Is one of the last photos taken of JonBenet show her with an alleged sex trafficker?

When the A&E documentary, Hunting JonBenét’s Killer: The Untold Story, premiered in April, 2019, this photo of Jonbenet was first seen. There are some that say that the lady in the photo with her is Ghislaine Maxwell, the lady on trial for being involved in an alleged sex trafficking ring with Jeffery Epstein.

The JonBenet Chronicles: Chapter 8: Theories, Another Pedophile Ring And JonBenet's Last Photo.

When a family member is involved in a murder, they are likely to cover their child's body in a protective manner, covering all but their head. Just JonBenet's torso was covered, which did not denote the kind of act a parent would generally perform.

It was determined that there had been more than 100 burglaries in the Ramseys' neighborhood in the months before JonBenét's murder. There were 38 registered sex offenders living within a two-mile radius of the Ramsey's home.

Boulder is located in Northern Colorado, at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Boulder is known for its association with American frontier history and for being the home of the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state's largest university.

The Tiaa Cerf also known as the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America-College Retirement Equities Fund, had major holdings in Boeing at the time of JonBenet's demise.

1. Burke Ramsey Theory
Alleged theory with then 9-year-old Burke who, along with his parents, killed then 6-year-old JonBenet by accident in a fit of rage, perhaps over a toy or her eating his food or that he was jealous over the attention that JonBenet was getting.

Neighbor Judy Miller thinks that this might be possible.

Agent Jim Clemente listened to the 911 call and states that he thinks he hears three distinctive voices, one of those voices belonging to a child.

Burke was known to have a bit of a temper and he had previously hit JonBenet in the cheek with a golf club.

Being so young at the time, if he did do it, i don't think he could have kept it a secret. When the police arrived Burke was shuffled off to the White's house, which was chalk full of their family. If Burke did commit the crime, i don't think his parents would have let him go there unsupervised. i think he would have spill what he knew.

2. Bed Wetting TheoryAlleged theory with Patsy Ramsey as the killer. Covering up a tragic accident and staging the murder scene. Patsy struck JonBenét in a fit of rage after a bed-wetting episode, and then strangled her to cover up what had happened after mistakenly thinking she was already dead.

Supposedly, investigators found that JonBenet had plastic sheets on her bed along with a pee stain and the pull up diaper package hanging out of her cabinet. There was also the turtle neck shirt that JonBenet had been wearing that night, balled up in her bathroom. The vaginal trauma is theorize as some sort of punishment, maybe violent wiping. The theory is that Patsy and JonBenet had some kind of argument in the bathroom and Patsy thought she killed JonBenet when her head somehow was struck on the edge of the bathtub or sink. All this supposedly happened while John and Burke slept. With this theory, all of this happened just before 1 a.m. At this point this is supposedly when Patsy takes JonBenet downstairs and stages the abduction. She writes the note and then goes downstairs and strangles JonBenet, ties the girls wrists in front loosely and with a lot of slack. Patsy then wrapped her in her favorite blanket and left her with her favorite nightgown. Then she placed the ransom note on the stairs and put the pen and notepad back. She found tape and went back downstairs and put it over JonBenet's mouth. She it theorized that she then disposes of the tape and cord by putting them in the garbage with the Christmas wrapping outside or tosses them into a storm drain or a neighbor's trash can. Back inside John is waking up and Patsy, wearing what she was the night before, lets out a scream and John comes running. This wakes up Burke and he comes down stairs to see what was happening as Patsy is on the phone with the 911 operator and he is sent back to bed. John supposedly was growing suspicious of Patsy and when he disappeared for over an hour that day, he had found the body and that is why he went straight to the basement when asked to search from top to bottom. He loved Patsy and he had already lost two children and what happened was an accident, so he he decided to protect Patsy. He didn't want to lose Patsy too.

Perfect Murder, Perfect Town

Is a book that thoroughly recreates every aspect of the complex case of the death of JonBenét Ramsey. It was also made into a TV miniseries.

This quote from the Ramsey's housekeeper Linda and is from the book.

"In the summer of '96, JonBenet started wearing those diaper-type panties--Pull-Ups. She even wore them to bed. There was always a wet one in the trash. By the end of the summer, Patsy was trying to get her to do without them. Then JonBenet started wetting the bed again. Almost every day I was there, there was a wet bed. Patsy said she wasn't going to use Pull-Ups again. She just put a plastic cover on the bed. No big deal to her. By the time I'd come in the morning, Patsy would have all the sheets off the bed and in the laundry. JonBenet's white blanket would already be in the dryer--a stackable unit in a closet just outside JonBenet's room."

3. Intruder TheoryAlleged theory was that someone broke into the Ramseys' home through the broken basement window. The intruder subdued JonBenét using a stun gun and took her down to the basement. JonBenét was killed and a ransom note was left.

4. Sex Ring
Back in February of 2000, Mary Bienkowski, a licensed marriage, family and child counselor, said she stands behind her client who claims to have crucial information that could help investigators in the death of JonBenét Ramsey.

She said her client gave Boulder police specific names of individuals who are witnesses in the killing of JonBenét as well as ongoing sexual and physical abuse of other children.

"If they do their job and investigate what needs to be investigated, the rest of the pieces will fall into place, and nobody is going to like what they find out," she said. "This person wouldn't be coming forward and risking everything if it were not because she wanted the abuse to stop and wanted to protect other children."

Bienkowski treated her client for for trauma endured as a repeated victim of sexual assault. Because her client had information that a widespread sex ring could have been behind the Dec. 26, 1996, strangulation and beating death of 6-year-old JonBenét, she encouraged the woman to take the information to authorities.

The woman said she knew the Ramseys through the Fleet White family. She said the godfather to her mother is Fleet White Sr. Fleet White Jr. of Boulder and John Ramsey were close friends until the death of JonBenét.

The therapist said one of the reasons she is reluctant to cooperate is because she said the Boulder police broke her trust. When police contacted her, she told them she would not release any information until she had a written release from the client.

Although police knew her client expressed fear of retaliation, Bienkowski said Boulder police risked her client's safety when officers told local police here about her interview in the Ramsey case after a family member reported her missing.

"They may have already compromised the evidence by leaking where she was, who she is," Bienkowski said.

Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner said police investigated the possibility of a pornographic sex ring, but found no evidence to support it.

"It's a pretty big conspiracy she is talking about, involving a lot of people," he said.

Bienkowski also criticized police for focusing on the credibility of her client, saying they should spend more time investigating the list of people her client has turned over. She said the focus should be on justice.

"I don't feel there is truly justice anymore, not for JonBenét and people like her," Bienkowski said.

Allegedly Bienkowski and her informant began being harassed with creepy phone calls.

They weren't the only ones that were harassed. Blood was splashed on Detective Linda Arndt’s front door, a mutilated carcass of a cat was left on Steve Thomas’s front lawn and Sergeant Bob Wilson was at home when four high-powered rounds were fired through his bedroom window and nearly hit him.

Bienkowki's informant claimed that JonBenet was killed in a sadistic sex game. Supposedly the claim was upheld independently by forensic specialist Dr. Cyril Wecht, who studied the autopsy file and concluded that JonBenet’s abuse occurred over a period of time.

Wecht stated, “This evidence of abuse, tied literally and figuratively to the cords around her neck and wrist, was enough to draw the conclusion that a sick sex game had gone awry."

An investigative 2017 report from Radar Online claims that JonBenet Ramsey was “brutally molested, garroted and bashed with a baseball bat” by members of a sex ring. The person is not named in the report, but it claims that they are serving a 32-year sentence in Colorado for other sexual assaults that took place between 1993 and 1996. The man supposedly has a plea bargain that prohibited authorities from testing his DNA.

I did some research and found out that one of the members of the so called sex ring is allegedly Paul Nicholas Shultz. There was claims by his son that he pimped him out to his friends and associates for drug money. That is what his ex-wife claims as well.

Supposedly Shultz was friends with a record producer named Huey Meaux. Huey Meaux, 66, was arrested and appeared in court on January 29th, 1996, on charges of possession of child pornography and cocaine. He was released after posting bonds totaling $110,000. After police went public with the allegations , two people came forward to say they were assaulted. Meaux then was charged additionally with two counts of sexually assaulting children. Police investigators seized hundreds of videotapes and more than 1,000 photographs last week from offices rented by Meaux at Houston’s Sugar Hill Recording Studio. Meaux formerly owned the studio.

Huey was charged with possession of drugs and child pornography and two counts of sexual assault on a child. Two weeks after the arrest, Shannon McDowell Brasher, filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against Meaux, alleging that he had plied her with illegal drugs as a prelude to sexual assault, “exploitation and other perverted and unnatural sex acts.” He also persuaded accomplices to assault her and videotaped the acts, according to Ms Brasher. State District Judge Mark Davidson issued a temporary restraining order sought by Brasher’s attorneys, Dick DeGuerin and Wayne Isgitt. The order prohibited the record producer or others from destroying evidence or retaliating against Brasher.

Shultz ex wife Belinda, said that Meaux participated in a child sex ring, This is substantiated by Brasher and court transcripts. Belinda’s son Nicholas, age six at the time of Meaux’s arrest, identified the accused in a televised news report. Belinda called Bill Colson, a detective with the Pearland Police Department. Colson did not investigate the sex-ring allegation, though he told her that he would contact Houston police to search for a photo of Nicholas among Meaux’s child pornography collection. Belinda contacted Detective A.D. Wright, the officer in charge of the Meaux case, after she wasn't satisfied with Colson's actions or lack there of. Wright confirmed a connection between Meaux and Paul Schultz. There supposedly is telephone records indicating that Schultz and Meaux had made “numerous” calls to one another. Houston police offered that they had a “thick file” on Schultz, linking him to several known pedophiles in Houston.

This brings us to Jerry J. Moore, who is a Houston Real Estate Developer and wealthy republican. Belinda claims that he has a connection to the MAFIA as well.

According to Paul's son, that he pimped out, Moore was on of Paul's confederates in the sex ring. Paul's son allegedly claimed that he accompanied Moore on his private plane to Colorado.

Paul's son also maintains that he was taken to Moore’s antebellum mansion, Nicholstone, not far from Dickerson, Texas, and describes the home as a distribution point for child pornography. The son also said that Meaux was a regular at Moore’s mansion.


One of Moore's "associates" was Leonard Louis Capaldi. Capaldi was convicted of bank fraud stemming from his involvement in the Saving and Loan Crisis. He was sentenced to the Federal Correctional Institute in Milan, Michigan.

Supposed key players in the Saving And Loans Crisis: arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, James Bath (a business associate of George W. Bush, recruited to the CIA by George, Sr,), Martin Schimmer (for walking off with Teamster steelworker pension funds), Herman K. Beebe, a known Mafioso. Another friend of Jerry J. Moore is Jack Tocco, a Detroit crime boss. Political ties have included late Texas Governor John Connally and Lloyd Bentson, former Secretary of the Treasury.

Another participant in this debauchery, according to Paul's son, was Mildred “Tweet” Kimball. Tweet lived in a castle just south of Denver in a small town called Sedalia. Paul's son stated that he was taken to the castle and molested there by adults. 

Tweet's ex husband was Merritt Ruddock, and the immediate deputy of the CIA’s Frank Wisner, the notorious overseer of Nazi recruitment by the agency immediately after WW II.

I don't like posting pictures of people after they have passed, especially little children that have been murdered, but i thought it was relevant in this case. There are other pictures of JonBenet from after she passed in which the hair bow can be seen much better, but i didn't want to show too much of JonBenet.

On the left is the photo of JonBenet after she was found deceased and brought up stairs. On the right is the last known photo of her alive at that Christmas party. She is wearing the same hair bow in both photos.

This is the same photo as above, you can just see more. You can see that JonBenet is lying on the floor drawing. If this is JonBenet's last photo, why isn't she wearing the dress she had wore to the White's Christmas party? Where is her necklace? According to the autopsy report, she was wearing it when she was found. Better yet, why was this photo just released last year?

Who do you think killed JonBenet?
i believe there is more than one person involved.
Why did the killer wait in the house for 45 minutes to 2 hours after she had her head injury?
Her death is estimated to be sometime close after midnight and before 2 am on the 26th. In one in the Paula Woodward interview however, John said that JonBenet was killed on Christmas. Freudian slip?
In a interview Burke did, he stated that JonBenet was awake and had walked into the house. Was he confused or was his parents lying?
Was someone targeting the family? Is that why authorities re-examined Beth's car accident? Was she murdered as well?
I really don't think Burke had anything to do with JonBenet's murder. How could he have kept it a secret. He was only 9 years old at the time. Plus, he was taken to the White's that morning and their house was full of guests. I think he would have let something significant slip by now.
I do think the Ramsey family knows more than they are saying.
Did John and or Patsy kill JonBenet? Or were they framed and were trying to cover up evidence because whoever was framing them was doing a really good job?
And where was the Access Graphics/ Lockheed Martin security team?
Did the strangulation really come after the head trauma? Or was it part of a sexual game that got out of hand?

The JonBenet Chronicles: Chapter 7: The Missing Bear, Interviews And Suspects

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.

Pam also stated that “This man has a dark side.” But she doesn't think that Fleet murdered JonBenet with his own hands. She thinks that he knows something.

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.

One of the things that John was allegedly adamant about Pam retrieving was his golf bag that was located outside the wine cellar door.

Pam thinks JonBenet was killed by someone close to her, but not any of the family. Pam thinks JonBenet was killed by someone who was jealous. She said that she and Patsy have had "intimate, sister-to-sister conversations," which led her to believe Patsy had a suspect in mind of JonBenet's murder.

In photos of JonBenet's room, there was a red-and-white stuffed bear in a Santa suit lying on an adjacent twin bed that has seemed to have gone missing.

On December 27th, 1996, Patsy was exhausted and lying down when she told 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.

After the discovery of the body, Patsy told her friends that “she would never go back in that house again.” In the first days, the Ramseys and the Paugh sisters moved into John and Barbara Fernie’s place in south Boulder. Another friend, Patty Novack, who is a registered nurse, stayed nights with Patsy. “Patsy was completely devastated,” says Novack. “She needed to be taken into the shower and assisted in the bathroom.”

On December 28, with their lawyers present, the Ramseys gave hair and blood samples and were fingerprinted. 

On December 29, the family flew to Marietta, Georgia, in a private jet, piloted by John Ramsey, for JonBenet’s funeral. Among those who went there to comfort the Ramsey family that first week were Fleet and Priscilla White.

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.

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. 

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.

When the police went to interview John's ex-wife Lucinda, John and Patsy were present for the interview.

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?

John told his lawyers and the D.A. that Fleet should be considered a murder suspect.

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"
If you would like to read the letter in it's entirety, it is here https://extras.denverpost.com/news/whiteltr.htm.

The Whites were the first of what the police have come to call “the throwaway friends.” Anyone suspected of the vaguest disloyalty to the Ramseys, the Ramseys would panic and those people soon showed up on a list they gave to the police. Judith Miller and even Barbra Fernie made the list.

“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.'"

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.

Detective Steve Thomas received more than a hundred commendations and awards during his thirteen-year police career, including the Award of Excellence and the Medal for Lifesaving, for assignments ranging from recruit training and SWAT to special investigations and undercover narcotics. Prior to the JonBenet case, Thomas worked on a multi-state task force investigating racketeering and organized crime that resulted in numerous grand-jury indictments. Thomas has been a guest lecturer on criminal justice topics and instructed extensively on law-enforcement issues.

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.

The Stines moved along with the Ramseys to Atlanta after JonBenet's murder.

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 and Janet McReynolds moved to the small town on Cape Cod in 1998 to try to leave the rumors and suspicion behind them. McReynolds left his role of Santa Claus, his wife said and instead, the grandfather of six filled his time helping the elderly at the local senior center.

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.

"He really took the role as his life goal,"
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 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.

Jim Clemente, a former FBI agent and profiler who worked on the Ramsey case, says that the family being so easy exonerated is "absurd." He also stated that in his entire 30 year law enforcement career he has never seen a case in which a DA has issued a letter exonerating somebody, especially based on one type of evidence.

Lou Smit, an experienced detective who had investigated more than 200 homicides, said that had he been the first detective on the scene, he would have brought a dog in. This would have found JonBenet's body in minutes. He also said that he would have separated the Ramseys, asked them to come down to the station to give hair samples and blood samples. He would have also taken their clothes and conducted initial interviews. Smit said that had they refused they would have been arrested. He thinks that all of this would have cleared the Ramsey's of involvement.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.”

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.

In 2010 she went through a hormone-replacement surgery and she currently lives as a woman named Alexis Reich.

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

The JonBenet Chronicles: Chapter 6: The Ransom Note, JonBenet Is Found, Her Autopsy And The Ramsey Stun Gun Manual.

According to statements that Patsy gave to authorities that day, she realized that JonBenet was missing after she found a two-and-a-half page note on the kitchen staircase. The Note demanded $118,000 for her safe return. No fingerprints were found on the note. The note and a practice draft were written with a pen and paper from the Ramsey's home belonging to Patsy.

The pen that was used to write the ransom note was neatly put back in it's place by the phone. Supposedly the ransom note's time element indicates that it was composed around midnight. Take the line "i advise you to be rested." from the ransom note. According to experts, a kidnapper would not normally give such advice to his victims. Why would the kidnappers tell the victims to get rest when they were already supposedly sleeping? And why would the kidnappers care? 

The note never referred to JonBenet by name. Was it too emotionally difficult for the authors of the note to write JonBenet's name?

Investigators surmised that it would have taken 21 minutes just to write the note, plus time to compose and to write the draft version.
The amount of money asked for in the ransom note was kind of small when you consider that John was a CEO for a billion dollar company. The amount of money asked for was the same as the previous bonus that John received from work.

The note is the longest ransom note in history.

Detectives found handwriting samples in the Ramsey 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.

Detectives believe that the note was written by a woman and dictated by someone else. It couldn't be proven that Patsy did or did not write the note.

The only fingerprint was found on the ransom note belonged to a technician that did analysis on it.

John made arrangements to pay the ransom.

A Forensics team was dispatched to the house.

JonBenet's bedroom was on the second floor. It had a porch overlooking the south yard and patio and was closet to the spiral staircase. It was the only room in the house that was cordoned off to prevent contamination of evidence. No process was taken to prevent contamination of evidence in the rest of the house.

i know that it wasn't considered a murder yet, but i would have secured pretty much the whole house. The authorities had no concrete idea how the perpetrators got in and out of the house, there could have been evidence pretty much anywhere. 

The police had removed a small piece of carpet in front of the night table between the matching single beds. To the left of the bed the police had removed two additional pieces of carpet. All of JonBenet's sheets, pillowcases, and bed covers were taken into custody by the police. Fingerprint powder was everywhere.

Meanwhile, friends and the family minister arrived at the home. Victim advocates also arrived at the scene. 

John Fernie, "I drove my car into the -- up the alley and parked in the back of your house, and went around to the patio door, which was a glass door leading into the kitchen and back of the house, and didn't see anybody, but saw a piece of paper laying on the floor. Looked at that. It was facing the other direction. Read it. And after the first few lines realized something very strange was happening. And so I ran around to the front of the house and knocked on the door and was let in."

Visitors picked up and cleaned surfaces in the kitchen, destroying any possible evidence.

After 7:13 a.m., Burke Ramsey was taken to Fleet White's house by Fleet and John Fernie who on the way picked up the Fernie children and took them there as well.

BPD followed standard procedure by putting taps inside the house and at John Ramsey's office 

Boulder detective Linda Ardnt arrived about 8 a.m. MST, with the goal of awaiting the kidnapper's instructions, but there was never any attempt to claim the money.

She was a 14-year veteran of the Boulder department, well-respected as a staunch victim advocate.

Arndt was left by her colleagues at the Ramsey home with JonBenet's parents and family friends in the first hours of the investigation. She asked for more manpower, but most of her colleagues and the FBI were at the police station and wouldn't send anyone. She was used as a scapegoat and shouldered the blame for numerous police errors at the crime scene that day in December 1996.

She remembers his demeanor when he initially greeted her as not distraught or upset but cordial. Ardnt says that John and Patsy did not spend the morning in each other's company. She also said that at 10 a.m., when the deadline from the ransom note passed, that the Ramsey's did not remark whatsoever regarding the fact that the kidnappers did not call. She also asked everyone to examine the ransom note for clues and almost everyone had ideas except for Mr. Ramsey. Ardnt said that she was confused about why the Ramseys wouldn't speak to her.

10:30 a.m., Arndt called for backup at least twice while left in the house alone with the Ramsey family and friends (seven in total), she is told that all officers are in a Boulder Police Department meeting and they received her message. No one was sent because they were short-staffed.

Lockheed Martin didn't send their security team to the scene either. their team handles national security threats involving the company and it's employees. 

Norm Early who had been the district attorney of Denver and was the vice-president of Lockheed Martin Security at the time of the murder of JonBenet stated that their had been not one word of JonBenet's alleged kidnapping.

He said that when he found out he began to call executives and lawyers among others and said,"Why wasn't my family alerted? What happened?"
And they said to him,"Well, there was no threat"
And he said,"How do you know that?"
They said,"Well, I don't know. We just knew".
And he said,"Well, think about it and I want an answer!"

John went missing for at least an hour Some say he left the house to supposedly "pick up the mail." Later it's determined that this could not be true, given the family's mail was delivered through a slot in the front door. Whatever happened, he allegedly was unaccounted for for 90 minutes.

When John came back after going missing, Linda said that John had a very different demeanor. He was very agitated and he it seemed like he didn't want to be talked to at all.

Sometime that morning, Patsy also called her mother in Atlanta. Her mother immediately got on a plane and flew to Boulder.

Mid-morning
Sometime before 1 p.m., Fleet White allegedly was in the windowless wine cellar looking around. He told police he never turned on the light and he never saw anything.

At 1 p.m., Ardnt asked John and family friend, Fleet White, to search the house TOP TO BOTTOM to see if "anything seemed a miss." John and White started the search in the basement. John opened the latched door, the one that investigators failed to open earlier, and found JonBenet's body. Her mouth was covered with duct tape, a nylon cord was found around her wrists and neck, and her torso was covered by a white blanket. John immediately picked up JonBenet's body and ripped the duct tape off her mouth. He then carried her up the stairs to the living room.

He set her on the living room floor next to the Christmas tree.

Some accounts say that John places another blanket on JonBenet before he carried her up the stairs and some say after. Either way, the evidence on the body was now contaminated.

The sticky side of the duct tape had a perfect imprint of JonBenet's lips, but no indication of a protruding tongue or any effort to dislodge the tape. This suggest that the tape was used as a prop in staging a scene like it was place after death.

The cord was tied, far too loosely to restrain a living or conscious child.

The route to the wine cellar would be very difficult to navigate by a stranger, especially at night, especially carrying a child.

The staircase light switch was not in an expected location on the wall, but behind someone entering the stairs, so they probably would have done all this in the dark.

At 1:30 p.m., boulder policemen, Ron Walker and Larry Mason arrive and search the basement and wine cellar for further clues in JonBenet's death. They also finally secure the home, preventing any further arrivals.

Walker was an experienced FBI profiler. He suspected as soon as he saw the ransom note, that Jonbenet was probably going to be found dead. Walker thought that the note seemed like a hoax and that the perpetrators real agenda was murder or a cover up of a murder. He knew that finding JonBenet's body in her own home meant there had probably never been a kidnapping. In the case of a homicide where the dead child is found in the parents' home, the FBI's standard procedure is to investigate the parents and the immediate family first and then move outward in circles.

At 1:40 p.m., John Ramsey called his pilot and is allegedly heard asking him to prepare a plane to Atlanta. Law enforcement instructs the family not to leave town.

At 1:45 p.m., heeding the officer's warning, the Ramseys leave their house with plans to stay the night at the Fernie's home.

At 2:30 p.m., John and Patsy participated in a preliminary interview for more than two hours, and Burke was also interviewed within the first couple of weeks.

SEARCH WARRANT

A footprint was found one foot in front of JonBenet's body, made in concrete dust from a High Tech brand boot.

A Baseball Bat was found on ground north side by Butler Kitchen Door.

The stick used in the ligature strangulation came from one of Patsy's paint brushes.

Part of the rest of the broken paintbrush was found in the basement among Patsy's art supplies.

One of the basement windows was broken, but it had a dusty sill and an unbroken spiderweb in the corner. The window was previously broken by John when he was locked out of the house.

The gardener, Brian Scott, said he was had been in the basement to fix the sprinkler clock. He didn’t know there was a wine cellar. He did recall a broken window at the front of the house. He said he didn't remember a broken window by the grate. 

He also didn't know that he was a suspect until Linda Arndt ask for handwriting, blood, saliva, and hair.

A suit case was found on the floor almost directly underneath the window. The suitcase belonged to John Andrew, John Ramsey's eldest son from a previous marriage.

John Andrew had the guest bedroom in the Ramsey's home, which was close to JonBenet's. The police wanted to question him about his semen being found at the crime scene. The semen was found on a duvet belonging to him, inside the suitcase, which also belonged to John Andrew Ramsey, along with a Dr Seuss book.

He allegedly was in Atlanta when JonBenet was killed.

Joe Barnill said he saw John Andrew at the Ramsey house on the evening of December 25th, 1996.

There was a Swiss army knife found next to where JonBenet's body was discovered. The Swiss army knife belonged to Burke.

The housekeeper, Linda Hoffman-Pugh, said that only Patsy could have put the Swiss army knife by JonBenet's body.

" Only Patsy could have put the knife there. I took it away from Burke and hid it in a linen closet near JonBenet's bedroom. An intruder never would have found it. Patsy would have found it getting out the clean sheets," said Pugh.

According to Hoffman-Pugh, the blanket wrapped around JonBenet had been left in the dryer. There was still a Barbie doll nightgown clinging to the blanket, so it had to have come out of the dryer.

"An intruder would never have found the door to the basement room where JonBenet's body was discovered. It was to difficult to see unless someone knew it was there," Pugh said.

She also claimed that Patsy had bad mood swings, that it's like she had multiple personalities.

Linda lived in Fort Lupton at the time, with her husband, Mervin Pugh, and their then-13-year old daughter, Ariana. They shared a combined family from previous marriages. Linda had five grown children, Mervin four. She was the Ramsey's housekeeper and her husband was their maintenance man.

Fibers found on JonBenet's sheets were consistent with the cord used to tie her wrists and strangle her.

There it was a heavy flashlight sitting on the kitchen counter. Some theorize that this is what JonBenet was struck with.

There was an unidentifiable palm print found on the inside of the cellar door.

JonBenet had been killed by strangulation and a skull fracture. The official cause of death was "asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerabal trauma." 

Craniocerebral Trauma is also known as a traumatic brain injury. It usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. Serious traumatic brain injury can result in bruising, torn tissues, bleeding and other physical damage to the brain. These injuries can result in long-term complications or death.

Moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries can include any of the signs and symptoms of mild injury, as well as these symptoms that may appear within the first hours to days after a head injury:

Physical symptoms
Loss of consciousness from several minutes to hoursPersistent headache or headache that worsensRepeated vomiting or nausea Convulsions or seizures
Dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes
Clear fluids draining from the nose or ears
Inability to awaken from sleep
Weakness or numbness in fingers and toes
Loss of coordination
Cognitive or mental symptoms
Profound confusion
Agitation, combativeness or other unusual behavior
Slurred speech
Coma and other disorders of consciousness

Children's symptoms
Infants and young children with brain injuries might not be able to communicate headaches, sensory problems, confusion and similar symptoms. In a child with traumatic brain injury, you may observe:
Change in eating or nursing habits
Unusual or easy irritability
Persistent crying and inability to be consoled
Change in ability to pay attention
Change in sleep habits
Seizures
Sad or depressed mood
Drowsiness
Loss of interest in favorite toys or activities

Altered consciousness
Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury can result in prolonged or permanent changes in a person's state of consciousness, awareness or responsiveness. Different states of consciousness include:

Coma- A person in a coma is unconscious, unaware of anything and unable to respond to any stimulus. This results from widespread damage to all parts of the brain. After a few days to a few weeks, a person may emerge from a coma or enter a vegetative state.

Vegetative state-Widespread damage to the brain can result in a vegetative state. Although the person is unaware of surroundings, he or she may open his or her eyes, make sounds, respond to reflexes, or move.

It's possible that a vegetative state can become permanent.
Minimally conscious state. A minimally conscious state is a condition of severely altered consciousness but with some signs of self-awareness or awareness of one's environment.

Brain death- When there is no measurable activity in the brain and the brain stem, this is called brain death. Brain death is considered irreversible.

The strangulation came 45 minutes to two hours after the head strike, based on the swelling of the brain. The blow knocked her into a deep unconsciousness, which could have led someone to believe that JonBenet was already dead. While the head wound would have eventually killed her, the strangulation actually did kill her.

Investigators believe that JonBenet was killed close to 10 p.m. Remember JonBenet was struck in the head forty-five minutes to two hours before she was strangled. The Ramsey said that they put JonBenet to bed at 10 p.m.

There was no evidence of conventional rape, although sexual assault could not be ruled out.

A black light helped reveal that her body had been wiped clean, but a residue of blood was left on her thighs. Some people think that Patsy did this with a wipe to JonBenet after a bed wetting accident.

Supposedly, investigators found that JonBenet had plastic sheets on her bed along with a pee stain and the pull up diaper package hanging out of her cabinet. There was also the turtle neck shirt that JonBenet had been wearing that night, balled up in her bathroom.

The underwear that JonBenet was wearing were too large for her. Patsy claimed that she had never seen the underwear, that JonBenet, was wearing before. Detectives had 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.

Before JonBenet’s death, Burke had a tendency to smear feces everywhere he could. Some of it were found in JonBenet’s bedroom.

The blanket that the killer had wrapped around JonBenet had a pubic hair on it that could not be linked to any family member. Also, the blanket that she was wrapped in was her favorite blanket that had been left in the dryer.

Unidentifiable DNA material, "composite from multiple people" was found on her underwear and beneath her fingernails. Her long johns along with her underwear, contained a stain with male DNA, which could not be linked to any family member. Some experts say that the DNA on the long johns and underwear might also be a composite of multiple people jumbled into one profile. If this is true, we are looking for a DNA profile that will never match.

You shed 40,000 skin cells per hour. Wherever you go you are leaving a little part of yourself everywhere. The DNA profile found on JonBenet really inconclusive. It is a very small sample. There is testing suggesting that it is probably a mixture of more than one person. The profile is extremely complex. And there might never be a match, because if it is from multiple people all meshed into one, than the person doesn't exist.


There supposedly is going to be new DNA tests.

The autopsy revealed a "vegetable or fruit material, which may represent pineapple," which JonBenet had eaten a few hours before death.

Photographs of the home taken on the day JonBenet's body was found show a bowl of pineapple on the kitchen table with a spoon in it. John and Patsy both said that they did not remember putting the bowl on the table or feeding pineapple to JonBenet. Police reported that they found Burke's fingerprints on the bowl.

There was a mark on JonBenet's neck and back that looked it it came from a stun gun or Burke's toy train. Burke's train room was in the basement, next to the wine cellar where JonBenet's body was found.

Allegedly a stun gun instructional video was found at the Ramsey home. After attending a Super Bowl game in Miami in 1994, John and Patsy visited a spy store in Coral Gables FL (where security contractor Wackenhut was based until 1995). John was interested in security equipment to protect his company, Access Graphics (a Lockheed Martin subsidiary), from espionage. Before he left, the clerk gave them a video catalog to take him. The family forgot about it until JonBenet's death, when the police searched their house and seized the tapes.

Cathy O'Brien asserts in an interview that the stun gun video was titled "HOW TO CREATE A MIND CONTROL SLAVE USING A STUN GUN", and that she was in that video. 

Fibers found on the duct tape were from the sweater that Patsy had been wearing.
