Carol,

Though my address is openly "RAMSEY" @nym.alias.net, maybe you 
are not aware that this is an anonymous and untraceable address. 
Stating my first name would defeat the purpose of the address. A 
very close friend of mine set this account up for me, which 
included a very lengthy lesson in encryption. Actually, the 
software does all the work. Maybe the best description of this 
address would be: "my protective shadow". Here, my words are less 
likely to be twisted or misconstrued. And so I will refrain from 
stating that I am Patricia Ramsey, John Ramsey, John Andrew 
Ramsey, Melinda Ramsey, or even JonBenet's killer himself. 

Revealing my identity would defeat the very purpose of coming 
here at all. I will will not sign my name to any mail here. Why, 
you may ask? Consider this: JonBenet's mother cannot afford to 
say any words, lest they get twisted as they always do. 
JonBenet's killer cannot afford to speak out in the open; 
moreover, he won't. Our talks might draw him out; like Poe's 
killer in "Tell Tale Heart".

I assume you will not care to speak to me again because I will 
not blatantly reveal my identity to you. Why does anonymity upset 
people so? After all I have been through, I think I deserve some 
anonymity and privacy. I deserve to speak my thoughts without 
signing my name, and possibly doing damage to my family in some 
way. I think this is an impossible task. I had information I felt 
was important. No one is listening. Parts of my theory have been 
delivered to the D.A., signed with this e-mail address. They did 
not care last September nor do they care now. They are Hell bent 
that JonBenet's parents killed her. The only way I could convince 
them that my theory is correct, would be to say I am the killer. 
That will not happen in my lifetime. It is my belief that, 
JonBenet's killer is obsessed with attractive, wealthy little 
girls. He craves their touch; their very presence. And then, he 
slowly becomes consumed with bringing his victim as close to 
death as possible, without actually killing her, until she 
ultimately dies in his arms; becoming his perfect possession 
forever. Now, who is going to believe that description coming 
from Patricia Ramsey? I know in my heart that JonBenet's killer 
was just that.

I wish to continue our talks here, anonymously. I also ask that 
you not print my words unless you inform me beforehand. If you 
would consider such an arrangement, contact me here. Until such 
time that I feel secure that my words are not being misconstrued 
in a way that might be damning to myself or my family, I will 
deny any connection to this e-mail address, if asked in person.

Sincerely
