  Speaker 1: in her family home in Boulder, Colorado. on December 26th, 1996.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And the case remains unsolved and that's why it captivates
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: us till date because they're still investigating this case and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: basically we have no answers still, just questions upon questions.

• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So let's start with who is JonBenet.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: JonBenet was born on August 6th, 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And her parents are Patricia, otherwise known as Patsy, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: JonBenet Ramsey. They were a wealthy family with Patsy being
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a former beauty queen crowned Miss West Virginia in 1977.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And John was a very successful businessman. He was the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: president of Access Graphics, a computer service company. But despite
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the demands of his work, however, he was a loving
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: father who cherished his children. And JonBenet had a very
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: vibrant personality from a very young age and loved performance.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And given her mother's background in the pageantry scene, it's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: unsurprising that JonBenet would enter the world of child beauty pageants,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: dominating the scene in Colorado when her family relocated. And
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Patsy had a very firm hand on JonBenet's pageantry, driving
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: participation and deeply involving herself in all aspects of her performances.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Patsy would design costumes and choreograph her routines as well.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So she would basically coach and train her daughter for
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: these pageants. And JonBenet had a knack for pageantry. She
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was very outgoing and confident, possessing many characteristics that helped
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: her excel at these shows. And Patsy would just nurture
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: these traits in JonBenet. And by the age of six,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: JonBenet had earned several notable titles in the child beauty
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: pageant circuits. She was Little Miss Colorado, Little Miss Cher Laveau,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Colorado State All-Star Kids Cover Girl, America's Royal Miss, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: National Tiny Miss Beauty. And I won't go too much
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: into my opinion of child pageants, but I myself don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: love the idea of a little child being dressed up
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: like a woman, a provocative woman. I don't think it
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: invites the right people inside, and I don't think, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: think it makes Kids grow up faster than they're supposed to,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but that is just my opinion, and that's all I'm
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: gonna say about that, and that is that. But John
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and Patsy had their daughter, who was excelling in her passion,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and they also had a son named Burke, the quieter
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: sibling between the two. And Burke was more reserved than JonBenet,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: despite being three years older. He didn't have aspirations of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: fame or glamor at all. And Burke and JonBenet supposedly
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: enjoyed a typical sibling relationship, with the usual sibling conflicts, quarrels,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and shared activities. And Burke may have been the sibling
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that JonBenet was closest in age with, but Burke was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: not the only other child in the house. JonBenet and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Burke had two half siblings, and these siblings were from
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: their father's first marriage. Melinda and John Andrew were a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: bit older than Burke and JonBenet. John Andrew being born
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in 1976, he was 14 years older than JonBenet, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: 11 years older than Burke.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And Melinda was.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Born in 1972 and was about 18 years older than
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: JonBenet and 15 years older than Burke. And they also
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: had another half-sibling named Elizabeth Ramsey, who was the first
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: child of Jon's marriage, though she sadly passed away from
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a car accident in 1992, four years before the death
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of JonBenet. But from the outside, the Ramseys were the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: picture-perfect family with everything going for them. They had many
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: beautiful children, one becoming an unprecedented rise to fame and success,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and many beautiful memories being made.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I gotta put my glasses on. I can't read.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I can't read. And they lived in a beautiful home
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: due to John's successes with his business. And their home
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: had three levels, with the third floor belonging to John
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and Patsy. They had two bathrooms on their floor, a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: sizable closet, their dressing room, and a personal fireplace in
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: their massive bedroom. And all the children lived on the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: second floor of the family home, with the daughters on
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: one side of the floor and the sons on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: other with the children's playroom separating the two halves. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: from all appearances, the Ramsey family seemed pretty wealthy. Though
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in a recent interview, JonBenet argued against his family's betrayal
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in the media as rich. He says they didn't consider
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: themselves rich despite his business selling and seeing more money
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: than he'd ever thought he'd ever have because he just
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: kept working. So I guess he didn't think he was
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: rich because he kept working and he also had more
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: money than he ever thought he'd had, I get that
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to a certain degree. You know, if you're still working,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: does that really mean that you're rich?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Like what else are you supposed to do?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I guess. I don't know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But he and his family were portrayed as rich because
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: his company reported one billion in gross revenue.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: But we were portrayed as, I was president of a
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: company that had done a billion dollars in revenue. We
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: were a distributor, like a grocery store. You got to
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: sell a lot of milk and eggs to make a
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: little bit of money. And that was the kind of
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: business we were in. So In our industry, that was
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: not a huge business.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And John was even named Entrepreneur of the Year in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: 1995 by Boulder, Colorado Chamber of Commerce.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So I'd say.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You're pretty rich and successful. But I think they just
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: didn't like being portrayed as this rich, pompous family who
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: didn't like their children. This is backing onto Menendez brothers,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: rich-type family. They're just portrayed poorly among the press and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: among the public. But this picture-perfect life would come crashing
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: down on one night of the year that was supposed
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to be filled with the most cheer. It was Christmas Day, 1996,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and all seemed well. JonBenet and her older brother, Burke,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: spent part of the day opening presents. And later in
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the evening, the family planned to attend a Christmas party
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: hosted by their friends, Fleet and Priscilla White. And it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: would be late when the family returned and put their
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: children to bed. So it is important to note that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: John Ramsey was the one to put JonBenet to bed
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that night. And the following morning at 5.30 a.m., Patsy
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: would wake up and start her day.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And she would head downstairs.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But before she made it halfway down, she encountered three
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: pieces of paper lying on the stairs. And upon reading it,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: her heart would drop. It was a ransom note for $ 118, 000
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: for her daughter, JonBenet Ramsey. And she would quickly rush
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: upstairs to her daughter's room only to find her missing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: from her bed. And at 5.52 a.m., JonBenet Ramsey was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: reported missing to authorities and the hunt continued. And I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: think it's important to read this ransom note if you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: haven't heard it. I'm sure a lot of you have,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: but I think it's very relevant because from what it
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: says and how everything else went down, it's very strange.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: It's very strange to say the least.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: So I am going to read the ransom note for
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you to pick apart yourself and for me to also
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: pick apart throughout the rest of this video.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Mr. Ramsey, listen carefully. We are a group of individuals
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that represent a small foreign faction. We do respect your business,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: but not the country that it serves. At this time,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: we have your daughter in our possession. She is safe
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and unharmed, and if you want her to see 1997,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: you must follow our instructions to the letter. You will
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: withdraw $ 118, 000 from your account. $ 100, 000 will be in $ 100 bills,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: and the remaining $ 18, 000 in $ 20 bills. Make sure you
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: get home, you will put the money in a brown
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: paper bag. I will call you between 8 and 10 a.m.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: you getting the money early, we might call you early
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to arrange an earlier delivery on the money, and hence
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: an earlier delivery pickup of your daughter. Any deviation of
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: my instructions will result in immediate execution of your daughter.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: You will also be denied her remains for proper burial.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: like you, so I advise you not to provoke them.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Speaking to anyone about your situation, such as the police, FBI, etc.,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: you talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: alert bank authorities, she dies. If the money is in
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: any way marked or tampered with, she dies. You will
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: be scanned for electronic devices, and if any are found,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: she dies. You can try to deceive us, but be warned,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: that we are familiar with the law enforcement countermeasures and tactics.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: You stand a 99% chance of killing your daughter if
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: you try to outsmart us. Follow our instructions and you
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: stand a 100% chance of getting her back. You and
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Don't try to grow a brain, John. You are not
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the only fat cat around, so don't think that killing
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: will be difficult. Don't underestimate us, John. Use that good
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: southern common sense of yours. It is up to you now, John. Victory. C-B-T-Y.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So I.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The note.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Is.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I won't get into.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It too much now, but very long. Very long and very,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: very well written. Whoever wrote this is very well read,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but there are a couple spelling mistakes here and there.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And I personally noticed some odd things throughout as well
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that I haven't actually... necessarily seen other people talk about,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: which I will talk about as well as we get
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: into it. Uh, but do with that what you will
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: with the note and we will get into the rest
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the video. So when investigators arrived at the Ramsey residence,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: because Patsy did call the police after reading this, they
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: immediately began.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: To ask questions and investigate the note.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The first details noticed is that it was all handwritten
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: using Patsy's notepad and Sharpie from within the home. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I personally can't imagine having a killer in your home
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: sitting on your furniture while you're sleeping, writing a note
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: before coming upstairs.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: To take your child. It sounds like a.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: nightmare. And it sounds very odd. In total, FBI investigators
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: estimated that the person would have spent 21 minutes inside
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the home writing, which seemed really implausible because if they
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: were after Jean Benet, they would have most likely been
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: in and out as not to get caught. And the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: note stated not to call the police or Jean Benet
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: would be hurt. But Patsy called anyway. And later that morning,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: two police officers arrived at the residence to investigate the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And upon arrival, the police officers determined that there was
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: zero evidence to suggest that there was any forced entry.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: There were no footprints in the snow outside, unidentifiable fingerprints
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: or tool marks near the doors or windows. Meaning the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: person either had access to the home or was from
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the home, or perhaps the Ramsey family just never locked
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: their doors. And one of the officers actually tried to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: get in the basement, but found that the door to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the basement was locked from the inside, not allowing them
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to investigate at the moment. And after finding no initial evidence,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: investigators were called in. And at 8 a.m., investigator Linda
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Arndt arrived at the home and began investigating. And the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: first thing that she noted was that the parents, Patsy
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and John, were not standing near each other and purposely
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: avoiding each other, which she found extremely odd for grieving parents.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And Fleet and Priscilla had come over after Patsy had
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: called them and helped search the home.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: The civilians helped search the home. What's going on?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I know it's a different time, but it was, you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we're getting into the late 90s at this point. We
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: know how to do searches.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It's very strange.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And at about 10 a.m., Fleet made it into the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: basement and discovered that the lights were already on and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that the door to the wine cellar was already open.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: He looked around some more and found a broken window
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that was open that John claimed he had broke months ago,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but just neglected to fix. And many speculated that this
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is where the assailants might have entered. and exited into
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the home, avoiding any evidence of forced entry upstairs. However,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the grime and cobwebs on the windowsill showed that nobody
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: had come.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Through there recently, which I think is very important. and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: very obvious.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Plus, there were no footprints exiting or entering near the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: window from the outside. But still, people were convinced because
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: directly underneath the window was a suitcase that had scuff
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: marks along the top, which to be fair, could have
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: come from anything at any point of the life of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that suitcase. And some people believe that whoever killed Jean
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Benet stepped down onto the suitcase and entered the home
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that way. Also, all around the basement were footprints found
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: with the mold of a men's high-tech brand boot. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: John Ramsey didn't own a pair of these shoes. And
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to this day, many believe this belonged to the murderer.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And investigators also learned that neighbors claimed that they saw
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: lots of activity in that Ramsey household past midnight. And
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: one neighbor, Melody Ann Statton, claimed to have heard John
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Benet Ramsey screaming for her life. She said, quote unquote,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I heard a terrible sound. It was the longest, most
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: horrible scream I have heard in my entire life. It
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: sent shivers down my spine. I could tell the sound
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was coming from the Ramsay house, and I knew instantly
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it had to be their little girl.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: But then I realized.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: John and Patsy were home, so whatever it was that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: caused their little girl to scream, they were there to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: take care of it. And another neighbor, Scott Gibbons, claimed
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to see dim lights flashing around in the Ramsay kitchen
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: from his kitchen window. But what's interesting about that is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: if the neighbors were to hear a scream that loud,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: it's weird that nobody in the house heard that scream
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: because from what we know, they didn't hear it and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that they woke up to JonBenet being completely gone.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: So that's also something I find very odd.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And continuing their search, investigators still found no evidence and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: no John Bonnet. So they asked again for John Ramsey
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and some other family friends who had come over to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the home to search the house to see if they
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: could find any information, which is horrible police work to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have the public just coming in and looking for evidence.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand how this.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Was a thing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And at about 1 p.m., John Ramsey would enter, make
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: his way down and make his way to the open
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: wine cellar. And to his horror, there lay the deceased
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: body of his six-year-old daughter, JonBenet. And her body would
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: be covered with a blanket and her mouth was covered
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: with duct tape. And her hands were tied to her
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: neck by some nylon cord. And other odd evidence included
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the fact that JonBenet was found next to a hidden
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: floor safe that was covered in dust with a top plate,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: but it was partially ajar as if someone tried to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: open it. And after finding his daughter deceased, JonRamsey would
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: pick her up from the crime scene and walk her
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: upstairs completely ruining any evidence that was at the crime scene,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: or tampering with it at the least. But, I mean,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to play devil's advocate, I mean, you're a father, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you find your daughter deceased, and I think the last
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: thing you're thinking about is how.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: To preserve evidence.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So I will give him that, and I think in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: an interview he did mention that he thought he could
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: still maybe save her.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: So I know a lot of people.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: scrutinize that and it's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And the initial autopsy report found that the cause of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: death was asphyxiation by strangulation associated with cranial trauma, as
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: if she got hit on the head with something.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And a garret made.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Of nylon cord and a paintbrush handle was used for
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the strangulation. And the paintbrush handle used in the garret
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: wire came from Patsy's art supplies. But the bottom third
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of the brush was never found. And inside JonBenet's stomach
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was a partially digested pineapple, which meant she had clearly
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: eaten a few hours before her death. And in the kitchen,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a bowl containing pieces of pineapple was found with Patsy's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: fingerprints on it. Yet neither Patsy or John remembered giving
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: JonBenet any food after they arrived home. So a massive
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: list of suspects was constructed reaching over 1,600 people. And
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Patsy and John were obviously the first two suspects due
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to the evidence found in their home and because of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: their odd behavior. However, DNA evidence quickly ruled them out
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: at the time. But this didn't convince everyone because during
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the investigation there were numerous mistakes and broken protocols that
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: made the case even harder to solve. Pieces of evidence
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: were lost, like when the family friends started to use
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: spray cleaner on the kitchen counters or when they sealed
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: off JonBenet's bedroom, leaving the rest of the home completely
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: open for family and friends, even though JonBenet was found
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: in the basement and was numerous pieces of evidence found.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Throughout the home. It's just like.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: insane to me that this happened. And the evidence that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: did survive was mislabeled and during the investigation, confidential evidence
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: was shared with the Ramsey family and friends present at
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the home and overall, There was just a poor investigation
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of the home by police and detectives.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: And because of this, two parties formed.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: One was the DA's office and Detective Lou Smith, who
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: believed that the evidence found alluded to an outside party
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: being responsible for JonBenet's death. And the other party was Boulder,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Colorado Police Department, which believed that the ransomware were responsible.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And this led the Colorado governor to initiate a grand
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: jury to decide whether or not the Ramseys should go
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to court for the death of their daughter. And on
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: September 15th, 1998, the grand jury met and in early
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: 1999 created a charge against the Ramseys for child endangerment
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: resulting in death, where both parents knowingly or recklessly put
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: JonBenet Ramsey in a dangerous situation that led to her death,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and obstruction of justice, where both parents helped someone avoid
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: being caught or punished for crimes including murder and child
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: abuse resulting in death. However, the family would not be
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: prosecuted because the district attorney believed that there was no
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: way to prove that the Ramseys' guilt with 100% certainty.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And since then, there has been no major evidence found
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and no suspects have ever been brought into custody. And
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: even with the advances in DNA and forensic technology, the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: old samples collected from the crime scene remained unidentified.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And to this day, the two camps.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Still exist, but prosecutors are leaning more towards the Ramsey
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: family being guilty. And in recent years, investigators have criticized
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the first detectives and officers who worked on the case
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: for exonerating the Ramseys so early on, believing it damaged
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the integrity of the case for future investigators. And the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: case is still open as the Boulder police search to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: find the killer of JonBenet Ramsey. So let's go through
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: some of the theories and suspects. The first one is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that the parents did it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Allegedly. This isn't me.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: This is me just talking about other people's theories. So
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the 911 call on December 26 had Patsy Ramsey calling
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the police saying that her daughter had been kidnapped and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: stating that she was six years old and sounding very
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: frantic on the phone. She stated that her daughter had
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: been missing and that she had a ransom note that
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: was left signed by S-B-T-C.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Victory.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: 911 emergency. Police.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: What's going on there, ma'am? We have a kidnapping. All right, police.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Explain to me what's going on, okay?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: There's a note left and our daughter's gone.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: A note was left and your daughter is gone? Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: How old is your daughter? Six years old. She's gone.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Six years old. And after the investigation opened to the kidnapping,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: the 911 operator felt that the call seemed.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Rehearsed. And investigators also broke down the call stating her
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: word choice and deliberate speech also sound rehearsed. And when
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: she explained that there was a kidnapping she said, we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: have a kidnapping. Which is just a very odd phrase
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to use when your daughter's been kidnapped. And the phone
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: call was also enhanced in different ways and with the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: end of the phone call after she put the phone
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: down hearing How could you do that? And although this
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: evidence is inconclusive and could be labeled as a pure assumption,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I've listened to it and it's kind of hard because
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: after you know what somebody thinks that they said, that's kind.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Of all you hear.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: But we really don't know that that is also just
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: like a blatant like, theory that people think, but I'm
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: not claiming that that is what she said. And the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: evidence of the scene of the crime of JonBenet's murder
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: led to the investigation.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Of the ransom note.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And this would lead to Patsy and John Ramsey becoming
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: suspects in the crime. The random note being handwritten and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: unusually lengthy, according to investigators. And to make matters worse,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the paper for the note was taken from Patsy's own notepad,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and her own Sharpie was used as well, as we
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: discussed earlier. And this led the forensic team to believing
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that the note was written inside the residence, which would
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: be an unnecessary risk for an intruder to feel inclined
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to do so. And experts, like retired FBI Supervisor Special
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Agent Jim Clement, and other experts estimated the note would
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: have taken around 21 minutes to write.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: That's a really long time. That is just shy of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: half an hour of sitting in.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: The house writing this note when you're about to commit
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: an insane crime that could put you in jail forever, basically.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But again, it just paints the narrative of an intruder
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: unlikely as to not wasting time to put themselves into
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: danger of being found. And they also noted that the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: ransom note had unique and specific words misspelled, such as
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: possession and business. And according to forensic linguistics expert, Jane Fitzgerald,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the spelling could have been deliberate or a cover to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: hide the actual suspect's identity. Because John and Patsy Ramsey
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: were all very well educated attending so-called big state schools,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: those schools being Michigan State and West Virginia University, which
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: showed they wouldn't misspell such simple words. However, with investigators
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: supposing that these words were deliberately misspelled, suspicion pointed back
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: on the two, doing this to hide behind their education.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And Fitzgerald would also notice another detail with the handwriting,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: stating that the font style printing had generally a feminine trait,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: drawing similarities to Patsy's own personal handwriting, including font style
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and printing as well.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I have combed through these letters.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Uh, they, like, the amount I've looked at this, like,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I am a freaking forensic linguistic expert, which I'm not
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: at all, but I feel like I want to, like,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: look at it with you guys, and I just want
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to make some notes that I found that some of
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: them have been obviously caught by experts, but some of them,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I couldn't find the certain
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: thing that I personally noticed, but I thought, you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is kind of relevant. We look at the Actual ransom note.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And like what they're saying, it has, you know, the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: kind of deliberate looking squiggles in it. At the beginning,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: it kind of gets better throughout the end as if
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: almost whoever's writing it kind of gave up on.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Trying to mask what it was, to be honest.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But one thing I noticed, like they say that the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: E's look really similar to Patsy and the perpetrator who
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: wrote this ransom note and other letters as well. But
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I found that the A's were very interesting because throughout
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the Ransom Note, you see the perpetrator doing these types.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Of A's a lot. Like in the beginning, we see.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It here and here and here and you kind of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: just see them throughout. You see the A change like
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: right here into just... you know, your regular A. And
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I noticed that whoever wrote this kind of stops at
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: one point and goes back to the regular A and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: then switches to the other A, which is odd. It's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: not a very common thing to do. So I found
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that while I was looking at the ransom note and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, whoever wrote this really likes to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: use both As. And if you're just listening and can't
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: see what I'm showing right now, I'm talking about more
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of a cursive A and then just your regular A
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that looks like an O with a little tail off
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: And then I looked at.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Mrs. Ramsey's writing, and by God, I found the same similarity,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: which I found very interesting. We see here that she's
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: using the second A, mostly, especially at the beginning. She
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't screw up there, but then we get to the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: second paragraph, and we see the first A right here
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: changed to the.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Other A, which is very odd. I just found that
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: very odd.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And then she switches back to the other A and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: then she goes back to the other A like in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: bank here.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: That there's been lots of forensic people that have already
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: picked up on that because I'm just a mere person
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: who looked at it for like an hour. But it's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: just a very interesting similarity and maybe it has nothing
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to do with anything. And I'm just a stupid YouTuber
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and what do I know?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Probably nothing.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And then they also got her to do individual words.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: that were on the ransom note, which was interesting. And
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you see that she doesn't stray from using the same A.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: She uses the same A throughout all of them. And
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: then also in her just random other letter that they took,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: she does the same thing where she's using two different A's.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: And I just find that so weird. Anyway, that's my
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: little A.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just Canadian. I just like saying A. That's my
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: little A theory. That's just strange. Just a little bit strange,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: you know? But anyway, the suspicions were adding up and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: not only was the note written from inside the house
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and the handwriting was strikingly similar to Patsy's, but the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: actual tone of the words were very interesting because it
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: apparently had less emotion than conventional anonymous threats since it
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: lacked any adjectives or emphasis on words that would need
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: to be there to threaten or strike fear into the reader.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Like why wouldn't a kidnapper threaten the victim's family in
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: order to cause them to comply better? And it's pointed
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: yet again at the Ramseys because was there actually a
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: real threat? And if there wasn't, then it makes sense
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that this note was written kind of like, so like,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: laissez faire, you know? Because if they already knew that
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: their daughter wasn't actually kidnapped and wasn't actually going to
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: get killed because she was actually already murdered, Why would
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they put emphasis into like emotional tones in the ransom note?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: But this is, again, all a legend. I'm not saying anything,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: but it's just a note. So with the lack of
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: emotional tone, the note taking too long to be written
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: by a rushed intruder, written on the same notebook and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Sharpie from inside the house, and the handwriting also being suspicious,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the conclusion that the parents staged a false note.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Is more than likely. However, it is not confirmed.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And all of this pretty much eliminated John from being
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a suspect of writing the ransom note.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: But Patsy was not.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And her handwriting was compared to the note where police
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: asked for a sample of her writing the note herself
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: to compare to, which we saw.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Earlier when I went on my little A rant.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: And the investigators and police would later question Patsy for
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: six and a half hours, with her husband John only
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: being interviewed for two. And the transcript for their talk
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: is insanely long, but I read it. I did read it,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and a lot of it just goes over, um, like,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: who they are, what the, like, who, where they came from.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: They literally just went through their whole history, who they knew,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: how they were connected, going through everything. But her story
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: kind of had a lot of weird details and it
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: sounded like lots of lawyer-directed responses, such as glossing over
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the details that the note came from Patsy's own notepad.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: But again, nothing ever came of that and she died
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: an innocent woman, so it is what it is. and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that is, you're innocent until proven guilty. That brings us
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: to the brother theory. One of the crazier whodunit theories
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to come out of JonBenet Ramsey's murder investigation speculates that
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: her brother, Burke, was the one who killed her, whether
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: intentionally or unintentionally.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Again, this is a theory.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: But much of this stems from speculation that the two
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: may have had an unfortunate interaction over the midnight pineapple snack.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: So the theory suggests that Burke was having a midnight snack,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and JonBenet took a piece, which made Burke upset, resulting
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: in him hitting her over the head with a flashlight,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a blow that would kill her. And it's strictly speculative,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and that was never a proven fact. I just wanna
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: make that very, very clear. But when this theory began
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to emerge, however, it caused people to scrutinize Burke and
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: his past. looking for any indication that he had a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: history of behavior that could be used to prove that
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: something was off about Burke and that he was capable
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: of murder. Or was at very least mentally ill or disturbed.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: And this theory reached a fever pitch in 2016 with
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the release of CBC documentary the case of JonBenet Ramsey.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: And in this documentary, a heavy emphasis is placed on
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Burke being the culprit and former FBI special agent Jim
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Clement claimed in the documentary that Burke had a history
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: of scatological problems, meaning that he had an interest in excrement.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And one example is that he had allegedly smeared feces
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: on JonBenet's Christmas presents as well as bedroom and bathroom walls.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: And if that were true, that would seemingly indicate a
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: history of disturbing acts perpetrated by Burke targeting his younger sister.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: And they continue outlining Burke's history of disturbing behavior and
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: how he could even become violent by sharing an incident
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: when Burke hit JonBenet in the face with a golf club,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: resulting in a scar. But I couldn't personally find pictures
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of this, so I don't know this for sure. Did
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you hit your sister with a golf club? Not on purpose.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: She was standing behind me and I went like that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And because of these details, headlines would state that Burke
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: had done it as if it were a matter of fact.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Even in the documentary itself, it was stated pretty plainly that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Burke murdered JonBenet.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: And Dr.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Werner Spitz, a forensic pathologist, was quoted saying, It's.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: The boy who did it.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Whether he was jealous or mentally unfit or something, I
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: don't know the why. I'm not a psychiatrist, but what
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I am sure about is what I know about him.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: That's a crazy statement to make with no evidence.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: But because of this documentary and the statements that Burke
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: had killed JonBenet, Burke sued CBS, Dr. Werner Spitzer, and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: other experts for defamation. And CBS was sued for $ 750 million,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and Spitzer was sued for $ 150 million. And the lawsuit
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: was settled out of court with settlement details never being disclosed.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm guessing he got a pretty fat payout because
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: those are some pretty fat allegations to make against somebody
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: that is currently innocent.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: But supposed evidence.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: That Burke was a killer extended beyond just the feces
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: spreading and the golf club hit. When investigators both real
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and fake, aka internet sleuths, I don't consider myself an
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: internet sleuth, okay? They examined interviews of Burke following the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: death of JonBenet. More questions were raised about Burke after
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: they all analyzed these. And in those clips of Burke
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: from when he was just nine years old, talking about
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a sister's death and interacting with investigators who were questioning him,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: he talks and behaves in ways people have called unnatural
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: for someone who lost a sibling. Can you take that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: knife out? No, sir. And Burke being the killer is
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: one proposed reason for this. Another answer could be that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: this is just one of an infinite number of ways
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that children react to trauma. And it's not indicative of
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: him being responsible, necessarily. And this sentiment was echoed by Dr. Phil,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: who interviewed Burke in 2016 in what was Burke's first
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: interview since his sister's death 20 years prior. And in
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: that interview, Burke seems pretty lighthearted about JonBenet's death. even
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: smirking and smiling while talking to her. And that led
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to more claims that he was responsible, though Dr. Phil
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: explains that it was nerves and anxiety due to being
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Burke's first time talking about the night publicly. And I've
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: watched the whole interview. I also watched several behavioral analysts,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: like experts in the field, analyze that specific interview, and
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of really interesting notes, one of
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: them noting that they have a strong feeling that he
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: could be autistic. It's just a claim, that is not
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: something I'm saying, it's just something that other experts had
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: opinions on, and his smiling and his mannerisms could just
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: be a result of him being on the spectrum, but
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: that is not concrete, so we don't actually know that
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: And then other.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: People say that he's deflecting questions and that he's looking
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: away when he's answering things. It's a very interesting interview
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to watch, and I don't know, you can make your
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: own theories from watching it.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Obviously, again, innocent until proven guilty.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, it's just interesting, and I think that's all
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I can say.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Did you and she eat pineapple together at any time.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: During the day?
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't remember....
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: But the theory that Burke was responsible also suggests that
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: since Burke killed Jean Benet, allegedly, the parents, John and Patsy,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: would have had to cover it up for him. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: people reference an extended and enhanced version of the 911
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: call placed by Patsy, as evidence that this was the case.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: And it's speculated that Patsy had believed she'd hung up
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the phone, but didn't. And some believe the voices at
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the end to be Patsy, John, and Burke. But notably,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: if the voice speculated to belong to Burke is him,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: then it would mean that John and Patsy had lied
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to investigators when they said that Burke had slept until
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the cops arrived. And if they lied about one thing,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: then why not all of it? And that is, once again,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: all speculative, and no charges were ever brought against anyone
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: for the murder of JonBenet. And Burke has denied his
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: involvement in his sister's death, as has his parents, both
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: then and And no matter what anyone says, body language
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and behavioral experts on YouTube continue evaluating interviews to.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Find the truth.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And people were only critical of the Ramsey family for
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: an alleged involvement in JonBenet's murder, but it also began
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to circulate that they had profited off her.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Death as well.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: From the moment JonBenet's body was discovered, The media zeroed
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in on the Ramseys, making them central characters in an
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: unfolding real-life drama. And instead of retreating from the spotlight
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: to grieve privately, John and Patsy leaned into the media frenzy.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: They gave really high-profile interviews, often controlling the narrative by
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: choosing sympathetic outlets. And in 2000, they even wrote a book,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: The Death of Innocence. And critics argue this wasn't a
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: grieving family seeking answers, but a PR campaign disguised as mourning.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: And the book deal alone likely earned the family a
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: substantial financial compensation. So was this a strategy to keep
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: their story and version of the truth in the public
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: eye for profit? Some conspiracy theorists claim that the Ramseys
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: leveraged the nation's obsession with the case to keep their
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: brand intact despite growing suspicions of their involvement. And following
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: the release of their book, there was also a string
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: of defamation lawsuits the Ramseys filed against tabloids, journalists, and
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: even law enforcement officials who implied that they were guilty,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: which I want to put on the record, I am not.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: implying just putting the facts out there that other people said.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: And while the Ramseys claimed that these were about clearing
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: their names, skeptics point out these lawsuits coincided with dwindling
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: public sympathy for the family.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: So kind of like perfectly timed lawsuits.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: And JonBenet's parents' behavior surrounding her death has been extremely
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: strange since day one. And it is not really a
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: surprise that people believed that they were profiting from their
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: daughter's death, whether they did anything or they didn't. Their
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: defensive nature and eagerness to sue and to go on
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: interviews do show that they were aware of the amount
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: of attention they were getting and saw the opportunity to
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: become famous. And to this day, her dad and Burke
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: still do interviews carrying on JonBenet's legacy. And there are
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: many media publications and documentaries made about this case. A
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: very recent one it just came out in November 2024,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: called Cold Case, Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey? And that's part
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of the reason why I'm doing this deep dive, because
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just, I mean, I've heard about this case ever
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: since I was little. I was born the same year
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: that JonBenet was killed. So I know my mom, my parents,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: everyone around me has always been interested in this case.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: And I have heard about it a lot, but I
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: kind of wanted to deep dive into it myself and
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and get to know more of it and watch this
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: specific documentary and see if there was anything new. But
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I'll just kind of give you the breezed over version
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: of what the new documentary came out with. First of all,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: experts considered the ransom note It was one of the
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: primary pieces of evidence dating back to the beginning of
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the case, but this is something that we already discussed,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: so again, it's just not new information. And then that
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: there was a suitcase below the basement window. And there
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: was also a small piece of glass found on the ground,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: found by the suitcase, and Smit apparently even attempted this
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: himself to see if it would have been difficult, but
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: he found that lifting the grate to get in as
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: well as using the suitcase as a step out would
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: have been easy for the killer. But the police at
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: the time didn't pay much attention to this evidence. But
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Lou Smit later proved that the window could have easily
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: been accessed and entered in through the house. But then
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I go back to the fact that there was like
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: cobwebs and dust on the windowsill that were untouched. Again,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: not really new evidence. And also the autopsy revealed that
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: she had been hit on the head, which we already
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: went over. And the Boulder police did not initially check
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the room where her body was found in their initial search,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: which is really bad, just more neglect from the police.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: And in the documentary, it kind of leans towards the
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Ramseys just being completely innocent and kind of leans toward
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the narrative that they just feel bad for the parents.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: And it also goes on to say that the DNA
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: analysis proved that the Ramseys were not the killer, but
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: then later, It's shown that the DNA evidence was tampered with,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: so they can't say that definitively either. And Detective Steve
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Thomas admitted that the FBI and police fed information.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: To the media. Steve Thomas, who later.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Wrote a book about how he believed that Patsy Ramsey
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: to be the killer, admitted that the police attempted to
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: force the Ramseys to speak to them by feeding information
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: to the media. And Thomas said he believed Patsy had
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: gotten angry at JonBenet because she wet the bed and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: injured her in a fit of rage. And she then
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: set the crime scene up to make it look like
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a kidnapping gone wrong. And in the docu-series, Jean Bernays
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: stated that his wife had just survived ovarian cancer and
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: was happy to be alive, so she would not have
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: been angered by something like wetting the bed. And despite
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Detective Thomas' repeated assertions that Patsy was the killer and
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the newspaper printing information to point in that direction, the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: evidence has never been able to.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Prove that the Ramseys were involved.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: There was also allegedly marks on JonBenet's face and back
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: thought to be left by a stun gun, but there's
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: no conclusive evidence one way or another about this. And
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: there was also a similar assault case in a nearby
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: neighborhood several months later, but the police denied that the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: two cases were similar in any way. And in 2013,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: it was revealed that the jury voted to indict both parents,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: but the DA office did not pursue it. And also
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: the police investigated several other male suspects, but all had
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: like airtight alibis. And an unknown man named Daxus confessed
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to the crime. And this was after several years, he
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: called in and basically detailed of how he killed her.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: And the man ended up being John Mark Carr, who
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: was an elementary school teacher living in Thailand. And he
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: had a history of acting strangely towards children, though he
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: was never formally convicted. And while his phone calls with
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Tracy outlined how the murder had occurred, Carr ultimately went
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: free because his DNA did not match any DNA.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Found at the scene.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: And experts also questioned DNA at the scene, like we
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: already talked about as well, because it had been tampered with.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: And in 2022, the Ramsey family petitioned to have the
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: case re-examined. But I mean, you know, if you've, if
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: you've seen any other JonBenet, uh, docu-series or documentaries, I mean, I,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting watch. Um, it maybe goes
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: over details that weren't really said in other documentaries, but
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the narrative is kind of pushed towards a more positive narrative,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: narrative towards the parents, in my opinion. Um, but yeah,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's all I have for the JonBenet case.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I truly do hope that one day this gets solved
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: because it is just heartbreaking and so strange. And I
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: hope the person that did do it is either burning
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: in hell or it's burning a hole in their conscience
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and eating them alive.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: But that is it for this video.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Please let me know what other deep dives you want
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: me to deep dive into down below.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: In the comments. And let me know your theories down
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: in the comments below. I love reading the comments. I
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: answer them. I like them.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Even the ones I don't like, I'm reading. So I
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: love having conversations down in the comments below. And also,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I have uh, this on Spotify. I have, uh, a
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: crime conspiracy cults and serial killers, Spotify podcast. You could
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: listen to this and watch it on Spotify as well.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Really helps out.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: If you want to go listen to that, uh, rate it, you.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Know, maybe give it five stars if you want.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but, uh, I was number one in
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: the UK for true crime podcast for a minute there,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: which was really cool. And top 20 in, um, the States,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I think top five and true crime.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Anyway, crazy.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: So I just want to say thank you so much
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: to whoever's listening to me on Spotify. Really, really appreciate that.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Super awesome.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I will see you beautiful face in the
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: next video, right?
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Bye.
