It has to be someone who had access to that info. How could you get that info? Its not like its public. I have to wonder if it was someone who worked for the family or friend of the older teen in the house.
I don't think it was the parents at all. They are not stupid enough to put the exact amt down. As far as the pineapple..she could of got that out of the fridge herself right? I know when I was younger I always got simple snacks myself at that age.

They refused polygraphs and got lawyers because they are smart and informed. A polygraph can be deceptive if the person is upset. I think they would be upset in this. Also the first thing you do is get a lawyer so cops don't try to walk you into a false convictions. There are false convictions (which is pd scary) that get overturned when cold hard evidence is shown otherwise later on in other cases. I know the state of PA has put innocent people to death.

3 days prior to her murder, they had a holiday party at the house. Whoever murdered JonBenet could have been there, they knew the layout of the home and personal information. The police did a botch job and the media had a field day with this family.

Exactly, what informed intelligent person wouldn't contact an attorney immediately when you find your child dead in the basement.

If the police had immediately started looking for the killer, that person probably would have been found. In fact, there was a neighbor who committed suicide not long after JonBenet was murdered. Such a tragedy that they went after her parents. I'm certain Patsy is in heaven with her now.

They think the killer was in the house for awhile and heard the Ramsey's talking! The biggest mistake the Ramsey's made was not repairing a broken basement window and not locking all the doors when they left that day. Very naive of them because their house was located in a downtown/type area, not a suburb, where you would be more safe. They were rich and had paid help(not live-in) and never paid attention to these things, like the rest of us would. I got this info from their book or another one, one their help wrote, can't remember.

A lot of that stuff was staged to make it look like an intruder. Even the discussion in the article is slanted in that direction instead of looking at the scene as a skeptic.

The family handled the body so none of that evidence is being admitted as evidence because they can't prove if it was added before or after the discovery.

The parents had nothing to hide or stage, they didn't sexually assault the child and strangle her to death, there was no evidence to prove the parent involvement.

Her case has always intrigued me and I still hate we don't know who did it.

At the same time, there are lots of unsolved murders in this country.
I am sure hers got lots of attention because of her involvement in beauty pageants, her parents economic status, etc.

There was plenty of physical evidence, but much of it has been compromised by the location of the body and by the handling of the body and the fake ransom note. There's also the possibility that evidence had been taken out of the house since the police failed to seal the house before it was processed by the crime technicians. Family members were allowed to come and go, including the parents.

The parents never acted like grieving parents. There was something very odd/strange about both of them. And, there were things that didn't add up about their statements. Yet, some of the way the child was found doesn't add up to the parent's being involved. A true mystery.

You're right they didn't, even so, the evidence says they told the truth. Look at Susan Smith, was around 94, based on her original accounting and grief...academy award winning performance until her admittion.

I recently saw a story about a teen so calm and collected recounting her story to the police, they didn't believe her, but the reason she's still alive to tell her story and able to recount details that lead to his capture.

Not everyones actions fit police profiles as to validity.
