It has been twenty-one years since JonBenét Ramsey was murdered. Why have the police not connected anyone to her death? Who killed JonBenét? She was a beautiful little six-year-old pageant queen who was found dead inside the basement of her family's home. The two most discussed conspiracy theories are:
1. The family did it
2. An outsider did it
The most likely conspiracy of JonBenét Ramsey's death is the father did it and the family helped cover it up.
JonBenét was a beautiful 6-year-old girl. In the "JonBenét Ramesy Biography" They say JonBenét was a green-eyed beauty with gorgeous blonde hair (1). She was a beauty pageant queen winning 5 tittles including "Little Miss Colorado, Little Miss Charlevoix, Colorado State All-Star Kids Cover Girl, America's Royale Miss, and National Tiny Miss Beauty" (1). That just goes to show you how beautiful JonBenét was. The young 6-year-old was just a ray of sunshine, and the audience could not help but smile when they saw her walk onto that stage.
She was a brave, confident young girl. In the "JonBenét Ramsey biography" they said," she was a true southern girl who enjoyed the spotlight" (1). She had no problem having all eyes on her. The "JonBenét Ramsey Biography" also mentioned that with all the sparking dresses she would wear, she was very hard to miss (1). She made herself known on stage.
She was also a very kind and loving young girl although she would take her pageants seriously. In an InsideEdition interview, Thumper Gosney said that between the competitions she would go off to play with her other friends in the pageant (1). Today when you see pageant competitions kids do not go and play with their competition they usually just stay with their parents. JonBenét was not like that. She just acted like a normal 6-year-old playing together with others who would be considered her competition.
JonBenét was a very memorable young girl. Only 6 years on this Earth, and she made such an impact on people's lives that she is still being talked about 20 years later. In an interview with InsideEditon, the interviewer said, "These women belong to the class of JonBenét, and they still live in her shadow to this day" (1). There have been so many murder cases that have been left unsolved, but none of them are still talked about like JonBenét's case. There is something about that beautiful, young, confident girl that still just has people asking why?
It has been twenty years since the unforgettable murder of JonBenét Ramsey, and we still do not have answers. In the "JonBenét Ramsey Biography," they talked about the mysterious death of the beautiful six-year-old pageant queen in Boulder, Colorado: "On the morning of December 26, 1996, Patsy Ramsey called the police after finding a 3-page ransom note demanding $118,000 for her daughter's safe return" (1). But that note would later start the snow ball of questions. Turns out no-one ever took JonBenét out of her family's home (1). Her lifeless body was found in the basement later that day (1). Some of her injuries included a fractured skull, sexual assault, and strangulation by a garrote made with one of her mom's paint brushes (1). Her official death was ruled by a coroner as asphyxia by strangulation and craniocerebral trauma; the coroner rules it a homicide (1). The rumors quickly spread through the small town of Boulder, Colorado. People were talking and just asking themselves, "Who killed JonBenét?" (1). There were several suspects; family and strangers.
In the "JonBenét Ramsey Biography," they say the crime scene in the house was at risk when the father, John Ramsey, moved the body of JonBenét from the basement to upstairs (1). All DNA was now compromised by moving her (1). People say the Boulder police messed up big time by not securing the crime scene (1). Everyone in the Ramsey house were suspects, being looked at and interviewed separately (1).
Some pointed their finger at Patsy Ramsey, and in a survey taken at College of the Mainland one out of twenty-one, people say that they believe the father did it. And some of the evidence pointing at Mrs. Ramsey is the three-page ransom note, the bowl of pineapple, and the paintbrush stick used as a garrote. The biggest piece out of all the evidence people cannot seem to wrap there head around is the ransom note. They got writing samples from everyone in the house and were able to rule out everyone except for Patsy. She had quite a few similarities between her writing and the writing on the note. Also, the ransom note was written on paper from Patsy's stationary pad she kept in her office. JonBenét also had undigested pineapple in her stomach during the autopsy report which means she had to of eating pineapple an hour before she died. There was a bowl of unfinished pineapple on the kitchen counter of the Ramsey's home. But Patsy claims when they came home from the Christmas party JonBenét was already Asleep, so they put her to bed. So, maybe Patsy and Burke were up for a late-night snack and JonBenét just happened to get up and, come downstairs to join them.
Some people believe father John Ramsey killed her and, in a survey at College of the Mainland two out of twenty-one people believed this to be true. But why on earth would John kill his own daughter when he had just lost his older daughter in a car accident? Although, there may seem to be more evidence pointing to the mother Patsy or even brother Burke there is still some heavy evidence that points to Mr. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey was a very well-known smart guy who built up quite the company that brought in over 1 billion dollars in revenue. So, in the ransom note that was found the "kidnapper" asked for $118,000 dollars which happened to be almost the exact amount that Mr. Ramsey made in a bonus that year. It seemed the Ramsey's could have paid over 1 million dollars if they really wanted. If the person writing the note knew how much Mr. Ramsey made in a bonus that year then it had to of been someone in or close to the family. That is just a small piece of evidence that makes you question Mr. Ramsey the biggest piece of evidence: he moved the body.
The morning that JonBenét was "kidnapped" police asked Mr. Ramsey to search around the house to see if anything is missing and that is when he found his daughters lifeless body. Instead of Mr. Ramsey getting the police to tell them he has found his daughter he picked her up and moved her into the living room. Some people said he reacted like any father would and that is to just grab her and get her up to the police that is understandable to a point. But other people are saying it should be common sense for John to not have picked her because from that moment forward all DNA evidence was now tampered with and the proper investigation could not take place.
In the survey done at College of the Mainland thirteen out of twenty-one people think that the brother Burke killed his sister and some of the evidence pointing to him is: the marks on her neck from the train track set he had, his DNA was also found on the bowl of pineapple and he could have had the motive to do it. In the "PEOPLE's Original 1997 Story on the JonBenét Ramsey Murder," they talk about how Burke never got as much attention as JonBenét. We all know that brothers and sisters sometimes have trouble getting along with each other and that’s normal (1). But Burke had every reason to be jealous of JonBenét (1). She was always in the spotlight getting all the attention his sister was very well known in their small town (1). Burke probably felt like he was living in her shadow (1). The night before JonBenét's murder Patsy says that JonBenét fell asleep on the car ride home from the Christmas party. And when they took JonBenét straight to bed but, in the autopsy report there were traces of undigested pineapple in JonBenét's stomach, so she had to have eating pineapple within the last hours because of her murder.
In a Survey at College at the Mainland, five out of twenty-one people think an outsider did it. The main reason being is there was DNA from an unidentified person on JonBenét's underwear. Everyone one in the immediate family including friends were tested yet nothing was found. One of the suspects being "Santa Clause" who was a guy that came over to the Ramsey house every Christmas to drop off gifts and pretend to be Santa for the kids. He had written a play about a girl who gets kidnapped and is found dead the day after Christmas a couple years prior kind of like JonBenét's death. But an alibi and DNA testing quickly ruled him out as a suspect. One guy even confessed to the murder of JonBenét but ended up having a strong alibi. He was most likely doing it for the attention but no one understands why you would want that kind of attention. But he was not the only person who confessed to JonBenéts murder one guy confessed and, killed him-self shorty after people they could investigate him so maybe it was him we will never know.
The conclusion on the death of JonBenét is whether Pasty, John, Burke or a stranger killed her we will never know. So much evidence points to Burke killing her and the family covering it up. But with Patsy being passed away and the father growing older and the brother well in his late 20's early 30's it is safe to assume that whoever killed that beautiful six-year-old girl on that cold December night will never be caught. Someone out there knows who killed her and if no one talked twenty years ago they are not going to talk now.
