In the note, they specifically ask for $118,000, which is close to the bonus John Ramsey received that year. Another strange thing about the ransom note is that it was 2½ pages long and very detailed, if you think about it a ransom note is usually 2-5 sentences long. Upon their arrival, the Boulder police did a terrible job by not searching the inside of the house right away; only searching for signs of forced entry, which they did not find and letting the Ramsey’s have family and friends over causing the crime scene to be contaminated. Around 1 pm, John and a family friend are asked by a detective to search the house to see if “anything seemed amiss”, which was a huge mistake.

Burke had a habit of waking up in the middle of the night to eat a snack; Patsy had to know about Burke’s habit so maybe she had cut pineapples slices for him to snack on at night. JonBenét might have heard her older brother in the kitchen causing her to follow him; when she sees Burke eating pineapple she gets one making him angry for grabbing something that was meant for him, I mean wouldn’t you get mad at your younger sibling touching something that’s yours? Burke gets angry and hits JonBenét on the head which caused the skull fracture found in the autopsy, he does have a history of hitting his sister with objects. In the autopsy report the doctor reported the object that caused the fracture on her skull was a flashlight, one was found in the basement but the Ramsey’s “don’t recall having a flashlight”. When the 911 recording was release the last few seconds are inaudible.

When John returned home, Patsy was still struggling to write the ransom note, so he advised her what to write. The Boulder Detectives asked John why he removed Burke from home.
