The JonBenet Chronicles: Chapter Two: John Ramsey And The MindHunter Connection.

He was born on December 7th, 1943 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Mary Jane Bennett and a decorated WW2 pilot, James Dudley "Jay" Ramsey. He is the elder of two sons. He has been described as extremely quiet, reserved and very cold with everybody, just like his father. It is said that John has his father's passion for order, method and discipline.

John's father, Jay, was director of the Nebraska Aeronautics Commission until they moved to Michigan after John finished 6th grade. Once in Michigan Jay became the director of the Michigan Aeronautics Commission. At the end of his tenure at the MAC, a group of wealthy Michigan pedophiles led by philanthropist Francis Shelden constructed an airstrip on North Fox Island to enable them to fly impoverish children to the island and use them as sex slaves.

The commission that Jay worked for oversaw the building of the airstrip, but it is unknown that Jay or the commission had any knowledge that it was being used for nefarious reasons. However, with how fiercely he did his job, one would think that Jay had at least a inkling of what was going on.

The North Fox Island pedophile ring was linked to the 1976-77 Oakland County Child Killer (OCCK) murders.

John attended Okemos High school in Michigan. He played in the school band, ran cross country and was the chairman of the school's Christmas dance his senior year. 

John entered Randolph Elementary School the year his brother, Jeff, was born.

After he graduated high school, John enrolled at Michigan State University in Lansing. There he became president of the Theta Chi chapter. He held summer jobs with an engineering company, the state highway department and and also worked for his father at the aeronautics commission. John also joined the Reserved Officer's Training Corpse. 

While at MSU John met Lucinda Pasch. Pasch was an elementary education major. She was a short, pretty brunette who was quiet. They got married on a Saturday in 1966 in the First Presbyterian Church of Kalamazoo. They held their honeymoon at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. The Island is a political retreat housing the Michigan governor's summer home where Cathy O'Brien  claimed to have been taken by Gerald Ford for abuse.

Cathy attended MSU around the same time as John Ramsey. She claimed her Michigan father sold her into a child sex ring. She also said that her father and John Ramsey were documented as being together on the same ferry between Traverse City, Michigan and Beaver Island. Which was not far from Charlevoix MI and North Fox Island. Cathy said that Beaver Island was home to a mind control project that was part of the CIA's Project MKUltra  called Project Monarch, and that her brother was nicknamed Beaver after the island. She claimed that she was mind controlled into being a sex slave and that she suffers from multiple personality disorder as a result.

In the index of the book called "Death of Innocence" by John Ramsey and Patsy Ramsey (2001), there are mentions of Beaver Island and the Beaver Island Ferry.

FBI agent Robert Ressler attended Michigan State University around the same time as John as well as the ROTC. Ressler coined the term "serial killer."  He developed psychological profiling at the FBI Behavioural Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia. Along with his colleague John Douglas, he was involved in some of the highest profile serial killer cases in American history, including John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. 

A screenplay adapted from his colleague's John E. Douglas book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit was picked up by Netflix. Mindhunter stars Holt McCallany, who plays the character Special Agent Bill Tench, a lead character based on Ressler.

Allegedly, Douglas' MindHunter book was found in John and Patsy's bedroom after JonBenet was murdered. 

MindHunter synopsis:

"During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life. As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves. Now, in chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases -- and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares."

It reads in part like the JonBenet case in the use of duct tape, ligatures and similar phrases in the ransom note. For someone planning a murder or staging its aftermath, it could amount to a how-to manual.

In chapter 7, The Heart of Darkness, Douglas discusses four serial killers in the following order:
Son of Sam
BTK
Trailside Killer
Carmine Calabro

The ransom note left at the Ramsey house was signed,  "Victory! S.B.T.C."

Later in the book, Douglas talked about double murderer, Larry Gene Bell. 

Larry was convicted and sentenced to death for kidnapping and killing Sharon Faye "Shari" Smith and Debra May Helmick in South Carolina in 1985. Bell forced Smith to write a "Last Will and Testament" before he murdered her and taunted her family by telephone.

Experts say there are several similarities between the case described in that chapter and the Ramsey case.

After snatching Shari, the killer called her mother. His first words to her were, "Listen carefully." In the JonBenet case, the ransom note starts with the words, "Listen carefully!"

Shari was suffocated with duct tape, which was later pulled from her mouth and nose. When John Ramsey found his daughter's body he ripped duct tape from her mouth.

Before she was killed Shari wrote a "last will and testament" to her family on a legal pad. The ransom note was written on a legal pad.

Shari's killer collected pornography featuring bondage. JonBenet's hands had been bound with cord before she was murdered.

Shari's sister Dawn later won the Miss South Carolina beauty title and went on to finish as a runner-up in the Miss America pageant. Patsy Ramsey is a former Miss West Virginia and she also competed for the Miss America title.

On page 350, Douglas tells how perverts are sometimes first turned on by Barbie Dolls. A pink Barbie nightdress was placed close to JonBenet's body. Detectives believe that it was planted there to reinforce the idea she was the victim of a perverted intruder.

Douglas was one of the first experts hired by JonBenet's father John after he and wife Patsy set up their own investigation team.

John Edward Douglas is a retired special agent and unit chief in the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. Some people call him the "Serial Killer Whisperer." He was one of the first criminal profilers and has written books on criminal psychology.

John and Patsy dismissed the similarities between the book and JonBenet's murder as sheer coincidence. 

"The longer you are in my business, the less you believe in coincidences," said FBI profiler and colleague of Douglas, Gregg McCrary, who was also approached to work for the Ramsey family and turned them down. McCrary is also an expert witness and consultant, an author and an adjunct forensic psychology professor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, and at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. McCrary was a contributing author to the 1992 Crime Classification Manual.

McCrary also said that he believes that the crime scene was staged. "I believe the JonBenet crime scene was staged. Many times when people stage a crime scene it's based on their perception of what a real criminal would do  and they get that information from books or movies."

Back to John Douglas and Michigan State University. 

Microbiologist, entrepreneur and investigator in Washington D.C. As Deputy Director of the R&D think tank Mankind Research Unlimited (MRU), Charles W. Stone, accused Douglas of an FBI cover-up in 1986 connected to biowarfare research involving Michigan universities such as MSU. He claimed that Douglas helped to frame an investigative writer for murder. He said both the Justice Dept. and FBI went to great lengths to carry out the cover-up and that it was also linked to corruption at the University of Michigan Medical School, the largest Federal case in Michigan history. 

Stone explained that only a few years after the 1949 bombing of Hiroshima, the US government began a series of atomic tests involving real military personnel and real or simulated/civilian situations, which produced large amounts of radioactivity and significant exposures for humans.

Several Pacific Atolls were made uninhabitable for many years. By 1950 a series of ground tests started at the Desert Test Site near Las Vegas, Nevada. This became the first high tech facility known to be located in Southern Nevada.

 A conservative estimate of 250,000 military personnel were exposed. Untold numbers of civilians and Downwinders also received significant fallout. Is estimated the total fallout from the Las Vegas tests to be at least 200 times Chernobyl. 

Actor John Wayne and actress Susan Hayward died from cancers due to exposure incurred during filming of the 1956 movie, "The Conqueror," in the Nevada Dessert, when horses stirred up the contaminated soil, and they inhaled toxic amounts of radioactive dust.

The above ground tests lasted until the early 1960’s. 

Stone alleged that the original US Government cover-up was carried out by the then Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Warren Burger. Burger was later was appointed the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. 

He says that there is substantial evidence of “cooking the books” and that we will never know how many thyroid and other cancer were caused by airborne fallout. 

Stone claimed that atomic activists or journalists who have spoken out were threatened or even murdered including Karen Silkwood.  Karen was an American chemical technician and labor union activist known for raising concerns about corporate practices related to health and safety in the Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site in Crescent, Oklahoma. The site was owned by the Kerr-McGee company and one of its founders, Robert Kerr, had been a powerful U.S. senator from 1949 to 1963.

Karen testified before the Atomic Energy Commission in Washington, D.C., about the plant. She was deemed a troublemaker and was subject to ongoing harassment.

On November 13th, 1972, Karen was scheduled to meet with a federal union official and a newspaper reporter to provide them with evidence of negligence at the plant. She carried a manila envelope that contained her documentation. On her way to the meeting in Oklahoma City, Karen crashed her car on a concrete part of a bridge and sustained fatal injuries. State troopers said that she had fallen asleep at the wheel, even though marks on her bumper seemed to indicate that she had been forced off the road. Her autopsy revealed that she had been exposed to dangerously high levels of radiation. The manila envelope was never found.

After her death Karen was discredited by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the AEC, and Kerr-McGee. In an out-of-court settlement in 1986, her estate was awarded $1.38 million. 

In 1988, the president and creator of National Association of Radiation Survivors, Dorothy Legretta died in a similar accident also on the way to meet a New York Times reporter. Eventually many of the documents also disappeared.

Dorothy was an employee of the Manhattan Engineering District back in the 1940's.  In California. In 1982, while examining the papers of Joseph Hamilton, the scientist in charge of radiation experiments at the University of California, at the library of the University of California at Berkeley, she came across a 1950 memo written to Shields Warren, then director of the Atomic Energy Commission's Division of biology and medicine. The memo advised that large primates be substituted for humans in the planned studies on radiation's cognitive effects.

After Legarreta found the memo, Hamilton's papers were removed from public access by University of California administrators. Soon after this, Legarreta filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Energy, asking for all documents concerning experiments in which humans were intentionally exposed to radioactive materials through injection or ingestion. Later that year, NARS receives a two-foot-high carton of documents in response.

Stone worked with the Federal Government to apply innovative approaches to national problems including AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse, cancer and more. From the early ‘70s, MRU pioneered psychotronics, biocybernetics, biophysics, psycho-physiology, accelerated learning, psi and mind-body research.

That is not the only controversy regarding Michigan State University. Some have accused the school of launching a CIA front operation during the Vietnam War.

In 1955, an agreement was reached between Michigan State University and Ngo Dinh Diem, then the president of South Vietnam. Through a grant from USAID, the MSU Advisory Group in Vietnam was formed. Over the next seven years, MSU faculty members provided Diem’s new South Vietnamese government with resources in civics, agriculture, policing and much more.

Jeremy Kuzmarov, a professor of history that wrote about the advisory group, said that some MSU advisers worked closely with the CIA to promote western political interests. And lists were developed of subversives, to catalog them, and many were rounded up and they were often tortured.

In a 1965 article in Ramparts magazine, Vietnam project supervisor Stanley Sheinbaum acknowledged that several MSU advisers had CIA ties.
