Dubai was awesome. The amount of shopping I did there is, like, the most I've done, ever. And right now I'm obsessed with a few brand names. Totally obsessed.
First brand: Desigual. Oh MY GOD, that brand is awesome. It's very, shall I say, different. Colourful. Hippie in a sense, but also vividly cool. It's this brand from Spain. I have this amazing attraction towards their designs. Some of them are just so... 'Me' that I feel like I have to own them. Soon. One day. Hehe. And their motto is, aptly, "No es lo mismo" - "It's not the same."
Next obsession: Kurt Geiger. Oh well, what girl would I be if I'm not totally obsessed with shoes..?? So yes, Kurt Geiger is, to me, the ultimate shoe store. Well, Ultimate affordable shoe store. Never have I ever seen so many AWESOME shoes all contained in one store. I honestly feel that 80% of my shoe cravings could be satisfied by this store alone. And trust me, that's saying a lot. Pink stilettos, with gold heels, anyone?
My other newly acquired obsession is for... Jane Norman. The ultimate party wear. Your first impression of hitting the store would be: Pink!! So yes, that was the primary thing that attracted me. Their girls night out collection is just so complete. And, well, awesome. Something I would definitely wear. And would love wearing. I have yet to acquire anything from this store, though. *sigh* Someday. Someday.
So anyway. I am in KL tired and very jet lagged. So it's one of those days where the bed is my only friend. And thanks to technological advancements, even a day in bed could turn out into an educational 'journey'. (OK, I was surfing the internet while lying on my bed).
So I was surfing, and I stumbled upon the Ramsey unsolved murder case. You know, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the 6 year old beauty pageant whose body was found in the basement of her own house.
Well, I heard about it a few years ago, but it's only now that I actually really read about it. It's very interesting, a murder that was masked as a kidnapping. As in, a true kidnapper would not write a 3 page ransom note, would they?
The case was in 1996, after Christmas. It still remained unsolved. But the case was reopened this year, February (2009).
Initially, when her body was found, the main suspect (and splashed all over the media) was the little girl's parents. The police believed that their parents did it because, first, it was strange to find a ransom note, and then the body of the girl in her own house the next day. In fact, they believed it so much that they wasted valuable time they could have spent chasing down the real murderer, but instead, interrogated the parents repeatedly, and tried really hard to find evidence to proof it's them. Also, getting the public to believe them by leaking reports to local media.
Okay, what I wrote could be found on the internet, through many sources, including a handwriting analysis of the ransom note by a graphologist. My personal opinion is different.
The thing I really believe is that the parents didn't do it. That the police looked at it from a different angle. Instead of a kidnapping which turned into a murder, the police should have realised that the ransom note is a cover of the murder, to stall them from finding the body. The note said that the kidnapper was going to call the next day. So instead of looking for a body, or inspecting the entire house thoroughly, they waited for the phone call, which never came.
And only when the phone call never came, did they actually really inspected the whole house, and found her body, in the basement.
Seriously, it is just too obvious that the parents didn't do it. Why? Because if they really wanted to kill their own child, they would have been clever enough to get rid of the body somewhere really far and then report her missing. Inviting police to come over and inspect their whole house is just not what a murderer would do if they know that the body is in that house. I mean, in the frenzy of panic after murdering someone, wouldn't the first thing that comes to mind is to cover up your tracks? Especially if it's the first time, since the parents didn't have any criminal record.
So yes, my belief was confirmed because when they reopened the case this year, by using so much more advanced DNA analysis, they found out without doubt that the parents didn't do it. Which was when the police department wrote an official apology note to the Ramsey's. See?
What I'm pretty weirded out by, is that I have this feeling that the parents somehow knew who the murderer was, but are not telling. Or at least, they subconciously has someone in mind but is not letting on. The thing is, the murderer demonstrated in the note that he/she knows the Ramsey's too well, including how much the father's bonus was that year.
And so, why are the parents not saying anything. I was thinking and thinking. There's only two reasons: first, that person is of someone close, possibly a family member. Or, they could be someone with power, or standing. In both cases, the parents would not want to jump the gun and point fingers where they might not be right, and get the person in unnecessary trouble. However, I think the second one is more possible, that is, someone with considerable power. Perhaps even someone with religious standing, and someone who's helped out the family a few times. These are the ones you surely wouldn't want to piss off, especially if you're not 100% sure about it. I mean, imagine the situation. If you knew, say, 60% that it is done by (only for example) a religious teacher. I would say, some people would not let this suspicion on. Why? Because the risk of being wrong, and attacking someone like that, is too great. But then again, that's just my personal opinion. I have heard stories about religious people molesting and raping children and stuff, and instead of their parents reporting it, they just turn a blind eye and let it happen.
So I read the autopsy report: Or at least part of it, anyway. I've come to the conclusion that the murderer is left-handed. Why? Because too many of the injuries happen on the right side of her body. And from the back, on the left side. See, if the girl screamed, and then the murderer panicked, and then he reached for the nearest heavy object he found, he would do it with the hand he is most used to. She was hit on the right side of her head. So the only explanation is: he's left handed.
So anyway, its 3.30am, and I'm off to bed now. Or at least trying to, given my level of jet lag-gedness.
I'm pretty much very interested in the Ramsey case, but all that is just my opinion. I know it could all be wrong anyway. But well, it's logical to me. Just give it a read.
Good night.
Fights and battles have begun
