John Ramsey’s Shocking Claim After 28 Years: John Ramsey, father of JonBenét Ramsey, has made a bombshell statement about his daughter’s unsolved 1996 murder. In an exclusive interview with People, he revealed his belief that a masked intruder could be responsible for both JonBenét’s death and an attack on a 12-year-old girl in Boulder just nine months later.
John stated, “To me, it could easily have been the same person,” adding that authorities dismissed the theory. Despite this, he remains hopeful that modern forensic techniques like DNA analysis could finally identify the killer.
Investigation and Media Scrutiny: The investigation initially focused on JonBenét’s family, partly due to a ransom note found in their home. JonBenét had been strangled, beaten, and sexually assaulted. Her parents, John and Patsy, consistently maintained their innocence, but they became media targets. Patsy died in 2006, and no charges were ever filed against John or their son, Burke.
Striking Similarities Between the Cases: John emphasized the eerie similarities between the two attacks. Both victims lived near each other, attended the same dance studio, and had intruders in their homes. Despite this, John believes police “blew it off.” He urged law enforcement to consider modern forensic techniques in hopes of finding the truth.
