John Ramsey’s Startling Claim After 28 Years
John Ramsey, father of JonBenét Ramsey, has made a shocking statement about his daughter’s 1996 unsolved murder. In an interview with *People*, he suggested a masked intruder might be responsible for JonBenét’s death and a similar attack on a 12-year-old girl in Boulder just nine months later. “To me, it could easily have been the same person,” John said, though he claims authorities ignored the link. He remains hopeful that advancements in DNA technology could finally solve the case.
Initially, investigators focused on JonBenét’s family due to a ransom note found at the scene. The six-year-old had been strangled, beaten, and sexually assaulted. Despite maintaining their innocence, John and his late wife, Patsy, faced intense media scrutiny. Patsy passed away in 2006, and neither John nor their son, Burke, were ever charged. John pointed out eerie parallels between the two cases, including the victims’ proximity, shared dance studio, and home intrusions. He believes police overlooked these connections and continues to advocate for modern forensic methods to uncover the truth.
