JonBenet Rasmey | I loved and I lost you (20 years later)

JonBenet Patricia Ramsey August 6, 1990 – December 25 or 26, 1996) was a six-year-old American beauty queen who was killed in her family's home in Boulder, Colorado, on December 25, 1996. A lengthy ransom note was found in the house, and her father, John Ramsey, found the little girl's body in the basement of their house about eight hours after she was reported missing. She sustained a broken skull from a blow to the head and had been strangled; a garrote was found tied around her neck. The official cause of death, as reported by the autopsy, was "asphyxiation due to strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma". Time magazine reported that it was officially ruled a homicide.The case generated nationwide public and media interest, in part because her mother Patsy Ramsey (herself a former beauty queen) had entered JonBenét in a series of child beauty pageants. The case still remains an open investigation with the Boulder Police Department.The police suspected JonBenét's death was caused accidentally, either by Patsy or JonBenét's nine-year-old brother Burke, and believed the ransom note and appearance of the body were staged by the parents to cover it up. The case still remains an open investigation with the Boulder Police Department.

The police suspected JonBenét's death was caused accidentally, either by Patsy or JonBenét's nine-year-old brother Burke, and believed the ransom note and appearance of the body were staged by the parents to cover it up. In 1998, both the police and District Attorney stated that Burke was not a suspect.The Ramseys gave several televised interviews, but resisted police questioning except on their own terms. In October 2013, unsealed court documents revealed that a 1999 grand jury had recommended charges against John and Patsy for child abuse resulting in death.However, the district attorney said there was insufficient evidence to warrant charges being filed. In 2003, trace DNA taken from the victim's clothes was found to belong to an unknown male, inducing the district attorney's successor in 2008 to send the Ramseys a letter of apology, declaring the family "completely cleared".In February 2009, the Boulder Police Department took the case back from the district attorney and reopened the investigation.

In addition to JonBenét's brief beauty pageant career, media coverage of the case has often focused on her parents' wealth and the unusual evidence found in the case. Media reports have also questioned the police's handling of the case. Ramsey family members and their friends have filed defamation suits against several media organizations.

JonBenét was born in 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia, the younger of the two children of Patsy and John Ramsey. Her older brother, Burke, was born three years earlier. Her first name was a portmanteau of her father's first and middle names. At the time of her death, JonBenét was enrolled in kindergarten at High Peaks Elementary School in Boulder, Colorado.

According to the testimony of Patsy Ramsey given on December 26, 1996, she realized that her daughter was missing after finding on the kitchen staircase a two-and-a-half-page ransom letter demanding $118,000 for her safe return—almost the exact value of a bonus her husband had received earlier that year.

The ransom note was unusually long and the police were told by the FBI that it was also very unusual for a ransom note to be written at the crime scene.It was considered by the police to be staged and included an unusual use of exclamation marks and acronyms and did not have any fingerprints.The ransom note and a practice draft were written with a pen and pad of paper from the Ramsey home.

According to a Colorado Bureau of Investigation report, "There are indications that the author of the ransom note is Patricia Ramsey." However, they could not definitively prove it.

The only people known to be in the house on the night of JonBenét's death were the victim and her immediate family: Burke, Patsy and John Ramsey. Despite specific instructions in the ransom note that police and friends should not be contacted, Patsy Ramsey telephoned the police at 5:52 a.m. MST. Patsy also called family and friends.

Friends and the family's minister arrived at the home to support the Ramsey family. Victim advocates also arrived at the scene. Friends and advocates picked up and cleaned surfaces in the kitchen, possibly destroying evidence. Boulder Police Detective Linda Arndt arrived about 8 a.m. MST, with the goal of awaiting the kidnapper(s) instructions, but there was never an attempt to claim the money.

In loving memory of JonBenet Ramsey.
1990-1996
