Based on the research of the twenty-year-old unsolved mystery of who killed six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey one or more persons in the Ramseys’ family committed the crime. JonBenet murder continues to grab headlines and troubling questions still arise in her murder. In addition, there have been accruing opinions and questions in response to which member of the Ramsey family murdered JonBenet. The parents had a wonderful Christmas with their families and friends, but the narrative becomes a mystery once they arrived at home that night. It was also said the police officers who arrived noted there was no signs of a break-in. As I watched the documentaries in honor of JonBenet I needed to observe the entire days event leading to JonBenet kidnapping. …show more content…

I believed the scene was staged, to make it look like a kidnapping gone wrong, and a coverup as to who murdered JonBenet. Exonerating all theories including the suspicion of an intruder entering the broken basement window is unlikely, there was nothing disturbed on either side of the window. However, there was a smear under the window that also could have been caused by Mr. Ramsey in the summer. It had snowed previously and there was no evidence of snow or melted snow near the basement window. In addition, if there was an intruder the floor should have been wet and dirty. Not able to prevent tracking water inside the home there should have been a dirty wet footprint near the window. In a documentary, John Ramsey said when he discovered his daughter lifeless on the ground with her eyes clothes he knew she had passed. The fact of the matter is if he had the suspicion she was unresponsive why did he proceed to contaminate the crime scene. He proceeded to contaminate the body because he had the opportunity to contaminate the body without any witness present. The friend Mr. Fleet who searched for the missing girl with John, Fleet first instinct was to notify everyone leaving John alone with the

One theory was that Patsy had possibly lost her temper with JonBenet, while frustrated at her for wetting the bed, and she may have struck her daughter and caused her to hit her head. After realizing JonBenet was injured Pasty may have tried to cover it up by staging the body to look like she had been kidnapped and murdered. Authorities shifted the focus of their investigation on the parents rather than an intruder yet John and Patsy continued to proclaim their innocence. On January 1, 1997, the day after JonBenet was buried, the Ramsey’s agreed to an interview on CNN, with Brian Cabell.

When she arrived at the scene, she noted the unusual actions John did and eventually told him to search for anything suspicious. Right away, John made a beeline to the basement, a rarely used place in the Ramsey home. Furthermore, although Arndt ordered John not to touch anything and leave the evidence where it was found, Ramsey picked up his child, took off her duct tape, and covered her in a blanket; destroying vital evidence. Quickly, theories spread about and concluded that John sexually abused JonBenét, explaining the autopsy report that a small tissue from her hymen contained erosion and the blood on her underwear. Overall, although theories on John Bennett are not proved, circulations are still in the air and he is still a prime suspect to the

The note was written by someone who claimed to have kidnapped their daughter. Since it was the day after Christmas, Bolder Police Force was understaffed. The mistakes that these police officers made is the main reason why JonBenet’s murder is unsolved. Law enforcement and friends drifted in and out of the home all day. John Ramsey says Linda Arndt, one of the main detectives, told him to search the home from top to bottom to see if there was anything suspicious.

The police investigation began instantly as a child abduction case, but soon took a turn for the worse when Jonbenet’s father, John Ramsey found her dead in the basement of her own house. “She was lying on the cold cement floor of the wine cellar with blood and bruises on her head, and a cord around her neck” (Agrawal). Immediately the child abduction case turned into that of a cold blooded murder. “The police should have done a better job controlling the crime scene from the begining” (Adams). With John Ramsey picking up his daughter’s dead body, and family friends walking around the house all morning, the chances of finding any evidence within the house was diminished.

’s murder. It is speculated that perhaps a burglar broke into the Ramsey home and took an unfortunate casualty, the Ramsey’s beauty queen. “The crime scene wasn’t sealed off properly after authorities arrived at the Ramseys’ home, and unauthorized individuals were able to enter and leave the house before the initial investigation was complete, resulting to evidence being compromised” (Solin). Going along with the idea in mind that the Ramseys were big entertainers, various workers had easy access to the home of JonBenet Ramsey and could have possibly let themselves in to perform the crime. These assumptions are weeded out by studies done that once again prove a forced entry to be out of the

For example, when the police were first called, the Ramsey’s had also invited other family members and pastors into their home, tainting any potential evidence and destroying any kind of theory of how the crime scene came to be within their home. In the ebook “Crimes and Trials of the Century” states, “... many members of the Ramsey’s circle of friends..., were welcomed by Patsy..., making it difficult to keep track of all the individuals, much less control the crime scene and protect potential evidence” (Bailey and Chermak). The Ramsey’s daughter has just gone missing and the fact that the Ramsey’s despite denying being involved in her kidnapping/murder are tainting a crime scene and potentially spreading ideas about the crime to people outside the case seems questionable. Another example, Mr. Ramsey (JonBenét's father) further tainted the crime scene by moving JonBenét’s body. In the book “Crimes of the Centuries: Notorious Crimes, Criminals, and Criminal Trials in American History” the part of the book covering JonBenét’s case says that JonBenét was tied up and covered in a blanket, her father picked her up and moved her from where she was found (Cudmore).

One of very first mistakes the Department made was that they did not search the house very thoroughly, nor did put the house on secure the home and the evidence within the home after the first arrived on the sense. The Police department should have made sure that nobody enter the home, nor left the Ramsey home, before they had the opportunity to search it, and question everyone in the home at the time of the event. With no doubt if the police would have searched the house when they first arrived on the sense, they would have found JonBenet in the cellar of the basement in the Ramsey home wrapped in a blanket. Allowing John Ramsey and a close friend to search the house for missing house hold items, and that allowed him to find his deceased daughter. The Bounder Police Department also allowed family and friends to enter the home,
