril Wecht the forensic pathologist of pathologists clearly explained in several interviews and podcasts that below that massive wack was less than 7 ccs of blood. And what does that mean? Her heart had already stopped. Moreover, Dr. Wecht clearly explained that inside her vaginal cavity was eroded skin, yes scar tissue, very little if any hymen left, while another Dr. stated that her vaginal entrance was two times the size of a normal 6 year old! This case is a Satanic Ritual Abuse case. That girl was molested way before that evening and that is NOT THE WORK OF BURKE. Surely he too was a victim! And symbolically the Ramsey home was full of modern occult patterns even Masonic checker boards and even poor little JonBenet was dressed in pageant wear as so, and her spiral like hat. You sir are an idiot or of the esoteric illusions!

The shaking of one's head while agreeing is common when lying, also they both stammered when asked if they would take a polygraph which was just so strange. Patsy is also completely defensive, while John is calm and slowing his speech down to prevent stammering and never breaks eye contact also common in lying, two very different reactions. Another note is the stating of the lie or fear in the statement, " Yes, I would take a lie detector test. " rather than something along the lines as of course I would, or I would take it a hundred times over(E.G providing evidence of ones innocence instead of repeating the lie or fear).

However, I think the reaction of the Ramsey's was nothing short of sheer agony and devastation. It's so obvious on John's face how much he loved her when he talks about her or shows someone a picture she drew. I saw the same pride in Patsy.

Based on human physiology, JonBenét could have eaten the fruit cocktail (it was later proven to be more than just pineapple, but included grapes and more) at the Whites', or even at home before she left for the Whites'. But to have reached her small intestine instead of her stomach, it could NOT have been eaten any less than two hours before she died, and possibly up to six hours. So, it wasn't ONLY pineapple in her system and it most likely could NOT have been fed to her by the killer. Now you know.

It's pathetic how some people have nothing better to do than LOOK for ONLY the negative in others, regardless of the updated evidence.

Seth- This interview was over 4 yrs later! Of course they had to stop and think..proves it wasn't rehearsed doesn't it?

[@TuesdayMoney]

Patsy is asked if she would take a lie detector test and she has a slight pause, looks away, "yes..." shaking her head NO the entire time. Yuck.

[@monasplaypen9471]

yes!!! i noticed that too

[@angellbarnier3608]

its funny how they stop at every sentence like they are thinking of an excuse to say.

[@christina12311979]

This entire case has been so confusing and made no sense. for example, the ransom note: it's addressed to John but Patsy finds it and even though they warn against contacting the police, she still calls them. so, she either didn't care about these people killing her daughter or she knows that jon-benet is already dead. the letter was weird. why tell John that if he contacts police that they will kill his daughter if jon-benet is already dead? who wrote that letter?

[@1974Coconut]

I think police should have separated these two, John seems very honest in these interviews, he speaks even of his feelings very truthfully, but Patsy instead seems like hiding something and defensive,sometimes smiling and arrogant. Could it be Patsy was behind this crime OR knows who is, but John doesn't.

[@justinhartmann2857]

Sadly we will never know. Hopefully Jon will come clean or his son. I pray this will happen.

[@pabletecornio]

Here after I watched a South Park episode.

[@julez8053]

It's amazing how convertible they are. In each interview they appear like complete different people.

[@rachael_615]

As she says yes, she is shaking her head no. Body language

[@magical8013]

They had to do it, who in their right mind stays in the house for that long after hitting a kid in the head and most likely knocking them out. For an hour after and write a ransom note three pages long. Someone who is comfortable in the home. I have never seen another case like this, unless everyone in the home is no longer living. That's the only time a suspect feels comfortable in a home and stays there longer.

[@agamerscoven]

4:20. That is all.

[@maxteis5006]

Why would a higher priority be to bury your daughter then to find the killer why do you keep saying singular when the note clearly says plural what do you know

[@asong4thedead]

They know everything. Barring a deathbed confession from John, I doubt we'll ever know the whole truth.

[@bouncycarter9410]

The brother did it.. Parents covered it up.

[@LilMiagi05]

Dude! There's another part of this interview that is taken out John Ramsey confesses. Barbara asked them both if they are responsible for daughters death and he said unfortunately yes! I laid her on the ground as Pasty then talks over him. Cases closed! A shame that happened. These people have money Period

[@Angela-wf1un]

WAIT WHATTTTT WHERE I need to see this

[@1krazmf851]

Let me get this right your kids missing the cops ask you to leave your house so they can secure the scene to help save your kid and you want to fly back home to Atlanta because that's where you're from and you just wanted to go home. Most people would stay in the area where their kids are missing.not call their pilot so they can go home they basically wanted to go home because they knew there was nothing else there for them.

[@teaandcrumpets1780]

I wished I could the one interviewing them so I could be like "the fuck you stuttering for" and call them out on it

[@BurgundyBlake]

the parents are clearly innocent. lou smit is a pretty convincing detective if you listen to his thoughts on this.

[@robincosby516]

No. What's clear here?

[@MsColtonJ]

Nope. The father killed her. When you lay out the circumstantial evidence, it adds up - incl. the sexual assault allegations.

[@robincosby516]

Conspiracy cover up. Ramsey did indirect business with governmentally big money entities. Someone killed that kid because she was making John look less like a respectable international businessman and more like a child hooker farmer. Possibly Patsy was trying to push the kid into pageants for her own sense of maternal gratification. Big marital conflict, she's sabotaging him. It fucked with his rep and he couldn't control it. Billionaire. Ice. Cold. Pop. How much big money would have been lost if he got caught involved in her death on any level?

[@jolinegeller7702]

Heidi Hocking parents are innocent, yes;)

[@dansr6880]

Heidi Hocking Lou Smit is wrong! There is no evidence of an intruder. He got close to the Ramseys and was blinded by faith! The Ramseys used his faith in God to befriend him. You CAN NOT befriend someone you are investigating! Nothing he said in this case is credible or evidence based. It’s his theory that he couldn’t prove.

[@icedoria]

`we`re suffering from having lost THEIR child` weird way to put things and also the father has not been told that his daughter was dead, he found her!

[@tiffanygoins3228]

so pasty got a male DNA speciem sample of someone and put it there? come on people!!!! and someone's dna they can't find???? I do not believe no one in the family did it.

[@jolinegeller7702]

Tiffany Goins the family is innocent yes, they're cleared

[@cicely2084]

Tiffany Goins ~ Touch DNA. Could have come from the manufacturer.

[@kats.southernliving]

I don't know how they got off the hook. But yet there's tons of people who get locked up now for the craziest things with absolutely no evidence..

[@fabiantr100]

+Kathern Brown they got off because they paid off alot of people, follow the money

[@ashleeeeeeeeee_]

smh they did it,,,, total Susan smith emotions! All I can think about it possible motives, what would they gain by killing a 6 year old???

[@dianabxh]

Also is important to know if he was telling the truth or lying about that business meeting, after that you can judge his state of mind. You wrote "the author does not say". Suppose you are accused for a murder, do you think is right not to verify your alibi?!

[@anastasia2657]

You are writing gibberish. What do you mean it is "not important." It's very important to show the state of mind of JR. In other words, it is not "natural" to want to go to a business meeting on the heels of finding our daughter murdered, and that was Kolar's point. This is not something Kolar "made up" or was a part of Kolar's "intuition." This is what the police wrote down at the time it happened, and this is what Kolar read when he went over contemporaneous notes of police.

[@josiefowler7886]

Shaking her head whilst saying "yes I would take a lie detector test" shes a LIAR.

[@sjdm11]

I do not think they murdered her, but they might have killed her....there is a difference. Murder is the intent to kill... She could have possibly been abused and died from her injuries.

[@mandycookie5080]

John has a cold dark stare & is looking down to the right during all these questions

[@smoochiecoyle2533]

How can the mother keep poser like that, does she ever not be a pageant even when her own child is raped and murdered in her own home, fuck those people are holding it all together so well, bravo bravo.

[@smoochiecoyle2533]

Maybe they had been better off not doing so many fucking interviews, making them look staged and guilty.

[@mechanicalbride5446]

Guilty as fk.

[@historicalfashionpassion]

I must admit ...they look hesitant when asked if they’d do a lie detector test.....they didn’t go....oh yes sure...no problem!....straight away like I would......

[@liinu01]

So the guy who confessed to the murder was not charged, as his DNA was not the one found on the body... so he would have been either someone scared into confessing, or otherwise controlled into confessing, probably.. or just someone hungry enough for publicity..

[@dianabxh]

John wanted immediately to leave the house. Why?! He wanted to protect the life of his son, I think. The ransom letter was thrown on the stairs, does it means something? A continuity of kidnaping or killing? And why the intruder theory was discussed around the window and not from the main entrance? A "victory" can be done openly not from a small window!

[@amberlight1994]

rip pasty and jonbenet

[@skyeabov1265]

I don't wanna snitch. But it's obvious you guys need help. Mom did it. Dad covered it up the end

[@dianabxh]

Then, did the investigators verified if he really had that "business meeting"?

[@jackhersh1]

There are many lies that they told throughout this investigation. I am not saying they did it but there are inconsistencies.

[@cherylc3696]

What inconsistencies did you see? I didn't notice that. I really am curious to know what you heard.

[@jackhersh1]

I study this case and the inconsistencies is that John Ramsey cooperated with the police but many detectives say that they did not. It was 4 months before the Ramseys interviewed with the police. That is part of why they were suspects. John Ramsey is a very self-righteous man. He has always behaved defensively. Patsy stumbles over her words.

[@cherylc3696]

The Boulder cops also leaked lies to the press trying to get the Ramsey's to confess. They were relentless with the Ramsey's.

[@Crimejaildotcom]

Cheryl C It was the DA's office not the cops that got in bed with Team Ramsey and leaked.

[@cherylc3696]

CrimeJail The COPS screwed up big time. Everyone knows that!! They're the reason this case was never solved.

[@annettebarlette9471]

The killer didnt take time to find the child name, These folks couldnt afford motel 6. To wait for police to do job to find killer, we can only go to police station between 10- 3, pm to help find killer.

[@Crimejaildotcom]

The parents THINK they are innocent because in their mind God has forgiven them for covering up the accident that occurred that night.

[@toochangz]

DNA testing exonerated them

[@sarahrose9921]

+Jack Bird True, but just because their DNA wasn't found doesn't mean they didn't cover for the killer or were otherwise involved.

[@Jeff_Chill]

ahhhhh god! the way at 3:51 where she says "I would take a lie det-*GULP* tecter test.." while shaking her head "no" is just too much for me to handle.

[@anastasia2657]

In Kolar's book, and Kolar went over all the evidence, was the John wante dto leave the house and take a plane to Georgia "because he had a business meeting."

[@MissJnet]

The 3.53 stuttering.

[@MatthewPlatz]

John Ramsey wanted to fly home to Atlanta to be with his family. There's no way I could leave my daughter behind, in whatever state. Certainly he had status friends, or a local condo to fills his families needs. Not to mention you'd be hanging onto your son, and any family members, under police guard, ever vigilante to protect them from further harm. Never saw this from his interviews. Just continual distancing.

[@lisamikaela8199]

Guilty af

[@FALLENSTARS2917]

Even if your innocent its still scary to think you can still be put away for this. Not saying theyre innocent. However, the comments of people saying "they look guitly" or dont "cry enough" or dont act the way you think they should is just absurd. I know I would still be scared, even if i was innocent, knowing innocent people get put away all the time and also that people are looking and judging my actions would make me even more nervous. I cant imagine going through that and being told that I am not acting a certain way.

[@Angela-wf1un]

I mean why would they be scared if they weren’t guilty but I’m literally like 110% sure that they are

[@dianabxh]

For me the behavior of Linda is very suspicious. I am not sure if it was checked her phone calls. Does she called somebody else on the phone or just the police station? How is possible that she didn't search the house by herself but asked John to search it?! And more suspicious for me is how could John found JonBenet at the same place where his friend

[@jbdominicano]

Well, folks, it's easier to say "they did it" in the court of public opinion than in a court room. Fact is, with the evidence available, prosecution never would be able to obtain a guilty verdict. And that is well known, even today, in the Boulder District Attorney office.

[@dansr6880]

Jbdominicano someone in the house did because there was no intruder. It’s just a matter of if the two remaining people that possibly know what happened speak out. The case will never be tried because the incompetent police botched it and the Ramseys lawyered up and didn’t cooperate. There was enough circumstantial evidence to charge The Ramseys as the grand jury concluded. The Boulder DA is just to incompetent to get a conviction so they didn’t try the case!

[@garychiasson935]

Patsy nods no when says yes she would take a lie detector test. Body language doesn’t lie!!!

[@javayna2353]

How could they stay in the house!!!!!?

[@jennicase]

He has another daughter that died, what? 2 kids dead?

[@janedoh2625]

+Jenni Case - His oldest daughter Beth died in a car accident. John used to sit in the attic and wail after she passed. He showed almost zero emotion when Jonbenet was murdered in his home.

[@vortexstar]

+Jenni Case yea he also had involvement with Natalie Holloway mom, the media newspaper covered it once, but haven't heard of it again.

[@murdered33]

+Jane Doh you could say his first daughters death prepared him for the death of jonbenet, l have heard this said before from families who have experienced this

[@cherylc3696]

+Jane Doh How do you know he showed no emotion with JonBenet. Were you around him all the time??? That's an unfair comment.

[@Tv-bo5dn]

When the Ramsey's did show emotion people said they were too rehearsed and faking their grief. When they didn't they're called cold blooded killers. They were both heavily medicated during the early interviews which affected how they reacted. Honestly Until your child is murdered in your own home on Christmas night, you have to experience the horrors of find her lifeless body and knowing that you were sleeping right above where she was being tortured, and then being treated as a killer by the media and police YOU DO NOT GET TO JUDGE

[@meowllison9414]

I feel like if it was just Job in this interview I would find it pretty believable, but the way patsy tries to back up what he’s saying feels like overkill. Guilty people often seem to go overboard with the deflecting comments, like I can’t even believe someone would accuse me of that! How dare they! I would never! Because they are trying so hard to convince other people they aren’t lying. If you’re telling the truth there is no need to go overboard trying to convince other people. Granted it sucks to be accused of murder, however if they were innocent they would have a very clear answer to any questions that came up and not excuses.
