It was written on a Christmas card for all to see, so it was no secret. Thinking about it, it would be more like the parents of JonBenet to be more concerned about the relationship that is occurring between McReynolds and their young daughter.
Who told the police about all the other situations between them? Who told the police about the glitter and future plans of having it spread along with his ashes? You know that story. I'd bet it wasn't McReynolds himself who told the police that.
It may have been thought that McReynolds' interest in JonBenet could have been a bit over the top, so they were stopping it in the early stages, and threw out the note thinking the house keeper would empty the bin the next day or so. Wasn't there some reason Mrs Pugh did not turn up on the 24th and the 25th (Patsy was planning to give her a cheque but it wasn't picked up).
Being a parent Patsy has the right to determine who JonBenet associated with.
What I think is if Patsy talked to anyone about the unusual relationship between Santa and JonBenet someone else could use that information to direct attention away from themselves.
McReynolds' daughter had been abducted years before on Christmas day. (confirm)
Mrs McReynolds had written a story about an abduction. (confirm)
So it is theoretically possible to mimic these situations to make it look suspicious that McReynolds was involved.
Confirmation of a sort from article at
http://web.dailycamera.com/extra/ramsey/1997/03/03-1.html"The News said police are interested in the McReynoldses because of two parallels to the Ramsey slaying.
One is the fact that the McReynoldses' middle daughter, then 9, was abducted along with a friend in Longmont and witnessed the sexual molestation of her friend. The incident occurred on Dec. 26, 1974. No suspects were ever arrested.
JonBenet was found murdered in the basement of her parents' luxurious Boulder home 22 years later. An autopsy showed that JonBenet may have been sexually assaulted.
Another parallel is an award-winning play written by Janet McReynolds in 1976. The play, "Hey Rube," is about the sexual assault, torture and murder of a girl whose body was found in a basement.
Janet McReynolds went with her husband to the Ramsey house on the night of Dec. 23, when he portrayed Santa at a Christmas party for the third consecutive year. Bill McReynolds was given a tour of the Ramsey's 6,866-square-foot home in 1995.
The McReynoldses told police their alibi for the night of JonBenet's murder was that they went to bed at 8 p.m. JonBenet died sometime between her bedtime Christmas night and dawn the following day.
"They've always said they're doing this for the purpose of exclusion," Janet McReynolds said of the police request for hair and handwriting samples. "I'm sure we're very far down the list of potential suspects."
Bill McReynolds said he had nothing to do with the murder and said his wife "could never be a suspect" in the case.
"I always told my students to seek the truth," he said. "Now I'm on the other side of it. ... I'm probably naive and stupid."
He said the abduction of his own daughter and the play are coincidences." End Quote.
Now what I'm proposing is that someone knew of both these coincidences and used them to direct the blame of JonBenet's situation on to the McReynoldses.
That comes under the term mentioned in the ransom note of "countermeasures", and it is a good one for it really baffles one to think how the similarities and the Christmas note go hand in hand (i.e. the closeness of the relationship between JonBenet and Bill McReynolds).
It certainly IMO points to someone close to the family and someone who knew the McReynoldses, and who is clever enough to exploit that knowledge.
