Computed over a seventy-five-year life span, this equates to a one in two-hundred chance of being murdered at some point in an Americans life span (Ghiglieri, 1999). Boulder, Colorado is more dangerous murders than the six cities around it (city data.com, 2017) When considering the motives, the lack of presence, and crime scene it is clear Burke Ramsey, Patsy Ramsey, and John Ramsey committed and covered up the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Burke had plenty of motives that led to killing his sister JonBenet Ramsey. In fact, Burke made it clear that he was jealous of his sister getting all the attention from their parents. Their dad was always busy with work and their mom was always busy with JonBenet’s career (The Forensic outreach, …show more content…
In the light of, there was no sign of a forced entry. There were a few feet of snow the day of the murder and there were not any foot prints found in the snow that day outside of the house (Dr. Jantz, 2016). Somewhere outside of the house footprints would and should have been found if there was an intruder. In time, if it was a break in there would have been something found around the house to show that there was an intruder. In the many times the house had been inspected there were no signs of a forced entry anywhere to be found around the house (Dr. Jantz, 2016). It could not have been someone trying to break in but, someone that was let in the house or already inside. Not to mention, an intruder kidnapping or murdering a child would not stay in the house longer than needed. A “ransom note” was found by “Patsy Ramsey on the same day of the murder” the note was “two and a half pages long” (Dr. Jantz, 2016). To write a two-and-a-half-page paper demanding ransom would have at least taken forty-five minutes to a couple of hours. In addition, a fracture in JonBenet’s skull was found during her autopsy. The “fracture” was said to be caused by a “hit” over the “head” by possibly a “bat” or “flashlight” (Dr. Jantz, 2016). A nine-year-old is old enough and powerful enough to swing a bat or flashlight fracturing someone’s skull. Equally important, how JonBenet was found and what caused the death is …show more content…
In addition, Patsy and John would do anything for their son even if he committed a crime they would still help him get away with it. While testing samples of the Ramsey’s handwriting John and Burke were ruled out for writing the ransom note but, Patsy was never ruled out, professionals found about two-hundred similarities between the note and her handwriting, she also changed her handwriting several times (A&E television networks, 2016). Someone would not need to change their handwriting so many times unless they had something to hide. However, maybe the reason the crime was never solved was because Patsy had more information. Patsy died of ovarian cancer on June twenty-forth, two-thousand-six”; in the middle of the investigation (A&E television network, 2016). They did not question her enough before she died maybe she had the answers or more information. To add, Patsy knew there was more information needed to be gathered in the house. Patsy agreed to not let investigators proceed to gather DNA and information in the house after a few days of investigating (Ryan Gajauski, 2016). Would she not want all the information needed to find out who killed her daughter? For example, if someone just found out their child died they would not know where the child’s body was right away. John Ramsey suspiciously knew exactly where JonBenet’s body was when searching for here (CNN
Jonbenet Ramsey, a six year old beauty queen, was mysteriously murdered, but by whom? Jonbenet’s murderer was never found after twenty years of investigations. She was a beauty pageant queen who was brutally murdered in her home in Boulder, Colorado, on December 25, 1996. Many believed the parents murdered Jonbenet, which is why the case was controversial. In the 1996 controversial court case over Jonbenet Ramsey’s death, the innocent verdict correctly acquitted the family of the murder by evidence which proved the family’s innocence, including DNA that did not belong to anyone in the family, a ransom note found the night of the murder, and signs of a break in to the family’s house.
It has been almost 21 years since the murder of a little six-year-old girl by the name of JonBenet Ramsey of Boulder Colorado. Her parents were John and Patsy Ramsey. The question remains til this day “Who killed JonBenet?”

Brittany murdered her youngest son Noah in August 2015 when he was three months old.
clear to me that the Ramsey family murdered JonBenet. I think that Burke, her older
This horrible event led to making the ransom note, and in a handwriting examination, we found that the note could have been easily written by Patsy. In which Patsy said she “found” a two-and-a-half page ransom note near the spiral staircase that led to the basement, where JonBenét’s body would eventually be found. The ransom note was written in interesting way that it would seem to appear in one of those classic crime films. The ransom note demanded $118,000 to be given to a "foreign faction" by 10 a.m. the next day, which was later found out to be the same amount of John Ramsey’s Christmas bonus from his company. That is why when the police arrived and made John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White to search the house for anything unordinary, John made it straight to the basement cellar where he immediately “found” his deceased child. Even though he'd been told to leave everything where he'd found it, he decided to pick her up, carried her body upstairs, removed a piece tape from the child’s mouth and placed her down. He even covered her up with a throw blanket, further destroying vital physical evidence. This would be on purpose if they tend to cover up their tracks. That is when Arndt, the police to first arrive at the crime
My third piece of evidence is the kitchen. It is an absolute mess. There are broken plates, newspapers everywhere, an overturned chair, and the phone ripped out of the receiver. As a rule that means there was a struggle or fight before the blow to the head. When Mr. Vermont confronted Mrs. Vermont before he killed her, they got into a
JonBenét Ramsey was murdered in October of 1996. For the last fifteen years police have tried to solve the case, but have had little success. As such, the suspect remains at-large. Due to the high profile of the case it has received national attention. Many people kept track of findings through the news, social media, and with the publishing of books and film. Speculation about the case still remains a popular topic in various genres for the public and other interested parties. The way the case was handled by authorities, the high profile of the Ramsey family, and the lack of cooperation in the form of initial formal interviews by the Ramsey family, all contributed to the lack of progress and the unsuccessful solving of the case.
Orenthal James Simpson, commonly known as "O.J." or "The Juice," famous for the Heisman trophy and football hall of fame.

You succinctly described the errors in the Jon Benet Ramsey investigation and her subsequent unsolved murder. A highly publicized case, Jon Benet Ramsey’s tragic death is a lesson learned for law enforcement agencies to making sure that crime scene preservation and processing procedures are constantly reviewed and trained. “These protocols and procedures exist in order to achieve continuity of the chain of evidence and the integrity of trace evidence gathered” (Julian, Kelty & Robertson, 2012). As investigators, they only have one chance and when a crime scene has been contaminated like the Ramsey’s Boulder, CO home was it opens the door for a miscarriage of justice to occur.

James Patrick Bulger was born on the 16th of March, 1990, to Ralph and Denise Bulger in Kirkby, Merseyside.
On December 26, 1996 Patsy Ramsey made a phone call to 911 and frantically told dispatch that she found a ransom note on the main staircase of her home and that her daughter was taken. Experts from the CBS special reviewing the ransom note determined whoever wrote it was desparately trying to “sell” it too much and used too many words instead of getting right to the point as most ransom notes do. Also, the amount of money that was asked for was the same amount of money that Mr. Ramsey got for his bonus that year. Linguistic experts also matched most of the handwriting to Patsy and said that parts of the note used maternal language, also pointing to Patsy. While reviewing the ransom note, CBS showed experts also looking at the autopsy report.
Finally, if Lizzie was guilty the police would have found proof of committing the murders. The last and most significant reason Lizzie Borden is innocent, is there was no physical evidence found at the crime scene. Although many people think Lizzie Borden is guilty because she burned a paint stained dress the day after being named suspect, and that could have been the dress she wore while executing the murders, there was no proof or evidence found to support her guilt.. In source #1, “Lizzie Borden: Murderess or Media Sensation?” it says, “The lack of forensic evidence played a key role in the case. There was no physical evidence linking her to the murders. A hatchet had been discovered in the basement of the Borden home, but its blade was clean and the handle had been broken off-by Lizzie, according to the police.” This means Lizzie could not have done the murder because there was nothing found that would have been used to kill her parents. The only weapon found was a clean broken hatchet, so it couldn’t have been used to kill someone. There was no evidence found to prove Lizzie’s innocence or guilt, so she can not be proved guilty.
