Status Updates From The Death of Innocence : Th...

The Ramseys were certainly wealthy, and some things they say in the book make it seem like they are flaunting that. I understand why many people have a bad impression. However, this is really just the perspective of two grieving parents going through their worst nightmare made worse by a media circus and serious shortcomings in the investigation.

The Ramseys talk about their strong faith, and Patsy talks about her battle with ovarian cancer. This family was definitely quite wealthy. They had a private aircraft and a large house. Patsy also felt like an outsider as a southerner out in Boulder, Colorado. I understand why the public had trouble relating to them. They had an extravagant lifestyle by most standards.
