Murder of JonBenet Ramsey

Ransom note

JonBenet Patricia Ramsey was six-year-old girl living with her parents in house in Boulder, Colorado. She had an older brother, Burke and from very young age her mother begun to en-roll her in beauty pageants in several states. JonBenet Ramsey went on to win the titles of America’s Royale Miss, Little Miss Charlevoix, Little Miss Colorado, Colorado State All-Star Kids Cover Girl, and National Tiny Miss Beauty. Her life seemed so perfect, but everything changed on 26 December 1996 and up to this day we don’t know what exactly happened. According to the testimony of Patsy Ramsey, mother of JonBenet, she found on the kitchen staircase a two-and-a-half-page ransom letter demanding $118,000 for safe return of her daughter.



Mr. Ramsey,

Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction. We do respect your bussiness but not the country that it serves. At this time we have your daughter in our posession. She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter.

You will withdraw $118,000.00 from your account. $100,000 will be in $100 bills and the remaining $18,000 in $20 bills. Make sure that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you get home you will put the money in a brown paper bag. I will call you between 8 and 10 am tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a earlier delivery pick-up of your daughter.

Any deviation of my instructions will result in the immediate execution of your daughter. You will also be denied her remains for proper burial. The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly like you so I advise you not to provoke them. Speaking to anyone about your situation, such as Police, F.B.I., etc., will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch you talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you alert bank authorities, she dies. If the money is in any way marked or tampered with, she dies. You will be scanned for electronic devices and if any are found, she dies. You can try to deceive us but be warned that we are familiar with law enforcement countermeasures and tactics. You stand a 99% chance of killing your daughter if you try to out smart us. Follow our instructions and you stand a 100% chance of getting her back.

You and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities. Don’t try to grow a brain John. You are not the only fat cat around so don’t think that killing will be difficult. Don’t underestimate us John. Use that good southern common sense of yours. It is up to you now John!

Victory!

S.B.T.C



Father of JonBenet, John Ramsey, was the president of Access Graphics, a business computer system company that later became a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, the company that manufactures, among other products, military aircrafts. The amount of money mentioned in the note - $118,000 - were puzzling, but as it later was discovered John Ramsey did get a bonus of very similar value earlier that year. Despite specific instructions in the ransom note Patsy Ramsey contacted the police and called her family and friends. The two officers who arrived at the Ramsey home conducted a cursory search of the house, but did not find any obvious signs of a break-in or forced entry. John Ramsey made arrangements for the availability of the ransom money and they were picked up from a local bank by his friend, John Fernie.
