Unbelievable...
After a ten year wait, it appears that the murder of JonBenet Ramsey might finally be solved. Of course, we don't yet have all the answers (including the all-important WHY?) and we should presume innocence unless and until proven guilty in a court of law, but how amazing to have answers, even if only to a few of the questions.
For so long, the parents were suspects and Patsy Ramsey died (of ovarian cancer earlier this summer) under the same cloud of suspicion that was held over her for so many years. The media reports that she knew that authorities were closing in on a suspect and she died with the knowledge that her daughter's killer may finally meet earthly justice. Gratefully, she is spared having to listen to the details be repeated by the killer (*if* the suspect is the killer)...
We can debate the wisdom of having a small child go through pageants, wearing clothing & makeup completely at odds with her age... We can debate why John Ramsey moved his daughter's body, albeit in a state of grief & shock... We can question all the particulars of the case, but in the end, if the killer has been found and can be brought to justice, we can have closure, even if we also still have the knowledge that a little girl lost her life.
I'll hold my children just a little bit tighter tonight....
