Based on my research, I have come a conclusion that Burke, John, and Patsy Ramsey played apart in JonBenet’s murder. Burke Ramsey, JonBenet’s brother who was inside the residence after returning home with his parents from Christmas dinner with friends, may have accidentally knocked his sister JonBenet Ramsey unconscious over the head with a flashlight during a feud over a bowl of pineapples. (Augenstein, 2016) Burke was not asleep upon returning home as John and Patsy reported to the Boulder’s Detectives. Boulder’s Detectives noticed in the kitchen during their investigation a flashlight on the counter top possibly a weapon used to strike JonBenet in the head. According to the autopsy, JonBenet received a fracture to the skull from a blunt …show more content…

Brother Bucke was already jealous of JonBenet because she was receiving all the attention from both parents. For Christmas in 1996, JonBenet received the best present for Christmas. However, according to John and Patsy Ramsey in during an interview with Boulder’s Detectives, Burke was asleep the entire time after Patsy observing the ransom note indicating JonBenet Ramsey had been kidnapped by a foreign group of individuals. (Boulder New, 1999) During the 911 call Patsy Ramsey made to Boulder’s Police Department dispatcher Kim Archuletta; nonetheless, she could hear a child’s voice in the background while speaking with Patsy. (McClish, 2016) Boulder’s Detectives listened to the 911 recording and heard a child’s voice in the background as well, which they could have easily exposed the 911 tape, but somehow it never came into evidence. (McClish, 2016) A voiceprint analysis unit who transform speech into visual display called voice print could have been used to determine which child's voice was overheard in the background from the 911 call.

Burke states "For the last 20 years, I wanted to grow up like a normal kid, which does not include going in front of TV cameras.” I, myself find it ironic that Burke was never publicly interviewed until he was grown and officially ruled out as a potential suspect. I believe it is clear that JonBenet’s older brother was an aspect of his sisters' murder or at least knew exactly what happened the night of the murder. However, his parents tried to protect him as a young child by not allowing their son to be interviewed in the event that he would slip up and say something that could put the whole family under investigation. The article and interview used pathos by appealing to the viewer's emotions as Burke Ramsey was explaining and revisiting the thoughts of his sister's death.

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. There was evidence of fibers found on the duct tape used to bind the child which were consistent with fibers found on Patsy Ramsey’s clothing. Also the ransom note was written on the same paper which was owned by the Ramsey family. This caused the Ramsey family to be the prime suspects of the murder of Jonbenet, and it crucified their reputation in the eyes of the public (Biography.com, 2016).

When John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White went around the area to see if JonBenet was hiding somewhere, the first place John went was straight to the basement. Which just so happened to be where JonBenet’s body was found, so that right there raised a huge red flag. The reason for that was because by the time Mr. Ramsey had gone downstairs to the basement, it had been a few hours from when everything had started and mysteriously he knew exactly where she would be in the basement? The biggest part of it all was after Mr. Ramsey had found JonBenet, instead of calling for the detectives who were all over his home; he immediately picked JonBenet off the ground and took the duct tape off her mouth. After John Ramsey touched JonBenet, that entire murder scene was now tampered with which makes anything that was found inaccurate seeing how there is now other fingerprints on the body.
