Case Report: The Murder Of Jonbenet Ramsey

In the controversial court case, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, many believe the family happens to be the killers; however, the court show take their focus away from the Ramsey family. The neighbors said the Ramsey’s spoiled their children and raised them the best they could, but others say different. The majority of the people that know about this case have their minds set on the parents being the murderers, but there is other evidence that could steer law enforcement away from the family. Evidence was found that night that could show the family did it, but other evidence possibly shows someone else. Since the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the finding of a ransom note demanding $118,000, random DNA tests, and confession by an individual have

1996, JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in the Ramsey's basement. It all started with a ransom note that was found by the mother, Patricia (Patsy) Ramsey, early that morning. The ransom note was not any typical short note left by a murderer, it was a two and a half page note. On the note, the killer demanded $118,000, one hundred thousand of it being in one hundred dollar bills and the rest in twenty dollar bills. The killer stated , "She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter."

It was found that there was a large list of things that were odd and suspicious to the case. First, the ransom note was written with a pen on paper that were both found inside the Ramsey home office and it included spelling errors that looked staged to be as if a foreigner who did not speak English wrote it. Moreover, when rewriting the note, it took approximately 21 and a half minutes to replicate, which seems odd that someone could spend that much time in their home without being noticed and without the fear of being caught. The 911 call made by Patsy Ramsey did not match the statements made by the family. Technology was used to enhance the 911 call received, which found troubling statements made by the Ramseys, including John saying “we are not talking to you” and Patsy replying with “what did you do?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. My original hypothesis was that the murder was an inside job. To me it didn’t seem plausible that an intruder could climb through a window, go all the way upstairs, us a stun gun on JonBenet and Take her down to the basement and kill her without making a sound or alerting the three people sleeping in the Ramsey household. Watching the CBS television special was vital in proving my hypothesis.

The initial investigation was extensive, however, the killer was not found. Today, the world still doesn’t know who had killed Jonbenét Ramsey or why. People have speculated whether an intruder had killed Jonbenét Ramsey, or someone within the family. With all of the evidence that was presented in The Case of: Jonbenét Ramsey, it could be inferred that the person who killed Jonbenét

The police investigating the crime said that the way the body was placed seemed like a cover-up for the crime, but could have also been moved by the father who found and picked her up, and that the ransom note was staged by Patsy Ramsey. In 2002 the DA reinvestigated the case, this time they looked at people that were not related to JonBenet as suspects. In 2008 the DA sent out an apology letter to the ramseys declaring that the family was completely cleared from the crime, and in February 2009 the Boulder Police reopened the investigation. There are two main theories about who killed JonBenet Ramsey one of the two is the Intruder Theory, Smits Theory was a theory that someone had broken into the ramseys

Based on the information obtained during the case review, it would seem that as most of society, I feel compelled to believe that the parents had some hand in the death of JonBenét. The lengthy ransom letter which indicates the writer was comfortable in the residence in taking the time to pen such a long and deliberate letter after starting over twice. Likewise, the unanimous agreement among the handwriting experts that Patsy Ramsey in “high probability contributed to the writing of the ransom letter” (KILLER REVEALED "Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?", 2015). A second point is the transfer of fiber evidence from the mother’s jacket to the rope, duct tape, and the blanket found on JonBenét body, although the mother alleged she redressed in

Perhaps even a family member of JonBenét Ramsey. It was around 5:00 a.m. on December 26, 1998, and Patsy walks down the stairs. She finds a two and a half page ransom note lying on one of the last three steps. This note is written with one of Patsy's notepads and a writing utensil in the home.

Semen was found in JonBenet’s underwear and it was said that it was from the father or even 9-year-old Burke. When Patsy called 911 to report a missing persons report for JonBenet, there were voices heard in the background of the phone call found by in. A deep voice, believed to be the voice of John Ramsey, says, “We’re not speaking to you.” Patsy is then heard asking, “What did you do?! Help me, Jesus!”

When I looked at the handwriting of the ransom note and the handwriting of Patsy, there are some similarities, within the letters. Any individual can make their handwriting look sloppy, but there will always be similarities. I believe Patsy could have been irritated by something that JonBent could have possibly done, which caused Patsy to hit JonBent with a forceful object that could have caused serious brain damage. Instead of taking JonBent to the hospital she decide to stage a crime sense of a kidnap and murder instead. If Patsy did murder her daughter she got away with the

Only eight hours after she had been reported missing, John Ramsey discovered his daughter wrapped up in her favorite blanket in the furthest corner of his basement (“JonBenet”). She

The girls body however was found in the basement later that afternoon. JonBenet’s skull had been fractured, she had been sexually assaulted, she was strangled with a garrote made from one of patsy’s paintbrushes. The police suspected that the ransom note had been written by Patsy and the ransom note and the appearance of the child’s body had been staged by her parents in order to cover up the crime. Apparently JonBenet's official cause of death was asphyxia a by strangulation. Her death was classified as

Along with the dead body left in the Ramseys basement there was a mysterious note left by the killer of Jonbenet. The note that was left shows that only either the Ramseys or someone close to their family could have done the crime (Osbourne 42). In the note it states Mr. Ramsey’s financial status, demanding $118,00 from the Ramseys. Investigators have been trying to link specific evidence to the note such as fingerprints and writing samples but no results are coming up.

For over 20 years, millions of Americans have been following the twisted and unsolved murder of six-year old beauty contestant JonBenet Ramsey. Christmas of 1996 brought terror to Boulder, Colorado as the world watched the crime scene unfold as Little Miss Colorado was found strangled in the basement of her family’s home. Pieces from the brutal murder such as a lengthy ransom note are unheard of, leaving the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shocked. Two decades later, the case remains a mystery due to police mishap, mishandled evidence, and an abundance of conspiracy theories. Suspicions have ranged from her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, to the outrageous, Santa Claus.

JonBenéts death infatuated a nation. The idea that a wealthy family could murder their child who was a pageant queen. From the ransom note having strange and unusual parts and words, to the cobwebs on the broken window being undisturbed, evidence pins the murder on John and Patsy Ramsey, leaving the world wondering how a seemingly loving mother could commit such a disturbing and gruesome
