Who killed her indeed? This infamous case is one of the most bizarre murder stories of the Twentieth or any century, or is it? Michael Piehl who made this documentary believes he has the answer, and at the end we hear a long scenario from a detective about how and why Patsy Ramsey murdered her daughter, and how her husband cottoned on after seeing the ransom note in what is widely and unsurprisingly believed to be her handwriting. Having done this, he was faced with a terrible dilemma: support his wife or lose her as well. Patsey was his second wife, and he had already lost one (adult) daughter in a car crash four years previously.
Occam's razor tells us this is what really happened, but applied to human affairs rather than to Nature, Occam's razor is often wrong. Would she really have had the time to compose the note? Yes, she was up all night. Could they have kept it together under the subsequent intense pressure? The facts speak for themselves. Patsy Ramsey died from ovarian cancer in 2006, and we cannot really expect her husband to talk. Although they were never charged, the Ramsey's have long been convicted in the court of public opinion, so one more adverse verdict by Michael Piehl is totally insignificant in the grand scheme of things, even though it is almost certainly the correct one.
