clear to me that the Ramsey family murdered JonBenet. I think that Burke, her older

There were many mistakes that was done in the Jonbenet case. They did a poor job into protecting the crime scene. The first responder even asked john and the neighbor to look all over the house for anything unusual. That is something you are not supposed to do, them looking around the house led to the body of Jonbenet and destroyed evidence. Former Boulder police chief, Mark Beckner, said that first off the police officers should have shut down the crime scene immediately and taken statements from JonBenet's parents. Since the crime occurred on Christmas Day, Beckner said that there were less people available to get to the scene. It took a long time after the murder, before police managed to conduct interviews with the Ramsey's, who had by

In the year 2010, 26-year-old Kenzie Houk was found murdered in her bed. Kenzie was shot in her head. Kenzie was also eight months pregnant when she was murdered (nydailynews.com). The person who found the body was her 4-year-old daughter. When the police officers arrived at the scene, they searched to see if anybody broke into the house. The police officers were unable to find any force entry. The police officers even thought it was a possibility that Kenzie ex-boyfriend could of committed the murder, but they were unable to connect him to the murder. Eventually, the police officers found out that the murderer was none other then the 11-year-old Jordan Anthony Brown.

It has been almost 21 years since the murder of a little six-year-old girl by the name of JonBenet Ramsey of Boulder Colorado. Her parents were John and Patsy Ramsey. The question remains til this day “Who killed JonBenet?”

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

The Ramsey family has always been big suspects. The death of JonBenet Ramsey has confused the world and remains unsolved.

JonBenét Ramsey was murdered in October of 1996. For the last fifteen years police have tried to solve the case, but have had little success. As such, the suspect remains at-large. Due to the high profile of the case it has received national attention. Many people kept track of findings through the news, social media, and with the publishing of books and film. Speculation about the case still remains a popular topic in various genres for the public and other interested parties. The way the case was handled by authorities, the high profile of the Ramsey family, and the lack of cooperation in the form of initial formal interviews by the Ramsey family, all contributed to the lack of progress and the unsuccessful solving of the case.

A North Charleston man is charged with murder in an Easter shooting that left a 20-year-old woman dead. Local media outlets report that 29-year-old Davey Allen Ramsey is also charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Ramsey is in jail.

JonBenet Ramsey was an interesting case, she was a child beauty queen that was murdered in her house late at night in Colorado in 1996. Her father, John Ramsey, later found her body in the basement along with a ridiculously long ransom note 8 hours after she was reported to be missing. Her autopsy revealed that she was strangled and got hit in the head, which was estimated as her cause of death. Back to the ransom note, it was sitting on the kitchen table in the Ramsey house and demanded a whopping $118,000. The note was very detailed and the ransom itself demanded for $118,000, the exact amount of money that John Ramsey received as a bonus that year, raising even more suspicions about the Ramseys. Suspicions that the parents and brother

My group has more than two reality documents, we used for our investigation. The websites we used were google and cbs news. These websites were used to find information and other data. Me and my group believe the story about Jonbenet is reality. My story is reality, but it has also become a myth. The reason it has becoming a myth is because “an absence of footprints in snow on the Ramsey’s driveway outside a basement window at their home contradicts the intruder killer theory. Photographs taken the day JonBenét’s body was found show someone could have easily walked on dry concrete to basement windows without stepping in snow, former Ramsey case consultant” Lou Smit said. Another myth that has caught people’s eye is the “Handwriting experts

December 26, 1996 six year old JonBenét Patrica Ramsey had been assumed kidnapped from her home in Boulder, Colorado, only to be found murdered in the family 's cellar. This investigation had lead to many wild speculations and theories of the murder suspect(s), by pursuing facts and analytical knowledge can a strong argument be presented. The integrity of the Ramsey case is often challenged due to the Boulder Police tampering of crime scene and the District Attorney dismissal of charges. Media coverage and various testimonies have challenged the family 's narrative; constant tampering continues to prevent reasonably grounded conclusions. There is also a risk in this case of generalization with any investigation to discredit any evidence, and assumption of guilt or innocence before information is retrieved only work to depict a caricature of the events that have taken place. Only the analytical data can be presented in respect of the truth, through a time line of events during the case starting with the night of the murder.

Boulder County coroner ruled Ramsey’s cause of death as asphyxia due to strangulation. The detectives examined her body for evidence such as, semen, blood and saliva. They also took DNA samples and handwriting samples from the Ramsey family and the families’ friends. The detectives who worked on the case started following up on leads. In the worldwide news, statements were reported such as, JonBenet was found to be sexually assaulted, and the security system at the house was not working at the time. It was later founded that a lot of the Ramsey statements about the ransom note was fabricated. To this very day, this case has yet to be solved. So it has now been considered as a C old case.

If I were the Lead investigator in the case Of JonBen`et Ramsey I would have some serious issues with the first responding Officer. This case may have been closed and shut but due to many errors made by my staff, the department could be perceived as incompetent. The author Saferstein (2014) promulgates the steps officers should take to effectively process a crime scene in Chapter 2 entitled the Crime Scene. The first and most important mistake officers made was not securing the crime scene. No one currently present at the crime scene should be allowed to enter or leave without authorization. All person present should have been secluded to a secure area when they were not allowed to contaminate the crime scene furthers the first responding officer
