Comparing The Kidnapping And Murder Of Jonbenet Ramsey

646 Words3 Pages

Based on the research I have conducted, JonBenet Ramsey may have died as the result of an accident. The staging of the kidnapping and murder were over the top in a very theatrical way. The ransom note was two and a half pages long, written on a notepad with a felt tip marker, both found within the residence (Ross, 2013). The handwritten note would have taken an extraordinary period of time to write, an intruder just having committed a murder would not have taken the time nor the risk to dwell within the residence risking being discovered for that amount of time. A handwriting examination displayed similarities in the ransom letter penmanship and Patsy Ramsey’s penmanship. The letter did not have any fingerprints on it, although we know that …show more content…

Additionally, the same fibers were found tied into the knots of the garrote. Patsy Ramsey was wearing the same clothing on December 26, 1998, as she did the day before implying that she may not have gone to bed the night before. The pineapple found in JonBenet Ramsey’s stomach indicates that she had eaten pineapple just prior to her death. Patsy and John Ramsey were adamant that she had not eaten pineapple, consequently, both Patsy Ramsey and Burke Ramsey’s fingerprints were found on the bowl of pineapple on the dining room table. This establishes a discrepancy in the timeline leading up the discovery of JonBenet Ramsey’s …show more content…

In an effort to protect Burke Ramsey after Patsy and John Ramsey saw that JonBenet Ramsey had succumbed to the injury they fashioned an elaborate plan to cover up her death. The way JonBenet Ramsey was placed within the wine cellar, draped with her blanket, indicated an intimate relationship with the person(s) that placed her there. The elaborate handwritten letter detailing the exact amount of a recent bonus that John Ramsey had received as ransom when he was known to be valued at much more. The letter stated it was from a foreign faction that did not like the American government explaining that their actions were not personal (Ross, 2013). Additionally, the ransom demand would have reasonably been substantially higher if it was, in fact, a terrorist type organization. Burke Ramsey was too young to be held accountable for his actions, consequently, Patsy and John Ramsey could have been held accountable had the investigation been conducted appropriately, gathering all the evidence available, as well as separately interviewing each member of the

    Some think the family wrote the note since it seemed to have been rewritten several times, but the intruder was most likely trying to write the best paper without giving any hints to as who it might be. The note gave them the option to have their child returned as said by CNN Library,“JonBenét's mother, Patsy, says she found a ransom note demanding $118,000 for JonBenét's return,” ("JonBenet Ramsey"). The note had a time on it, the family couldn't call the police, but had to wait for a phone call. The majority think that since they never got a call, the family must have done it, but instead, it could have been the killers focusing on the escape. Hive provides us with key information about the note, “The ransom note warned the couple not to contact the police but to await a phone call between 8 and 10 that morning,” ("JONBENET RAMSEY").

    While searching the house, Ramsey and White went into the basement, and after looking around, John Ramsey opened the door to, what was later identified as the wine cellar, and turned on the light. At that time John Ramsey found the body of JonBenet on the floor. Instead of calling out to the police, who were in the house, John Ramsey removed the white blanket, which had been covering the body, and carried JonBenet’s body up to the living room and placed her on the floor (Saferstein, 2011). This action alone, contaminated the crime scene, and may have possibly damaged or caused valuable evidence to be lost. When the body of JonBenet was found, her mouth and neck were bound with duct tape, and she had been strangled with a garrote (Denver Post, 1999).

    Some may find this piece of evidence not important, but the night of her death Jonbenet did wet the bed; Patsy HATED that Jonbenet was wetting her bed. That night she could’ve got so mad at her and accidentally did the deed. The ransom note was analyzed and Patsy’s writing was said to be a possible match to the note, but it was inconclusive. Patsy also found the note, which was placed on the back of the stairs (the part you see while walking up). This is odd because she claims to have found it while walking down the stairs and it would essentially be impossible for her to see the pages.

    One of very first mistakes the Department made was that they did not search the house very thoroughly, nor did put the house on secure the home and the evidence within the home after the first arrived on the sense. The Police department should have made sure that nobody enter the home, nor left the Ramsey home, before they had the opportunity to search it, and question everyone in the home at the time of the event. With no doubt if the police would have searched the house when they first arrived on the sense, they would have found JonBenet in the cellar of the basement in the Ramsey home wrapped in a blanket.
