BOULDER, Colo.—Nearly 15 years ago in 1996, a 6-year-old little girl, who the media constantly refers to as a pageant queen, JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in her parents’ Boulder, Colorado mansion the day after Christmas. Parents John and Patsy Ramsey, who worked hard to achieve the American dream, succeeded and became the quintessential beautiful affluent family in the Rocky Mountain region of the country were vilified by the Bolder authorities, including a former prosecutor and various police detectives, who were unable to solve the murder of their beautiful daughter. The media onslaught the Ramsey family endured would not only focus on John and Patsy but also journalists turned their ire on 9-year-old brother Burke, who was victimized all over again when he watched himself and his parents be accused of a horrific crime against a family member.

John Ramsey’s adult children were also investigated, and it was well over a decade before the Boulder authorities, under new management would finally clear the parents of murder. Patsy Ramsey succumbed to ovarian cancer long before her good name was finally cleared. This case became an unsolved murder mainly because authorities decided the killer or killers were inside the family and living in the beautiful home, that many police officers on that cold December day felt envy of. John Ramsey had built up a technology business in the heart of Colorado and become one of the nation’s billionaires. Only to see his fortune disappear as he was forced to defend himself, his wife and children against an almost lynch-mob mentality in the media and in local law enforcement trying to pin the crimes against little JonBenet on the Ramseys themselves.
Now after the disgraced self-proclaimed pedophile John Mark Karr, who initially placed himself at the scene of the crime has been officially proved to be a liar. Many around the U.S. and the world are wondering if after almost a decade and a half has passed whether this is a case that can be solved by the Boulder Police, which lost a solid decade investigating an innocent couple, who barely had time to grieve because of the media spotlight placed on them.
Larry Schiller author of a book on the case, “Perfect Murder, Perfect Town” told ABC News last year, “This is a case that embarrassed an entire community,” he said, pointing to the inexperience of the Boulder Police Department in 1996. “They live under the shadow of this case.” Schiller is correct. The city still lives under the specter of this murder case, which over the past few years has yielded few clues, but all of which point away from John and Patsy Ramsey and all other Ramsey family members. JonBenet’s body was found beaten and strangled in a very dark corner of the Ramsey family’s home. At least two TV movies have been done on the case, countless hours of news programs and even the Ramseys themselves have appeared on CNN’s “Larry King Live” and all of the other major network news shows, and magazines.
Parents Patsy And John Ramsey
Ever since that morning after Christmas in 1996, when Patsy placed the frantic 911 call to Boulder authorities, Americans felt the loss of a little girl that was known to her family as the most beautiful child they’d ever seen, an American princess even though she became more famous after death than she ever was in her short six years on earth. However, recently I saw a documentary on the ID cable network about the kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard at the age of 11, by madman pedophile Phillip Garrido and his equally as evil wife Nancy Garrido. This couple kidnapped Jaycee at the tender age of 11-years-old and held her captive, even for months with her hands cuffed behind her back in the backyard of their Northern California home, where she was repeatedly rapped, tortured and forced to bear two children by her kidnapper, who now has been sentenced to well over 400 years for his crimes against Ms. Dugard. Wife Nancy Garrido has been sentence to at least 35 years.
When I watched the show, almost sickened to the stomach by the depravity of the two people, who masterminded the 18 year-long ordeal that Dugard faced, not to mention what she must be going through today, even away from the couple, I saw eerily similar aspects of the two crimes that gave me pause for consideration. Surely Phillip Garrido’s DNA is on file in California, and surely it’s been submitted to the authorities in Boulder, Colorado for examination, hasn’t it? I actually could not truthfully say yes to that question. The State of California very shamefully failed Jaycee and her two daughters for decades. Garrido, a paroled sex offender had his home inspected hundreds of times, even after a next-door neighbor reported seeing children playing in his backyard tent-city area. Yet the parole authorities in California never bothered to go 100 feet outside the back door to search or even inspect that location, even though Phillip Garrido’s ankle bracelet showed thousands of trips per month back to that part of his property.
Jaycee was kidnapped when Phillip Garrido used a stun-gun to disable her, so that Nancy Garrido, his wife could carry her and put her in the backseat of their car. They used binding on her to subdue her until they got her to their home less than one hundred miles away. So I wondered, could Phillip and Nancy Garrido have seen a photo of JonBenet in some pageant materials or literature, and could Phillip Garrido be so obsessed with her, that he and wife Nancy would break into the Ramsey home and wait for the family to return from a party they all attended on Christmsa night? The Ramsey family hired retired Boulder detective Lou Schmidt, who as stated repeatedly that he joined the Ramsey legal team, because of evidence that he felt pointed away from any Ramsey family member being involved in the murder of little JonBenet. Schmidt has said that he found on several of the autopsy photographs, markings on JonBenet that are consistent with a stun gun being used on her during the crime.
One of the things that stumped authorities for so long, was the ransom note left in the Ramsey home, written by what they believe to be by a woman. Nancy Garrido has proved over the years that she would protect her husband, and would commit unspeakable crimes on young girls, such as Jaycee, in order to offer her husband whatever sexual fantasies he had. Is it possible the couple drove to Boulder and are responsible for the murder of the young girl on that night? Perhaps Boulder, Colorado authorities should take it upon themselves not to assume that California has done the right thing by submitting Garrido’s DNA sample to the natoinal data bank, since they didn’t properly supervise his parole for close to two decades. Maybe the Boulder authorities should contact authorities in California to get a sample of Phillip and Nancy Garrido’s DNA for testing in the unsolved murder case of JonBenet Ramsey.
Perhaps one of America’s most celebrated unsolved mysteries could be solved by this testing procedure. Famed Attorney Robin Sax, who practices law in California and who is well versed in the Ramsey case, since she also was involved in the capture of John Mark Karr spoke to Canyon News from her beautiful new Century City offices. When asked about Garrido’s DNA being on file, Sax said, “Absolutely, yes and probably was on file from his previous prison conviction too!”
America and the Ramseys would like to solve this unsolved case. JonBenet deserves justice as well. The little girl would be a college student now, probably a pre-med major. Who knows what and where JonBenet Ramsey could have done with her life, which was snuffed out, brutally, by a deranged person, who should be in prison today.
Anyone with potential information regarding this case should contact the Boulder Police Department.
