HANDWRITING EVIDENCE2

Besides, on the police's arrival, they did not discover any sign of forced entry into the Ramsey home. Therefore, it remains unclear whether Patsy played a part in her daughter's death since she was the last person to be sighted with her.

The theory of the retired detective, Lou Smit, that an outsider broke into the house does not hold. According to Nickell (2017), Smit concluded that an outsider had entered the house through an unlocked grate and window that still had an intact spider web cover. Moreover, the window was small; thus, it may have been impossible for someone to go through. After the body's discovery, the police did not secure Ramsey's house that led to possible evidence contamination. As a result, the law regarded most evidence, such as palm print and hair from JonBenet's blanket, not suitable for investigation.

Several theories have existed concerning the ransom note, whether Patsy was the author and her daughter's killer. Perhaps the questions have also lived on why the police did not secure the Ramsey house as a crime scene.
