Fascinating and wonderful. I honestly thought this was destined to be unsolved.

I guess Mr. Ramsey may speak out once this is solved but Patsy died in June.
I think though that this will be the example law enforcement officials talk about for years to come in that sometimes when some evidence says it's the parents, sometimes when the parents behavior is off, it's sometimes not them.
I think many people will be able to learn a lot from this case.

Would it be too early to point out that the case isn't really "solved" yet. A suspect has been arrested and allegedly confessed.
As was pointed out by legal experts here, the prosecution still has an uphill battle to prove the case.
The present Boulder DA (not the one from the time of the crime) has called a news conference for tomorrow morning. Perhaps we will know more then.

I do hope this case in the end will be 'solved' so there is closure.

Is anyone else wondering if this suspect is telling the truth, or if he's gotten caught up in the story secondary to a psychiatric disorder?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the case solved, but I have a funny feeling about this guy. Of course, maybe his potential psychiatric disorder caused him to do it...

Actually, I was thinking the same thing as I drove to work listening to radio reports.
His comment allegedly was that he was "with" Jon Bennet when she died -- and that he was "not innocent." He said that the death was part of a kidnap plot gone bad, I think.
That leaves me with two thoughts -- one of which PsychTau expressed above, and the other that, if he is a party to it, there may be others involved in the original kidnap plot.

I've also heard that he may have talked (real or false confession) to avoid prison in Bangkok. Which would be much much much worse than prison in the US. (He was picked up in Thailand)
So, this case could be interesting. He's maintaining that the death was an accident and that he cared for JonBenet very much...

Why confess now, 10 years later, though?? They hype's died down. You would have thought he would have been "more psychotic" at the time.

There has also been rumblings that he is also responsible for the abduction and murder of Polly Klaas.
I think this story has much more things to tell.
It sounds like he is definitely involved and most likely guilty (imo) because he knew things about the JonBenet case that were never released to the media. That to me speaks volumes.
Regardless, I'm reading everything I can about this and am glad the parents are cleared.

Especially considering that his wife is insisting that he was with her in Alabama on vacation when the murder happened.

Actually, from what I've read and heard, she says they were living in Alabama.
