Jon Ramsey Research Paper

Jonbenet Ramsey’s body was found on December 26, 1996. Her family was essentially the American Dream. Jonbenet was a toddler beauty queen; she was following in the steps of her mother (Patsy Ramsey) who was Miss West Virginia in 1977. Her father (John Ramsey) was President and Chief Executive Officer of Access Graphics, they were pretty rich. Jonbenet also had a brother named Burke Ramsey who was nine at the time of the murder, and who now lives in Charlevoix, MI.

For example, they found cut up pineapples with Burke's fingerprints on it. On the autopsy performed on JonBenet, it showed that she has previously eaten pineapples before the time of her death. Burke, JonBenet's brother, claims he never even came near pineapple. Another piece of evidence that was found was blood on JonBenet's underwear. A DNA sample of the blood was extracted and tested.

JonBenét Ramsey was a six year old girl from Boulder, Colorado. She lived in her home with her mother Patsy, father John, and brother Burke. JonBenét was known for her beautiful smile and success in beauty pageants, after following in her mother's footsteps in pageantry. This little girl’s sparkly, fun life took a turn on December 26th, 1996 when she was murdered in her home. Patsy Ramsey awoke around 5:30 am to begin her morning with coffee.

December 26, 1996, Boulder Colorado, the day after Christmas, six-year JonBenet Ramsey is found dead in her basement with a three-page handwritten ransom note demanding $118,000, from someone claiming they kidnapped JonBenet and they would receive a call the next morning at at 10am, the note was addressed to John Ramsey and asked for the exact amount of John's Christmas bonus that year (Casarez). She died of a skull fracture and strangulation and nobody knows who killed her; her mom parents, John and Patricia Ramsey, were under much suspicion for her murder and to some people still are today. JonBenet had a big brother named Burke, and he’s one of the most suspected people; he was only 9 years old at the time of her death so it’s very unlikely he killed his little sister. Burke stayed quiet about her death for a long time but 20 years later in 2016 he spoke for the first time to CBS.

Blog Post 3 Today I read and watched “JonBenet Ramsey's Brother Breaks Silence 20 Years After Her Murder.” By ENJOLI FRANCIS.This article was mainly focused on JonBenet's older brother as the main suspect in the case. The article included an interview with Burke Ramsey, which was his first time speaking publicly about JonBenet’s death. The interview was recorded in 2016, 20 years after the murder of JonBenet.

The death of Jonbenet became national news worldwide and so did the investigation. Lots of questions and assumptions were investigated but her killer was never found. Jonbenet Ramsey “was a 6-year old beauty queen who was found murdered in her parents’ Boulder, Colorado home on December 26, 1996”(biography.com). JonBenet’s mother was a beauty pageant queens as well. “Ramsey won her first competition in 1994 at just four years old at the Colorado State All-Star Kids Pageant.

Before the advancements in science and DNA discovery, there have been many men and woman executed for a crime he/ she did not commite. After DNA was discovered there have been cases where DNA has exonerated date row inmates. If DNA wasn't discovered many men and women would have been executed and if DNA testing was available earlier it would have easily proven that Cameron Todd Willingham, Corsicana, Texas was innocent.

Burke Ramsey was a nine-year-old at the time of this murder happening. There were many theories that Burke possibly was jealous of how his family would treat JonBenét so much better than him and them giving her more attention, so maybe he wanted to kill his sister, and his parents helped him hide it. " According to an old family friend of the Ramseys, Burke was easily angry and had struck JonBenet with a golf club after getting mad, leaving her with a scar on her face (CBS Real Crime). This behavior shows that Burke was capable of being fatally violent with JonBenet. Burke’s response to questions in his investigative interview are very odd, and they do not show any feelings of a typical child.

JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in her home December 24, 1996. Although police found a ransom note demanding $118,000, the money would never be necessary, because JonBenet’s body was found under a blanket in the basement that afternoon. Evidence was not preserved correctly with moving her body. There were no signs of forced entree and the ransom note left was suspicious matching the family's bonus.

Burke was said to have gotten up to get a bowl of pineapple the night of the murder. JonBenet then took a piece, which was found partially digested in her dead body after being examined. She was also found to have a fracture in her skull. It is believed that out of rage from JonBenet stealing this piece of pineapple, Burke lashed out at her and chucked a flashlight at her head, greatly fracturing her skull. She was found dead in a hidden room in the basement.

She was strangled with a garrote and she was also sexually assaulted. She died from all of these terrible things, but ultimately died from the blow to the head. JonBenet did not drink or eat anything that was poisoned, she died from abuse. They may have tried to cover it up as an accident and a break in so it would throw off the police. The death of Jon

On May 23, 1991, the victim, a social service worker, was found dead near her upstate New York farmhouse. According to Medical examiners she had been choked, stabbed, and beaten to death.

A bone­chilling, mystery, murder took place in a peaceful/small town in Boulder, Colorado, taken place on Christmas night shook the nation. Beauty queen, pageant winner, adorable, innocent JonBenet Ramsey was killed in the family home on the night of December 25th, 1996. Jonbenet was found with a device around her neck that straggled her, stun gun marks on her left side of her body, hands tied above her head, and tape over her mouth. Later autopsies found that the girl was bashed over her head leaving an 8 ½ inch fracture. Then found later on that Jonbenet was sexually assaulted.

When I looked at the handwriting of the ransom note and the handwriting of Patsy, there are some similarities, within the letters. Any individual can make their handwriting look sloppy, but there will always be similarities. I believe Patsy could have been irritated by something that JonBent could have possibly done, which caused Patsy to hit JonBent with a forceful object that could have caused serious brain damage. Instead of taking JonBent to the hospital she decide to stage a crime sense of a kidnap and murder instead. If Patsy did murder her daughter she got away with the

JonBenét (the youngest of 2 children)followed in her mother’s footsteps and became a 6 year-old beauty queen. She won many titles in pageants such as: Little Miss Colorado, Little Miss Charlevoix, and America’s Royale Miss. Since her family was very wealthy she lived in a
