JONBENET RAMSEY: Found dead in Boulder, Colorado on Christmas Day 1996 - Age 6 (1 Viewer)

Are you talking of the one he brings up where the guy managed to get away?

How did they figure that one got in and why didn't they set their alarm for when they were out of the house?

Or are you talking of something else?
I probably don't know any more about it than you do.

John Ramsey is now looking at President Trump to help solve his daughter's murder case.

JonBenét Ramsey's father, John, is now begging President Donald Trump to use his power to push authorities to solve his daughter's unsolved murder, RadarOnline.com can reveal.


The child beauty queen was 6 years old when she was found dead in her parents' basement one day
The grieving 81-year-old father revealed his frustration with Coloradoinvestigators, telling Fox News Digital: "I told the DA that money should not be a restrictor here. I need to get Donald Trump on them. He'll stir things up one way or the other, but somehow we've got to get them to do that."


"If he got involved in the… Cracker Barrel (issue). This is a whole lot of a bigger deal than the Cracker Barrel. Help us. So that's the bottom line," he added, referring to the president crying on social media after the longtime restaurant decided to rebrand its logo, leading to plenty of backlash.

John, who has criticized the Boulder Police Department, offered to fundraise to cover the cost of investigative genetic genealogy. This technology has already been utilized to solve cold cases, including the Golden State Killer case.

John Ramsey's Effort To Find His Daughter's Killer

He explained: "I am absolutely convinced that's the gold standard today. So I've been pushing that pretty hard in terms of what I think ought to happen. And I don't know that they're doing it. I know they listen, but I don't know where they are mentally in terms of making that happenOver the weekend, John also announced a petition asking Colorado lawmakers to align state law with the federal Homicide Victim’s Families' Rights Act, which gives victims the right to request a cold-case review.

"I was shocked by how the system works in our country," he said at the time. "We have 18,000 police jurisdictions. Each one is a little island of authority, and if the chief of police of an island doesn't want help, help can't come in. They have to be invited. That's primitive in my opinion."

John has been involved in the investigation to find his daughter's killer for decades, as he previously hired investigator Lou Smith, and he was able to compile a spreadsheet featuring the names of dozens of suspects before his death in 2010
]
However, Smith's daughter, paralegal Cindy Marr, was able to take over her father's work.

"They should restart the investigation from scratch using Lou’s list of suspects," a source close to the case previously revealed. "They had the name of the person of interest during the first week of the investigation, so that alone says the suspect is on Lou Smit's list because he had access to the police files."

Marra also shared: "We decided the best thing we could do is work off the spreadsheet he developed. We have been able to eliminate from our list probably 25 people based on DNA.


While he was detained by police, Wolf claimed his absence that night was due to a work party. In 2011, police said Wolf had been investigated as a suspect, but he was not behind the crime.[/COLOR]
Despite the police's findings, Dilson told DailyMail: "I've felt this burden of responsibility that I was one of the only people who could help to finally solve this case. And there's no way I can stop pushing until I get answers. It's like a train inside of me that refuses to quit."

However, Wolf ripped his ex-lover's accusations against him, calling them "completely absurd."

I just saw John Ramsey on Nate's show at Crime Con. He said he didn't want them to start over at the beginning but to go to this genetic genealogy thing instead.

I've seen him say it before as he makes his rounds on various shows/outlets.

He also said as he has before that Boulder cleaned house and there's new people on board to investigate with others gone and he seems happy about that but if so why is he reaching out to Trump?

Anyhow, the DNA is not the only thing that matters here and of course they should look at the entire case from the start, etc.

Why does it not name Burke under siblings? Also wasn't there more than one half sibling? I could have that one wrong.
When the siblings of JonBenét Ramsey are discussed, it's typically Burke Ramsey who is mentioned as her brother, not just "Burke"
. The query appears to be based on an assumption that has been disproven. Additionally, while Burke is JonBenét's only full sibling, her father John Ramsey had four other children from a previous marriage.
Here's a breakdown of JonBenét Ramsey's siblings:
Burke Ramsey (Full Sibling)
  • Brother of JonBenét: Burke and JonBenét share both parents, John and Patsy Ramsey. At the time of JonBenét's 1996 murder, Burke was nine years old.
  • Media Avoidance: Burke has famously avoided the media for most of his life due to intense public scrutiny and accusations. This has caused some documentaries and articles to discuss his absence rather than include his input, which may be why he was not mentioned in some contexts. He settled a $750 million defamation lawsuit against CBS for a special that accused him of his sister's murder.
Half-siblings (from John Ramsey's previous marriage)
Before his marriage to Patsy, John Ramsey had four children with his first wife, Lucinda Pasch:
  • John Andrew Ramsey: He has spoken out in the media and participated in documentaries about the case, particularly defending Burke from accusations.
  • Melinda Ramsey Long: Like her brother John Andrew, she has defended her family in the media.
  • Elizabeth Pasch Ramsey: Elizabeth died in a car accident in 1992, years before JonBenét's death.
  • Pamela Ramsey: Less information is available about her public involvement in the case, but she is also a half-sibling.

Officials in Boulder, Colo., said they will accept an offer from John and Patsy Ramsey to take a lie detector test to help prove their innocence in the death of their daughter JonBenét more than three years ago.

But a former investigator in the case tells ABCNEWS’ Good Morning America in an interview broadcast today that he thinks the case has been botched so badly that the killer will never be convicted without a confession.

“There will be no justice in this case and absent a confession,” said former investigator Steve Thomas, who has theorized that the girl’s mother is the killer. “And I hope I’m proved wrong, [but] I don’t see this going anywhere.”

The lie detector test, which the Ramseys first offered to take in an interview on ABC’s 20/20, would be administered in accordance with the couple’s conditions, Boulder authorities said in a statement released last night.

Police Chief Mark Beckner said Tuesday that his office, prosecutors and the FBI met this week and agreed to accept the Ramseys’ offer.

Atlanta lawyer L. Lin Wood asked Beckner in a letter that was released to the media Tuesday night whether the Ramseys “will be officially and publicly cleared from the umbrella of suspicion” if they pass a polygraph test.

Polygraph results are not admissible in court and District Attorney Alex Hunter said last month he did not approve of the test because of problems with a polygraph’s reliability. Medication or other conditions can taint the results, Hunter said.

Legal analyst Andrew Cohen says even if the Ramseys pass the test, authorities wouldn’t hesitate to prosecute them if the evidence warranted it.

“The public perception about their role in all of this could be more favorable” if the polygraph results support their account, Cohen said. “That could influence potential jurors down the road.

“But just passing this test isn’t going to stop prosecutors from prosecuting them in the future. It doesn’t create Teflon around them,” he added.

But a resolution to the case is unlikely unless there is a confession, said Thomas, who criticized the handling of the case from the beginning and what he characterized as a cozy relationship between the family and police.
“This was a case that needed to be hard fought like a war,” said Thomas, who has written a book, JonBenét: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation.

Both John and Patsy Ramsey have maintained their innocence and have not been charged with any crime. Although the Ramseys did not comment on the latest remarks from Thomas, John Ramsey told the Denver Post that Thomas’ earlier remarks about the case to Good Morning America were “a disgrace.”

In a statement, Hunter criticized Thomas’ story: “This book is full of half-truths,” he said.

In the interview segment aired today, Thomas criticized officials handling the case and said the theory she was subdued with a stun gun does not hold true.

Dr. Werner Spitz, a forensic scientist, told GMAthat the marks were more likely caused by “a snap, or something like a snap you know, a snap like a button.”

I could have as easily said Burke Ramsey as Burke. I was simply getting at all siblings are not listed, it makes it look as if she had only one when indeed she had several.

You total lost me with the query disproven bit (easy to do lol)).
 
It’s been nearly 30 years since JonBenet Ramsey’s haunting Christmastime murder — and there’s renewed optimism that investigators could be closer than ever to solving it.

Boulder police, who have made little visible progress in the case over the years, said this month that the investigation “remains a top priority.”

“Techniques and technology constantly evolve,” Chief Stephen Redfearn, of the police department in Boulder, Colorado, said in a video statement. “This is especially true with technology related to DNA testing.”

JONBENET RAMSEY’S FATHER, POLICE MEET FOR ‘IMPORTANT’ DISCUSSION OVER UNSOLVED CHILD PAGEANT STAR’S MURDER

JonBenet’s father, John Ramsey, met with Boulder police last January and said it was “an important meeting.” He told Fox News Digital earlier this year that he urged the department to accept help from a private genetics lab with a track record of cracking other cold cases.

In a September interview with Fox News Digital, he implored President Donald Trump to get involved in the case.
 
I saw a bit on this the last week or two. John Ramsey with Banfield is a lot of it and I watched one, nothing new imo that hadn't already been said some months prior.

They try to make it sound as if it is moving forward but that's what was said prior. New LE, etc. yada, yada, yada. I didn't fall for any more of the shows they milked.

And like it says above, in "September", not exactly new.

I'm not impressed with the DNA or the thought it will change everything.

I don't believe the Ramseys and I don't believe him now.

Jmo though. Opnions vary in this case and always have and most people have their own that vary and very heated ones too in some cases.
