Specifically, many people believe Burke Ramsey was responsible for the murder of JonBenet and the Ramsey parents covered it up. This essay will highlight the evidence behind their alleged involvement.
To understand how the Ramseys allegedly killed JonBenet, it's important to know what happened to her and the hours leading up to her disappearance.

He had a history of hurting his sister, He is said to have been quite jealous of JonBennet because of the attention she was given by their mother. The Rasmey's housekeeper claimed, “There had been several unpleasant incidents between the siblings." Family friend Judith Phillips claimed Burke had hit his little sister in the face with a golf club about a year before her murder, with Mrs. Ramsey telling her "things got out of hand" (Renoylds Emma).

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.

In an interview conducted by Jim Clemente and Laura Richards, Judith Phillips, a friend of the Ramsey family at the time, says that “Burke had a bad temper, like he had a chip on his shoulder. He had hit Jonbenét” (Phillips – family friend). Burke Ramsey had hit Jonbenét Ramsey with the gold club roughly a year and a half before the murder, according to Phillips. This proves that Burke Ramsey was more likely to hit Jonbenét again, due to past behavior. When the Ramsey came home after a Christmas dinner, Pasty Ramsey had made a bowl of pineapple and milk, alongside a cup of tea, for Burke as a snack.

Due to the circumstances of her discovery, some investigators suspect Burke may have hit his sister with the flashlight and then used his toy train to try and poke to see if she was conscious. The marks from the toy train matched up with JonBenet’s inflicted wounds on her skin. However, DNA has not been matched with anyone! It is interesting that the murderer would not bring his/her own weapon instead of using an item that was in the Ramsey house.
