I know that this has been done here before but being that opinions change with time: Who-dun-it??? ---

My response is exactly the same as it was 3 years ago. **I don’t have a clue about who killed her, nor do I care. Not in the least.** ---

As a psychic, I can assure you that it was a man, someone from location, or perhaps more than one, with the initials M. E. ---

The Butler did it. And like **Payton’s Servant** , I couldn’t care less. How many little girls get murdered _every year_ that we never hear about? What makes Ramsey’s death so important we should care any more about it? ---

Lived in Boulder for 6 years, 7 in Colorado. Lived close to the house and was sleeping just 6 blocks away when it happened. Conventional local wisdom is Patsy did it partially, John helped her finish and cover it up. ---

Whoever killed Jon-Benet Ramsay should’ve knocked her parents off first for giving their little girl such an abysmal name. Apart from that, I too reckon that **Michael Ellis** did it. He had no alibi for the evening in question, and the fact that he has posted to this thread indicates that he has a guilty conscience about it. And anyway, he’s made a confession. What more do you need?? 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mr. B \* > \*\*BTFU: You’re in Melbourne and actually know about this case? \*\* Sad to say, we get news from all around the world down here. 😃 Alas, oftentimes stuff from the US gets headlines while our local ‘news’ is relegated to page 3 and beyond. The Jon-Benet Ramsay case was headline stuff for a while, but I must admit, it has been some time since any developments have been reported. What’s the latest then? I’m still putting my money on Michael Ellis, at least until I get further evidence. 😛 ---

The mother did, the parents have guilt all over them. ---

I’m pretty sure it was my cat. Perhaps in conspiracy with someone named “Michael”. ---

I think it was both parents. Dad has serious issues of control and domination by naming his daughter after himself. After he did it, his wife helped him cover it up because she is fearful of his rage and (more importantly) losing the $, as she is a has been trophy wife of sorts. ---

I detected a fault in the Jon-Benet unit,so I terminated it. Then I had Dave disconnect me,so no one would ever find out. She wouldn’t return my love, you see. ``` HAL ``` ---

Actually, there have been some recent developments. They’re exhuming the body soon. …but it’s just because her mom wants to change her outfit. (joke stolen from David Spade) ---
