Ransom note

S.B.T.C. The neighbor Bill who played Santa Clause. Santa. Bill. The. Clause. 2600:6C55:6900:6B1:91D9:2B15:70B4:9C81 (talk) 05:22, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Claus, not Clause. 162.251.16.246 (talk) 04:59, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus regarding the murder is that the incident itself was some type of botched kidnapping or other conspiracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6000:C305:78DF:64FF:B7B6:D51C:313D (talk) 00:17, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Autopsy

"At the time of the autopsy, the pathologist recorded that it appeared her vaginal area had been wiped with a cloth."

Short of finding fibers (which would have likely been mentioned if that's what they found), how could he possibly tell this? — THORNFIELD HALL^(Talk) 08:42, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parental neglect?

Where did the parents think their daughter was? Did they think she was at school because apparently they didn’t have any idea was missing until Patsy saw the ransom note. 2601:80:4100:2C60:ADAD:5138:EB94:C0C5 (talk) 18:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it was early in the morning when the note was found, they probably checked her room and she wasnt there, i have to wake up at 4 in the morning for school and her parents may not have helped her get ready in the morning, so yes, they probably thought she was at school when they found the note (and before finding the note probably thought she was in her bedroom/school) 216.82.61.200 (talk) 19:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, it was the day after Christmas, so there was no school. If Patsy didn't yet realize Jonbenet was missing, she had probably assumed Jonbenet was still in bed. 183.89.250.246 (talk) 16:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
