The case of JonBenét Ramsey has piqued the interest of many people and has in fact made others discover their investigative skills. Even up to this day, nobody knows who killed the little girl that happened more than two decades ago. It remained an unsolved crime that swept the nation and scared many parents.

JonBenét was reported missing from his family’s Boulder, Colorado, residence on December 26, 1996. Patsy, the girl’s mother, informed police that she had discovered a three-page ransom note that asked for $118,000 to be paid to get her daughter back. John, her father, discovered her death in the home’s basement hours later.

It was over 25 years ago and there has still not been a killer convicted of her tragic death.

Many news channels have covered her story, including 60 Minutes Australia. The video takes viewers through the new breakthrough DNA evidence that could potentially be a deciding factor to help determine who is responsible for the death of JonBenét Ramsey.

Even after all these years, John Ramsey, JonBenét’s father, has not given up hope that the person responsible for his daughter’s death will be found and brought to justice. He said, “We’ve lost a beautiful child and this is a creature that did this [who] is out there and could possibly do it to another child.”

He adds, “We want to do whatever can be done technically and resource-wise to find the killer of our daughter and if we do that and we can’t, then we will have to live with it. But to not do it is criminal and negligent and lazy.”

John can’t bring his daughter back, but still, he and the rest of the family would still want answers as to why this brutal murder took place right in the comfort of their home.

Ramsey believes that there is a way to discover the truth about who killed JonBenét, but in order for him to do so, he will need the help and support of the law enforcement authorities who have been looking into the death for so many years. Ramsey has the feeling that the authorities never undertook a thorough investigation into the crime, but rather, they jumped to incorrect conclusions.

JonBenét’s involvement in children’s beauty pageants, her family’s affluence, as well as the early suspicion surrounding her parents—who were never convicted and were eventually cleared by authorities through DNA testing—have kept the public interested in the case ever since.

Ramsey also explains how the police aimed to pin the death of their daughter on himself and his wife, Patsy Ramsey. He said, “They solved it in their minds on the first day, that it was the parents. We’ve just got to find the evidence to be able to prove that. But we know it was the parents because it’s always the parents.”

Ramsey also believes that the detectives who were assigned to the case in remote locations such as Boulder, Colorado, were not adequately prepared to deal with a crime such as this homicide.

After the most recent appeal into his daughter’s death, Ramsey has decided to advocate for legislation to make the murder of a child a federal criminal. This would ensure that cases involving the murder of children have access to resources from outside of the jurisdictions in which they occur.
