Burke Ramsey was on Dr.Phil today. FYI, part 2 is on tomorrow as well.

And that guy is creepy to say the least.

Watching part 1, Burke was smiling and laughing through out the whole thing. It was just odd.

I know everyone expresses grief differently, but his upbeat attitude throughout the interview was disturbing.

I watched "Part 1" this past day as well. I can see why he might have wanted to avoid interviews for nearly the last 20 years. He did not do or say anything that made himself or his parents look any less guilty.

He kept looking away from Phil McGraw all the time during the Q&A, as well as doing the aforementioned sort-of-smiling while he was talking about his sister's murder.

This drawn-out-for-ratings interview is making me lean towards Burke being the initial culprit (at least as far as knocking JonBenet unconscious), as opposed to Patsy or John.

I don't think this interview will do him or the family any favors. Burke should have continued to remain quiet. I found it especially hard to watch him smirk while recalling his mother storm into his room and say "where is my baby." You'd think a memory of something like that would evoke sadness and pain especially since both are now gone.

Absolutely. The only time he looked in the least unhappy or uncomfortable (at least in Part 2--I haven't seen Part 1--) was when Dr. Phil showed him the childhood interview of himself saying Patsy was a good mother who treated the children equally. Either it's true and he misses Patsy, or it's not true and he's uncomfortable seeing himself tell such a lie to cover up either for what his mother or he did. Also really creepy was an image of the family exiting JonBenét's funeral, which showed Patsy smiling slightly and Burke smiling widely!

Part 2 was just as odd. The guy smiles and laughs at every question.
Next monday is Part 3.

He probably should have remained silent, or at least by now, learned how to appear a little more normal.

Did I hear his interview correctly that he got out of bed that night to go downstairs to play with a toy when everyone was asleep? If that's the case, did Jon Bonet join him? Is that when they ate the pineapple
and have iced tea and left it out as kids do.Lastly, where is the intruder and what was he doing, or is there one at all?

[Mb37985]

Burke's demeanor is certainly odd, but I also noticed he was smiling in the footage of him being interviewed at age nine days after the murder and at the funeral. Also the glass of iced tea had a tea bag in it. I don't know any kids that would make themselves that kind of beverage.

Some people have been speculating that he has some form of Autism and maybe that's why he has the creepy smiling demeanor. I didn't see the interview and don't know enough about Autism to say- just throwing it out there.

[Steve W.]

Maybe he does have some kind of disorder or disability but regardless of that, after watching both the CBS Special and Dr. Phil interview (with other related clips shown as well), I am convinced that he was the perpetrator. I don't think it was Patsy, I don't think it was John, I think it was Burke. However, Patsy and John obviously covered it up for him and staged the murder scene (pretending to find her later that morning in the basement, as if someone had broken through one of the windows down there and killed her).

The reasons why Burke Ramsey is "strange" is because of scrutiny since the day his sister was killed. Whether or not he committed the murder, the accusations have made him socially awkward. He might also have Asperger's, which makes one a little unusual to others (I have it and have been ostracized my entire life because of it), coupled with the fact he is bisexual (which may make people deem him "unusual" because of prejudice against non-heterosexuals, thus might be shunned by others because of those two factors).

I don't think he or his family will ever catch a break, because the investigation was bungled since the day it happened and most believe he or one (or both) parents killed JonBenet. Contaminated evidence, cover-ups and the whole nine yards you can think of, and that is why most of us believe the Ramseys did this, dirtied the scene and the investigation, and then paid off the higher-ups to keep themselves and/or Burke out of trouble.

My mom and I were talking about JonBenet's murder the other day, and I explained to her, that if Burke did do it, and was prosecuted back then as a kid for his own sister's murder, then he would have been put in juvenile detention until he was 18, whereas if he was convicted now as an adult, he'd be in prison for life, so I don't see why the parents would have covered it up like they did if Burke wasn't going to be locked up for the rest of his life, that saying IF he did do it. I feel bad for the girl, she would be my age today and who knows what she would be like and what she would be doing now. Makes me sad.

How do you know he is bisexual? Did he say that in the interview?
