It’s been nearly 20 years since child beauty pageant star JonBenet Ramsey was found murdered in her Boulder, Colorado home.
It was the day after Christmas.
Now, a group of international investigators is claiming that it has finally solved the cold case. And they’re going to release the information tonight.
“The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey,” is a two-part miniseries airing on CBS this week. A former FBI profiler, a Scotland Yards investigator, and some of the country’s top experts in crime scenes, autopsies, handwriting analysis, and speech patterns are re-working the case using modern technology.
And according to retired FBI agent James Fitzgerald, who is leading the investigation, the group has unanimously concluded that there is one primary suspect in the case.
Sponsored: Did Obama just declare war?
Did you know president Obama publicly declared war on Alzheimer’s disease in June of 2010?
By signing the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) into law, he created a massive nationwide task force of scientists and researchers under the direction of Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius. They got millions in funding, and a green light for hundreds of new studies…
And in September of 2014, one of those studies hit it big – but the Obama regime isn’t telling anyone about it.
Using a completely new kind of “protocol,” researchers from the UCLA Neurology Department have been REVERSING Alzheimer’s disease in 90% of patients.
Yet the Obama administration is ignoring this research. Why?

The Ramsey murder has captivated America for the better part of two decades. The mishandling of the case by Boulder police, the contamination of the crime scene, a suspicious ransom note, and the apparent hesitation of parents John and Patsy Ramsey to cooperate with authorities have all led to rampant speculation.
In the first part of the series, investigators concluded that the ransom note allegedly left at the Ramseys’ house was not legitimate, that JonBenet was beaten to death (probably with a flashlight) and not strangled, and that the Ramseys’ son, Burke, may not have been in bed during the morning of December 26, 1996, as both he and his parents have claimed.
The entire Ramsey family has been under a cloud of suspicion for years, although they have maintained their innocence and there are a couple of significant outside suspects.
Now, the investigators are ready to pin the murder on one individual. What happens next is anyone’s guess.

The Boulder police back in time of murder, remind me of The Keystone Cops, they had no idea what they were doing, not even a clue,, if they had aGOOD bunch of police officer that some mentality , they could have solved this terrible crime, no doubt about it!!!!!
Yep, they screwed it up for sure…
I WATCHED JUST YESTERDAY THEY ARE BLAMING THE MOTHER BECAUSE THE LITTLE GIRL WAS STILL HAVING ACCIDENTS IN HER BED. THAT’S A HARD ONE TO BELIEVE.
I agree with you Doris a Brown I know it’s the mother that did it. She put the little girl under so much pressure with the beauty contest, it’s a lot of pressure, My daughter did it for awhile and got tired of. How can a mother kill their own daughter. She’s very sick.
Not if the mother’s a nut case, Doris.
We need a team of experts to decipher what Helen said?
Not really…if you’re old enough; if not, then maybe such a team would be required.
This case was as badly handled as the Simpson case that just won 5 awards for the movie of it – will the next big movie be the Ramsey case?
That whole Simpson show was a farce, he got away with Murder and everyone knows it.
Take a look at John DuPont who murdered the Olypic wrestling coach, he was never arrested like the ordinary everyday person would if they committed a murder, he never had a trial, was not in jail, the DuPont family has kept John DuPont out of the spotlight and protected because they are old money, while O.J.Simpson is new money, he’s in prison in Nevada for life of a crime to get his sports memorabilia back which backfired on him and he was charged with Stupidity and is serving life for Stupidity. Plus don’t forget the Clinton body count of people the media said were mysterious disappearances and suicides when the weren’t, the Clinton’s are getting away with it, old money John DuPont was just tapped on the hand was
all he got. Being a political crook and born into old money-you have rights, new money like Ed Skakel, O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake have to pay their dues.
One of the investigator’s findings were totally ignored due to the Boulder PD’s failure to objectively investigate the case, wanting to pin it on the Ramseys…and only on the Ramses, and not doing a thorough investigation.
Probably too many people have died for the mystery to ever be solved.
Burke Ramsey appears to smile all the time because he’s just one of those people who appears to be smiling all the time. Take a look at John Ramsey, his father does the same thing.
Burke Ramsey does not smile because he is anxious, nervous or is guilty of anything !
I have contended from the time the news broke that the son killed her. Why you may ask. Hyper jealousy. He was always in the back ground while Jon Benet was always in the limelight. I’m certain he felt unloved and was starved for attention. I believe one of the parents wrote the note to throw the suspicion off of the young boy. Remember the ransom was for exactly $18,000 dollars the exact amount of John Ramsey’s Christmas bonus. Who but family would have known that ? He admitted his mother was screaming and yelling about Jon Benet missing and as he said he just stayed in bed. How many of you would just lay in bed while your mother was going crazy over her missing toy. You’d have to get up and see what all the commotion was about ! I know I would. There were no tracks in the snow leading to anywhere around the house. The killer HAD to have been inside the whole time. And after watching “Smiley” Burke Ramsey in the Dr. Phil interview my decision about who killed Jon Benet was confirmed. No doubt it was an inside job !!!!
I don’t think the son killed her, he was a frail young boy, no strength to do to her what they claim happened. I think there was an accident and they made it look like a murder to cover up.
He hit her in the head with the flashlight. They set up a dummy with a child’s head and had a 10 year old boy hit it and he cracked the skull. So I believe the brother hit her and it killed her so mom and dad tried to make it look like something else happened.
Yea, that stay in bed story didn’t set with me either. Kids are curious. With all that was going on I don’t believe he would of stayed in bed.
THE ONLY PERSON IT COULD HAVE BEEN OR HAD A REASON WOULD BE THE BROTHER, SIMPLE JEALOUSY OVER ALL THE ATTENTION THE GIRL WAS GETTING. WOULDBE MY GUESS.
the problem with that is that DNA found in her underwear and on her clothing does not match any ot the Ramseys.
Don’t confuse all these experts with facts!!!
what we can not explain we ignore.
I don’t know how there couldn’t of been DNA on the underwear. The mother would fold them or housekeeper if she did laundry. I think that was a cover up. They never said there was anybody else’s DNA on it.
I doubt if the brother could keep that secret for all this time.
EXACTLY right! The brother, Burke Ramsey, killed his little sister, Jon-Benet Ramsey, because he was jealous of all the attention she was getting.
what about the ransom money for $118.000 thousand only two people would have known that and that
was exactly the amount of money that the father was going to receive for his bonus? I guess his
boss at work would have known that also
I watched all the new evidence last night. There was no one named. She did not die by strangulation. She died by being hit in the head with a flashlight. They said it is believed to have been a man. Not a child. The ransom note was to long. All could have been said in 4 sentences. It is believed to have been staged. There is still no indictment. Supposedly still no conclusions 20 years later. People are now being interviewed that were never interviewed before. I’m not getting my hopes up on this one. They also said there was a grand jury indictment for both parents and it was not enforced. Still no answers people.
A simple list of Christmas gifts distributions for the immediate entire family (including both ‘to’ & ‘from’ data) just MIGHT be somewhat enlightening as far as any possible ‘proverbial straw’ implicating the brother…but, maybe not. It would be circumstantial at best.
I have always thought the same thing!
I will be watching the second part report tonight. So sad.
Another example of how “Liberal/Progressives” can screw up a state.
Colorado is not a liberal progressive state. So get off of it. First it was called a kidnapping, FBI are called in. Then the body is found and it is moved to a homicide and given over to the Boulder police department. FBI now off the case. It is a real screwed up investigation? If its on tonight watch it. The brother is not a suspect.
I watched that so-called documentary & it was apparent from the git go they were gunning for the Ramsey family. They didn’t even consider that it might have been an outsider who murdered little Jon Benet. I hope they do find out who did this to that child.
Supposedly focusing on the outsiders tonight. I guess we’ll see… -Kevin
With the body still present in the house, that would fit the federal crime statistics data base.
Perhaps the mother’s actions were as suspect as the fact that there were no footprints in the snow outside the house suggesting that someone inside the house was responsible. Kind of like one of those locked room mysteries where a suspect tries to convince the police that “someone outside the locked room did it”.
The ‘no foot prints in the snow’ theory was debunked several years ago. The window that some now believe was used by the intruder had no snow around it or even close at that time. There were several other windows sans snow around them as well.
There was no snow that day.
On Dr. Phil’s Interview with Burke it showed pics that proved there was no snow on the ground!! That was made up. Just a little, that was all but melted. Maybe it’ll show those pics again tonight.
The Handyman did IT!! Botched kidnapping led to murder by Strangulation +-Obvious??
the outsider would had to know how much money the father was going to get for his bonus
which was $118.000 dollars that’s how much that ransom note was for it would have to be
someone who knew how much money the father was going to receive for his bonus which
included his wife himself who knows whether the son knew how much but his boss at work
knew and who know who else knew.
It appeared last night that the report is leaning toward the then-nine year old brother being the one who hit the little girl on the head with the flashlight and that the mother covered it up by penning the ransom note, staging the gruesome murder, and fooling the police.
Yes, this is the simplest explanation of everything. But, Patsy would have had to be a very strange person to tie that elaborate knot and make the garrote and then wind it around her precious daughter’s neck, all to protect the name of her son. He would not have been charged as he was a minor. And it would have been easier for Patsy to make the death look like an accident than to come up with this elaborate ruse. Did Patsy know how to make knots like that one? Did she have previous mental problems? The boy was interviewed without his parents soon after the girl’s death. it seems as if the investigators would have gotten a good idea then if he had been involved? Of course, the murderers had to have intimate knowledge of the Ramseys to compose that letter and know the house so well. If the murder scene wasn’t staged, then I’d think that Mr. Ramsey’s employees, babysitters for the kids, and the housekeeper’s family would be the most probable suspects. Did Patsy or John take lie detector tests? Dr. Phil intereviewed her brother recently? What did he conclude? I’d like to know more about Patsy to find out her mental history. Also, has Burke ever exhibited violent tendencies?
Did anyone think about having the hand writing analysed of the pen written ransom note.
Personally, I think the weird son did it and the Ramsey’s covered it up, although only the people involved will ever really know.
Looks should not convict a person, but the look in this kids eyes, the smirk on his face, his complete disconnect from his sister and the pain his parents went through is extremely hard to embrace. Perhaps the Ramsey’s just didn’t want to lose two kids, but I think the son is a sociopath.
A sociopath can be defined as a person who has Antisocial Personality Disorder. This disorder is characterized by a disregard for the feelings of others, a lack of remorse or shame, manipulative behavior, unchecked egocentricity, and the ability to lie in order to achieve one’s goals.
That sums up the son and his bizarre actions and attitudes
My god! You’ve described Hillary!
EXACTLY Gary! 😉
you got that right!!!!!!!!
You are right and she did hit Bill on his head at one time. Hillary and Bill have a lot of DEAD people that worked under them.
TRUMP addressed every issue I am concerned about. Government not telling the truth about borders. Illegals.
Amen.
Lol true!!!
Yes, and the Feds aren’t going after her either. And there is proof about what she has done.
Gary that is too funny, thanks for the laugh
Oh yea was she [Hillary] in Colorado that night ?
I totally agree with you! Very well said. It stated that it definely could have been a child
You nailed it. Think the son is guilty too. Everything points to him and the parents protected him.
Oh and it describes Obama and Hillary to a tee
I’m going to guess the brother was involved in the crime, although an outsider my have carried out the murder.
Having watched the 1st half of the Doc., I was amazed that the room of experts did not mention fingerprints from the flashlight or consider someone had placed a thin cloth over the flashlight, if it was the instrument of death. As well, no mention of fingerprints from broken window.
WILL AMERICA HIRE THESE INVESTIGATORS AND MAYBE , THEY CAN FIND OUT WHO OBAMA REALLY IS AND ALSO THE COMMITTED CRIMES HE AND HILLARY AND ALL THE CRONIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE INCLUDING THE HIRE IN ISLAMIC MUSLIM GENERALS WHO IS IN FAVOR OF THE ENEMIES. WHY IS OBAMA’S WIFE HAVING SO MANY MAIDS THAT ARE NOTHING BUT MUSLIMS AND BLACK PANTHERS.
this is the best comment on this rag Joe, this whole month. this is for political discussions, that little girl that was murdered in cold blood or hot blood, should be discussed on a crime sheet, and you probably will never catch the murderer if you are broadcasting all your info.
You have to remember, Michelle is living in house slaves built.
Change! Obama Muslim dictator and his Muslim buddies have been in WH too long.
TRUMP will clean house. GOP better back him or I won’t be voting Republican again or for any of them. Especially McCain.
I have been watching on dr Phil. Will be watching 2 part series as well so sad. It dragged on for all these years the family suffered. And Mrs Ramsey Now DECEASED.
Brenda…Watching the 60 minutes discussion last night reminded me of a pack of coyotes viciously tearing the flesh of the family. I don’t know if I’m the only one, but it made me wonder about the so-called investigator’s motive. I feel sorry for the family and what they’ve been through.
When you go over ALL the evidence, again and again, sadly it brings you back to the conclusion that this horrific murder was some kind of inside job. One new thing I learned from this current team is that Patsy Ramsey had a college degree in Journalism. She was a WRITER. Hence, this explains for me the ransom note. That note is so beyond overdone, so “out there,” that it has to be a work of fiction. Patsy wrote that note. And it would appear that it is likely brother Burke may be the one who struck the fatal blow. While these speculations would fit into the scenario of the inside job, basically it is still ASTOUNDING that a lie like this could be covered up, hidden, and carried on all this time. Yet, there is something strange about Burke. Always has been. As for that unidentified DNA, this is the biggest question and mystery that still remains in this case. But given the way the crime scene was so contaminated the morning of, who knows what might have happened? For many years I did think it could have been an intruder, owing to much of what Lou Smit came up with during HIS investigation. But seriously, I’d just love to see this case SOLVED, for that precious little girl. Such a sad, horrible thing that happened to her. If Burke did it, even accidentally when he was only 9 years old, I still want to hear him CONFESS. Tell us what happened, for God’s Sake. Then perhaps JonBenet can rest. Poor child.
My thoughts are that that mr smile burk knows more then what he’s saying, i really wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the one named…….
I thought that the brother hit her in the head and she fell down the stairs breaking her neck. The family came up with the staging to cover what happened. Think about it, the father knew right where to go and find her then ruined the scene by picking her up and bringing her upstairs. The actual “crime” scene was messed up by the father making evidence collecting extremely difficult. I saw an investigative TV show where a handwriting analyzer worked on that note. He said he could not rule Patty Ramsey out so what does that say?
When ‘all’ is revealed tonight, and evidence is stated without benefit of accused’s counsel review prior to air time, you will have a weak case to begin with. That’s always a problem with these shows.
Typical of the Press and News Media to drag a tragic issue out to no end all for coverage to make them look good.
Either give a position on the case and take the suspense away then forget about your pocket books. Too tragic
an issue to play the public ant longer.
The ‘no foot prints in the snow’ theory was debunked several years ago. The window that some now believe was used by the intruder had no snow around it or even close at that time. There were several other windows sans snow around them as well.
In an interview with the father recently, he stated, that he had broken the window when he had locked himself out of the house. He had forgotten to have it repaired since it was in the basement.
After watching seemingly endless coverage of this miserable crime, I am now of the opinion that there are two very strong suspects both of whom are now deceased. It really doesn’t look like any of the Ramsey’s are responsible. On one of the more recent shows DNA was discussed at great length and I was shocked to hear how far advanced we are from even 5 to 10 years ago. The retired detective who really led the way on the intruder theory, had a spreadsheet with only about 30 names left on it which he believed contained the killer’s name. He worked on this case literally until the week that he died. He, along with others, believed that DNA will solve this case. I really hope so. It seems like this might be our last chance…
The murder case of this little girl reminds me of the Hillary Clinton’s on going corruption case. A mouth can only hold so many lies. This is nothing more than another covered up case. The money talks. You can do anything when you have the money to play the crime and the media game to suit yourself.
Unless there is a confession, only your God will ever know who killed Jon Benet, … what is your opinion?
I’m taping. Maybe it will influence or shed light. But I’ve thought from get go this child was made a stand out target for society…tiny thing was pushed and exploited into playing a grown-up female role of cultivated sex appeal, red lipstick & all that set off all my alarm and outrage buttons of a victimized for profit child. Brother and husband were obviously robbed of normal family status and mother/wife attention with Mom’s fixation & obvious obsession. And the Mom’s calculated cultivation and broadcast of a child sex symbol draws pervert attention, as well as hate from competing children & their families who just wanted their talented little girl to get some confidence in being themselves. Little Ramsey was pushed into being a target for the whole conglomerate of society, moral & immoral, so does it really matter who acted first?
I don’t know about your email of this article but mine indicated suspect to be named…this article does not name a suspect it simply says one would be named. I didn’t find anything more in it than what has already been shown on TV.
Hillary or Obama ? Come on. We all know it’s one or the other. Come on. Tell us.
How long is the statue of limitations waiting to come in?
Lois Wenk-
You probably know this already, but there is no statute of limitation on murder. If a child killed someone when he or she was 5 years old, and they’re not arrested ’til they’re 95, they can still be prosecuted by a human court.
Curiously, there’s no statute of limitations on fraud, either, meaning that D’OweBama can still be arrested and prosecuted for as long as he lives…
Thomas…very funny comment!!! Mean that..Isn’t it the truth that news is so obsessively engrossed in political attack blaming “the other Party” you’re expecting Hillary or Trump to be blamed in the media for little Ramsey’s murder.
It is not uncommon but a long time practice that the police are reluctant to accuse or prosecute wealthy and prominent people, period. This has been going as standard practice in many cases. The more money they have or the more connections and status, the more they shy away from accusing them because they can afford to hire the best lawyers in the nation and it can take years to solve the case if ever. Like Patsy Ramsey said, people can get away with murder in America. Look at the Clinton Foundation and the fact that for decades, the Congress, Senate, FBI, even today are reluctant to investigate and hold them accountable for the list of alleged crimes laid out by the FBI Director and agreed to by the USAG, but they both refused to send the case to the Grand Jury. Nothing new…..wherever, wealth, connections, power and control are involved. That poor child….
After watching the conclusion of the program last night, and even playing back those interviews with Burke, it kind of felt like a great big elephant in the room. Meaning that there is a great big something this child was keeping to himself, with the aid of his parents. Burke being the killer explains ALL of this stuff, and the Henry Lee DNA segment does conceivably explain the “unidentified DNA” on the panties. It also explains what John & Patsy were doing all along, protecting their remaining child. While I do not agree with what they did, I understand it. Also, to hear a couple of tidbits about Burke, and some of his odd behaviors, including the fact that he put feces in JonBenet’s bed and on her toys on more than one occasion, is a HUGE RED FLAG. This child had some serious psychological issues. The statement was made on the program that Burke had a “history of psychiatric problems” as a child. IMO, no other killer has ever been found, even with that DNA, because there is NO OTHER KILLER TO FIND. The theory and solution of the investigators who made this program does make sense. Despite Burke appearing on Dr. Phil and supposedly being all “normal,” this still does not mean that the killer of JonBenet Ramsey has not finally been revealed. And yet, because of the weird twists and turns this situation has taken over the years, who knows what else might come down the pipe? Poor little girl, so precious, lost forever. She would 26 years old now, perhaps with her own family. That makes all of this SO MUCH SADDER.
Burke killed Jonbenet due to a jealous rage that was brewing for a long time. Pasty made up the entire plot an Jon went along with the plot. The upper enforcement officers, Burke an Jon need to be crucified for this little girls life. Man they all join the
deceased Patsy in HELL !!!!
