Jon Benet Ramsey
 

I know this issue is very old...But, it's never really been resolved...So, I was wondering what your opinions were since we never discussed it here...


You guys think they did it?


I think so...

nevermind

...... Enlighten me, i´m danish.:) :rolleyes:

Her name was an amalgam of the first and middle names of her father, John Bennet Ramsey.

Her mother Patsy was a former Miss West Virginia.

JonBenet, who was killed on Christmas Eve, was once crowned Little Miss Christmas.

JonBenet's death was the only murder in Boulder, Colorado, in 1996.

Patsy Ramsey said she sensed something was wrong when she couldn't find JonBenet in her bed on the morning of her murder. As Patsy searched the house, she found a ransom note on a back staircase.

The rambling note demanded that the Ramseys pay $118,000 in ransom if they wanted their daughter back alive.

Detectives found a broken window in the rear of the house but thought no adult could fit through the hole. And they didn't find any footprints in the newly fallen snow.

JonBenet was found dead on the floor of a small room called "the wine cellar," her mouth covered with duct tape. Her hands were tied behind her back. A noose-like garrote made with one of Patsy's paintbrushes was found around her badly bruised neck. Her skull appeared to have been crushed.

John ripped the tape off of JonBenet's mouth and carried the body upstairs. Police later moved the body to the base of the Christmas tree. Crucial evidence was possibly lost or tainted.

Boulder police rejected an offer of help from Denver police, a police department with far more experience investigating homicides.

John and Pasty took JonBenet's body to Marietta, Georgia, where she was buried under the watchful eye of the Boulder police and the media.

The appearance of videos of JonBenet performing in her various beauty pageants fed the public's hunger for information about her murder. In the videos, she was heavily made up, and she dressed and danced provocatively.

JonBenet's autopsy report revealed that she had been sexually assaulted before her death and that she exhibited signs of prior abuse.

John and Patsy offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of their daughter's killer.

Investigators could not find anyone who matched the DNA found under the fingernails of JonBenet's corpse. Nor could they trace fibers found at the scene.

In 1997, the Ramseys moved back to Georgia without ever having been interviewed by the Boulder police.

In April 2003, a new district attorney issued a statement that a review of the evidence indicated that JonBenet was probably murdered by an intruder, rather her parents.

The case remains unsolved.

I haven't heard anything about it in so long I kinda forgot alot about it but newbs post kinda jolted my memory on some of the issue. I remember the father seemed very unconvincing. To me it looked like they were those ''showbiz parents'' who force thier kid into things and literally whip them into shape and one day it got out of hand.(Well I guess you could say more out of hand)

Wauw, that´s one hell of a christmas story..

What i don´t get is this:

"JonBenet's autopsy report revealed that she had been sexually assaulted before her death and that she exhibited signs of prior abuse".

Why would her parents do that and how could the police see signs of prior abuse???

Of course it hasn't been proven that they did but for the sake of arguement.....If you can kill your child, you're basically capable of anything.




If there's markings on her body that date before the ''kidnapping''.

So you´re saying that "prior" in this context means a few days ago?

hello there, im new to this site an feel a little awkward jumping in on other peoples conversations but we've had several documentaries about this case on british tv. Always had serious doubts about anyone who shows their young daughter in beauty pageants. Seem to recall JonBenet's mother being especially pushy and competitive

So what´s your guess, stranger?
