JonBenet Ramsey Annotated Bibliography Several huge and important celebrities have had mysterious deaths. What happened? Was it an accident? Did someone kill them? If so, who killed them? These are all important questions to think of when thinking of such a death. I researched JonBenet Ramsey, a beauty pageant queen, whom was gorgeous, talented, and young. December 26, 1996, she was found murdered in the basement of her own home. The cause of death was suffocation. According to police reports, “ JonBenet was found in the small room covered with a blanket, her wrists were tied above her head, her mouth was covered with tape, and a nylon cord was wrapped around her neck”. There were also signs of sexual assault before she had been murdered. In fact, that there was a possibility of her having been sexually assaulted more than just right before her death. The prime suspects for the case were, of course, her parents. A note was left behind prior to the finding of the body, stated that if the Ramsey’s wanted to see their daughter again that they would have to attain $ 1118,000 from Mr. Ramsey’s account. This note was obviously not honored , asbecause JonBenet’s body was found around 30 minutes after the note was left. …show more content…
However, on August 17, 2006, an article stating that a man named, John Mark Karr, was responsiblerealized. He had admitted to the murder of JonBenet. This seemed strange to his wife, whom had sworn that the time of JonBenet’s murder he was with his family. He had said that him and JonBenet had been in love and that her murder was an accident. Later, evidence was found proving the innocence of John Karr through DNA data collected of JonBenet’s body. He’s still in custody however, due to the fact that he has been in possessionposition of child

An unexpected murder with unexplained evidence all surrounding a 6 year old pageant queen named JonBenet all happening on the day after Christmas. Although there are many theories about JonBenet, evidence shows that it was most likely her brother. Jonbenet Ramsey was a beauty pageant queen that was found dead on the day after Christmas in a storage room in her basement of her house in Boulder Colorado. Jonbenet was born on August 6, 1990 in Atlanta Georgia, and was only 6 years old when she was found dead. There was a ransom note left on the stairs addressed to the dad and when her mom woke up and came down stairs she found it and it was asking for the exact amount of money of the bonus that the dad got earlier that year.
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.
JonBenet Ramsey was a six year-old pageant star, who was murdered on December 26, 1996. She was found dead in her basement, by her father John Bennett Ramsey. Investigators were able to determine the cause of death, but not who killed her. It has been over twenty years now, and the crime is still unsolved.
When finding his daughter, he went directly to the basement of his home (Rolling Stone). This was an odd place for him to go first because it was rarely used. Once he found his daughter’s body, he moved it, removed the duct tape on her mouth, and covered her with a blanket, even though he had been ordered to leave everything as he found it (Rolling Stone). This destroyed physical evidence. Besides this, John was alone when he discovered the crime scene, so there is nobody else to confirm or deny what happened upon finding her. Local police found no sign of forced entry, further pointing blame towards someone who was already in the home (Crimefeed). A few things in the note tie evidence to John Ramsey, as well. For one, the money demanded for ransom was $118,000. That is a strange amount to ask for, especially seeing as it was the exact amount John received for a Christmas bonus (Statement Analysis). Why would a killer have that number on their mind while writing a ransom note? The note also gives the Ramsey’s a 10 a.m. deadline before the kidnappers were to kill JonBenét, but John and his wife let the deadline pass without alerting authorities (Rolling Stone). There were also several computer terms in the note, such as ‘monitor’ and ‘scanned’ in the note. This is likely a coincidence, but John Ramsey was president of a computer company at the time of the murder (Statement Analysis). Later, a detective heard John on the phone making plans to fly his family to Atlanta. At first it seemed as if John were running from the police, but it was later determined that he had been advised to take his family and get out of Colorado, so they wanted to go back to their old home of Atlanta (Rolling Stone). Although he was not avoiding the cops then, he did on June 24, 1998, when he agreed to talk to attorneys as long as there were no cops present (Crimefeed). There

Van der Sloot was released without charge on December 7, due to lack of evidence implicating him. No further appeals were sought out (Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, 2015). Prosecutor Hans Mos declared the case closed and no charges would be filed due to lack of evidence. Even though the case was closed the prosecution continued an interest in the Kalpoe's and Joran van der Sloot. The interest remained due to an alleged chat room message, where one of the three had stated that Holloway was dead. This was contested by Deepak Kalpoe's attorney, who stated that the prosecution, had misconstrued a reference to a teacher who had drowned as one to Holloway. Attorney Ronald Wix also stated, "Unless (Mos) finds a body in the bathroom of one of these kids, there's no way in hell they can arrest them anymore (Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,
