After waking up her husband John, they called the police. Close friends and detectives rushed to aide the family. Within a few hours, her body was found in the basement by John Ramsey and Fleet White. During an autopsy, examiners identified the cause of death from a cranial fracture and possibly strangulation.

Many people believe that because there was local pedophiles that an Intruder could have committed this crime. But with all of the evidence given, it directs more logical evidence for the murderer to be in the house. At the crime scene, there was left a three page ransom note. Most ransom notes aren’t more than a page because criminals wouldn’t want to risk getting caught. Also, when a biopsy was completed, JonBenet’s digestive tract showed she had previously eaten a piece of pineapple. On the kitchen table, there was a bowl of pineapple and milk with Burke’s fingerprints on it. There was always a cup of tea with Patsy’s DNA on it. These items were left from the night before 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").

    When the police first arrived onto the scene of the murder, the child had not been found yet. They started to do a deeper look into the house when all of a sudden John comes up from the basement stairs carrying JonBenet’s dead body, despite being told if he did find anything to leave in its original placement. Obviously ignoring these orders, John even ripped off the piece of duct tape from JonBenet’s mouth. When John covered her dead body with a blanket and laid her down, this caused him to destroy some vital evidence that could've been found if he had not removed her from her original stance in the basement. The first police officer to arrive at the crime, Linda Ardndt, spoke out to the public about John’s strange behavior the day of the murder.

    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.

    First is that an intruder broke into their home, wrote the note, and killed JonBenét. Next is the mother Patsy, who might have had a motive of jealousy from the attention her daughter received, and thus killed her and had John help cover it up. Lastly, Burke may have unintentionally murdered his sister by hitting her with a flashlight after she took his food and ran, but John and Patsy staged it to be as if someone else had kidnapped and murdered her. If the crime scene had not been contaminated, if family and friends spoke to the police further, and if Burke would have spoken in depth about his childhood relationship with his sister – the investigation may have had further evidence to go upon. Nonetheless, the Boulder County attorney declared on October 13th, 1999 that there was not enough sufficient evidence to declare anyone as the culprit.
