Jonbenet Ramsey Research Paper

JonBenet Ramsey is the daughter of Patricia (Patsy) and John Ramsey. Patricia was a formal beauty queen and John was a multi-millionaire businessman. Jonbenet was just a normal six year old little girl who was born on August 6, 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia. Even though she was young she enjoyed doing many things. Some things she enjoyed doing was playing with her friends, riding her bike, and attending High Peaks Elementary school where she was a kindergartner (“JonBenét Ramsey Biography.com”). The only privilege she had that some little girls did not was that she did beauty pageants. According to Oliver, even though JonBenet did not want to do beauty pageants all the time, her mother pushed her to do them. Her mother pushed her to do them because

According to John and Mark Douglas, the note was kind of long and the person who wrote the note had to write it before the murder happened since the note was so bizarre. The note was written in the Ramsey’s home inside one of their notepads. The marker that was used to write the note, was the same marker that was found in the home not far from the notepad that had pages missing. The handwriting on the note matched Patsy’s handwriting. Since, it matches her handwriting she could have been the one to write the note. Jonbenet did not eat the morning she was murdered, therefore she should have nothing in her stomach. But, according to StevenPritt a forensic psychiatrist who was working on this case said that Jonbenet had “fragmante of pineapple” inside of her stomach. That statement was inside of her autopsy, but her parents said she did not eat anything before bed (Norsworthy). Therefore, that was a lie. There was also evidence with Burke’s fingerprints on a bowl of pineapples that where left on the dining room table. From his fingerprints being on that bowl he could have murdered his sister.
