Investigators may have new leads in decades-long mystery of JonBenét Ramsey

A new report claims DNA testing could be the source of these new people of interest in the case. NBC News has not independently verified the reports but a statement received from JonBenét's father said there is new leadership at the Boulder Police Department and he is impressed with their commitment to finding his daughter's murderer.

[@zendesal4283]

Some things that always perplexed me about this case. 1. Why was a ransom note written for a child that hadn't been kidnapped?, She never left the home! 2. If there was no kidnapping why write a ransom note? 3. If it was a stranger who did this, how come they felt comfortable enough to walk around the house while people are sleeping, find a notebook on a desk and take the time to write a lengthy ransom note when someone could have woken up and found them? 4. Most people don't go around telling strangers how much money they received from a Christmas bonus. Why was such a personal detail included in the "ransom note". The note also revealed a personal detail about John Ramsay's personality saying "use that Southern good sense of yours". A complete stranger would never write that! 5. The so called ransom note asking for $118,000 to get a wealthy man's 6 year old daughter back alive? Why not 1 million or more? Instead the writer asked for the exact amount of John Ramsay's Christmas bonus. I really pray this case is solved someday soon!

[@carole12498]

Excellent points!

[@lorir5728]

Some of those points can be explained but the Xmas bonus always bothered me. There are only so many people who would have that information. What also bothered me was that there was only ONE cop in the home. I couldn't believe they didn't secure the house for any evidence that an intruder would leave. Instead they had all their friends and family come over to hang out. Unreal. They were waiting for the kidnapper to call at the specified time in the letter and police did not even acknowledge when the time came and went. You would think they would have hooked up a recorder device or had a hostage negotiator. This was all before john found Jon benet.

what I have never understood is that the "note" was found on the stairs?? Who would leave a ransom note on the stairs? Also, as has previously been brought up, why was $118,000 asked for? That was the exact amount of JonBenet's Father's bonus. Why not a million or more. Why that amount? Also, the Colorado police really blew this case. They let JonBenet's Father into the house when the house should have been off limits to everyone, hence all the finger prints everywhere. What a mess!

[@mattw7780]

The 118,000 was an amount someone thought the Ramsey could pay. Someone new his bonus maybe found a bank statement in the house.

[@raphaellavictoria01]

that amount could be gotten VERY quickly, within minutes, certainly within the hour. The killer knew she was dead. He could have hoped to have the amount wired to him before her body was discovered. Even for a millionaire, getting millions of money in cash can take time.

[@butmunchass]

Are you sure the killer knew she was dead. Yeah, probably but he could have kidnapped her and both of them in the house in the basement. Then when the parents called the police which is not what he said for them to do he might have gotten mad and killed the child as he had threatened to do if they had called police.@@raphaellavictoria01

[@apriltorres3684]

I have always believed that the father or brother killed Jon Bennett Ramsey. The mother may or may not have been involved with writing the ransom letter. The police allowed the crime scene to be compromised by the father and evidence wasn't properly collected. The chances of the ransom note being written by an outsider is highly unlikely because how would they know to put the amount at $ 118,000 instead of say $ 150,000 ?? How many kidnapers write a ransom note at the victim's house and then instead of kidnapping the child decides to murder them on the property ? How did the father know to go down in the basement ahead of the police ? What about a psychological test on the father, brother, and mother ? Did any of the beauty pageants parents know Jon- Bennett and would they know where she lived ? The beauty pageants can be highly stressful and perhaps a jealous parent didn't like the Ramsey's family ? What about the possibility of a suspicious male walking around the pageants unescorted and checking out the young girls ? Have any of the other girls said anything about maybe receiving threats or unwarranted looks by unknown male's ? What is the truth about Jon Bennett and her autopsy report ? Was there any evidence of long term abuse in the physical sense or in the other way ?

[@freddie3206]

@SYLVIACARLSON3561, I AGREE. WHO IS GOING TO ASK FOR $118,000 FROM A MAN WORTH MILLIONS. THE RAMSEYS WANTED PEOPLE TO THINK IT WAS SOMEONE WHO WORKED FOR JOHN AND KNEW ABOUT HIS BONUS.

And the crime scene itself was just so sketch.

Well: usually if there is a DNA test of family members, even if the brother's DNA wasn't sampled (and why shouldn't it have been?) THEN they will be able to see if there is some kind of family resemblance, between the DNA found and the DNA sampled. (There always is enough of a resemblance for them to tell if it is someone related, unless the brother was adopted?)

Was there an investigation into how Patsy or John handled their finances? So, no bonus money and it's Christmas, and Patsy needs to socialize but can't bring her kids, her family with her? So, she arranged her daughter to be sold by someone she knew and hiding in the house, or house key. And how much did Patsy make off a probably insurance money claim? Did anyone track of an insurance policy money was released and how it was spent?

Here are some reasons that the Ransom Note was not written by any of the Ramsey's. prosecutorspodcast.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/ramsey-v.-cbs-complaint-with-exhibits-reduced-size.pdf Q: IF THE RAMSEY'S WERE WORKING QUICKLY TO CREATE A STAGED CRIME SCENE WOULD THEY HAVE WISHED TO WRITE A SHORT NOTE WITH AS LITTLE HANDWRITING AS POSSIBLE LEFT FOR FUTURE ANALYSIS? A: Yes. They were not stupid. "They arguably would not have written such a long note.” Wolf v Ramsey Decision at 1361. Q: DID PATSY KNOW THE SIMILAR QUOTES AND REFERENCES TO DIALOGUE FROM HOLLYWOOD MOVIES AS THOSE USED IN THE RANSOM NOTE? A: No. Patsy did not like or watch that genre of film such as from the Movies: "Ransom" and "Dirty Harry." prosecutorspodcast.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/ramsey-v.-cbs-complaint-with-exhibits-reduced-size.pdf Q: WOULD JOHN/PATSY HAVE BEEN AWARE THAT USING HER OWN NOTEPAD AND THE AMOUNT OF JOHN'S '95 CHRISTMAS BONUS TEND TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY WROTE IT? a: Yes. They were not stupid. Q: WOULD JOHN/PATSY HAVE USED A LARGER RANSOM DEMAND AMOUNT? A: Yes. The $118 K was a ridiculously small amount and she or John would have risked nothing to make it much more if they wrote it themselves. They would have known they did not have to pay one red cent if there were no real kidnappers. Q: DO EXPERTS IN HANDWRITING THINK THE NOTE'S WRITING MATCHED JOHN'S OR PATSY'S? kgov.com/jonbenet-ramsey-murder-clue-that-breaks... A: No. Of the six experts the authorities hired who were cited at the Wolf v Ramsey Trial John was excluded and Patsy had a "VERY LOW'' PROBABILITY. "The Ransom Note, according to six experts hired by the BPD, they placed Mrs. Ramsey at a 4.5 or a 4.0. (SMF ¶ 203; PSMF ¶ 203.) The experts *1335 described the chance of Mrs. Ramsey being the author of the Ransom Note as "very low." (SMF ¶ 204; PSMF ¶ 204.) law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/253/1323/2567726/ Q. WHO HAD HANDWRITING MORE LIKE THE RANSOM NOTE'S THAN PATSY DID? A: Chris Wolf. See for yourself: imgur.com/r/JonBenet/8Ha6H4C "Forensic document examiner Lloyd Cunningham cannot eliminate plaintiff(Wolf) as the author of the Ransom Note. (SMF ¶ 279; PSMF ¶ 279.) Plaintiff's ex-girlfriend has also testified she believes that he is the note's author. (J. Brungardt Aff. ¶ 43.) Carnes Report Q: HOW COULD THE RANSOM NOTE LOOK SO MUCH LIKE PATSY'S HANDWRITING AND EXPRESSIONS IF IT WAS NOT WRITTEN BY PATSY? A: THE POLICE FOUND IDENTICAL NOTEPADS AND PENS AT PUGH'S WHICH WERE TAKEN FROM PATSY'S HOUSE. The BPD went to Linda Pugh's the same day they'd found the lifeless body of poor JonBenet. At the Pugh's they found identical pads and pens as Patsy's. Turns out Pugh had "borrowed them." Q: WHO HAD SAMPLES OF PATSY'S HANDWRITING WOLF COULD HAVE USED TO PRACTICE HER STYLE? A: Linda Pugh did. "The Death of an Innocent." by Linda Pugh: "One of the ways in which Patsy Ramsey would communicate with me was through handwritten notes, which she would leave for me with instructions for various duties around the house that needed my attention. In the fourteen month period that I worked for the Ramseys, I was left several dozen handwritten notes by Patsy Ramsey. I am quite familiar with her handwriting, and I believe I can recognize it with very little difficulty. By way of example, Patsy made her letter "a"s very distinctively, and she would use accents over words like JonBenet and attaché, and often used initialing of words in combination, to name just a few of her many unique handwriting characteristics. Because I once felt very close to Patsy Ramsey, and regarded her with almost as much affection as a member of my immediate family, it has been hard for me to admit that I am now certain that the handwriting in the ransom note looks to me as if it was made by one and the same person. The handwriting and language of the note were all yours. I can hear your "voice" in the note. The word "hence," for example, was in your Christmas cards and letters and a word you liked to use in conversation. The phrase "use that good Southern common sense" is what you kidded John about, since he was anything but Southern, having been born and raised in Michigan; the phrase "fat cat" is what your mother, Nedra, used to call you after you and John became rich. The ransom demand asked that the money be put in an attaché, with a proper accent mark over the last e in attaché. I remember how careful you always were to put the proper accent mark over the e in the second syllable of JonBenet's name. The ransom note even ended with the initials SBTC." www.reddit.com/.../linda_hoffmanpugh_started_to.../ Q: WHO HAD ARTICLES OF CLOTHING WITH SBTC ON THEM? A: Chris Wolf (sweatshirt from Santa Barbara Tennis Club) and Michael Helgoth. (hat found near his dead body, source unknown.) Q:WHO KNEW WHERE PATSY KEPT HER NOTEPAD AND PEN? A: Linda Pugh. She had complete run of the house while the Ramsey's were in NYC over Thanksgiving vacation. Q: WHO KNEW WHAT PATSY DID SOON AFTER GETTING UP? A: Linda Pugh knew Patsy used the back spiral stairs to go down and make coffee and that is why the ransom note was left there. Q: HOW COULD PUGH AND WOLF HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER? A: Both knew Santa Bill. Pugh and her daughter Ariana attended every party when Santa Bill came. Wolf first denied under oath at his deposition for the Wolf v Ramsey Trial that he knew Professor William McGovern AKA Santa Bill. However he had to retract that when he was shown the copy of a letter from the Colorado U. Journalism Dept. assigning him to McGovern.

Guilt or no guilt using someone's tv or public apperance as evidence of guilt is beyond flimsy. We aren't even considering not everyone uses crying as a grief mechanism. If you truely take intrest in psychology then do proper research before using body language and social cues as admissions of guilt.

But if you use either point you mentioned it's all heresay and nothing but speculative. What credit does this neighbor have? How well did they actually know them? We also must consider how much the media has influenced people's opinion on this case with the many false reports and misleading articles. Your theory is just a theory and I hope you do some research and realize not crying means nothing. Them not crying in public, on camera, or even at all is no indication of guilt.

​@@zannebrazeauSome people will never believe they had nothing to do with it. Tried and convicted, in the court of public opinion!

[@rensinclair4218]

​@@Poppyseed0990Dr. Phil? I knew you weren't a serious person

[@melissapekarek3283]

I'd like to believe at some point this will be solved, but I can also see it becoming to my future grandchildren like the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping was to us GenXers.

[@CleanMusicLover229]

Any update on Jaclyn Dowaliby's case?

[@zombiebbq14]

parents guilty by being involved somehow. Ransom note was overwhelmingly determined to be written by Patsy

[@travonjones]

This case will never be solved snd i believe the parents had something to do with it!

[@dceplay]

Or her brother....

[@49lucky]

Yes I always thought the brother

[@white_genocide2050]

Unknow DNA under her fingernails says utherwise

[@deeprose4]

In other words, we don’t really have anything new to report, but we will put out some headlines to make you think we are still trying to solve it

[@nicholasfair6882]

exactly.

[@rebeccao8895]

Maybe something magical will happen but I don’t expect this case to be solved in my lifetime. I’m 50.

[@Smiley-fv8zi]

Why didnt the police believe the convict that has been confessing to have killed her?

[@bookbag6432]

Not enough evidence. People lie all the time for attention.

[@justsamantha1833]

His DNA wasn't a match

[@skr8674]

The brother accidentally killed his sister and the parents wanted to cover it up and protect him. End of story.

[@donnypuleo8167]

Absolutely

[@Richard-wp6ep]

DNA found on her didn't match the brother

[@summersys]

They always say this and it never goes anywhere.

[@beautifullyflawed86]

I think they knew what happened because a bunch of things just didn't make sense
