JonBenet Ramsey Murder: Brother Burke Ramsey Revealed Key Detail To Dr. Phil | TODAY

As the 20th anniversary of the still-unsolved murder of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey approaches, her brother, 29-year-old Burke Ramsey, has spoken out to Dr. Phil McGraw about his sister’s murder. Dr. Phil tells TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie that Burke’s odd smile throughout the interview shows that he is “a very socially awkward young man” who is trying to “control the narrative” about his sister’s death. He also says that there will be revelations about forensic evidence at the crime scene.

That's fine.. but it still doesn't take away from the fact that he did it, most likely accidentally, the Ramsey's had money, panicked, did everything in their power to cover it up, protect Burke. They rather have their reputation be their child got killed by an unknown intruder rather than the "bad seed" (Burke) narrative. People were likely paid off, the Ramsey's succeeded, they got what they wanted (exonerated). Did their best to preserve Burkes livelihood.

Just because someone got hit over the head with a flashlight causing a major concussion and skull fracture, doesn't mean she would 'die' from the instant impact. Because the heart is an involuntary muscle the heart would keep beating for a while until her body completely shuts down after realising what Burke had done the parents could have easily replicated the 'strangulation' hence causing the bruising the way it did if she was still 'alive' when she in fact was pretty much dead.

After all this time it should be fairly obvious that JonBenet was killed by someone in the family. The staged evidence left behind at the crime scene was too much, and too perfect. Remember, this was first reported as a kidnapping with multiple papers for people to find demanding $118,000. Doesn't that random number seem a bit odd in this case??? This was a 15 room mansion! If it had been a real kidnapping, JonBenet wouldn't have been left dead at the estate, and the ransom demand would have been through the roof. This kind of case makes me as mad as the OJ Simpson case. The murderers are right in front of their eyes and they are to inept to prove it. Nice crime scene investigation dipshits!

[@Ezra-gx2oq]

agreed!

[@DecapitatedPlaythings]

***** Exactly my point..,

[@DecapitatedPlaythings]

mep41376 Exactly what I was getting at. Well said! Everything points to the family in this case and nothing is being done about it. Yet our judicial system wastes time and money putting people behind bars for selling a joint! Get your priorities straight for crying out loud!

[@jasfer3855]

+B Davis. False, actually a majority of the investigators believe the parents had involvement but a lot of them disagree on whether Burke was involved or not. Grand jury was going to indict them but couldn't because they knew who did it, but because of circumstantial evidence they couldn't prove who did what, which was why the DA didn't move forward. John had a history of being in the navy so he would have knowledge of such knots. All evidence points to family. No exit or entry points, parents said they searched all rooms BUT the basement. If they're kid was kidnapped why wouldn't they search the basement too? Right after they got off with 911 even though the note said not to tell anyone unless they wanted their child beheaded, they then proceed to invite a group of family and friends over. Strange don't you think? Burke is heard in the background of the 911 call even though patsy said he was asleep the whole night. 911 call said after patsy thought she hung up, Patsy's voice went back to being composed. The ransom amount matched that of the bonus John was getting (indicating someone who knew the family). The crime was also extremely personal. The ransom note drafts were found in the house which closely match Patsy's left hand-handwriting. Examiners found that Jon Benet had been brutally sexually assaulted repeatedly, weeks or months before her murder due to her hymen not being intact and bruises and irritation around the vagina as well as other things, all of which had been in the process of healing indicating repeat sexual abuse. She had been to the doctor 27 times in three years with a majority of cases being vaginitis which is not seen in children commonly or if at all unless they're being sexually abused. She had a problem with bed wetting also another sign of being sexually abused. She was fed pineapple right before she was killed. A bowl with pineapple and Burkes and Patsy's prints were found in the kitchen and Burke had admitted to feeding her the pineapple. (Yet his parents said Burke was asleep the whole night). Neighbors said they saw a light on in the butlers pantry area which was unusual. Burkes pants and his poop smeared over her toys were found in benets room. Benet was covered with a blanket and tucked in in her favorite nightgown (indicating a personal connection with the victim and a feeling of remorse.) she wasn't killed until an hour after that blow to her head, which could have been from the flashlight or the baseball bat both found in the home. It was already proven that those marks were not stun gun marks, but were marks from Burkes toy train tracks. Patsy was in her clothes from the day before. Now let's consider this. How would an intruder stroll inside the house, walk to benets room and kidnap her while having to walk past benets parents and brothers room without being heard? Why did the Ramsey's confidently forget to turn on the burglar alarm that specific nights of all nights, and how would the intruder have known that? Why instead of making a run for it, would he then go to the kitchen and feed her pineapple, walk her down to the basement with no way of escape in the chance he was caught, hit her in the head, leave her there for an hour, presumably in that time, stroll around the house once again looking for a pen and part in the dark, make rough drafts of a ransom note before deciding on a 3 page long ransom note (the world record for the longest ransom note ever having been recorded) then go back to the basement, take the time to finish her off and casually stroll out of the house all without being detected and neighbors who were up around the time not noticing. John had said he broke the window in the cellar previously, but there was a spider web undisturbed by the window proving there was no entry point from that location. This crime was an inside job, it was too personal. Burke killed her and the family covered it up. That's the only conclusion I can draw from this. There has never been any case of a body being found in the same location of a ransom note. EVER. Whether it was the family or not, there was some degree of staging.

[@jasfer3855]

+B Davis. How about from actual files relating to the case? I'm sorry that you're pulling things out of your ass and calling it fact, but I have actual proof to back it up and can email you the evidence if you liked. I've been researching this case for 11 years and I highly doubt you've dedicated as much time or know more about the case then I do. Sorry you have such an ego problem that anyone who challenges you is automatically wrong and you can't even consider for a second the fact that there are other theories.

Nope, doesn't make sense, unless you already knew who did it and it was your other kid. I don't know for sure, but the more I read about this case, it's just so unlikely that someone was laying in wait while they were out to dinner. And it most definitely wasn't some stranger or a random pedophile.

[@Jmriccitelli]

It was Burke! Here is the evidence! Red Flag #1 After she found the note and checked Jon Benet's room, she called the police instead of running to her son's room to see if he was ok too! She didn't because she knew he was the killer! Red Flag #2 Once they did go to Burke's room, they told him to stay in the room and that the police were on there way. No one would say that because if it wasn't Burke, the killer might still be in the house! They told him to stay because they knew it was Burke! Red Flag #3 After the police interviewed them for 8 hours, which is always standard in homicides in the family home, The Ramsey's hired a lawyer and refused to speak to the police or allow Burke to speak to the police again. If you watch the ID channel, the police always have to rule the parents out first! They basically stale mated the investigation! Red Flag #4 When the police showed up, the Ramsey's had their friends over, their minister, walking through the crime scene and creating more chaos then needed! Should I continue?

And siting him being occasionally jealous or mean to his sister as "evidence" is just silly, when I was young I was very jealous when I felt my siblings were getting more attention then me, and I would be very nasty to them.

his mother wrote the note. all detectives said they believed her writing was very similar to it. the parents denied she ate any pineapple yet they found undigested pineapple in her stomach. on the ramsey table morning was a bowl of pineapple. when burke was asked as a kid he literally wouldnt speak about the pineapple.

[@soulfly3438]

@@vaernima the only problem is why did patsy write the note? it most assuredly was not burkes handwriting. he was 9. the moms handwriting was almost identical. why would they cover it up for him? he was 9. he wouldnt have even gotten into trouble. whatever trouble he got into woulda been super minimal as a 9 year old.

[@vaernima]

@@soulfly3438 I'm not necessarily saying that Burke was the one who killed her, I'm just saying it's a possibility. As for the note, there's many reason why she could have covered for him. They were a prominent family so it's possible they didn't want to ruin their image/reputation or want the negative attention. I'm not sure what American law is like but he could have be locked up in a reform home or mental institution at that age and they were worried about losing another child. Of course these are all just theories and hopefully one day her murder is solved.

Missed it? OR DOESN'T WANT HIS LICENSE TAKEN AWAY FOR VIOLATING LAWS GOVERNING PRIVACY?!!!

If a psychologist is caught diagnosing celebrities whom they haven't formally performed an assessment of, they could be stripped of their license! Dr. Phil obviously knows this; that's why he decides to euphemistically indirectly name "Asperger" by mentioning all the textbook/classic symptoms but never the name itself: loves computers, very socially awkward, feels uncomfortable around other people works from home so he isn't surrounded by people. It's pretty damn clear Dr. Phil missed nothing.

As a psychologist, I know that's how some people who suffer from social anxiety respond, but not everyone who reacts that way has social anxiety. I very much doubt you'd have a smile on your face the entire time someone discusses the brutal death or one of your relatives. If you did, I'd at least notice it was an awkward smile, he didn't appear too anxious too me and his smile looked genuine (notice the smile wrinkles around his eyes. People who fake smile tend to not have those). but again, those are just my professional observations, doesn't mean that he's guilty. I'm pretty sure he knows more than he lets on though.

As a matter of fact, such accusation pushed me to become very educated like yourself. Being completely real, I felt I needed to fit the mold of those who normally aren't accused. So excuse me if I'm not quick to formulate an opinion that insinuates his guilt. I am assuming the police department has done their jobs, and if the parents did cover anything up, then they are accountable forever. But we the people of the United States have no such incite without solid evidence to examine. So to say he's guilty means that you are cut from the cloth of those that supported slavery based on an ignorant assumption that blacks were as inferior as the animals. Clearly that is a mediocre opinion but you know what, slavery happened. So quick and uneducated judgement benefits no one, not even Jon Bonet.

[@jasfer3855]

+Nanny Boo there was other evidence on Benet as the crime scene had been contaminated. Grand jury was going to indict the Ramsey's but the DA couldn't move forward because they knew who did it but not who did what, and they also couldn't go forward because of the crime scene being contaminated by family, the Ramsey's friends, and police officers. Also it was already proven that it wasn't a stun gun but Burkes toy train tracks that caused those marks. Benet had been sexually assaulted weeks if not months before her murder and examiners said the assault was so severe she would have had evidence of blood and fluid in her panties and bruises around her vagina. You're telling me mom never noticed? She went to the doctor 27 times, a lot of the cases of it being for vaginitis, which is rarely seen in children and so commonly at that, unless sexually abused. She was bed wetting, another indicator of abuse. John had behavioral issues and his pants were found in his room as well as his feces smeared on her wall and chocolates. She was fed pineapple two hours before she died, and Burke said he fed her the pineapple. Meaning he was the last to see her. Rough drafts of the ransom were found in the house. There has never in history been a 3 page ransom note, and the body being in the same place as the ransom note ever! And at that why would an intruder leisurely stroll around the house looking for a pen and paper and construct a long ransom note IN THE HOUSE. He was in the house for at least 7 hours, why would he hide in the basement with no point of escape if he had been caught. No point of entry, no point of exit. The ransom amount was 118,000 which was around the amount John got from his bonus (indicating someone close to the family). Her body was covered in a blanket and she was tucked in her favorite pajamas (indicating personal connection to the victim and feeling of remorse). She wasn't killed until an hour after the blow and the examiners said the force was so hard and painful that she would have screamed. Neighbors said they saw a light on in the butlers pantry which was strange but they were up around the time of the murder and never saw anyone come or go. The killer would have had to walk past Burke and the parents room to kidnap Benet (how would he have known which exact room was hers) there's so much that doesn't add up. And unfortunately we will never know. Just food for thought though.

Not poke her..& that pineapple!!!!! Don't get me started..he was up eating it with her! Stop being ignorant..he did it!! Lock that monster up please

[@evand.455]

The part where the interviewer shows him the picture of the bowl of pineapple is what convinced me. He certainly had an attitude during both interviews ... "I'm above this" ... "this is a waste of time" ... "I'm smarter than you." The only time he actually looks concerned after a question is when the interviewer shows him the picture of the bowl and asks him what's in it. Suddenly he's not such a smart-alack. He takes his time answering the question and even suggests that maybe it's cereal. For the first time, he realized that these investigators had figured out a part of the story that was actually true. If it really was just a regular bowl of food that had no significance his smart-alack attitude would of continued through the question. Also the whole "poop smearing" thing is disturbing. Would of been hilarious to watch Dr. Phil grill him on that.

if they were interviewd together then it would be even more obvious that they had cooked up a common story together

My grandmother passed away 8 years ago and I still wouldn't smile about her death now. This is a little girl's death, it's weird how he's smiling

[@daehwankim4663]

Notice how he keeps forcing this eerie grin and keeps fidgeting with his fingers. He’s clearly nervous

[@sharifa6020]

i would be nervous too. he looks very uncomfortable too

[@thehapagirl92]

I don't think the smiling means he's guilty. I think he's nervous.

[@thehapagirl92]

+Diane Smith Yeah exactly. I think it makes him nervous. In my opinion I think he's cute.

[@jaimhaas5170]

oh geez you are one of those types---find a normal guy to blather about.....

[@thehapagirl92]

Ross Gerabaldi Watch Investigation Discovery's documentary. Also if he's guilty then why was the family cleared of the crime by DNA in 2008? His DNA nor his parents were ever found on her body. There was her blood in her underwear and still-unknown DNA in her underwear found during her autopsy. The person who killed her is the same one whose DNA is in her underwear. It's not likely a random person put the DNA in her underwear and then had Burke kill her.

[@turtleguy5758]

Simonne Might I remind you OJ was also "cleared" of a crime but he still did it.

[@nicolemarie6653]

lmao

[@depressedgirl7462]

Honestly they both do lol

[@jessecuster5877]

I think 🤔 it's more of an “I gotta 😉 secret" type of smile.

[@tammyserpas4601]

I feel really sorry for him. He is smirking because he is nervous and SCARED. And he is socially awkward because I bet once his sister was born he no longer existed in his family or anywhere he went with family because his sister was the center of the world for parents which made that the same for family friends. It is really sad.

[@vcommandarv5916]

Yes but he deserves no sympathy

[@r.m.90]

Aww bless your heart but that's not true.

[@Cashstuffwithsteph]

I don't think he did it, he's just nervous. I have social anxiety, and i smile a lot when I talk about things that make me very uncomfortable.

[@charlottesometimes07]

Thank you. I also have social anxiety and I do the same. Nothing wrong with that

[@HassanLee08]

dad did it

[@anthonygavshon9631]

So you would be smiling if you were talking about your sibling's death?

[@Cashstuffwithsteph]

My sibling died a few years ago and my family was targeted by media. Beforehand I had severe social anxiety, and panic attacks when I would go out in public. Now imagine having cameras in your face asking a you1000 questions. I didn't have time to grieve because I was bombarded by media. As to why my parents didn't do the interviews? They were too heart broken and asked me to handle it. Because of reliving every detail I suffer from PTSD, and depression along with everything else.

[@charlottesometimes07]

I'm sorry to hear about that Flipn' Poetzl. I too lost a brother 4 years ago. I developed anxiety because of it. You never get over it, you just learn to get by. Just know that it will get better. i pray to God everyday , it's he who gives me strengh and joy

[@Cashstuffwithsteph]

I have social anxiety, I'm not comfortable being around people, but when my sister was killed I had the same expressions as Burke did when people would ask how she passed away. My therapist said it was my anxiety, along with a bunch of other things. It's doesn't mean he's crazy.

[@khm2128]

That makes sense. I had a feeling he was grimacing. I'm so sorry you had to experience your sister passing.

[@carrow1057]

Ah, his condition may or may not have anything to do with JB's murder, however, nothing will excuse Dr Phil's method of interviewing. Even a lie detector test at a minimum. Seriously.

[@chynnhowe]

I just can’t understand that. That’s got to make people so uncomfortable. Hopefully you’ve improved that. That just seems so odd.

[@eliza1826]

Yeah hunny I have social anxiety, it's 2018 I think everyone has social anxiety and I could tell he was nervous but also could mean he was nervous because he didn't want to say anything that would reveal the truth. Have you notice you are more nervous than the usual when you lie to someone ? Anyhow a lot of investigator theories say it was Burke who murdered jonbenet by accident. The theory really adds up and makes sense when you read about the facts that points to Burke.

[@camigutierrez7452]

it's suspicious that after 20 years he "wanted to control the narrative" and tell his side of the story... a lot of serial killers like the attention that comes with killing, they will willingly insert themselves in the investigations and try to be the focus of the attention (without being too obvious that they killed someone). I believe Burke is doing that: he KNOWS it is the 20th anniversary, he wants to bring all that attention back to him, and this special date allows him to do that even more. But I think he miscalculated people's reactions, as he probably thought everybody would take pity on him after this interview and view him as a victim (always his goal, as he was mad about all the attention JonBenet received), but his bizarre behaviour plays against him. I believe he killed her...

[@michaelkennedy5126]

He is glowing with deceiver's glee

[@claudiacooper1934]

I believe his strange behavior is due to abuse he suffered as a child alike his sister.
