Pam Griffin claimed that Fleet was acting strange on the day JonBenet was found murdered. She said that they were all at the Fernies house and Fleet kept coming in the bedroom where Patsy was and bothering her. They had to tell him to leave several times. Patsy even had to go in the bathroom at one point to get away from all that. Fleet kept trying to make Patsy and the family leave the Fernie's and go to his house, at one point John had to step in and tell him to leave Patsy alone.
Nedra didn't like Fleet, she said that he was “a wild man and a lunatic.”
JonBenet's aunt Pam Paugh was allowed to go back to the house under police supervision and get a few things the Ramsey family needed. She was allowed to stand at the door of a room and point at the items. Then the police carefully cataloged these possessions and delivered them to her. That is weird she was allowed to do that since the house was still an active crime scene. She spent an hour on her first trip through the crime scene and emerged with a big cardboard box filled to the brim, which she put into the trunk of the police car.
Did you know that John and Patsy made a photo op during JonBenet's funeral?
Once JonBenet's body was found, the FBI offered to help, but the police declined. The police did call the FBI in the next day, but alot of crucial evidence was lost.
Neighbors weren't questioned and houses weren't searched in the first 24 hours. Key witnesses weren't interviewed.
Did you know the police considered holding JonBenet's body until the Ramsey's gave interviews. This is what started the Ramsey's war with the police. This is when they lawyer-ed up and decided to do that now infamous television interview with CNN.
April 30th, 1997, John and Patsy gave their official interview to police.
The Ramsey's were allowed to review there very first interview for discrepancies before they were brought into the station to give their official interview.
Interestingly, the Ramsey's were close to the District attorney. The city's mayor Leslie L Durgin said he was extremely concerned about the relationship between the district attorney's office and the Ramsey attorneys. Allegedly there were weekly breakfast meetings between a Ramsey defense lawyer and Peter Hofstrom, the prosecutor's liaison to the Ramsey family.
He heard the house creaking during the night, he said, and when he awoke, his mother was turning on the lights and in a rush, saying,
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh," then his father turned the lights on and off again. Burke stayed in bed wondering if something had happened. He heard his father trying to calm his mother, then telling her to call the police.
Burke told the detective he did not get out of bed that morning and that a policeman looked into his room. He recalled thinking that when the police arrived "we would probably be tied up all day"
and that he was disappointed the family would not be going to Charlevoix as planned.
Burke Ramsey in his first interview he had been explicit in describing what happened to JonBenet. He confirmed that her bed-wetting had been a big problem. He said his sister fell asleep in the car on the way home but awakened to help carry presents into the house of a friend. When they got home, JonBenet walked in slowly and walked up the spiral stairs to bed, just ahead of Patsy. This is quite different than the story the parents kept spouting about carrying Jonbenet to bed and her being asleep.

Authorities never talked to any pageant mothers, photographers or any of the sort in JonBenet's case.
Access employees were told that anyone who spoke with the press or the police without permission would be fired.
Did you know that in order to get to the basement, the person carrying JonBenet would have walked right past a glass door leading to the yard?
Supposedly Fleet and his wife Priscilla were ruled out as suspects, but were allegedly key witnesses. Witnesses to what??
This is an excerpt taken from Fleet and Priscilla's really lengthy letter published in the Denver Post.
"The people of Colorado are entitled to be frustrated and angry with those public offlcials and other persons who have brought this case to its current status. We must be mindful, however, of the first cause of the investigation's failure - the refusal of John and Patsy Ramsey to cooperate fully and genuinely with those offlcially charged with the responsibilty of investigating the death of their daughter, JonBenet.
- Fleet Russell White, Jr. and Priscilla Brown White August 17, 1998
Boulder, CO"

“My first thought was if there was anything that I knew that could help with the investigation, I’m not going to be silent," Judith Miller said. "I opened my doors to reporters and talked to police twice. They cut me off as a friend because they thought I betrayed them."
One of Patsy's former friends from Atlanta. Judith says that at one of the Ramsey's Christmas parties.
"JonBenet came down with a beautiful dress, and bleach blonde hair. I was shocked, and I took Patsy aside and said "You’re not dying her hair, are you? And she said 'Oh no, Judith, that’s from the summer sun ...' Oh, are you kidding?"
Patsy asked Miller to ask for "protection" from the mayor of Boulder after JonBenet's murder. "I went to the mayor's office and said 'Patsy wants protection' and [the mayor] said 'There’s no murderer out there.'"

Patsy asked Miller to ask for "protection" from the mayor of Boulder after JonBenet's murder. "I went to the mayor's office and said 'Patsy wants protection' and [the mayor] said 'There’s no murderer out there.'"
Jane Stobie was not surprised that Ramsey had gone from defending himself to accusing his friends.“I knew those people were bad, bad news. We called it ‘the evil empire’—for a reason.”
In 1999, Grand Jurors, even without hearing from 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 as saying,
"The grand jurors have done their work extraordinarily well...
We do note have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges against anyone who has been investigated."
The housekeeper told the grand jury that Patsy had become very moody right before Christmas 1996.
"I think she had multiple personalities. She'd be in a good mood and then she'd be cranky. She got into arguments with JonBenet about wearing a dress or about a friend coming over. I had never seen Patsy so upset."
In 2001, grand jury specialist and the man who led the 13 month grand jury probe, Michael Kane, gave an interview about the secrets remaining in JonBenet's murder case. He said,
"There remains dozens of secrets, absolutely dozens. And alot of what the public thinks is fact, is simply not fact."
In June 2008, Linda Arnt claimed that 90 percent of the case details have not been disclosed accurately.
As of September 2016, the Boulder Police Department has processed more than 1,500 pieces of evidence, including the analysis of over 200 DNA samples. The major crimes unit has received and reviewed or investigated over 20,000 tips, letters or emails. Detectives have traveled to over 18 states and interviewed or spoken with more than 1,000 individuals. The initial District Attorney, Alex Hunter, pursued an investigation of convicted pedophiles in the Boulder area.However, he said that he would not clear the Ramseys.
Reportedly, JonBenet's father, John Ramsey, gave the go a head in May of 2018, to exhume JonBenet's body. John Ramsey stated that he made a mistake on not letting his daughter be exhumed earlier.
Also in 2018, newly appointed district attorney in Colorado's Boulder County formed a special task force to investigate 34 unsolved missing persons and murder cases.
One of the cases the task force is supposedly investigating is that of the killing of JonBenet.

The Ramsey's close friends claim that they didn't even know about wine cellar, so how could a complete stranger know about it?
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.
Allegedly the police lost palm prints and a lot of evidence from interviews.
There were allegations that John Ramsey gave his pilot, Mike Archuleta, JonBenet's deathbed sheets, girl's nightie and stuffed animals that he had hid in box that he had spirited out of the house.
After spending 20 months investigating JonBenét’s murder, Thomas resigned in August 1998. In April 2000, he published “JonBenét: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation,” in which he blamed Patsy Ramsey for her daughter’s death. He theorized that after the girl wet the bed and her mother accidentally killed her during “some sort of explosive encounter in the child’s bathroom.” He believed that Patsy Ramsey fabricated the kidnapping, wrote the ransom note and staged the whole event. He also dismissed as absurd the Ramseys’ argument that Boulder police failed to look at other suspects.
In 2003, Susan Stine was discovered to have been emailing numerous people, including Ramsey case journalist Charlie Brennan, pretending to be Chief Beckner.
After JonBenet's murder, Joe Barnhill had never been contacted by the family and didn't know why. The only one that contacted him was one of their investigators telling him to "be quiet- and never talk about what he saw the morning of the murder". He said "they told me I was mistaken"....I found that to be very odd. Never once was he contacted when his wife was deathly ill and ultimately died very near the time that Nedra died. He kept JonBenet's dog the dog passed away.
Joe said that teenage kids and others right on the street weren't tested for DNA. He said the guy that lived right next door, single at the time, wasn't even checked.
Bill 72 years old when he was found dead from a heart attack in his Mashpee, Mass., home Monday, September 9th, 2003 by his wife, Janet, when she returned from a weekend trip.
Janet McReynolds said.
"He loved being Santa, he loved little children, and then the Ramsey case destroyed that career and just devastated him.
He loved that little girl.
It was a very sad thing in his life because he genuinely loved children, and it was the happiest part of his life."
Chris Wolf was a freelance journalist and a reporter for the Colorado Daily and the Boulder County Business Report with a master's degree in journalism. His girlfriend called the police and said he had stormed out of the house on Christmas night and come back the following morning, with muddy clothes. He became furious when he saw news reports of JonBenet's death on TV. The ransom note was signed 'S.B.T.C'; Wolf had a sweatshirt bearing those initials - they stood for Santa Barbara Tennis Club. He had written an article about John Ramsey's company, Access Graphics, and may have had access to information about his bonus. He was a friend of Bill McReynolds.
Since JonBenet's murder, the Hoffman-Pugh family’s life has been a mess. Linda had no job after the murder, and her daughter had lost a friend, JonBenet, because the two girls played together much of the time. The family’s income came mainly from delivering the Greeley Tribune in Fort Lupton.
After a best-selling book, “Perfect Murder, Perfect Town,” by Lawrence Schiller was released in 1998, Hoffman-Pugh discovered she was named as a suspect in the case.
The family moved to Evans, Mervin lost his job, Linda was in a traffic accident and has been adjudged 65 percent disabled for the rest of her life.
She said that because of other children’s taunts about the Ramsey case, Ariana couldn’t continue in school. For a couple of years, Ariana was home schooled, but hasn’t been able to finish school.The family still delivers the newspaper and struggles with the thought that Hoffman-Pugh was named a murder suspect.
Linda still believes Patsy Ramsey murdered JonBenet.
“JonBenet’s case still haunts my family,” Linda said.
“I still look back over my shoulder when we’re out at night.”
Patsy claimed to investigators that Linda's family was struggling for money and had asked her for a loan of several thousand dollars, which Patsy declined.
Linda was asleep in bed while her husband allegedly slept on the couch. Duct tape and white nylon cording was found in her house.
Linda was asleep in bed while her husband allegedly slept on the couch. Duct tape and white nylon cording was found in her house.
Linda had recently been in the windowless room where JonBenet's body was found and knew of the broken window. She had a key to the Ramsey house as well as access to John's payroll stubs.
Linda gave differing stories about the cellar. She claimed she didn't know it was there, even thought she got the Christmas trees from there.
Alex Hunter was the District Attorney for Boulder County from 1973 until 2001.He was the man responsible for refusing to indict the Ramseys during the JonBenét Ramsey murder case. He allegedly blocked the BPD from gathering evidence against the Ramsey's while simultaneously claiming lack of evidence against the Ramsey's as the reason he didn't prosecute.
Lacy graduated with honors from the University of Iowa College of Law and served as the Boulder County DA from 2001 to 2009. Before her tenure as District Attorney, Lacy also spent 10 years as chief of the Sexual Assault Unit in the District Attorney’s Office, during which time she created both the Sex Assault Unit and the Sex Assault Review Team, units which are devoted to sex crimes.
She issued a formal apology in 2008 to the Ramsey family stating that the DNA evidence taken from JonBenet's clothing didn't match the family.
Before she publicly exonerated the Ramseys, Lacey knew, from a report she was given, that the DNA profile was possibly from multiple people and should not be considered a single source profile.
Emails from and investigator from her office showed, that after preliminary tests showed the presence of unknown male DNA on JonBenet's long johns, that his bosses didn't see the need for additional testing.

In 2005, Linda Ardnt heard Patsy's cancer and returned and contacted her. She said that Patsy was "imprisoned by secrets". They talked about the promise Ardnt made to Patsy back in 1997. On January 8th, 1997 Arndt was at the Child Advocacy Center in Niwot where JonBenet's older brother Burke was being interviewed by a child psychologist.
"Patsy and I were alone for over an hour, and she shared a lot of things in that conversation. She did, and I did," Arndt recalled.
"And one of the things she demanded of me, she looked me in the eye and grabbed my hand and said, 'Promise me, promise me you will stay on this case and you will find out who did this to JonBenet.'And she's writing a memoir in hopes of keeping her promise to Patsy.
Arndt wasn't allowed by to stay on the case. She was pulled off in April 1997, demoted and quit the force two years later.
Michael Helgoth was born on July 9th, 1970 in Kimball County, Nebraska to Russell G Helgoth and Coni R. Nye Helgoth. He worked for Valmont Auto Parts for 11 years, where he was a mechanic and performed other duties. Helgoth graduated from Boulder High School in 1989 and joined the U.S. Army, serving 13 months. He belonged to Nova Club, received several awards for drafting and enjoyed anything associated with automobiles and the automotive industry.
At the time of JonBenet's murder he was a 26 year old electrician who lived 2 miles away.
Helgoth owned two wolf dog puppies whose fur allegedly "exactly matched" the 2 different colors of animal hairs found on JBR's body.
He had a hat with the initials S.B.T.C., the same initials were on the ransom note.
His family owned a junkyard on the outskirts of town and he confessed to the killing on a recording claims one of his former co-workers. The former employee claims to ave heard details about the confession and says someone close to Helgoth has the tape.
Helgoth committed suicide less than two months after JonBenet's murder, but according to the Ramsey's investigator, Ollie Gray, Helgoth was killed. His death was on Valentines day if 1997, one day after Bolder District Attorney Alex Hunter announced they were narrowing the search for JonBenet Ramsey's killer.
Helgoth was right-handed, but the trajectory of the fatal bullet went from left to right.
A stun gun was found near Helgoth's body, as well as "HI-TEC" boots. Evidence in the case suggests that JonBenet's killer used a stun gun on her. Unidentified shoe prints from HI-TEC boots also were found in the Ramsey's basement.
Helgoth's DNA was never tested against the DNA found at JonBenet's murder scene.
John Steven Gigax had been convicted of sexually assaulting a barely underage girl and had a history of violence. He was imprisoned in the 1980's for a sexual assault on a child. Gigax lived in a trailer park very close to Helgoth and had worked in the Ramsey house. Some say he was an accomplice of Helgoth. Supposedly he was not in Boulder when JonBenet was murdered.
Investigators want to exhume Meyers body to see if they can solve this cold case once and for all.
James Partin was arrested in December, 1997 for selling child pornography on the Net. Police searched Partin’s home and found a newspaper clipping about the 1983 kidnap of Beth Miller,14, and a map of Idaho Springs marked with several X’s. A photo of JonBenet was found in his possession. Boulder police announced that they would contact the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to learn more about the Ramsey photo in Partin’s collection, but a local newspaper reported that they “do not believe that Partin had any involvement” in the slaying and that “It’s not a high priority.”
John Mark Karr AKA Alexis Reich was a 41 year old elementary school teacher. He was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 15, 2006 when he falsely confessed to murdering JonBenét. He claimed that he had drugged, sexually assaulted, and accidentally killed her. Authorities also said they did not find any evidence linking him to the crime scene.
He had been arrested multiple times for child pornography.
He supposedly was near the Ramsey house when JonBenet died.
In a bizarre interview that aired on the 2016 US TV show Investigation Discovery’s series JonBenet: An American Murder Mystery, John Karr aka Alexis Reich, then 51 stated that, "Nobody wanted that little girl to die that night, nobody. Her death was an accident. I was with her when she died. But I was not the person who caused it."He explained a panic had ensued after her death."
"How she was found, that’s not how she died. Where she was found in that basement is not where she died."
Karr also said JonBenet’s body was tampered with in a bid to cover up who the killer was.
"Something happened to her and I had to take care of it. I have always been able to fix things. Nobody came in there and did a paedoerotic thing to that little girl, but it was made to look as though it was done that way."
He also claimed the kidnap letter found at the Ramsey house was fake and simply there to make her death look like a botched kidnapping.
Gary Howard Olivia is a registered sex offender. He lived right down the street from the Ramsey home. He supposedly used the same knots that were found to tie the garrote as the same he used on a telephone cord in attempts to strangle his mother.
In 2016, he was charged with sexual exploitation of a child. He is accused of uploading 20 images of child pornography to his email account.
He allegedly confessed to "accidentally" killing JonBenet in a series of letters sent to a former high school classmate, Michael Vail.
Olivia is currently serving a 1-year sentence in Colorado for possession of child pornography. He is up for parole this year.
In some of his letters Olivia said,
"I never loved anyone like i did JonBenet and yet i let her slip and her head bashed in half and i watched her die. It was an accident. Believe me. She was not like other kids. JonBenet completely changed me and removed all evil from me. Just one look at her beautiful face, her glowing beautiful skin, and her divine God-body, i realized i was wrong to kill other kids.Yet by accident she died and it was all my fault."
Vail has suspected Olivia for the last 22 years, ever since he received a disturbing phone call from him shortly after JonBenet's murder.
Vail said, "My suspicions began when Gary called me late at night on December 26th, 1996. He was sobbing and said, 'I hurt a little girl.'I tried to get more information out of him. The only other thing he told me was that he was in Boulder, Colorado area. On December 27th i read on the front page of my local newspaper, 'Girl, 6, Slain in Boulder, Colorado.'...I immediately called the Boulder Police Department and told them what i knew about Gary and what he had told me just days earlier. They didn't get back to me. Three months later i called the police again to find out what was going on in it's investigation of Gary, but instead i was sent to the police answering machine set up for tips on the JonBenet Case. I left a message on the recorded line and again i never heard back from investigators."
Despite receiving several tips from Vail, Boulder police didn't consider him a suspect until 2000.
In 2002, Lou Smit, a retired homicide detective hired by the Boulder District Attorney, told 45 hours that he still considered Olivia a suspect.
Vail thinks that Boulder police have placed "too much emphasis on DNA matches" when it is well known that the "crime scene and evidence in the was compromised."
Vail has maintained contact with Olivia for years in hopes of coaxing a confession out of him.
"I have now sent these letters to Boulder police in the hope it will get Gary to provide them with firm proof and to name who else may have been involved in JonBenet's death... Now they have this, a written confession, the police need to charge him with her murder."
David Russell Williams is an English-born Canadian serial killer and former Colonel in the Canadian Forces. From July 2009 until his arrest in February 2010, Williams commanded CFB Trenton, Canada's largest military airbase and a hub for the country's foreign and domestic air transport operations. He was also a decorated military pilot who had flown Canadian Forces VIP aircraft for dignitaries such as Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and the Governor General and Prime Minister of Canada.
He would crush the skull of his victims the way that JonBenet's skull was crushed, using some sort of blunt object, usually a flashlight. And much like the way Jonbenet was killed, David would garrote and suffocate his victims with duct tape over their mouths. He also would stake out the house and enter through a basement window. David also had pedophilia tendencies and would steal young girl's underwear.The knot used on the Garrote to kill Jonbenet was a military type knot.
Some say that maybe he flew in a rented aircraft, with a team, as a part of the NORAD centers program and fly to Boulder Colorado.
NORAD, or the North American Aerospace Defense Command, is a combined organization of the United States and Canada that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and protection for Northern America.
Ed Edwards AKA Charles Murphy grew up primarily as an orphan in Akron, Ohio after witnessing the suicide of his mother. He joined the Marines to get out of Juvenile detention, but went AWOL and was dishonorably discharged. He worked as a ship docker, vacuum retailer and handyman.
He was also a convicted American serial killer. He escaped from jail in Akron, Ohio in 1955 when he pushed past a guard and fled across the country, holding up gas stations for money. In 1961, he landed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He eventually was captured and arrested in Atlanta, Georgia on January 20, 1962. He was paroled in 1967 and between 1977 and 1996 he murdered at least five people. He is suspected of several additional killings. Several theories have connected Edwards to a variety of crimes including the Atlanta murders of 1979–81.
Some investigators have noted that Edwards lived in northern California during each of the Zodiac Killer's murders in the late 1960's and would have, at the time, closely matched the Zodiac's description. According to Edwards' daughter, there are many hints that would imply Edwards was the Zodiac Killer, such as his obsession with the well known serial killer. She has said that he would make his children watch news reports on the Zodiac Killer, and would exclaim "That's not how it happened!" during some of the reports.
Former cold case detective John A. Cameron believes that Edwards should be considered in JonBenet's murder. He believes that the note that was left at the scene of the Ramsey murder can be connected to that of the Zodiac Killer, who he believes is Edwards.
Bob Enyard is an American talk radio host and pastor of Denver Bible Church from Paterson, New Jersey. He is best known for buying nearly $16,000 worth of O. J. Simpson memorabilia at an auction benefiting the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1999.
He then led a group that set fire to the items on the steps of the Los Angeles courthouse where Simpson was acquitted in protest of the verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case.
Enyart is also known for his views on homosexuality and abortion. He pickets the homes of doctors performing abortions. Enyart also angered families of AIDS victims when he read the men's obituaries on his television show calling the deceased "sodomite[s]". Enyart has also led residential protests against executives of a company which provided construction services for Planned Parenthood offices. Enyart has criticized presidential candidates who do not share his view on abortion.
He says that children's "hearts are lifted" by spanking. He was convicted of misdemeanor child abuse in 1994 after beating his girlfriend's child with a belt so hard that the beating broke the skin.
In June 2009, Bob Enyart was convicted of criminal trespass following a protest at Focus on the Family.
Enyart promotes the idea that homosexuals should be put to death.
He thinks that the John and Patsy are probably have something to do with JonBenet's murder.
Danielle Kekoa says that Enyart is a head of a cult. She claims that that the "cult" had been in was a domestic terrorist group that is involved in child abductions and murders.
Danielle thinks that Enyart is responsible for JonBenet's murder. She says that Enyart and his "cult" were in Boulder on Christmas 1996. She says that children in Boulder started to go missing.
She is an alleged FBI informant from Colorado. She was involved in the Anti-abortion extremist movement. She and her husband attended the Denver Bible Church. Bob Enyart had invited them out to protest. Danielle and her husband became involved in protests with him for 10 years. In 2011, they got out of that lifestyle. Danielle says that she didn't realize it at the time, but it was a cult they were involved in with Bob Enyart as the ringleader. She says that a few weeks after they left the cult, law enforcement came after them brought on by false claims from the "cult". She claims that she found out that the "cult" she had been in was a domestic terrorist group that is involved in child abductions and murders.
According to Patsy's other fellow pageant mothers, JonBenet's primary photographer, Randy Simons, had just freaked out after JonBenet's death and behaved in a way they had never seen him act before. Allegedly, he started calling them up in the middle of the night, screaming and crying as he said that he did not kill JonBenet.
In October 1998 he was being held in the Lincoln County Jail pending a psychiatric evaluation. Simons was living in an undisclosed location about 120 miles east of Denver after he sold a portfolio of JonBenét glamour pictures to Sygma Photo Agency for $7,500 in January 1997. He said at the time he hoped the worldwide exposure would lead to the capture of JonBenét's killer, but acknowledged that controversy over the pictures could jeopardize his career. The pictures were taken during a June 1996 photo shoot. They showed the 6-year-old beauty queen in makeup and curls and generated criticism of children's pageants.
"My career is done. I'll probably never work again," he said then.
Simons later told cops that he was a children’s photographer, and they promptly notified local parents to see if he possibly shot their kids or left them alone with him.
The alleged kiddie porn collector made headlines in 1998 when he was arrested for indecent exposure in Lincoln County, Colorado, for allegedly walking down a road naked.
“I didn’t kill JonBenét,” he told his arresting officer.
Simons was held in jail after the indecent exposure incident and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, though it’s unclear what happened with his case.
"Patsy and I were alone for over an hour, and she shared a lot of things in that conversation. She did, and I did," Arndt recalled.
"And one of the things she demanded of me, she looked me in the eye and grabbed my hand and said, 'Promise me, promise me you will stay on this case and you will find out who did this to JonBenet.'And she's writing a memoir in hopes of keeping her promise to Patsy.
Arndt wasn't allowed by to stay on the case. She was pulled off in April 1997, demoted and quit the force two years later.
Tom Koby was the Boulder Police chief at the time of JonBenet's murder. Koby's reluctance to admit his officers made mistakes in the first days of the Ramsey case, combined with his perceived arrogance at press briefings, made the chief a national scapegoat for the beleaguered murder investigation.
Koby began his career with the Houston Police Department in 1969. By early 1991, he was one of Houston's five assistant chiefs. In June of that year, he became Boulder's police chief.
Tom Koby faced intense criticism of how his department handled the investigation into JonBenét Ramsey’s death. Koby became Boulder’s police chief in 1991. When Koby announced his retirement plans on Nov. 19, 1997, he said he would delay his departure for 13 months because he wanted to give himself enough time to decide whether the murder could be solved. In May 1998, he moved to the city manager’s office where he continued working until he officially retired at the end of the year.
Michael Tracey is a professor of journalism at the University of Colorado. He has made three documentaries about the Ramsey case and thinks John and Patsy are innocent. He feels very close to solving the case.
At the time of JonBenet's murder he was a 26 year old electrician who lived 2 miles away.
The private investigator hired by John and Patsy to find out who killed their daughter claims it was him.
Helgoth knew the Ramseys from a property dispute and this may have provided some motivation for the crime.
Helgoth owned two wolf dog puppies whose fur allegedly "exactly matched" the 2 different colors of animal hairs found on JBR's body.
He had a hat with the initials S.B.T.C., the same initials were on the ransom note.
His family owned a junkyard on the outskirts of town and he confessed to the killing on a recording claims one of his former co-workers. The former employee claims to ave heard details about the confession and says someone close to Helgoth has the tape.
Helgoth was right-handed, but the trajectory of the fatal bullet went from left to right.
A stun gun was found near Helgoth's body, as well as "HI-TEC" boots. Evidence in the case suggests that JonBenet's killer used a stun gun on her. Unidentified shoe prints from HI-TEC boots also were found in the Ramsey's basement.
Helgoth's DNA was never tested against the DNA found at JonBenet's murder scene.
In 2000, John Kenady was charged with burglary and theft of a Boulder County home told sheriff's deputies he was investigating the unsolved 1996 JonBenét Ramsey homicide. That year he had also handed over a pair of Hi-Tec boots to private investigators working for John and Patsy Ramsey. The boots Kenady gave investigators belonged to a former resident of the house he allegedly broke into. The resident in question was Helgoth.
Kenady was friends with Helgoth and said he suspected him of having some involvement in the killing, but did not say why, according to police reports.
The documents stolen from the home were found in Kenady's possession. The drawings belonged to the deceased man.
Officers at the Boulder Police Department and the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said Kenady may be mentally impaired from a car accident. Kenady's attorney, Karin Dostal, said her client is mentally competent.
She said she would not comment on the case other than to say, "There are certain things that will come out later."
Some people theorize Kenady was an accomplice to Helgoth.

Glenn Meyer's widow and ex-wife, Charlotte, came forward claiming that Glenn killed JonBenet. She said that he was obsessed with JonBenet.
She claimed,
"When i asked him if he murdered her, he would just smile at me.
He wouldn't deny it."
Glenn had built a shrine to JonBenet using pictures and newspaper clippings. Supposedly, his handwriting matched the ransom note found in the Ramsey home. Cops considered him a suspect.
A new witness made a deathbed confession. She said that she saw Meyer on the Ramsey property on the night of JonBenet's murder.
"He was violent with my little girl. She was in fourth grade and he gave her a horrible spanking. I told him to stop, but he wouldn't. A lot of times he was cruel to my kids. They were afraid of him. I was scared of him," Charlotte recalled.

Investigators want to exhume Meyers body to see if they can solve this cold case once and for all.
James Partin was arrested in December, 1997 for selling child pornography on the Net. Police searched Partin’s home and found a newspaper clipping about the 1983 kidnap of Beth Miller,14, and a map of Idaho Springs marked with several X’s. A photo of JonBenet was found in his possession. Boulder police announced that they would contact the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to learn more about the Ramsey photo in Partin’s collection, but a local newspaper reported that they “do not believe that Partin had any involvement” in the slaying and that “It’s not a high priority.”
He had been arrested multiple times for child pornography.
He supposedly was near the Ramsey house when JonBenet died.
In a bizarre interview that aired on the 2016 US TV show Investigation Discovery’s series JonBenet: An American Murder Mystery, John Karr aka Alexis Reich, then 51 stated that, "Nobody wanted that little girl to die that night, nobody. Her death was an accident. I was with her when she died. But I was not the person who caused it."He explained a panic had ensued after her death."
"How she was found, that’s not how she died. Where she was found in that basement is not where she died."
Karr also said JonBenet’s body was tampered with in a bid to cover up who the killer was.
"Something happened to her and I had to take care of it. I have always been able to fix things. Nobody came in there and did a paedoerotic thing to that little girl, but it was made to look as though it was done that way."
He also claimed the kidnap letter found at the Ramsey house was fake and simply there to make her death look like a botched kidnapping.
In 2010 she went through a hormone-replacement surgery and she currently lives as a woman named Alexis Reich.
When he was arrested for trespassing and other charges in 2000, officers found him in possession of a stun gun, a photo of JonBenet, and a poem about her titled "Ode to JonBenet."
In 2016, he was charged with sexual exploitation of a child. He is accused of uploading 20 images of child pornography to his email account.
He allegedly confessed to "accidentally" killing JonBenet in a series of letters sent to a former high school classmate, Michael Vail.
Olivia is currently serving a 1-year sentence in Colorado for possession of child pornography. He is up for parole this year.
In some of his letters Olivia said,
"I never loved anyone like i did JonBenet and yet i let her slip and her head bashed in half and i watched her die. It was an accident. Believe me. She was not like other kids. JonBenet completely changed me and removed all evil from me. Just one look at her beautiful face, her glowing beautiful skin, and her divine God-body, i realized i was wrong to kill other kids.Yet by accident she died and it was all my fault."
Vail has suspected Olivia for the last 22 years, ever since he received a disturbing phone call from him shortly after JonBenet's murder.
Vail said, "My suspicions began when Gary called me late at night on December 26th, 1996. He was sobbing and said, 'I hurt a little girl.'I tried to get more information out of him. The only other thing he told me was that he was in Boulder, Colorado area. On December 27th i read on the front page of my local newspaper, 'Girl, 6, Slain in Boulder, Colorado.'...I immediately called the Boulder Police Department and told them what i knew about Gary and what he had told me just days earlier. They didn't get back to me. Three months later i called the police again to find out what was going on in it's investigation of Gary, but instead i was sent to the police answering machine set up for tips on the JonBenet Case. I left a message on the recorded line and again i never heard back from investigators."
Despite receiving several tips from Vail, Boulder police didn't consider him a suspect until 2000.
Vail thinks that Boulder police have placed "too much emphasis on DNA matches" when it is well known that the "crime scene and evidence in the was compromised."
Vail has maintained contact with Olivia for years in hopes of coaxing a confession out of him.
"I have now sent these letters to Boulder police in the hope it will get Gary to provide them with firm proof and to name who else may have been involved in JonBenet's death... Now they have this, a written confession, the police need to charge him with her murder."
He would crush the skull of his victims the way that JonBenet's skull was crushed, using some sort of blunt object, usually a flashlight. And much like the way Jonbenet was killed, David would garrote and suffocate his victims with duct tape over their mouths. He also would stake out the house and enter through a basement window. David also had pedophilia tendencies and would steal young girl's underwear.The knot used on the Garrote to kill Jonbenet was a military type knot.
Some say that maybe he flew in a rented aircraft, with a team, as a part of the NORAD centers program and fly to Boulder Colorado.
He was also a convicted American serial killer. He escaped from jail in Akron, Ohio in 1955 when he pushed past a guard and fled across the country, holding up gas stations for money. In 1961, he landed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He eventually was captured and arrested in Atlanta, Georgia on January 20, 1962. He was paroled in 1967 and between 1977 and 1996 he murdered at least five people. He is suspected of several additional killings. Several theories have connected Edwards to a variety of crimes including the Atlanta murders of 1979–81.
Some investigators have noted that Edwards lived in northern California during each of the Zodiac Killer's murders in the late 1960's and would have, at the time, closely matched the Zodiac's description. According to Edwards' daughter, there are many hints that would imply Edwards was the Zodiac Killer, such as his obsession with the well known serial killer. She has said that he would make his children watch news reports on the Zodiac Killer, and would exclaim "That's not how it happened!" during some of the reports.
Former cold case detective John A. Cameron believes that Edwards should be considered in JonBenet's murder. He believes that the note that was left at the scene of the Ramsey murder can be connected to that of the Zodiac Killer, who he believes is Edwards.
He then led a group that set fire to the items on the steps of the Los Angeles courthouse where Simpson was acquitted in protest of the verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case.
Enyart is also known for his views on homosexuality and abortion. He pickets the homes of doctors performing abortions. Enyart also angered families of AIDS victims when he read the men's obituaries on his television show calling the deceased "sodomite[s]". Enyart has also led residential protests against executives of a company which provided construction services for Planned Parenthood offices. Enyart has criticized presidential candidates who do not share his view on abortion.
He says that children's "hearts are lifted" by spanking. He was convicted of misdemeanor child abuse in 1994 after beating his girlfriend's child with a belt so hard that the beating broke the skin.
In June 2009, Bob Enyart was convicted of criminal trespass following a protest at Focus on the Family.
Enyart promotes the idea that homosexuals should be put to death.
He thinks that the John and Patsy are probably have something to do with JonBenet's murder.
Danielle thinks that Enyart is responsible for JonBenet's murder. She says that Enyart and his "cult" were in Boulder on Christmas 1996. She says that children in Boulder started to go missing.
In October 1998 he was being held in the Lincoln County Jail pending a psychiatric evaluation. Simons was living in an undisclosed location about 120 miles east of Denver after he sold a portfolio of JonBenét glamour pictures to Sygma Photo Agency for $7,500 in January 1997. He said at the time he hoped the worldwide exposure would lead to the capture of JonBenét's killer, but acknowledged that controversy over the pictures could jeopardize his career. The pictures were taken during a June 1996 photo shoot. They showed the 6-year-old beauty queen in makeup and curls and generated criticism of children's pageants.
"My career is done. I'll probably never work again," he said then.
In July of 2019, Randy was arraigned following a year-long investigation by the Oakridge Police Department. Authorities had executed a search warrant on his home just days earlier, which turned up four laptops, three camcorders, two bags of writable optical discs and six cameras.
Cops had been tipped off by workers at a local A&W Restaurant back in July 2018, who had noticed that someone was using their WiFi to download x-rated content.
Using a special software program, authorities were able to see Simons log into the A&W WiFi system and tracked the activity back to his home.

Simons later told cops that he was a children’s photographer, and they promptly notified local parents to see if he possibly shot their kids or left them alone with him.
The alleged kiddie porn collector made headlines in 1998 when he was arrested for indecent exposure in Lincoln County, Colorado, for allegedly walking down a road naked.
“I didn’t kill JonBenét,” he told his arresting officer.
Simons was held in jail after the indecent exposure incident and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, though it’s unclear what happened with his case.
