08/17/2006: "I'm Not Buyin' It ..."

So, after nearly 10 years and God knows how much money, a suspect has been arrested in the murder case of JonBenet Ramsey. The media, naturally, is ejaculating all over themselves as they race to put the details - any details - on the air. If they happen to be correct, well, that's just a bonus. In the mean time, those whose morals force them to practice some kind of responsible journalism are already pointing out that this guy's story has more holes than Swiss cheese.

My take: This guy's a serious nutjob who gets off on the attention. He's a borderline pedophile who was clearly attracted to the child, but only after her death. I'm betting he never saw her alive. He may have seen the coverage of the case, or the pictures of JonBenet dressed like a 6-yr-old version of a blow up doll. Whatever the source, he developed an obsession and now that same perverse logic drives him to seek out the media and tell his made-up tale.

All the while, John Ramsey lays low, thrilled - and no doubt amazed - that the spotlight is turned somewhere other than on himself and his late wife, Patsy. JonBenet's parents were the number one suspects from the moment they decided to not cooperate with law enforcement, and they remain at the top of the list in my mind. Ramsey'd better be careful, though, because once this freak in Thailand is shown as the whackjob he is, there will be renewed attention paid to the other suspects ...
