The Victim's Shoes

by Lexi and Jessa

The details surrounding the JonBenet Ramsey murder have always been murky. It is not only one of the most well known murder cases, but also one of the most misconstrued. As detective Lou Smit's granddaughters, we have come to learn so much about this case, and, in our minds, it's clear that this murder was committed by an intruder. Follow along with us as we break down the evidence and go over the top suspects.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I think this is a great podcast with an insightful perspective from those closer to the case than any other media. The low reviews you might see here are from people who have their mind made up that the parents are guilty. So they came here to trash any other perspective. If you have an open mind and enjoy true crime podcasts, you will enjoy this.

Excellent an informative podcast. This podcast thoroughly discredits “the family did it” non sense. If you want the facts, then this is the podcast for you. If your mind is made up and you still believe a member of the Ramsey Family did it despite the overwhelming evidence contradicting that debunked theory, then this isn’t the podcast for you.

I have researched this case a lot, and I have my own theories... but this podcast is important. The intruder theory and Lou Smit are dismissed far too much. Even if the listeners don’t agree with the intruder theory, the overall conversation is biased towards the parents. I enjoy hearing the reasoning behind the intruder theory, and am very interested in hearing what Lou knows that we don’t. We haven’t worked on this case and I believe we need to listen regardless of bias. It’s not like we can’t make our own minds. There have been many sources, this is just another one that can be added to an important conversation. Keep it up! Respect to your grandfather and all who worked on this case, regardless of bias. I believe maybe one day, we’ll all know who did it.

I love what you women are doing to expose the truth about this case and the media’s role in corrupting public perception and spreading false sensational information. The information you both present is so thoughtfully articulated. I can tell a lot of work and care is going into how the story is being communicated and I love that you are carrying the torch of your grandfathers dedication...he would be very proud. I appreciate the clear evidence based approach. I pray that this will be the year this case will finally be closed and there can be peace for the Ramsey family and justice for JonBenet.

I’ve always believed Lou Smit was grasping for straws while trying to prove the intruder theory in the JBR murder. This podcast takes that to a whole new level. These people actually expect the audience to believe them solely due to the fact that their grandfather was on the case. Not only is all of the IDI “evidence” brought forth a total reach, the dismissal of factual evidence that contradict the intruder theory is just laughable. Not only do the girls often straight up refuse to talk about anything that possibly disproves the IDI theory, they make false claims. For example, they (along with Lou Smit) claim that because a hi-tech boot print was found in the basement it means an intruder did it. They said “no one in the family owned hi-tech boots”. Yet Burke Ramsey literally said during the grand jury that he owned a pair of hi-tech boots. Not only that, Fleet White Jr. (close family friend who was often at the Ramsey home) owned hi-tech boots. Telling blatant lies like this is just appalling and dangerous. If they were actually intent on solving the JBR murder rather than just stubbornly trying to prove their grandfather was right, they would be willing to look at and explore ALL the evidence. That’s how I know this podcast is straight bias. You can’t just say “oh that’s not evidence (because it doesn’t agree with us) so we aren’t going to talk about it at all or we’ll just say it isn’t true”. Please, people reading this, don’t believe everything you hear.. There are plenty of other podcasts that discuss the JBR murder in depth and regardless of their opinions, they’re willing to look at both sides of the argument.

If you are listening to this podcast and know little about the case, but assume that it’s a respectable podcast because the hosts are related to an investigator (who helped with the case...he wasn’t initially on the case), please please pleeease know that they are literally dismissing REAL evidence and promoting false evidence in order to make their theory fit. If something doesn’t fit their theory, they just dismiss it as unimportant or false, but you can literally Google things and find that they are in fact true. Some of the things dismissed are in the autopsy! A real, true, bonafide, medical record that can’t just be dismissed. You’re better off not listening to this podcast at all. It’s upsetting that someone could so emphatically believe a theory that is so strewn with misleading and untrue “facts”.
