| The rope was likely obtained prior to the murder. Fibers from the bag containing it were found in JBR’s bed. Fibers from the rope tied loosely around JBR’s wrists were also found in the bed. Looks like PR in fact did know about this rope, or at least a photographer did.
One final incident that was recorded in a manner fairly credible relates to the Melinda’s boyfriend at that time, Stewart Long. Melinda was JR’s daughter by his previous marriage. At the time of the murder Melinda was 25 years old. Melinda and Stewart arrived at the Ramsey’s Boulder home at 7:55 p.m. on 26 December, 1996 in response to the news of JBR’s death. Stewart, under deposition or affidavit (need to verify that), stated that JR immediately told them as they met in the front yard that he had found JBR’s body at 11 a.m. It isn’t clear to me how duress over his daughter’s death would have any causal link to such an error. JR found the body around 1:10 p.m. that day. However, the time of 11 a.m. does coincide with the time period for which his whereabouts are unknown. This discrepancy has never been reasonably explained, as far as we know. In her book, The Death of Innocence, PR wrote that when she first found the rn, she thought at first that it was a message from LHP repeating a request to borrow money (LHP had requested a loan of either 2000 or 2500 dollars to be repaid by paycheck deductions somewhere around the 24th of December. Ostensibly, PR agreed and was to leave the money on the kitchen counter on 27 December, 1996). We were initially inclined to read this as another attempt to use LHP as a pawn, but decided it spoke too directly to PR’s state of mind and dismissed it for the purposes of a best-fit. 
The last known likeness of JBR, right, recorded the morning of 25 December, 1996. PR is left. Narcissistic Personality Disorder with features of Anti-Social Personality Disorder; co-morbid with Histrionic Personality Disorder and Grandiose Delusional Disorder – “Somebody Check my Brain” Okay, that’s a mouthful. Where in the hell did that come from? The answer is fairly straightforward. We took the behaviors demonstrated during the murder sequence and put them in front of 3 licensed psychologists. We then asked them what would be the most likely diagnosis if that person were to submit to review? Of course, some conjecture is involved as the psychologist cannot actually see the patient themselves and cannot give them standardized psychological tests designed to measure the characteristic symptoms of these disorders. That we see 3 distinct disorders here is not unusual; usually serious conditions involve multiple disorders in one diagnosis. This is called “co-morbidity”. But many argue that the Ramsey’s had no history of mental illness. And this illustrates clearly my earlier point about how easily people underestimate people with these disorders. It also reflects considerable ignorance and a naive view of the nature of personality disorders. Even if a sociopath (anti-social personality disorder) consented to evaluation, and didn’t go through the usual elaborate schemes to avoid diagnosis, detecting sociopathy is incredibly difficult due to the nature of the disorder. It is a well known fact in psychology circles that even if a sociopath submits to evaluation, it usually results in a negative finding. That is, the diagnosis cannot be made. Only when the individual is arrested for serial murder, for example, do the behaviors they’ve been concealing come to light. The essence of sociopathy is an almost super-human ability to present a false image of oneself. They appear perfectly normal, well-adjusted individuals with families, careers, volunteer vocations, etc. They can even be quite functional in their family, career and community roles. Everyone who meets them who is NOT their victim thinks they are the most wonderful person they’ve ever met. But they leave a path of utter destruction of human lives in their wake, staging it in such a manner that assigning accountability to them for the devestation of people’s lives is incredibly difficult if not impossible. Having noted this, people with these disorders are also masters at avoiding these diagnoses. They “don’t like” psychologists and do everything possible to avoid an evaluation. When forced into one, they are often non-cooperative or simply incredibly deceptive. They know what an empath expects to see and hear and they mimic it flawlessly. They are the most dangerous personality types in existence. They are truly human predators and feel nothing when others suffer. They have no conscience whatsoever. Some biologists believe that this is in fact a superior form of intra-species competition (perhaps gone wrong) in which the sociopaths can, given the right secondary traits, out-compete the empaths around them and gain the upper hand by exploiting the reciprocal altruism empaths are accustomed and hard-wired to apply in their human relations. Scary? The Narcissistic personality is even scarier. Narcissists, like sociopaths, lack empathy. A hard-core Narcissist is even more dangerous than a sociopath (in some sense) because Narcissists tend to be less impulsive and more able to think through their behavior, usually becoming violent less often. This helps conceal their true motives in human relations. Another difference is that Narcissists are in love with themselves, so they are capable of loving but only if it is themselves. They love no one and nothing else. Narcissists have an incredible sense of entitlement and special status. They are never wrong, are fundamentally superior to everyone else, tend to lunge into battle reflexively even when there is no enemy on the battlefield (battle here taken to mean fighting others through litigation or other barely legal means). Everyone in their lives is a tool to build their own ego and to serve their public image, their wants and their desires, regardless of what price the victims must pay in that role. They see the world as full of victims with themselves being the predator and that this is some kind of divine right granted them, or some kind of natural order that is rightfully as it is. Much of this is subconscious, but evidences in their behavior. The only way to definitively identify people like this is to track their public record and determine if their past behaviors denote any pattern of destroying lives. You cannot interview them and expect them to hint to it. They’re way too good for that. When we write of destroying lives we’re not talking about conning victims out of 1000 dollars. We’re talking about conning an 80 year old widow out of her one million dollar, hard earned retirement. All of it. And leaving her destitute on Medicaid. We’re talking about putting so much pressure on someone that they commit suicide, and then moving on to their next mark as if nothing happened. We’re talking about people who callously could take all the children away from perfectly competent parents, ruining the parents reputation publicly, making them lose their jobs, create suspicions about them being sexual abusers, and never allow the parents to ever see their children again. And they can do it all just to make 20 grand, or even just to get a cold beer. They don’t care about you at all. This disorder, by the way, appears most often in professionals such as lawyers and doctors. Seeing the picture yet? Many women have seen this close-up in personal relationships. The wife beaters who convince women that it is they who are crazy! Wife beaters and dead beats that convince their mates that they aren’t thinking what they think they are thinking! They are nutjobs that have an almost make-believe memory. They are verbal abusers who say considerably damaging things to their mate’s children and often beat them. But the spouse notices one eerie frustrating fact: these lunatics can switch from one persona to another like a change in the wind to such a degree of perfection that you never thought it possible that a human could make that kind of personality switch that fast. So, all those that don’t live with the nut begin to think it is the battered spouse that is crazy and that the nut is just a good guy (and, believe it or not, a good gal. Women do this, too, but it manifests in slightly different ways). Their sense of humor is sadistic and almost always built upon the suffering of others. It is almost as if they gain some kind of sexual pleasure from other people’s misery. They remain unemployed, making the other spouse work but then do nothing to contribute to the family or domestic responsibilities. They then blame their lack of employment on, who else, the victim! But there are those who, having similar personality tendencies but not rising to the extremes of a disorder (called Axis I personality types), may live with someone like this. And having lived intimately with their pathological cousins, these rare individuals are the only ones that can really spot them immediately. We can spot them regardless of gender. We know them intimately. We don’t need science or detectives to see it. We know them when we see them. Our empathy is often limited to our children and those very close to us. We are competitive water walkers who like the fight. We know how to put on a public image. The difference is that we do have distinct boundaries we don’t cross. Hurting others for pleasure is one of them. Mistreating the innocent and defenseless is another. We see the rule of law as a basic boundary. But for the truly pathological, these boundaries are non-existent. There is no limit. Whenever they do remain within those boundaries they are doing so because it’s a part of their continuing, life-long con against society itself. We cannot stress enough to the reader that if you think “no history of mental illness” is a free pass, or if “no mother could do this”, you are horribly misguided. You are what we call a “mark”. Some might call you a useful idiot. Grandiose Delusional Disorder adds a twist of severity to Narcissism. With it, the Narcissist not only sees themselves as a uniquely special person of great self-entitlement and infallibility, but they develop delusional views of their role in life to support this. It often has religious overtones. It is usually employed by the Narcissist to resolve the dissonance created between the obvious discrepancies in their espoused words and beliefs and their boundary-less behavior. It serves to justify behavior that is clearly inappropriate, even to the Narcissist. One identifier I can relate to the reader in the religious context is that personalities like this tend to get intensely involved in more fundamentalist understandings of spirituality which places greater specificity of the burdens of compliance for its adherents. In other words, these sects tend to make very clear what behaviors are expected and not expected as opposed to treating some behaviors as more private spiritual matters. But when an adherent of a sect like this doesn’t “get it” or seems to think – not just act - outside those tight constraints, something is amiss. They are likely using the religion for their own gain. PR’s well known fear of death revealed something crucial. An adherent of the fundamentals of Christianity firmly believes – even though they may have a hard time achieving this – that their death is a glorification of God and is not to be lamented since it is in God’s will. For them, death is birth and all Christians who are not at peace with it have a deficit of faith that is unacceptable. But for the grandiose delusional, incorporating spirituality into their grandiose view of self makes this view optional. Their interest lies solely in the mechanisms by which this spiritual view can validate their grandiose sense of self. Perhaps her daughter was “Saved By The Cross” in a glorious “Victory”, but PR didn’t seem to believe that it applied to her. The crime scene is Histrionic in its nature. This is examined in more detail in the crime scene section, however, the dramatic nature of the ransom note, the suitcase and the garotte all speak to a Histrionic episode of the attacker. “And hence”, a best-fit analysis shows that PR’s motive was derived of her conclusion that her daughter was no longer useful as a tool to edify PR’s Narcissistic hunger and that JBR must be extirpated once she became a liability to PR’s lifestyle, inflated sense of self-worth and overall agenda. Being any more specific gets into state of mind, but that is the sad, egotistical motive for the crime. Sadie Ann and I now live in separate houses in which I hold primary custody of our son because Sadie simply cannot be around children. I chose this route because I didn’t want to alienate mother and son, and the psychologists advised against it suggesting she should never see her son again! Trust me, don’t assume that the motive provided is “too thin”. It isn’t. And the madness goes yet deeper. “California’s alright, somebody check my brain” (Alice in Chains). Once again evidencing a streak of Narcissism in PR’s personality is seen from a quote of Joyce Carol Oates. “Repeatedly, the Boulder police have been made to look like fools and have been ridiculed in the media: for instance, more than a year after the Ramseys were asked to turn over clothing they'd worn on the night of the murder, they finally acquiesced but provided more items than police anticipated, including a blouse of Patsy's that appeared to be newly purchased. In the meantime, the Ramseys hired a PR team to arrange for media coverage favorable to their interests, including a CNN interview, an interview with Geraldo Rivera, and a BBC documentary. In a typical scenario, less than two weeks after the murder, the Ramseys' press agent alerted the media to the fact that the Ramseys would be attending church in Boulder; when the media descended upon the church like vultures, the Ramseys were seen reacting like martyrs. A church member noted: "I was appalled. It looked so staged…. The church had been used…. I felt the church had fallen into the hands of a master manipulator. [our emphasis]" The Ramseys arranged to be photographed with prominent church leaders, including a bishop.” But, of course. Shit, I hope it wasn’t Alexander O’Neal! He confirmed me! So, we can see the motif PR has drawn but her brush strokes aren’t very convincing. The paint is coarse and the strokes contrived. It’s too granular. I wipe my finger across the surface and pick up watercolor. It just bleeds right off. It’s all fake, all of it. But what’s worse, I’ve seen this style before in … ”
