Maybe I am new here, but when I think about JonBenet Ramsey, it is not a matter of prurient curiosity; I'm wondering what to believe in. Wanting to know who did it "is a natural response," the chief allowed (though only for Boulderites). "It is often an effort to assure ourselves that such a tragedy will never happen to us."
