Who Murdered the Washington Intern? The Senator or the Stalker?

Chandra Ann Levy

She was born April 14, 1977 in Cleveland, Ohio to Robert and Susan Levy.

As a child, she had a bold personality.

Later the family moved to Modesto, California, where Chandra attended Grace M. Davis High School.
She then attended San Francisco State University, where she earned a degree in journalism. 
She interned for the California Bureau of Secondary Education and worked in the office of Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan.
After that, she began attending the University of Southern California to earn a master's degree in public administration.
She was interested in pursuing a law degree and had submitted her application for employment with the FBI.

Friday, September 14th, as part of her final semester of study she moved to Washington, D.C. and became an intern at the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

In October, 2000 she was assigned to the public affairs division at the bureau's headquarters.

Her supervisor, Dan Dunne, was impressed with her work, especially her handling of media inquiries regarding the upcoming execution of Timothy McVeigh.

She spent Thanksgiving weekend with her aunt, on the eastern shore of Maryland.

Chandra reveals that she has an older boyfriend that is a congressman.

Saturday, December 23, she sends an email to a friend saying, 

"Everything in D.C. else in D.C. is going good, my man will be coming back here when congress starts up again."

Chandra calls the landlord around mid- January 2001.
She talks about the possibility of breaking lease to move in with an unidentified boyfriend.
Weeks later she tells the landlord it didn't work out.
Chandra's family comes to visit her on Friday, April 6th.

They join up at Chandra's aunts house for Passover weekend in Chesapeake.

She tells her aunt that her boyfriend gave her a bracelet and he is Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif.

Her internship was terminated in April 2001 because her academic eligibility was found to have expired in December 2000. 

Monday, April 27th, was her last day of interning.

She had already completed her master's degree requirements and was scheduled to return to California in May 2001 for graduation.

Condit says that on Friday, April 27th was the last day he spoke to Chandra.

He told police that he last spoke to Chandra on April 29th.

Saturday, April 28th, Chandra left two messages on the landlord's machine saying that her job had ended,

She also e-mails that she would like to move out by May 5th or 6th.

She said that 

"I have no real reason to stay around here."

Apparently Condit's wife arrived in Washington.

Sunday, April 29th, Chandra's aunt received a phone message from her.

She said in her message she needed to talk to her about something important.

The aunt doesn't return the phone call.

Monday, April 30th, Chandra cancels her membership to the Washington Sports club and leaves the gym sometime after 7 p.m.

Tuesday, May 1st, Chandra sends her last email to her parents.

She surfs the internet until 1 p.m.

No one  hears from Chandra ever again.
After not hearing from their daughter for five days, Chandra's parents call the police.

Police search Chandra's apartment and it appears that she was packed up and ready to leave.
Her driver's license, credit cards and cell phone were still in the apartment.
Her keys were missing and her gold ring.

Friday, May 11th, Chandra misses her graduation ceremony.

Wednesday, May 16th, police say cadaver dogs have found nothing in parks or along the Potomac and Anacostia rivers.
Friday, May 18, 2001, the Washington Post quotes a deputy police chief saying Chandra had visited Condit's apartment several times and then later denies the statement. 

Chandra's friends, family and supporters hold a vigil in Sacramento, Calif.

Friday, July 6, 2001 Condit finally admitted to police that he had a sexual relationship with Chandra.

Tuesday, July 10, 2001 Police and FBI forensics investigators enter and search Condit's apartment just before 11 p.m. 

Washington as investigators consider whether the congressman may have tried to obstruct justice in the search for Chandra.

Wednesday, July 11, 2001, forensic investigators wrap up a three-hour search of Condit's apartment.

Thursday, July 12, 2001, Condit turns over a DNA sample to police. 

Investigators search abandoned apartment buildings for signs of Chandra.

Monday, July 16, 2001, U.S. Park Police on horseback join police academy cadets in combing through the woods of Rock Creek Park in Northwest Washington, because they Chandra surfed an Internet site for directions to a historic mansion in the park on the day she vanished.

They believe she might have met someone there.

They found nothing.

On May 22, 2002, around 9:30 a.m., a man on a morning outing  with his dog in Rock Creek Park, near Broad Branch Creek, swept away loose debris and uncovered skeletal remains that later matched Chandra's dental records.

Detectives found bones and personal items scattered, but not buried, in a forested area along a steep incline where they had not previously searched.

A sports bra, sweat shirt, leggings and tennis shoes were among the evidence that was recovered. 

The remains were found about four miles from Chandra's apartment.

On May 28, D.C. medical examiner Jonathan L. Arden officially declared Levy's death a homicide.

Arden found damage to her hyoid bone.

On June 6, Private investigators hired by the Levys found her shin bone with some twisted wire about 25 yards from the other remains. 

The Autopsy couldn't confirm she was pregnant, but before her death Chandra told at least one friend that she was and that it was the senator's baby.
In September 2001, an informant held in a D.C. jail, claimed to have knowledge of Chandra's killer. 

The informant said that Ingmar Guandique, a 20-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador also being held in the jail, told him that Condit paid him $25,000 to kill Chandra. 

Guandique had already admitted to assaulting two other women in the same park where Chandra's remains were found.

He failed to show up for work on the day of Chandra's disappearance.

His face appeared scratched and bruised at around that time.

The investigators on the Chandra's case did not interview the other Rock Creek Park victims.

Guandique denied attacking Chandra.

In 2006,  Cathy L. Lanier replaced the lead detective on the case with three veteran investigators who had more homicide experience.

In September 2008, investigators searched Guandique's federal prison cell in California and found a photo of Chandra that he had saved from a magazine. 

Police interviewed acquaintances of Guandique and witnesses of the other Rock Creek Park incidents.

On March 3, 2009, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia issued an arrest warrant for Guandique.

April 22, Guandique was charged in D.C. with Chandra's murder.

He was indicted by a grand jury on six counts

Guandique pleaded not guilty.

Prosecution witness Armando Morales, who shared a cell with Guandique at the U.S. Penitentiary in Kentucky, stated that Guandique, a fellow member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, confided to him that he had killed Chandra while trying to rob her, but said that he did not rape her.

During closing arguments prosecutor Amanda Haines contended that Guandique bound and gagged Chandra after attacking her, leaving her to die of dehydration or exposure in the park. 

On November 22, 2010, the jury found Guandique guilty of both remaining counts of first-degree murder.

On June 3, 2015, the defense said a new witness, a neighbor of Chandra's, called 911 at 4:37 a.m. on the last day Chandra's was alive to report hearing a 'blood-curdling scream'.

On June 4, 2015, Judge Gerald Fisher granted a motion for the new trial.

On July 28, 2016, prosecutors announced that they would not proceed with the case against Guandique and would, instead, seek to have him deported.

Natalie Wood's body is set to be exhumed before the end of this year.

Investigators are looking for evidence Natalie’s death was a homicide rather than an accidental drowning.
Her case was reopened in 2011 and Natalie’s cause of death was officially changed from “accidental drowning” to “drowning and other undetermined factors”.
Key evidence of Natalie having been brutally beaten was left off the original autopsy report, conducted by L.A coroner Thomas Noguchi, who now admits were wrong and “based on theory” not facts.
Supposedly Natalie's brain and skull were never examined in the original autopsy.
Allegedly there are photographs before and during the inquest show that Natalie Wood was beaten and her skull bashed in.
L.A County Sheriff's Department detective Ralph Hernandez revealed, 

“We have a lot of evidence that tends to point to a very suspicious death and would certainly indicate the possibility of foul play”.

Natalie’s sister, Lana Wood, claims key evidence such as fingernail clippings that may have carried the DNA of her killer was “deliberately removed” from police archives. 
Lana Wood thinks the police won’t arrest Wagner until they have an air-tight case.

Was American Journalist Dorothy Kilgallen's death related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy?

Dorothy Mae Kilgallen

"I don't need a psychiatrist, i'm Catholic."

She was was a  no-nonsense, tough, uncompromising, aggressive and fearless,  American journalist and television game show panelist.
She  was a true representative of the people, and felt the public had a right to know the truth, wherever it may lead. 
Ernest Hemingway called her 

”the greatest woman writer in the world”.

Dorothy was born July 3, 1913 in Chicago, Illinois to newspaper reporter James Lawrence Kilgallen and his wife, Mae Ahern.
She started her career shortly when she was 17 as a reporter for the Hearst Corporation's New York Evening Journal.
In 1936, at 23 years old, Dorothy competed in a race around the world using only transportation available to the general public. 
She was the only woman to compete in the contest and she came in second. 
She wrote a book about the experience, Girl Around The World.
In 1938, she began her newspaper column "The Voice of Broadway," which was syndicated to more than 140 papers with 30 million readers.
She also covered high-profile murder trials.
In the case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who denied killing his pregnant wife, and inspiration for the television series The Fugitive (1963-67), Dorothy single-handedly led Sheppard’s murder conviction to be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
She told defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey that when the trial started, Judge Edward Blythin called her into his chambers to get her autograph and commented that,

 ”It’s an open-and-shut case. 

He’s guilty as hell”.

She was one of the first reporters to imply that the CIA was involved in working with the mob to try to assassinate Fidel Castro.
In 1950, she became a regular panelist on the television game show What's My Line?
She was on the show for 15 years, until her death.
Most of her articles dealt with show business news and gossip.
She did venture in more serious topics, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
She scored the only interview with Jack Ruby, the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused killer of President John Kennedy.
She scored a world exclusive when she obtained an advance copy of the Warren Commission's controversial report.
This infuriated President Lyndon Johnson, who had not yet even seen it. 
She was publicly skeptical of the conclusions of the Warren Commission's report into the assassination of President Kennedy.
She wrote several newspaper articles on the subject and  obtained a copy of Jack Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission, which she included.
She wrote the first article on the FBI’s intimidation of witnesses.
She interviewed  a witness to the shooting of Officer J. D. Tippit, Acquilla Clemons, whom the Warren Commission never questioned.
Clemons claimed to have two men at the scene of the murder, none matching Lee Harvey Oswald‘s description.
Dorothy also launched a private inquiry which took her to New Orleans.
This  resulted in her drawing the scrutiny and scorn  of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and LBJ. FBI agents were  dispatched to her private residence in New York to interrogate her.
She said she’d rather die than reveal her sources. 
She turned down a an opportunity for a private interview with Adolph Hitler.
On August 3, 1962, Less than 48 hours after Dorothy wrote a piece about Marilyn Monroe‘s affair with President John K. Kennedy, Monroe was found dead. 
Dorothy began writing of her suspicions that Monroe’s cause of death was an overdose of pills and challenged the police and medical evidence.
When LIFE Magazine came out, with a controversial photo of Oswald, Dorothy publicly challenged its authenticity.
Agencies of the federal government like the CIA and FBI followed Dorothy and her friends for many years.
Her phones were tapped and she had to arrange secret meetings with sources.
Near the end of her life, she very much felt she was in danger .
Before her death, she bought a gun for protection.
She told her coworkers on What's My Line? that she had planned a second trip to New Orleans to investigate Mafia don Carlos Marcello.
Dorothy was quoted as saying,
”If the wrong people knew what I know about the JFK assassination, it would cost me my life.”
On November 8, 1965, Dorothy's hair dresser, found her dead, propped up in bed, in full make-up, wig, and earrings. 
She was not wearing her regular pajamas, but instead a blue matching peignoir and robe. 
A book lay on her bed, that she had finished reading weeks earlier. 
Her reading glasses were nowhere nearby. 
She was found in a third-floor bedroom of her Manhattan townhouse, although she always slept in the fifth-floor.
Her death was much like Marilyn Monroe's, which she had also questioned. 

”If she were just trying to get to sleep, and took the overdose of the pills accidentally, why was the light on? 

Usually people sleep better in the dark.”

When Dorothy was found, her light was also on and like Marilyn Monroe it was determined that her death had been caused by a fatal combination of alcohol and barbiturates.
Dr. James Luke, the medical examiner that did her autopsy, did not sign the death certificate. 
It was signed by another physician, Dr. Dominick DiMaio.
When he was questioned, he did not know why his name was appeared on the certificate, and he was not working in Manhattan at the time of Dorothy's death.
An investigative article that took months to assemble, and relied on eyewitnesses and other sources who were never interviewed by authorities, her most likely was tied into her probe into the death of JFK. 
A  mysterious man  befriended her in the months leading up to her death. 
Just a day or so before she died, Dorothy told her hairdresser, Marc Sinclaire, her belief that someone close to her was a “snitch” and was watching her closely and feeding information to people who wished to do her harm.
Three years after her death, tissue samples were analyzed.
The glass next to her bed showed traces of a drug she was known to take called Nembutol, however  that drug was not found in her body. 
Analysis showed a deadly combination of three barbiturates: Secobarbital, Amobarbital, and Pentobarbital.
Her husband, who was sleeping on the fourth floor, gave inconsistent accounts of what happened the night of Dorothy's death.
He claimed that she arrived home at 11:30 p.m., happy, and went off to write her column, but at the same time she was seen in the lounge at The Regency Hotel where the What’s My Line? cast and guests gathered until 2 a.m. 
The Regency was seven blocks from the townhouse. 
Later, when asked about his wife’s JFK investigation,  he stated that,

”I’m afraid that will have to go to the grave with me.” 

He died of a drug overdose in 1971 without revealing any information about the investigation.
In 1975, Dorothy's son was contacted by the FBI wanting to know where her JFK files were.
He told them the notes were still missing.
This was long after the FBI decided Oswald had killed the president.
The large folder of notes on the JFK assassination that Dorothy  carried with her was never found.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is still looking into Dorothy's death.
Dorothy was laid to rest at  Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Westchester, NY.

Chris Watts Sentenced and Details About His Family's Death Comes Out.

Chris Watts was sentenced today, Monday, November 19th, 2018, to five life sentences, three consecutive and two concurrent, with no possibility of parole.
He also received an additional 48 years for the unlawful termination of his wife's pregnancy and 36 more years for crimes related to his disposal of the bodies.
With approval of his wife's family, prosecutors dropped the possibility of the death penalty.
Watts strangled his wife with his bare hands, deliberately and viciously for at least 2 minutes. 
Shanann didn't have any defensive wounds, only fingernail bruising to the side of her neck.
He then suffocated Bella and Celeste, Bella fighting back.
She also bit her tongue several times before she died.
He then backed his vehicle int the driveway, loaded up the bodies in three trips and drove them to a work site.
He buried his wife in a shallow grave before stuffing his daughters into tanks  a hatch 8 inches in diameter.
Bella had scratches on her left buttocks from being shoved through the hole.
When his coworkers arrived at the site later that morning, they described his behavior as perfectly normal. 
While local law enforcement searched for the woman and girls, Watts was texting his new girlfriend about their future.
A woman he had been dating told The Denver Post that he lied to her about being near the end of divorce proceedings.
The pair visited bars and museums.
 They visited the Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve in southern Colorado while Watts' wife was in North Carolina.
He had also researched secluded vacation spots in Aspen where he had planned to take the new girlfriend.
Shanann Watts noticed her husband's suspicious behavior.
She was getting alerts on her phone of credit cards being used at a restaurant in north Denver at a time that she was in North Carolina for amounts of money that one person couldn't possibly probably consume reasonably.
She confronted him numerous times and he was never completely forthcoming with her.
Shanann repeatedly texted her husband in the days before the murder.
She sent him self-help and relationship counseling books, one of which police discovered in the trash.
The morning his family vanished, he called his daughters’ school to dis enroll them, as well as a realtor to discuss selling his house.

JonBenet Ramsey's Death: Lies and Deception.

Will we ever find out what happened to JonBenet beyond a reasonable doubt?

Sadly, probably not....
One thing we know for sure that JonBenet was murdered.
I am hopeful that one day there will be some kind of justice for JonBenet.
I know i have written about her murder a few times before, there is just so many things that bother me about this case, I have to write about it.
You can read all my articles on Jonbenet  here.

Who Could Have Killed JonBenet
Break In The Case
JonBenet's Body to Be Exhumed
New Theory And Missing Evidence
Did you know DNA found at the crime scene was not from a single intruder?
A sample on JonBenet's underwear identified as coming from 'Unknown Male 1' may in fact was a composite from multiple people.
Did you know that alledgedly District Attorney Lacy knew this and yet in 2008 she alledgedly with held the whole truth, implying that the DNA pointed to a single intruder?
Did you know that the JonBenet Ramsey grand jury voted to indict parents in 1999?
Grand jurors, even without hearing from the lead detectives and without summoning John and Patsy, voted to indict them with multiple felonies including child abuse resulting in death.
Allegedly, the Denver Post quoted the previous district attorney, Alex Hunter as saying, 
"The grand jurors have done their work extraordinarily well... we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges against anyone who has been investigated..."
Interesting to say the least.
Patsy told the police that while walking down their back spiral staircase, she found the note laid out in three pages across one of the lower steps. 
Investigators had a hard time reenacting Patsy's steps on the steep, tight spiral stairway without falling or stepping on the note.  
After the 911 call that Patsy made, but before the authorities arrived, Patsy called neighbors Fleet and Priscilla White to the Ramsey home, along with other friends.
Did you know that Detectives found a partial draft of the ransom note in the home, and Patsy's legal pad on which the final ransom had been written on three of seven pages torn from the center of the pad?
Not every murder case is the same but usually a kidnapper doesn't write the ransom note, molest the victim, kill the victim, and leave the victim behind in the house.
A kidnapper doesn't forget to call to arrange to get the ransom money and doesn't break in on Christmas risking family stay overs.
A kidnapper doesn't put oversized underwear found in the house on the victim.
A predator, doesn't usually break in to molest a child inside her home and he sure doesn't stop to write a ransom note.
Supposedly the ransom note’s time element indicates it was composed around midnight. 
Take the line “I advise you to be rested.” from the ransom note.
A kidnapper would not normally give such advice to his victims. 
And the kidnappers tell the victims to get rest when they were supposedly already sleeping?
Did you know that the note never refered to Jonbenet by name?
Did you know that would have taken 21 minutes just to write, plus the time to compose and to write the draft version?
After the note was complete, the pad of paper was returned to its place on the hallway desk and the pen used was also returned to its place by the phone in the kitchen.
The ransom that was asked for was kind of small when you consider that Mr. Ramsey was CEO for a billion dollar company.
Did you know that  the amount being asked for was also exactly equal to Mr. Ramsey’s annual bonus?
Detectives found Ramsey handwriting samples in the home from Patsy, that were similar to the style on the "ransom" note.
The note's immediate misspellings and grammatical errors made it seem like the kidnapper was uneducated.
Later in the note, the author then slid into a more natural use of terms that showed a better education.
There was a broken basement window, but it had a dusty sill and an unbroken spider web in its right bottom corner. 
Below the sill, police found a scuff mark and below that a piece of broken glass on the basement floor.
There were no signs of forced entry and the alarm system had not been activated. 
Burke could have swung the flashlight that apparently cracked her skull, but the Boulder police have no evidence pointing to him and have never considered him a suspect. 
Burke injuring his sister would probably lead to a frantic 911 call, not to the staging of a molestation and murder scene. 
Even if his sister died, the family could have hired an army of lawyers and  the city would probably view it as accidental killing of a sibling by a nine-year-old child. 
The parents would also have to worry about Burke blurting the truth out.
Detective Linda Arndt remembers Mr. Ramsey’s demeanor when he initially greeted her as not distraught nor even upset, but cordial.
Arndt says that the Ramseys did not spend those morning hours in each other’s company.
Arndt says that 10 a.m., the ransom note deadline, passed and that the Ramseys did not remark whatsoever regarding the fact that the kidnapper had not called.
She also said that she asked everyone in the house to examine the ransom note for clues, and that almost everyone offered ideas to her except Mr. Ramsey.
She said that she was confused about why the Ramseys would not speak to her, give a formal interview or take a polygraph.
Arndt suggested Mr. Ramsey search the home. 
He did so with Fleet White.
When Mr. Ramsey came upon the corpse in the basement's wine cellar, he ripped the duct tape from her mouth, picked her up and brought her upstairs.
The sticky side of the tape had a perfect imprint of the young girls lips, but no indication of a protruding tongue or any effort to dislodge the tape. 
This suggests that the tape was used as a prop in staging a scene to make it look like the girl was being abducted.
Like it was placed after death.
The cord was tied, far too loosely to restrain a living child.
The route to wine cellar would be very difficult to navigate by a stranger, especially at night, especially if the child had been struggling.
The staircase light switch is not in an expected location on a wall, but above and behind someone entering the stairs, so they proably would have done all this in the dark.
At 1:30 p.m. a detective overheard John Ramsey talking by phone to his pilot and arranging a trip to Atlanta that evening for himself, his wife and son. 
He was told he couldn't leave of course.
During the autopsy, black light helped reveal that her body had been wiped clean but that a residue of blood was left on her thighs. 
Did you know that a paintbrush handle that was used as a ligature had a broken-off tip never found at the house?
The handle was used in accordance with a rope to choke JonBenet to death.
During an online chat in 2015 in a forum which he thought was relatively private, Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner wrote, 
"We know from the evidence she was hit in the head very hard with an unknown object, possibly a flashlight or similar type item.
 The blow knocked her into deep unconsciousness, which could have led someone to believe she was dead. 
The strangulation came 45 minutes to two hours after the head strike, based on the swelling on the brain. 
While the head wound would have eventually killed her, the strangulation actually did kill her. 
The rest of the scene we believe was staged, including the vaginal trauma, to make it look like a kidnapping/assault gone bad."
The coroner found something in her stomach 
“which may represent fragment of pineapple.” 
The party she attended that night had served no pineapple.
John Ramsey says that he had carried a sleeping JonBenet from the car straight to her bed that night. but police found a bowl of pineapple on the Ramsey’s dining room table.
The blanket that the murderer draped around JonBenet's body had a pubic hair that didn't belong to any family member.
Unidentifiable DNA material, "composite from multiple people", was on her underwear and beneath her fingernails. 
DNA "on her long johns appear to come from JonBenet and at least two other people, not one". 
An unidentifiable palm print of unknown age was on the wine cellar door. The panties on her body were too large for JonBenet.
Her long johns, along with her panties, contained a stain with male DNA which could not be linked to any house member.
Even new clothing can come with DNA present, but new clothes don't usually come with DNA in stains.
Patsy exclaimed that she had never before seen the underwear on her daughter’s corpse.
Detectives later found out that Patsy had recently purchased that pair of underwear at Bloomingdale's in New York for her 12-year-old niece, but JonBenet wanted them so Patsy kept them for her.
Officer Barry Harkopp interviewed next door neighbors and reported that Scott Gibbons saw strange lights and movements coming from the kitchen area around midnight.
Melody Stanton awoke her husband around midnight after hearing a scream, and he stated he heard “the sound of metal clashing against cement.” 
The Ramseys say they heard none of this.
Police found a Ramsey family flashlight on the kitchen counter.
On Dec. 27, 1996 Patsy Ramsey was  being exhausted and lying down, she told her friend, Pam Griffin, 
“We didn’t mean for this to happen”
Griffin got the definite feeling that  Patsy had revealed that she knew who the killer was.
Did you know investigators believe Patsy probably wrote the ransom note?
On March 5, 1997, police and handwriting experts clear John Ramsey and Burke as writers of the ransom note.  
On April 14, 1997, they request from her a fifth handwriting sample.
Some of over 200 similarities were found, including surprising idiosyncrasies, between Patsy's handwriting, with those in the ransom note.
On Feb. 19, 1997 the Ramseys refused to allow police to interview John’s oldest son, John Andrew. 
A known feud developed early on between the detectives and District Attorney Alex Hunter’s office. 
The duct tape roll and any remainder of the cord used were never found in the Ramsey mansion.
 A footprint one foot from the body made in concrete dust from a High-Tec brand boot could not be linked to any shoe in the house.
The stick used in the ligature strangulation came from one of Mrs. Ramsey’s paintbrushes. 
Part of the rest of the broken paintbrush was found in the basement among Patsy's art supplies.
Did you know that fibers found on the duct tape have been linked to the jacket that Patsy wore the night before.
When Patsy greeted an officer at 5:55 a.m. she was wearing the same velvet black pants and jacket she had just worn to the Christmas party and her make-up was still on and her hair was still done. 
Patsy maintains that she dressed that morning prior to finding out that JonBenet was missing. 
It took the police more than a year to get the clothing the Ramseys were wearing the night before.
Patsy did not change her outfit from one day to the next on two days of TV interviews. 
Police interpreted this as an effort to manipulate people into thinking that such was her common practice.
Police chief Beckner, who had headed up the Ramsey investigation, described the possible sources of the DNA found on JonBenet to include "Intentional placement". 
Did you know that allegedly there was a book found in the Ramsey's bedroom that could possibly link them to their daughter's murder?
Book author and FBI criminal profiler John Douglas wrote Mind Hunter, which reads in part like the JonBenet case in the use of duct tape, ligatures, and similar phrases in its ransom note. 
Investigators found that book in the Ramsey’s bedroom.

Excelsior! The Marvelous Stan Lee.

Stanely Martin Lieber

AKA Stan Lee

"You know, my motto is 'Excelsior.' 

That's an old word that means 'upward and onward to greater glory.'

Jaymee Closs is missing and parents were murdered.....

On October 15th, at around 12:30 a.m. neighbors of Denise and James Closs reporting hearing gunshots.
At 1:00 a.m., Denise made a chaotic and confusing 911 call.
The dispatcher could hear a lot of yelling.
By the time police got to the house, their 13 year old Jayme was gone and Denise and James Closs were shot  dead inside  their home in northwestern Wisconsin.
The front door was kicked in and a wounded James answered the door for officers before dying.
Denise had tried to barricade herself in the bathroom to no avail.
Multiple rounds had been spent, but there was no gun found at the scene.
Investigators believe Jayme was kidnapped.
Jayme is 5ft tall, 100 lbs, with green eyes and strawberry blonde hair.
Authorities are searching for two cars-2008 to a 2014 red or orange Dodge Challenger and a 2004 to a 2010 black Ford Edge or black Acura MDX.
There was a lead that came in that led authorities to organize a search.
The field that volunteers have been searching in are close to a house of part of that tip.
The other part of the tip is to a trailer court nearby, which, as far as i know, has yet to be searched.
The first 3 hours in an abduction case are critical.
Usually the person is killed in the first 3 hours, if they are going to be killed.
Why then didn't the Amber Alert go out for Jayme until 12 hours later?
i also was wondering why didn't neighbors call police?
Besides  hearing the gunshots, didn't they hear their neighbor's door being kicked in or the vehicle/s peeling away?
They didn't hear the screams either?
If this was a planned attack, it had to be someone the family knew?
Or someone that stalked their daughter perhaps.
Why would they be so brazen to go to the house and shoot it up like that if it was just to kidnap Jayme?
I'm sure there would be easier ways.
Maybe the parents knew them, or they were angry at them perhaps?
This get even stranger...
On the day that Denise and James are laid to rest, a man named  Kyle Jaenke Annis, breaks into their house and steals some of Jayme's underwear and other clothing.
He worked the Jennie-O Turkey store with Jayme's parents.
