Immediately after reading it Patricia Ramsey called the police reporting JonBenet as missing. The police arrived at their house and less than 8 hours later her body was found in the basement of their Colorado home. The suspects of this horrendous crime are John Ramsey, Patricia Ramsey, and her 9-year old brother Durke Ramsey.

Over the next four years, officers with the Boulder Police Department worked diligently investigating the murder case, but were unable to come forward with definitive evidence on a particular suspect.
