Behind the Couch: JonBenet Ramsey Case Discussion livestream w/ Rebekah Sebastian (2021)
We have been asked about our thoughts on the JonBenet Ramsey case A LOT lately given the new documentary release. And although this is Dr. Shiloh’s Roman Empire, we have rarely commented on it. Therefore, we are releasing this audio from the Summer of 2021 (remember those pandemic days?) when Dr. Shiloh and Rebekah Sebastian discussed key elements of the case, the intruder theory, and even some suspects not mentioned in the recent documentary. We end things with a little audience participation trivia game. *Please note that this was recorded in June 2021 and, although we pivot into a serious tone when discussing the case, there are jovial moments in the livestream while interacting with a live audience. Learn about Rebekah Sebastian’s projects here. Join our Patreon family! You can find all of our resources on our website: https://www.la-not-so-confidential.com/ L.A.
