Young. Pretty. Innocent. Dead. Four words that describe a little girl that was tragically murdered by an unknown individual. JonBenet Ramsey was a 5-year-old beauty queen with a big personality who lived in Boulder, Colorado. She was murdered a day after Christmas in 1996.

Equally important, Karr confessed that he was not an innocent man (Montagne). These three suspects could just have coincidental relations to JonBenet’s murder or they could have some involvement in her
