I’ve been casually following the JonBenét murder mystery since Christmas night, 1996. My theory has always been that her brother, Burke, did it and her mother, Patsy covered it up. The father, John, did not know the truth and was not involved.
Because it has been nearly 20 years and the crime is still unsolved, the story is in the news again. This time, everyone involved is being scrutinized, including the Boulder, CO police for their bungled investigation. Television personality, Dr. Phil did a very in-depth interview with Burke Ramsey. It is the first time Burke has ever spoken publicly. The first of three episodes was broadcast today. One more episode will air tomorrow and the last one next Monday, Sep. 19.
Burke has a really creepy smile on his face while he tells his story, but he looks exactly like his mother, and she always had a smiley face, even when she was grieving at the funeral. The ransom note that Patsy found downstairs was written on paper from a pad already in the house using a pen from the house. The ransom note was analyzed by at least four hand writing experts and none of them were ever able to confirm that it was written by Patsy Ramsey, even though she was asked to submit several handwriting samples to the police. Experts say that a kidnapper would have written the ransom note before coming to the crime scene; not wait until they got there. Duh...
My opinion is that Burke was jealous of all the attention that JonBenét got, constantly; and they were probably squabbling about something (which was normal for them). He hit her on the back of the head with a flash light that was on the kitchen counter. It was an accident. Detectives surmised that JonBenét had been in the kitchen, because the autopsy found undigested pineapple in her stomach and there was a bowl of pineapple still on the kitchen counter.
From his interview, Burke seems to be emotionally immature and he is reveling in the attention he is finally getting from Dr. Phil and others. Burke is now 29 and said that he feels he has had a normal life since JonBenét’s death. He went to college and graduated from Purdue University. His father says Burke is working in the tech industry, but little else is know about his life, public or private.
Patsy Ramsey died from cancer in 2006. John has remarried.
I’m hoping there will be more to this story and I will report additional news as I get it.
