Ramsey’s Indicted In JonBenet’s Murder In 1999- DA Alex Hunter Refused To Prosecute
According to a new report exclusive by the Daily Camera- Both John and Patsy Ramsey were indicted by a grand jury in 1999 for child abuse leading to her death- but prosecutor Alex Hunter refused to sign the indictment because he did not feel there was sufficient evidence to secure a prosecution against either parent.
The report lays to the rest years of lingering rumors that although the grand jury which was suspended more than once while hearing the Ramsey case was never polled.
In July 2008 then Boulder District Attorney Mary Lacy, publicly exonerated the Ramsey’s in an open letter after Touch DNA testing proved the suspect in Jon Benet’s assault and murder was an unrelated male whose profile matched DNA in a blood stain within the child’s underwear.
… The match of Male DNA on two separate items of clothing worn by the victim at the time of the murder makes it clear to us that an unknown male handled these items. There is no innocent explanation for its incriminating presence at three sites on these two different items of clothing that JonBenét was wearing at the time of her murder. … To the extent that we may have contributed in any way to the public perception that you might have been involved in this crime, I am deeply sorry. No innocent person should have to endure such an extensive trial in the court of public opinion, especially when public officials have not had sufficient evidence to initiate a trial in a court of law. … We intend in the future to treat you as the victims of this crime, with the sympathy due you because of the horrific loss you suffered. …
In 2001 John and Patsy Ramsey also passed a polygraph examination given by Dr. Ed Gelb and corroborated via quality control analysis Cleve Baxter.
Patsy Ramsey died in 2006 after over a decade of battling ovarian cancer.
In his book, The Other Side of Suffering, John Ramsey believes his daughter’s murderer was someone the family came into contact with either at a Holiday gathering or at a pageant appearance shortly before her murder on Christmas Day.
JonBenet’s murder remains unsolved.

How does garden variety D&D (which I know zero about) fit with the garrotte
tying special french knot capability (presumed SM-experienced)?
Compliments to those so up on the evidence & its interpretation.
@Rose
I was referring to the beheading reference as a possibility.
Blink i didn’t follow this case. Only one question about the footage of the police report: could the suitcase have been a help for some potentially intruder to get out of the house? Then if so it could tell a lot about the intruder. ( intruder(s) size and age ) did the brother of Jonbenet have some weird friends?
I paid attention at the time and tried often to find a way to contact the police focused on the case. Way back then there was reference to a certain man that John Ramsey worked with at his then place of work, who was quite annoyed at the amount of salary John Ramsey was getting and it was around the time of company bonuses. I don’t remember the details now as it is so much later in time, but I wish John Ramsey would get a list of all the people he worked with and have them investigated. He could point out the men most likely to be the one who was really upset.
This is the first time I have seen this site. I am not one to become obsessive about crime, but I have followed several HLN shows for 10 years. And I did follow this case from the beginning when it was covered on CNN. I wish CNN would have a way of searching transcripts of shows with boolean search terms, so they could help with crime resolution. CNN mentioned the fellow at work who was so mad he made some comments I can not remember verbatim. But it was something about being mad about the huge bonus John Ramsey got. Was that not written in some note left at the scene, referencing the amount of money that matched the bonus amount? Likely that man has left the country long ago to avoid detection. Such an individual would not be a danger to others, if his anger was very specific. So that might be why they decided not to pursue it.
That must be why John Ramsey says it could be someone who knows them.

“Ahh But Blink it does matter”

I will be upfront. I believe the parents were involved.
Think about it: Would an intruder take the time in the Ramsey home to clean up the crime scene i.e. douche JBR’s vaginal area, construct a nonsensical ransom note and practice ransom note (JBR was not kidnapped) and leave it on the stairway inside the home.
The crime scene was not secured by the detective on the scene. John Ramsey allowed Fleet White and his wife to enter the home. At the detectives request John joined Fleet in searching the home. I’ve provided links below some of which are graphic.
See the evidence for yourself:

lyla- that submission did not and would not get an indictment, and since then a significant DNA profile has been established in this case that not only matches “itself”, but excludes the family entirely.
This was an intended kidnapping that ended in JonBenet’s death- by a sexual sadist.
To believe that the ramsey’s were involved means they could fake that or stage same. Impossible to do so without detection, imo.

What do you guys think about the “Paul Douglas Peter” did it theory? His method was he used a BASEBALL BAT to threaten the girl when he was caught after putting the collar bomb on the other girl, and in the Ramsey case an extra baseball bat was found in the Ramseys yard in 1996. And in the collar-bomb case he left an email contact with a screen name from a character out of a James Clavell novel, while an extra James Clavell novel was found in the Ramsey house after the 1996 murder there. Here is the rundown from a link: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?p=4798857#post4798857
I do not believe there is any connection. JBR’s offender is a sexual sadist.
