very successful businessman he was the president of access Graphics a computer service company but despite the demands of his work however he was a loving father who cherished his children and John Benet had a very vibrant personality from a very young aged and loved performance and given her mother's background in the pageantry scene it's unsurprising that John Benet would enter the world of child beauty pageant dominating the scene in Colorado when her family relocated and py had a very firm hand on John B's pageantry driving participation and deeply involving herself in all aspects of her
performances py would design costumes and choreograph her routines as well so she would basically coach and train her daughter for these pageants and John banet had a knack for pageantry she was very outgoing and confident possessing many characteristics that helped her excel at these shows and py would just nurture these traits in JN banet and by the age of six JN banet had earned several notable titles in the child beauty pageant circuits she was little Miss Colorado Little Miss Sher Lao Colorado State Allstar kids Covergirl America's Royal Miss and National tiny Miss Beauty and I
won't go too much into my opinion of child pageants but I myself don't love the idea of a little child being dressed up like a uh woman a provocative woman I don't think it invites the right people inside and I don't think I think it makes kids grow up faster than they're supposed to but that is just my opinion and that's all I'm going to say about that and that that is that but John and paty had their daughter who was excelling in her passion and they also had a son named Burke the quieter sibling
between the two and Burke was more reserved than John Benet despite being 3 years older he didn't have aspirations of fame or glamour at all and Burke and John B supposedly enjoyed a typical sibling relationship with the usual sibling conflicts quarrels and shared it activities and Burke may have been the sibling that John banet was closest in age with but Burke was not the only other child in the house J B and Burke had two half siblings and these siblings were from their father's first marriage Melinda and John Andrew were a bit older than Burke
and Jean banet John Andrew being born in 1976 he was 14 years older than Jean banet and 11 years older than Burke and Melinda was born in 1972 and was about 18 years older than Jean Benet and 15 years older than Burke and they also had another half sibling named Elizabeth Ramsay who was the first child of John's marriage though she sadly passed away from a car accident in 1992 4 years before the death of John Benet but from the outside the ramies were the picture perfect family with everything going for them they had many
beautiful children one becoming an unprecedented rise to fame and success and many beautiful memories being made sorry I got to put my glasses on I can't read I can't read and they lived in a beautiful home due to John's success es with his business and their home had three levels with the third floor belonging to John and py they had two bathrooms on their floor a sizable closet their dressing room and a personal fireplace in their massive bedroom and all the children lived on the second floor of the family home with the daughters on one
side of the floor and the sons on the other with the children's playroom separating the two halves and from all appearances the Ramsay family seemed pretty wealthy though in a recent interview John Benet argued against his family's betray in the media as Rich he says they didn't consider themselves Rich despite his business selling and seeing more money than he'd ever thought he'd ever have because he just kept working so I guess he didn't think he was rich because he kept working and he also had more money than he ever thought he'd had which I get
that to a certain degree you know if you're still working does that really mean that you're rich I don't know like what else are you supposed to do I guess I don't know but he and his family were portrayed as Rich because his company reported 1 billion in gross revenue uh but we were portayed as I was president of a a company that had done a billion dollars in Revenue we were a distributor look like a grocery store you got to sell a lot of milk and eggs to make a little bit of money and
that was the kind of business we're in so in our industry that was not a huge business and John was even named entrepreneur of the year in 1995 by Boulder Colorado Chamber of Commerce so i' I'd say um you're pretty you're pretty rich and successful but I think they just didn't like being portrayed as this like Rich pompous family who didn't like their children like this is you know backing on to like Menendez brothers like Rich type family just portrayed poorly among the press and among the public but this picture perfect life would come crashing
down on one night of the year that was supposed to be filled with the most cheer it was Christmas Day 1996 and all seemed well John Benet and her older brother Burke spent part of the day opening presents and later in the evening the family planned to attend a Christmas party hosted by their friends Fleet and Priscilla white and it would be late when the family returned and put their children to bed so it is important to note that John Ramsay was the one to put John Benet to bed that night and the following morning
at 5:30 a.m. py would wake up and start her day and she would head downstairs but before she made it halfway down she encountered three pieces of paper lying on the stairs and upon reading it her heart would drop it was a ransom note for $118,000 for her daughter Shan b r Ramsey and she would quickly Rush upstairs to her daughter's room only to find her missing from her bed and at 5:52 a.m. jeanan Ramsey was reported missing to authorities and the hunt began and I think it's important to read this Ransom note if you
haven't heard it I'm sure a lot of you have but I think it's very relevant because from what it says and how everything else went down it's very strange it's very strange to say the least so I am going to read The Ransom note for you to pick apart yourself and for me to also pick apart throughout the rest of this video Mr Ramsey listen carefully we are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction we do respect your business but not the country that it serves at this time we have your daughter
in our possession She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997 you must follow our instructions to the letter you will withdraw $118,000 from your account $100,000 will be in $100 B bills and the remaining $18,000 in $20 bills make sure you bring an adequate size atach to the bank when you get home you will put the money in a brown paper bag I will call you between 8: and 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to instruct you on delivery the delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested if we monitor
you getting the money early we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery on the money and hence a earlier delivery pickup of your daughter any deviation of my instructions will result in immediate EX ution of your daughter you will also be denied her remains for proper burial the two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly like you so I advise you not to provoke them speaking to anyone about your situation such as the police FBI Etc will results in your daughter being beheaded if we catch you talking to a stray dog she
dies if you alert Bank Authorities she dies if the money is in any way marked or tampered with she dies you will be scanned for electronic devices and if any are found she dies you can try to deceive us but be warned that we are familiar with the law enforcement countermeasures and tactics you stand a 99% chance of killing your daughter if you try to outsmart us follow our instructions and you stand a 100% chance of getting her back you and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities don't try to grow
a brain John you are not the only fat cat around so don't think that killing will be difficult don't underestimate us John use that good Southern common sense of yours it is up to you now John Victory c b t c yeah so I the note is and I I won't get into it too much now but very long very long and very very well written whoever wrote this is very well read but there are a couple spelling mistakes here and there and I personally noticed some odd things throughout as well that I haven't actually
necessarily seen other people talk about which I will talk about as well as we get into it uh but do with that which you will with the note and we will get into the rest of the video so when investigators arrived at the Ramsay residence because paty did call the police after reading this they immediately began to ask questions and investigate the note the first details noticed is that it was all handwritten using Psy's notepad and Sharpie from within the home and I personally can't imagine having a killer in your home sitting on your furniture
while you're sleeping writing a note before coming up stairs to take your child it sounds like a nightmare and it sounds very odd in total FBI investigators estimated that the person would have spent 21 minutes inside the home writing which seemed really implausible because if they were after juman they would have most likely been in and out as not to get caught and the notes stated not to call the police or jeanet would be hurt but py called anyway and later that morning two police officers arrived at the residence to investigate the home and upon
arrival the police officers determined that there was Zero evidence to suggest that there was any forced entry there were no footprints in the snow outside unidentical fingerprints or tool marks near the doors or Windows meaning the person either had access to the home or was from the home or perhaps the ramsy family just never locked their doors and one of the officers actually tried to get in the basement but found that the door to the basement was locked from the inside not allowing them to investigate at the moment and after finding no initial evidence investigators
were called in and at 8:00 a.m. investigator Linda AR arrived at the home and began to work and the first thing that she noted was that the parents paty and John were not standing near each other and purposely avoiding each other which she found extremely odd for grieving parents and Fleet and Priscilla had come over after py had called them and helped search the home the the civilians helped search the home what's going on I know it's a different time but it was you know we're getting into the late '90s at this point we know
how to do searches it's very strange and at about 10:00 a.m. Fleet made it into the basement and discovered that the lights were already on and that the door to the wine seller was already open he looked around some more and found a broken window that was open that John claimed he had broke months ago but just neglected to fix and many speculated that this is where the assant might have entered and exited into the home avoiding any evidence of forced entry upstairs however the grime and cobwebs on the window sill showed that nobody had
come through there recently which I think is very important and and very obvious plus there were no Footprints exiting or entering near the window from the outside but still people were convinced because directly underneath the window was a suitcase that had scuff marks along the top which to be fair could have come from anything at any point of the life of that suitcase and some people believe that whoever killed jeanet stepped down onto to the suitcase and entered the home that way also all around the basement were footprints found with the mold of a men's
high tech brand Boot and John Ramsay didn't own a pair of these shoes and to this day many believe this belonged to the murderer and investigators also learned that neighbors claimed that they saw lots of activity in the ramsy household past midnight and one neighbor Melody an Staten claimed to have heard John Benet Ramsay screaming for her life she said quote unquote I heard a terrible sound it was the longest most horrible scream I have heard in my entire life it sent shivers down my spine I could tell the sound was coming from the ramsy
house and I knew instantly it had to be their little girl but then I realized John and py were home so whatever it was that caused their little girl to scream they were there to take care of it and another neighbor Scott Gibbons claimed to see dim lights flashing around in the Ramsay kitchen from his kitchen window but what's interesting about that is if the neighbors were to hear a scream that loud it's it's weird that nobody in the house heard that scream because from what we know they didn't hear it and that they woke
up to John Benet being completely gone so that's also something I find very odd and continuing their search investigator still found no evidence and no John Benet so they asked again for John Ramsay and some other family friends who had come over to the home to search the house to see if they could find any information which is horrible police work to have the public just coming in and and looking for evidence I don't even understand how this was a thing and at about 1: p.m. John Ramsay would enter make his way down and make
his way to the open wine cellar and to his horror there lay the deceased body of his six-year-old daughter John Benet and her body would be covered with a blanket and her mouth was covered with duct tape and her hands were tied to her neck by some nylon and other odd evidence included the fact that John banet was found next to a hidden floor safe that was covered in dust with a top plate but it was partially a jar as if someone tried to open it and after finding his daughter deceased John Ramsey would pick
her up from the crime scene and walk her upstairs completely ruining any evidence that was at the crime scene or tampering with it at the least but I mean to play Devil's Advocate I mean you're father and you find your daughter deceased and I think the last thing you're thinking about is how to preserve evidence so I will I will give him that and I think in in interview he did he did mention that he thought he could still maybe save her um so I know a lot a lot of people scrutinize that and it's
unfortunate um but it is what it is and the initial autopsy report found that the cause of death was expiation by strangulation associated with cranial trauma as if she got hit on the head with something and a Garrett made of nylon cord and a paintbrush handle was used for the strangulation and the paintbrush handle used in the Garrett wire came from Patsy's art supplies but the bottom third of the brush was never found and inside John benet's stomach was a partially digested pineapple which meant she had clearly eaten a few hours before her death and
in the kitchen a bowl containing pieces of pineapple was found with paty's fingerprints on it yet neither py or John remembered giving jamban any food after they arrived home so a massive list of suspects was constructed reaching over 1,600 people and paty and John were obviously the first two suspects due to the evidence found in their home and because of their odd behavior however DNA evidence quickly ruled them out at the time but this didn't convince everyone cuz during the investigation there were numerous mistakes and broken protocols that made the case even harder to solve
pieces of evidence were lost like when the family friends started to use spray cleaner on the kitchen counters or when they sealed off John benet's bedroom leaving the rest of the home completely open for family and friends even though John Benet was found in the basement and was numerous pieces of evidence found throughout the home it's just like insane to me that that this happened and the evidence that did survive was mislabeled and during the investigation confidential evidence was shared with the ramsy family and friends present at the home and overall there was just a
poor investigation of the home by police and detectives and because of this two parties formed one was the DA's office and detective L Smith who believed that the evidence found alluded to an outside party being responsible for John benet's death and the other party was Boulder Colorado Police Department which believed that the ramies were responsible and this led the Colorado governor to initiate a grand jury to decide whether or not the ramies should go to court for the death of their daughter and on September 15th 1998 the grand jury met and in early 1999 created
a charge against the Ramsay for child endangerment resulting in death where both parents knowingly or recklessly put John B ramsy in a dangerous situation that led to her death and obstruction of justice where both parents helped someone avoid being caught or punished for crimes including murder and child abuse resulting in death however the family would not be prosecuted because the district attorney believed that there was no way to prove that the Ramsay's guilt with 100% certainty and since then there has been no major evidence found and no suspects have ever been brought into custody and
even with the advances in DNA and forensic technology the old samples collected from the crime scene remained unidentified and to this day the two camps still exist but prosecutors are leaning more towards the ramsy family being guilty and in recent years investigators have criticize the first detectives and officers who worked on the case for exonerating the ramsy so early on believing it damaged the Integrity of the case for future investigators and the case is still open as the Boulder police search to find the killer of John Ben Ramsey so let's go through some of the
theories and suspects the first one is that the parents did it allegedly this isn't me this is me just talking about other people's theories so the 911 call on December 26 had paty Ramsey calling the police saying that her daughter had been kidnapped and stating that she was 6 years old and sounding very frantic on the phone and she stated that her daughter had been missing and that she had a ransom note that was left signed by sbtc Victory 911 emergency police 55 15th Street what's going on there ma' we have a kidnapping H right
pleas explain to me what's going on okay there we have a there's a note left and our daughter's gone a note was left and your daughter is gone how old is your daughter 6 years old she's gone 6 years old how long ago was this I don't know I just found the note and my daughter say who took her what does it say who I don't know there there's a ransom note here it's a ransom note it says sbtc Victory and after the investigation opened to the kidnapping the 911 operator felt that the call seemed
rehearsed and investigators also broke down the call stating her word choice and deliberate speech also sound rehearsed and when she explained that there was a kidnapping she said we have a kidnapping which is just a very odd phrase to use when your daughter's been kidnapped and the phone call was also enhanced in different ways and with the end of the phone call after she put the phone down hearing how could you do that [Applause] py and although this evidence is is inconclusive and could be labeled as a pure assumption um I've listened to it and
it's kind of hard because after you know what somebody thinks that they said that's kind of all you hear but we we really don't know that that is also just like a a blatant like theory that that's the people think but I'm not claiming that that is what she said and the evidence at the scene of the crime of John benet's murder led to the investigation of the ransom note and this would lead to paty and John Ram becoming suspects in the crime the random note being handwritten and unusually lengthy according to investigators and to
make matters worse the paper for the note was taken from paty's own notepad and her own Sharpie was used as well as we discussed earlier and this led the forensic team to believing that the note was written inside the residence which would be an unnecessary risk for an intruder to feel inclined to do so and experts like retired FBI supervisor special agent Jim Clement and other other experts estimated the note would have taken around 21 minutes to write that's a really long time that is just shy of half an hour of sitting in the house
writing this note when you're about to commit an insane crime that could put you in jail forever basically but again it just paints The Narrative of an intruder unlikely as to not wasting time to put themselves into danger of being found and they also noted that the ransom note had unique and specific words misspelled such as possession and business and according to forensic Linguistics expert James Fitzgerald the spelling could have been deliberate or a cover to hide the actual suspect's identity cuz John and paty Ramsay were all very well educated attending so-called big state schools
those schools being Michigan State and West Virginia University which showed they wouldn't misspell such simple words however with investigators supposing that these words were deliberately misspelled suspicion pointed back on the two doing this to hide behind their education and Fitzgerald would also notice another detail with the handwriting stating that the font style printing had generally a feminine trait drawing similarities to paty's own personal handwriting including font style and printing as well I have combed through these letters uh they like the amount I've looked at this like I am a freaking forensic linguistic expert which I'm
not at all but I feel like I want to like look at it with you guys and I just want to make some notes that I found that some of them have been obviously caught by experts but some of them I I don't know why but I couldn't find the certain thing that I personally noticed but I thought you know is kind of relevant we look at the actual Ransom note and like what they're saying it has you know the kind of deliberate looking squiggles in it at the beginning it kind of gets better throughout
the end as if almost the whoever is writing it kind of gave up on trying to mask what it was to be honest um but one thing I noticed like they they say that the E look really similar uh to py and the perpetrator who wrote this Ransom note and and other letters as well but I I found that the A's were very interesting because throughout the ransom note you see the perpetrator doing these types of A's a lot like in the beginning we see it here and here and here and you kind of just
see them throughout you see the a change like right here into just you know your regular a and I noticed that that whoever wrote this kind of stops at one point and goes back to the regular a and then switches to the other a which is odd it's not a very common thing to do so I found that while I was looking at the ransom note and I was like well whoever wrote this really likes to use both A's and if you're just listening and can't see what I'm showing right now I'm talking about more
of a a cursive a and then just your regular a that looks like an o with a little tail off of it and then I looked at uh Mrs Ramsay's writing and by God I found the same similarity which I found very interesting we see here that she's using the uh second a mostly especially at the beginning she she doesn't screw up there but then we get to the second paragraph and we see the first a right here changed to the other a which is very odd I just found that very odd and then she
switches back to the other a and then she goes back to the other a like in bank here I mean I'm sure that there's been lots of forensic uh people that have already picked up on that because I'm just a mere person who looked at it for like an hour but it's just a very interesting uh similarity and maybe it has nothing to do with anything and I'm just a stupid YouTuber and what do I know probably nothing and then they also got her to do uh individual words that were on the ransom note which
was uh interesting and you see that she doesn't stray from using the same a uh she uses the same a throughout all of them and then also in her just random other letter that they took she does the same thing where she's using two different A's and I just find that so weird anyway that's my little a I'm just Canadian I just like saying a that's my little a theory that's uh just strange just a little bit strange you know but anyway the suspicions were adding up and not only was the note written from inside
the house and the handwriting was strikingly similar to p PSIs but the actual tone of the words were very interesting because it apparently had less emotion than conventional Anonymous threats since it lacked any adjectives or emphasis on Words that would need to be there to threaten or strike fear into the reader like why wouldn't a kidnapper threaten the victim's family in order to cause them to comply better and it's pointed yet again at the Ramsay because was there actually a real threat and if there wasn't it makes sense that this note was written kind of
like so like L fair you know cuz if they already knew that their daughter wasn't actually kidnapped and wasn't actually going to get killed because she was actually already murdered why would they put emphasis into like emotional tones in the ransom note but this is again all alleged I'm not saying anything but it's just a note so with the lack of emotional tone the note taking too long to be written by a rushed Intruder written on the same notebook and Sharpie from inside the house and the handwriting also being suspicious the conclusion that the parents
staged a false note is more than likely however it is not confirmed and all of this pretty much eliminated JN from being a suspect of writing the ransom note but py was not and her handwriting was compared to the note where police asked for a sample of her writing the note herself to compare to which we saw earlier when I went on my little a rant and the investigators and police would later question py for 6 and 1/2 hours with her husband John only being interviewed for two and the transcript for their talk is insanely
long but I read it I did read it and a lot of it just goes over um like who they are what the like who where they came from they literally just went through their whole history who they knew how they were connected going through everything um but her story kind of had a lot of weird details and it sounded like lots of lawyer directed responses such as glossing over the details that the note came from Psy's own notepad but again nothing ever came of that and she died an innocent woman so it is what
it is and that is you're innocent until proven guilty that brings us to the brother Theory one of the crazier who done it theories to come out of John Benet Ramsay's murder investigation speculates that her brother Burke was the one who killed her whether intentionally or unintentionally again this is a theory but much of the stems from speculation that the two may have had an unfortunate interaction over the midnight pineapple snack so the theory suggests that Burke was having a midnight snack and John Benet took a piece which made Burke upset resulting in him hitting
her over the head with a flashlight a blow that would kill her and it's strictly speculative and that was never a proven fact I just want to make that very very clear but when this Theory began to emerge however it caused people to scrutinize Burke and his past looking for any indication that he had a history of behavior that could be used to prove that something was off about Burke and that he was capable of murder or was at very least mentally ill or disturbed and this Theory reached a fever pitch in 2016 with the
release of CBC documentary the case of John Benet Ramsey and in this documentary a heavy emphasis is placed on Burke being the culprit and former FBI special agent Jim Clement claims in the documentary that Burke had a history of scatological problems meaning that he had an interest in excrement and one example is that he had allegedly smeared feces on John benet's Christmas presents as well as bedroom and bathroom walls and if that were true that would seemingly indicate a history of disturbing acts perpetrated by Burke targeting his younger sister and they continue outlining Burke's history
of Disturbing Behavior and how he could even become violent by sharing an incident when Burke hit John Benet in the face with a golf club resulting in a scar but I couldn't personally find pictures of this so I don't know this for sure did you hit your sister with a golf club not on purpose she was standing behind me and I went little bad and because of these details headlines would state that Burke had done it as if it were a matter of fact even in the documentary itself it was stated pretty plainly that Burke
murdered John banet and Dr wner Spitz a forensic pathologist was quoted saying it's the boy who did it whether he was jealous or mentally unfit or something I don't know the why I'm not a psychiatrist but what I am sure about is what I know about him that's a crazy statement to make with no evidence but because of this documentary and the statements that Burke had killed John Benet Burke sued CBS Dr wner Spitzer and other experts for defamation and CBS was sued for $750 million and SP was sued for $150 million and the lawsuit
was settled out of court with settlement details never being disclosed but I'm guessing he got a pretty fat payout because those are some pretty fat allegations to make against somebody that is currently inocent but supposed evidence that Burke was a killer extended Beyond just the FEC spreading and the golf club hit when investigators both real and fake AKA internet sleuths I don't consider myself an internet sleuth okay they examined interviews of Burke following the death of John Bay more questions were raised about Burke after they all analyzed these and in those clips of Burke from
when he was just 9 years old talking about his sister's death and interacting with investigators who were questioning him he talks and behaves in ways people have called unnatural for someone who lost a sibling you took a KNE out M think that's how she died or maybe and Burke being the Killer is one proposed reason for this while another answer could be that this is just one of an infinite number of ways that children react to trauma and it's not indicative of him being responsible necessarily and the sentiment was echoed by Dr Phil who interviewed
Burke in 2016 in what was Burke's first interview since his sister's death 20 years prior and in that interview Burke seems pretty light-hearted about John benet's death even smirking and smiling while talking to her and that led to more claims that he was responsible though Dr Phil explains that it was nerves and anxiety due to being bur's first time talking about the KN publicly and i' I've watched the whole interview I also watched several um behavioral analysts like experts in the field analyze that specific interview and there was a lot of really interesting notes one
of them noting that they have a strong feeling that he could be autistic it's just a claim that is not something I'm saying it's just something that other experts had opinions on um and his his smiling and his mannerisms could just be a result of him being on the Spectrum but that is not uh concrete so we don't actually know that for sure and then other people say that it's he's deflecting questions and that he's looking away when he's answering things it's a very interesting interview to watch and I don't know you can make your
own theories from watching it obviously again innocent until proven guilty but yeah it's just interesting interesting and I I think that's all I can say did you and she eat pineapple together at any time during the day maybe like I don't remember specifically eating pineapple but very well could have like would you remember eating pineapple 20 years ago like you know but the theory that Burke was responsible also suggests that since Burke killed Jean banet allegedly the parents John and py would have had to cover it up for him and people referen an extended and
enhanced version of the 911 call placed by py as evidence that this was the case and it's speculated that py had believed she'd hung up the phone but didn't and some believe the voices at the end to be paty John and Burke but notably if the voice speculated to belong to Burke is him then it would mean that John and paty had lied to investigators when they said that Burk had slept until the cops arrived and if they lied about one thing then why not all of it and that is once again all speculative and
no charges were ever brought against anyone for the murder of John Benet and Burke has denied his involvement in his sister's death as has his parents both then and now and no matter what anyone says body language and behavioral experts on YouTube continue evaluating interviews to find the truth and people were only critical of the ramsy family for an alleged involvement in John B's murder but it also began to circulate that they had profited off her death as well from the moment John Ben's body was discovered the media zeroed in on the ramies making them
Central characters in an unfolding real life drama and instead of retreating from the spotlight to grieve privately John and paty leaned into the media frenzy they gave really high-profile interviews often controlling the narrative by choosing sympathetic outlets and in 2000 they even wrote a book The Death of innocence and critics argue this wasn't a grieving family seeking answers but a PR campaign disguised as M and the book deal alone likely earned the family a substantial financial compensation so was this a strategy to keep their story and version of the truth in the public eye for
profit some conspiracy theorists claim that the ramsy leveraged the nation's obsession with the case to keep their branded attack despite growing suspicions of their involvement and following the release of their book there was also a string of defamation lawsuits the ramsy filed against tabloids journalists and even law enforc officials who implied that they were guilty which I want to put on the record I am not implying just putting the facts out there that other people said and while the Ramsay claimed that these were about clearing their names Skeptics point out these lawsuits coincided with dwindling
public Sympathy for the family so kind of like perfectly timed lawsuits and Johan's parents Behavior surrounding her death has been extremely strange since day one and it is not really a surprise that people believed that they were were profiting from their daughter daughter's death whether they did anything or they didn't their defense of Nature and eagerness to Sue and to go on interviews do show that they were aware of the amount of attention they were getting and saw the opportunity to become famous and to this day her dad and Burke still do interviews carrying on
John benet's Legacy and there are many media Publications and documentaries made about this case a very recent one it just came out in November 2024 called Cold Case who killed John Benet Ramsay and that's part of the reason why I'm doing this deep dive because I'm just I mean I've heard about this case ever since I was little I was born the same year that John Benet was killed um so I know my mom my parents everyone around me has always been interested in this case and I have heard about it a lot but I
kind of wanted to Deep dive into it myself and and get to know more of it and and and watch this specific documentary and see if there was anything new um but I'll just kind of give you the breeze over version of what the new documentary came out with first of all experts considered the ransom note fake it was one of the primary pieces of evidence dating back to the beginning of the case but this is something that we already discussed so again it's just not new information and then that there was a suitcase below
the basement window and there was also a small piece of glass found on the ground found by the suitcase and Smith apparently even attempted this himself to see if it would have been difficult but he found that lifting the great to get in as well as using the suitcase as a step out would have been easy for the killer but the police at the time didn't pay much attention to this evidence but Lou Smith later proved that the window could have easily been accessed and entered in through the house but then I go back to
the fact that there was like cobwebs and dust on the window sill that were untouched so again not really new evidence and also the autopsy revealed that she had been hit on the head which we already went over and the Boulder Police did not initially check the room where her body was found in their initial search which is really bad just more neglect from the police and in the documentary The it kind of leans towards the Ramsay just being completely innocent and kind of leans toward the narrative that they just feel bad for the parents
and it also goes on to say that the DNA analysis proved that the ramies were not the killer but then later it's shown that the DNA evidence was tampered with so they can't say that definitively either and detective Steve Thomas admitted that the FBI and police fed information to the media Steve Thomas who later wrote a book about how he believed that paty Ramsey to be the killer admitted that the police attempted to force the ramies to speak to them by feeding information to the media and Thomas said he believed paty had gotten angry at
John banet because she wet the bed and injured her in a fit of rage and she then set the crime scene up to make it look like a kidnapping gone wrong and in the docu series JN B stated that his wife had just survived ovarian cancer and was happy to be alive so she would not have been angered by something like wedding the bed and despite detective Thomas repeated assertions that py was the Killer and the newspaper printing information to point in that direction the evidence has never been able to prove that the ramies were
involved there was also allegedly marks on John benet's face and back thought to be left by a stun gun but there's no conclusive evidence one way or another about this and there was also a similar assault case in a nearby neighborhood several months later but the police denied that the two cases were similar in any way and in 2013 it was revealed that the jury voted to indict both parents but the DA office did not pursue it and also the police investigated several other male suspects but all had like airtight aliis and an unknown man
named daxis confessed to the crime and this was after several years he called in and basically detailed of how how he killed her and the man ended up being John Mark Carr who was an elementary school teacher living in Thailand and he had a history of acting strangely towards children though he was never formally convicted and while his phone calls with Tracy outlined how the murder had occurred car ultimately went free because his DNA did not match any DNA found at the scene and experts also questioned DNA at the scene like we already talked about
as well because it had been tampered with and in 2022 the ramsy family petitioned to have the case reexamined but I mean you know if you've if you've seen any other John Benet uh docu series or documentaries I mean I I think it it's an interesting watch um it maybe goes over details that weren't really said in other documentaries but the narrative is kind of pushed towards a more or positive Nar narrative towards the parents in my opinion um but yeah I mean that's all I have for the John B case I I truly do
hope that one day this gets solved because it is just heartbreaking and and so strange and I hope the person that did do it is either burning in Hell or it's burning a whole in is their conscience and eating them alive I guess um but that is it for this video please let me know what other deep Dives you want me to Deep dive into Down Below in the comments and let me know your theories down in the comments below I love reading the comments I answer them I like them even the ones I don't
