| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. This is Chapter 5, I believe, in our deep dive on the psychology of John |
| 0:06.9 | Bonae Ramsey. Amberto Castaneta is walking us through the story. Today, I believe, we're going |
| 0:12.7 | over... Intruder's. I.D.I. Intruder did it theories. Take it away, Berto. My name is Dr. Kirk |
| 0:19.9 | Honda. This is the Psychology in Seattle |
| 0:22.1 | YouTube channel and podcast. The full episodes are available on Patreon if you want to become a patron. |
| 0:28.9 | And who are you, Berto? My name is Umberto Cassagnia and I extract all the vitamins from the seawater. |
| 0:34.6 | All right. So, IDI, Intruder did it. So we've mentioned before in the previous |
| 0:40.5 | episodes that there's sort of like two main camps. There's the Ramsey's did it camp. And that one |
| 0:45.6 | subdivides, of course, into it. Like it was John. It was Patsy. It was Burke. It was a combo. |
| 0:50.3 | Okay. So I made a mistake in previous episodes because I mentioned that John Andrew Ramsey, |
| 0:55.6 | I was thinking that that was John Ramsey's brother and therefore would have been Jean Bonnet's, |
| 1:00.7 | the little girl's uncle. So this is the semen guy? Yeah, the one whose blanket with apparently |
| 1:06.9 | some semen was found in a suitcase. Yes. Okay. But it turns out that that's actually Jean Bonnet's older half-brother. I see. Yeah. So he's actually John's son, but he is much older because John had been married once already, had had three kids. One was the daughter who died in a car crash. The other one was this guy, John Andrew Ramsey. I see. In either case, the Ramsey did it theory can include him too, you know. |
| 1:30.3 | Then you could figure out, like, they have family friends that you could accuse, |
| 1:34.0 | and maybe they said it in the Ramsey did it, but probably not. |
| 1:36.1 | That might be more like intruder did it. |
| 1:37.9 | In either case, the other camp is intruder did it. |
| 1:41.7 | Now, the general idea here is that instead of someone that was already in the |
| 1:48.2 | house, someone broke in either the night before or early that morning or whatever and was the |
| 1:55.4 | responsible party for both killing John Bonnet and the ransom. Right. You were saying that there's a theory that someone got into the house before they even got |
| 2:07.2 | home and was just waiting. |
| 2:09.3 | Right. |
