I heard the analysis of the ransom note by an ex fbi profiler on Fox news. He stated the points of analysis but refrained from drawing any conclusions.
I am fairly convinced that it was a family affair.
Find and read the analysis and draw your own conclusions. Don’t have link, sorry to say.
Well, technically, he was the accused murderer, but it’s still officially unsolved.
I was fascinated by this case when I was younger. So I followed the many conjectures over the years. What makes WAYYYYY more sense than mutiny or mass murder was the theory that the alchohol that was carried on board was the key element. The idea that the cargo was responsible for the tragedy seemed mundane. Here are several cites for that thinking.

Folks getting off the boat, because they think the danger is ON the boat, and then coming to grief in a small, ill-equipped life boat…I can see that happening. And it explains a lot of the spooky evidence.

Don’t know Eve, obviously… But it sure doesn’t sound like suicide to me… Too many questions…

Thanks for the links, I am off to read them.

My mom hates OJ, but doesn’t think he did it. I think that’s weird. Anyway, she thinks he was there the night of the murders and may have even seen them get taken out, and that the person involved knew he knew - and that he wasn’t talk because of his kids.
I dunno how sound that theory is, because I was pretty young when the whole case came out, and I didn’t like OJ so I didn’t care if he got convicted or not, and therefore did not watch the proceedings.
However, despite the fact that I was rather young when JonBenet Ramsey was murdered, I always thought this scenario fitted:
The dad was touching her. He, for some reason, always gave me weirdo pedophile-vibes. So my theory is that the dad was doing stuff to her, and the mom found out. Mom never struck me as being right in the head, either, so my guess was that instead of being upset for the sake of her child like a normal mom was, she got jealous and murdered the daughter to focus Dad’s attentions back to her. Dad just covered it up because he didn’t want to get busted as a pedophile.
Recall that I was about eleven or twelve years old when JonBenet was murdered, but this is just what made sense to me at the time. It still does today, though.
