Argumentative Essay: The Murder Of Patsy Ramsey

Investigators suspect that the murder was unintentional. The killer supposedly had intimate knowledge of the house. The most enticing theory is that Jonbonets father John Ramsey and Jonbonets mother Patricia Ramsey committed the crime. The theory is that Patricia caught John sexually assaulting their daughter and when trying to hit him over the head with a flashlight she accidently hit Jonbenet instead this would explain why the couple would need to lie for each other and try to cover up the murder together. There has been assumption that Jonbenet was killed in the basement. Her body was very clearly moved. She had been placed in her favorite blanket in a dryer that was near her room. This shows the love that the killer had for her. She had to have been lifted by a strong adult and placed in the most obscure part of the

especially John and Patsy Ramsey. It was obvious to me that they were involved but the

This horrible event led to making the ransom note, and in a handwriting examination, we found that the note could have been easily written by Patsy. In which Patsy said she “found” a two-and-a-half page ransom note near the spiral staircase that led to the basement, where JonBenét’s body would eventually be found. The ransom note was written in interesting way that it would seem to appear in one of those classic crime films. The ransom note demanded $118,000 to be given to a "foreign faction" by 10 a.m. the next day, which was later found out to be the same amount of John Ramsey’s Christmas bonus from his company. That is why when the police arrived and made John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White to search the house for anything unordinary, John made it straight to the basement cellar where he immediately “found” his deceased child. Even though he'd been told to leave everything where he'd found it, he decided to pick her up, carried her body upstairs, removed a piece tape from the child’s mouth and placed her down. He even covered her up with a throw blanket, further destroying vital physical evidence. This would be on purpose if they tend to cover up their tracks. That is when Arndt, the police to first arrive at the crime

For fans of the Netflix documentary, Making a Murderer, Brendan Dassey’s recent ordered release from prison may come as good news.

Patsy Kelly Jarrett was a young woman back in 1973 who lived in North Carolina. She had a car and a job and many friends, she was just an average teenager who took a road trip with one of her guy friends to New York one break. During this trip they stay in New York where she relaxed, and her friend took a job and used her car to make money. Eventually the break was over, and they came back home to North Carolina and then about three weeks later she hears a knock on her door and it was the police. She was told there was a warrant out for her arrest for murder out of New York.

In the light of, there was no sign of a forced entry. There were a few feet of snow the day of the murder and there were not any foot prints found in the snow that day outside of the house (Dr. Jantz, 2016). Somewhere outside of the house footprints would and should have been found if there was an intruder. In time, if it was a break in there would have been something found around the house to show that there was an intruder. In the many times the house had been inspected there were no signs of a forced entry anywhere to be found around the house (Dr. Jantz, 2016). It could not have been someone trying to break in but, someone that was let in the house or already inside. Not to mention, an intruder kidnapping or murdering a child would not stay in the house longer than needed. A “ransom note” was found by “Patsy Ramsey on the same day of the murder” the note was “two and a half pages long” (Dr. Jantz, 2016). To write a two-and-a-half-page paper demanding ransom would have at least taken forty-five minutes to a couple of hours. In addition, a fracture in JonBenet’s skull was found during her autopsy. The “fracture” was said to be caused by a “hit” over the “head” by possibly a “bat” or “flashlight” (Dr. Jantz, 2016). A nine-year-old is old enough and powerful enough to swing a bat or flashlight fracturing someone’s skull. Equally important, how JonBenet was found and what caused the death is

Bobby Jamison and his father, Bob Jamison were the co-owners of a store and Bobby owed his father some money, but he hadn’t paid it, so investigators of the case think that Bobby could have murdered the family. Bob had also threatened to kill Bobby’s family multiple times. (Swancer, n.p.) Another suspect was a white supremacists who was living with the Jamison’s. One time the man was insulting a woman, so Sherilyn made him get off of her property. Police questioned him as a suspect for that reason. (Swancer, n.p.) Both Bobby and Sherilyn went through deep depression and it has been said that Sherilyn could have killed herself along with her husband and daughter. Nearly an 11-page hateful letter was found in the truck of the Jamison’s. The letter was written by Sherilyn and that’s why investigators believe it could have been a murder-suicide. Another theory of the disappearance of the Jamison’s has been said that the Jamison’s were involved in witch craft. The Jamison’s said that their house was haunted and that they were involved in spiritual warfare. Police found a strange message inside of the Jamison’s house, but they never could figure out who wrote it. Police also found a witch’s bible that belonged to Sherilyn. The mother of sherilyn said that Sherilyn was part of a cult and that she was one of the ones who was put on the list to get killed. (Swancer, n.p.) The last theory that I found about the Jamison’s disappearance was that being involved with drugs could

While the media and police made accusations towards JonBenet’s parents for her death, JonBenet’s parents were fighting to prove they were innocent through forensic evidence. The move from Atlanta, Georgia to Boulder, Colorado was meant to be a positive beginning for the Ramsey family, instead this move became a tragic nightmare for the Ramsey’s. In 1991, on Thanksgiving Day the Ramsey’s after a year of searching for a home in Boulder, CO., they were finally moving into a fixer upper. They had two children at the time of their move JonBenet who was one at the time and Burke who was three at the time also. With the move came a lot of changes

There are some key facts that are surrounding the murder case of JonBenet Ramsey, who was 7 years old at the time she was murdered. She was found murdered between the 25th and the 26th day of December 1996. The body of JonBenet had both lethal head injuries as well as blood located in the crotch area as well as in her crotch area of her underwear. The DNA sample had indicated that she was sexually assaulted by a male assailant. The testing consisted of methodology including modern advances in science. The police department profiled anyone who had any dealings with the family. The Boulder, Colorado police used new methods in trying to gather new evidence in JonBenet’s murder, but to no avail. The District Attorney’s office of Boulder does not suspect John Ramsey, nor any members of his

This reason was because she always got upset and JonBenet when she wetted her bed. Another reason is because it is said that sometimes Patsy Ramsey would flip a switch in a room, and slam JonBenet’s head against a hard surface. Sometimes including a bathtub or a headboard. Some investigators also think that Patsy could have killed her daughter because the rope around JonBenet’s neck was made by a homemade garrote determined to have been fashioned out of a paintbrush taken from Patsy’s paint kit that laid near JonBenet when she was found. A very big possibility is that the letter left on the staircase steps could have been from Patsy after realizing that she had killed JonBenet. When investigators looked around for possible evidence they found that the pen that had been used to write the note was from inside the house. (Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey? 8 Possible

On Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. James L. Wilkins, 41, was shot and killed during an argument over a $5 debt that the suspect said Wilkins owed him. When Wilkins said, he did not owe the suspect any money, the suspect shot Wilkins two times with a pistol, according to witnesses. The incident occurred at 107 S. Second Street in front of the home of Wilkins and his daughter. The witnesses told police they did not know who the suspect was.

He was checking in on her to make sure she was ok. He went to her room to check but when he walked, he didn’t find her. He went downstairs to see if she was down there and she wasn’t. He went outside and found her trying to kill herself. He took her down from hanging on the rope and took her inside. He found a knife in her pocket and was thinking that she was going to kill herself if the rope didn’t kill her. She was calming down and followed him to see where he put the knife, and she took it. When he went to sleep, she came into his room and killed while he was in the

Before John found his daughter's dead body, his wife, Patsy Ramsey, stumbled across a three-page ransom note on the stairs of their mansion. The ransom note stated that 180,000 dollars should be dropped off at a certain location in exchange for their JonBenet’s return. There is no proof that JonBenet ever left her house and why would someone spend all that time writing a note if they did not take JonBenet? No one knows why, but a handwriting

But the Ramsey were the suspects for more than a decade. Paragraph 2: Conspiracy theorists believes bizarre idea that Katy Perry is Jonbenet Ramsey, in a recently YouTube video from December 2014, Dave Johnson the YouTube user that bolster his claim, including the fact that Jonbenet’s parents, look remarkably similar to Perry’s own parents, pastors Keith Hudson and Mary Perry. Another theorist with the YouTube username Jungle Surfer also pointed to the fact that Perry and Jonbenet look alike, right down to their similar eyebrows. Paragraph 3: “The Case: of Jonbenet Ramsey’’

Misinterpretation Many female serial killers use covert methods of death, and because of this their crimes are initially misclassified as something other than the homicide that it is (Farrell et al, 2011, p. 245). When a murder is labeled incorrectly, such as being ruled natural, than investigation may cease and evidence could be lost. The longer it takes for them to restart investigation the more likely it is that evidence will have been destroyed or gone missing. That is, if they ever find reason to change their opinion and reopen the case. Female serial killers may be underrepresented for this reason, people do not know that those dead are actually victims and there is a murderer on the loose.
