JonBenét Ramsey was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1990. She participated in many child beauty pageants before her untimely death in 1996.
According to the testimony of her mother Patsy Ramsey, on December 26, 1996, she discovered her daughter missing after finding a two and a half-page ransom note on the kitchen staircase, demanding $118,000 for the safe return of her daughter. Despite specific instructions in the ransom note that police and friends not be contacted, she telephoned the police and called family and friends. The local police conducted a search of the house but did not find any obvious signs of a break-in or forced entry. The note suggested that the ransom collection would be monitored and JonBenét would be returned as soon as the money was obtained.
On the same day, her father John Ramsey and two of his friends searched the house and found JonBenét’s body in the wine cellar. She was covered in a white blanket and had nylon cord around her neck, her wrists tied above her head, and duct tape covering her mouth. The results of the autopsy revealed that JonBenét was killed by strangulation and a skull fracture. A garrote made from a length of tweed cord and the broken handle of a paintbrush had been used to strangle her; her skull had suffered severe blunt trauma; there was no evidence of conventional rape, although sexual assault could not be ruled out. The official cause of death was asphyxiation due to strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma.
In December 2003, forensic investigators extracted enough material from a mixed blood sample found on JonBenét’s underwear to establish a DNA profile. The DNA belonged to an unknown male. On August 16, 2006, 41-year-old John Mark Karr, a former schoolteacher, confessed to the murder, however Karr’s DNA did not match that found on JonBenét Ramsey’s body.
No one knows what really happened to JonBenét Ramsey. Many theories point to her parents being the murderers and covering it up by saying that it was committed by an intruder. Her mother Patsy Ramsey died in 2006. The JonBenét case is still open.
RIP BEAUTIFULL <3
