“The nut factor,” he told the news website, “is the biggest I have seen in 27 years - in my career. Having raised the issue of the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey, I referenced the ransom note. Some of them, he said, derived their insights from divine sources, and spoke in tongues. And while police came up with no new leads from the renewed investigation, Denver’s district attorney, Mitch Morrissey, said he still regularly heard from tipsters claiming to hold the key to the killing. In 2010, when Boulder police conducted a fresh round of interviews with witnesses including JonBenet’s brother, the Daily Beast reported that tourists were still making daily visits to photograph the abandoned 7,240-square-foot Tudor home where the murder occurred. The murder remains unsolved, but the mystery continues to intrigue the public. Police later determined that both the notepad the demand was written on and the Sharpie it was written with came from inside the Ramseys’ house. The three-page note, purporting to be from “ a small foreign faction,” demands $118,000 for the first-grader’s safe return. I think that level of detail shows much forethought on the perp’s part. I think most people who would try to write a ransom note as a decoy would not go into that level of detail.

Unfortunately many perps get ideas from tv and movies.

( DNA evidence processed in 2008 by technology that wasn’t available a decade earlier seemed to vindicate both the district attorney and the Ramseys: it indicated that the killer was not a relative of JonBenet’s.)Įven so, puzzling details of the crime continued to pique the public’s curiosity, particularly the ransom note JonBenet’s mother Patsy Ramsey claimed to have found on the kitchen staircase before her daughter’s body was discovered. Also the Ransom movie had come out recently. According to statistical information provided by Lei Sussurra, the recently released JMK handwriting samples were downloaded from their site by the U.S. The grand jury also proposed charging the Ramseys as accessories to the crime for hindering the search for her killer, although the beleaguered parents would go on to finance their own highly publicized investigation, employing four full-time private investigators and 10 forensics experts. The samples were first released privately in 2007 to four handwriting experts who connected Karr to the JonBenet Ramsey ransom note. The report revealed that, while stopping short of suggesting murder charges, the jurors concluded there was reason to suspect that JonBenet’s parents had put her “ in a situation which posed a threat of injury to the child’s life or health which resulted in the death of JonBenet Ramsey.” The revelation inside: it had been the district attorney, not the grand jury, who decided that there wasn’t enough evidence to make a case. Not until 14 years later were the grand jury findings made public, when a judge unsealed part of their report.
