Blog post 1

Today I read “20 years later, JonBenet Ramsey murder remains unsolved. Why?” which was about the evidence that has been found in the past 20 years about the murder of 6- year old JonBenet, and why the case is still unsolved. Authorities today have acknowledged early mistakes made in the investigation by the Boulder County police on the day of the murder. For example, Boulder police Detective Linda Arndt (the first investigator to arrive at the Ramseys’ home) initially failed to treat it as a crime scene. For hours that morning, numerous neighbors and friends walked freely through the house, before the house had even been searched by police. The body of JonBenet was found well after the police arrived, by her father John. JonBenet …show more content…

After finding his daughter's body John took it upon himself to remove the duct tape from JonBenet’s mouth and carry her upstairs. Because state officials and others did not take this crime scene very seriously and an abundance important evidence had been tampered with, they did not have a solid investigation. Nina Grawal states “police didn't formally interview JonBenet's parents until four months after her death. Arndt reportedly gave Patsy Ramsey's lawyer a photocopy of the handwritten ransom note around the same time that Patsy was being asked to provide handwriting samples by other officers.” This indicates that Patsy and John Ramsey were originally never seriously considered as potential suspects while the investigation was still taking place. With the advanced technology we have today, authorities are almost certain that John and Patsy Ramsey had something to do with their daughters murder. According to a video statement made by police Chief Greg Testa, “Boulder police processed more than 1,500 pieces of evidence and interviewed more than 1,000 people in connection with the case and still, the evidence has been insufficient and inconclusive.” I believe that the evidence is quite clear and that the police failed to interview everyone they should have at the time of the

    New DNA could lead to more clues in the investigation, Biography stated this, “In July 2008, new "touch DNA" technology seemed to exonerate all members of JonBenét’s family in the 1996 killing,” ("JonBenét Ramsey"). With the new technology, we have today DNA can be taken and tested in a couple days of a crime, it is also very reliable. Not to mention all the pressure put on the parents of the family, finding DNA other than their families was a relief. The DNA found led police away from the family, CNN Library stated,“Early suspicion fell on her parents, but they were exonerated after DNA at the scene was found to belong to a male unrelated to the Ramsey family,” ("JonBenet Ramsey"). Since the DNA did not match to any of the family members, they now have to find who actually committed the crime.

    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).

    When John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White went around the area to see if JonBenet was hiding somewhere, the first place John went was straight to the basement. Which just so happened to be where JonBenet’s body was found, so that right there raised a huge red flag. The reason for that was because by the time Mr. Ramsey had gone downstairs to the basement, it had been a few hours from when everything had started and mysteriously he knew exactly where she would be in the basement? The biggest part of it all was after Mr. Ramsey had found JonBenet, instead of calling for the detectives who were all over his home; he immediately picked JonBenet off the ground and took the duct tape off her mouth. After John Ramsey touched JonBenet, that entire murder scene was now tampered with which makes anything that was found inaccurate seeing how there is now other fingerprints on the body.
