Nearly three decades have passed since the grisly and unsolved murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey , who vanished on Christmas night in 1996, only to be found bludgeoned and strangled in her family's basement. The child beauty queen's disappearance from Boulder, Colorado, was heralded by a bizarre ransom note that demanded $118,000 for her safe return, igniting a media frenzy and generating numerous conspiracy theories over the years. The investigation into JonBenét's death was plagued with missteps, such as inadequate securing of the crime scene and potential evidence tampering which have left the mystery unresolved.

However, he pointedly criticized law enforcement for their reluctance to seek external assistance saying: "We want to keep the case alive and in front of people. I believe it can be solved if the police accept help from outside their system.



That's been the flaw for 25 years." The mysterious death of JonBenét Ramsey has sparked numerous conspiracy theories over the years, with some accusing her parents of being the murderers or the authors of the ransom note. Initially, police suspected that the letter - allegedly written by a "group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction" - was staged by Patsy, JonBenét's mother.

However, a federal court later ruled this highly unlikely. Despite this, many online conspiracy theorists continue to blame the family, who have been subjected to countless death threats. DON'T MISS.
