The Boulder Police once again are making it clear they are firmly commited to NOT solving this case by refusing to make the DNA evidence available to scientists.
Look into Yvonne "Missy" Woods and Chiara Wuensch, two DNA analysts fired earlier this year for the way they've handled DNA for the state crime lab. This is not to credit BPD with anything, but to point out that it's more than just the cops.
that dna could have come from anybody, the underwear jb was wearing was not even hers, dna is not so simple and because it probably was one of the partents, they could always say they lived in the house so thats why their dna was there
its not the best police work, but its pretty shameless to not acknowledge that the family obviously knew more than they were saying. and technically if you want to comment on the police and justice system, they literally were voted guilty by a grand jury but the DA secretly refused to charge them.
True, but it wasn't just the police. Ramsey's had friends in high places, refused to cooperate fully even though they made it appear they did. They worked very hard to push the intruder theory while obviously that wasn't adding up.
Even if Colombo was blind, deaf and dumb, he could have done a better job. Or the Keystone Cops. Their determination to prove the Ramsays guilty blinded police to other possibilities and caused the family untold misery on top of losing Jon Benet. Shameful on their part!!
The fact that they didn’t ask the family members to leave the house as it was a crime scene. They did not handle it well; partly because the department had never dealt with a homicide before
But the police chief should have not proceeded with anything until he sought direction from a police department that could guide him through correct procedure. The officer that told John Ramsey to go search the house, then threw him under the bus to avoid taking any blame. A kid would have known not to let anyone into a crime scene.
The parents & brother’s DNA was tested shortly after her death and their blood was proven not to match. The police need to test the perps blood with today’s technology against the data bases we have available.
BINGO. I can't believe people are so ignorant to NOT see this. The BPD is DESPERATELY trying to bury this case. It is SO obvious. I pray the Ramsey's can finally get their name cleared with this familial dna soon!
Technically, an update in an investigation can include stating the intention to go back to working on a cold case that's been shelved or trying a different approach to investigating it, but I definitely get what you mean still.
The state's Attorney General should force that police department to comply with requests to provide case file contents for new DNA analysis. Boulder police are obstructing justice.

John and Patsy left the state and refused to cooperate right after the murder of their daughter in their own home -- talk about obstruction. Why would anyone listen to John now?

I’ve been following this case since I was a little girl. I would appreciate seeing this tragic case finally solved, so the grieving father & family can finally get some peace. She was a beautiful child who didn’t deserve to die like that. 😢

Notice how the Boulder Police said absolutely nothing about DnA?!? Here's a tip BPD send the DnA out for additional testing along with genealogical testing. Case solved.
Yeah, she was so pretty when she was all dolled-up. Hard not to want to ask her out or get to know her, ya know? But, then you remember she's not with us anymore.
Who abused her? She had signs of prior sexual abuse on her body as per autopsy report. So, who abused her? The pediatrician who claimed he didn't see signs of abuse is not a gynecologist. Pediatricians don't examine girls the way gynecologists do. So, when her pediatrician says he didn't see the signs of abuse, it doesn't mean that there were no signs of abuse cause he never examined her sex organs. However, the autopsy report says the signs of prior sexual abuse were present. This means that someone was abusing her long before the murder. She also suffered from bed wetting badly. This is a common sign of a psychological trauma in kids. Bed wetting is also listed as a symptom in children who suffered sexual abuse.
The family doctor is close friends with the father… he is not a pediatrician but was the family’s doctor… look up the ransom note it was a cover up.. parents did it.
@@ShellyCline smh…. I think when most people hear “DNA evidence” they think of it coming from blood or another bodily fluid. That is not the case in JonBenet’s case- they’re referring to “touch DNA”, which is left behind when you touch something and leave skin cells behind. It’s good evidence and pretty reliable, but it’s circumstantial. Touch DNA on her underwear could have been left behind by someone working at the factory where the underwear were packaged, by someone who helped JonBenet adjust her tights or underwear at the party, or it could have been transferred there by JonBenet or one of her parents (if I touch a doorknob, and I leave behind skin cells, and you come behind me and touch the same doorknob, you may have picked up some of my DNA. If you then touch something else, you may leave some of my DNA behind even if I’ve never touched it). The other thing is, some people (cough cough NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY) imply that all three DNA samples match each other. They do not. They are consistent with each other which is pretty meaningless. For example, say your DNA sequence is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, and mine is 9 8 3 4 9 5 7 1 2. If they find a DNA sample that is x x 3 4 x x x x x, it is consistent with both of ours. In short, if they had extracted DNA from a semen sample left on her underwear and it MATCHED the DNA under her fingernails that’s a complete open and shut case for me. But that’s not what happened. It’s akin to saying “a green Ford pinto left the scene of the crime shortly after the murder”. If you find a suspect that drives that car then that’s great, but if you find someone covered in blood who hated the victim and left them threatening notes, you don’t disqualify them because they don’t own that car.
@@ShellyCline I can't say for sure but it's within the family or it's the family and a friend but that little girl was being abused according to the autopsy, her bedwetting, etc. Someone took it too far and the parents covered it up because not only the killer would be discovered but so would they!! The grand jury wanted to indict them for these very reasons.
@@pamelasmith6221 that's completely false. Have you read her autopsy report? It literally says nothing of the kind. Those were again, falsehoods made up by the detectives to get the public to convict them in the court of public opinion. By the way, bedwetting is a sleep disorder, not a sign of abuse.
@@pamelasmith6221 that is totally false. The autopsy report says nothing of the kind. That's just another falsehood made up by the detectives in order to get them convicted in the court of public opinion. By the way, bedwetting is a sleep disorder, it is not a sign of anything nefarious.
There is no intruder. The ransom note was not written by an intruder. An intruder would not sit around in the house after killing a little girl and write a manifesto. The note had to be written by one or both of the parents, likely the mother. It's guilty demeanor. A desperate, nonsensical attempt to create plausible deniability. One or both of the parents obviously committed this murder, there is no other reasonable explanation. If there really was an intruder who left a ransom note, they would not have murdered the girl, they would have taken her with them. Even if they did kill her, they would have taken the body, otherwise there is no point of leaving the note. If the parents were really so frantic about their daughter being missing, wouldn't they have thoroughly searched the basement? The girl never was missing. She was in the basement the whole time. They knew that, and that's why they did not search the wine cellar. There was no kidnapping. There was no intruder. There is no evidence of forced entry. The dad admits he is the one that kicked the window in. He easily also could have placed the suitcase under the window. Its not rocket science.
People were quick to blame tha parents and her brother. However they were excluded and the DNA that was found on JonBenet's body was found to be an unidentified male. This man killed this little girl. Please find him
I believe this case is still solvable. Older crime's have been solved and in this case,they have DNA and if the perpetrator ever has his DNA entered into CODIS, it'll immediately identify him. So this case is indeed very solvable
Watching this playout on TV back in the day made me take sides with the Ramsey's! Very sloppy work by the police department. You could feel how deeply the parents loved this child and would have never committed such a crime. I can't imagine how torturous that had to of been for the mother. Not only did she loose her beautiful little daughter but she was also blamed for the crime. How chilling that must have been for her. I am sure that no doubt caused the cancer to come back and take her life. ALL SO SAD!
I believe the parents know exactly what happened to her. The ransom note was over the top. I mean come on now. They really screwed this case from the start. RIP Sweet girl ❤️
The Boulder Police Department needs to face justice. This little girl was exploited by her mother, and by Netflix and the media and everyone who has written books. Every Christmas this story is exhumed. Every expert, crime junkie, arm chair sleuths, amateur criminologists have a hand in this tragedy. So sad that people treat this as entertainment.
@@fuzzybuddywizard That hasn't worked very well though has it? When there are things such as documentaries and amateur podcasts keeping the case alive then the police are pressured to keep at it. I would rather see her get exploited and the crime solved than a child killer to escape.
This man deflects blame as hard as he possibly can and distances himself by calling her "that child" and clinging to the DNA that "wasn't his" and acting appalled that they tried connecting it to a worker who handled the underwear in a factory in China.
@HeatherSchwabeland her mother sent her son's secret to her grave because jon benet Ramsey brother had sexual feelings for her and they knew it would ruin there reputation
The boulder police F'd this up sooo badly. I have never believed the family did this. I do believe someone was in their house when they got home that night bu the black shoe marks from the basement window. That dude in jail who has admitted doing this is most likely the person who killed her, but a lot of child predators follow those kiddie pageants, so the police really need to look there too. If Boulder police do not have the ability to do current test then they need to let the FBI take over & swallow their damn egos. This isn't about them. It IS about the murder of a child & they have done a horrible job..
It's a weird case. I used to lean heavily towards the family being guilty. Now I'm not so sure. Apparently before the body was found, Patsy got really upset with the police that they weren't shutting down the local airport to stop all outgoing flights. That doesn't seem like something a guilty person would even think to ask the police to do. Seems like like a genuinely worried parent. Not saying this alone proves anything.
Absolutely someone was lying in wait at the home. Someone who had been in the home before like workmen, tutor, neighbor, etc!! Someone had been stalking that child no doubt. It was somehow who was obsessed with the little girl and probably someone she had contact with previously. The police were completely out of their depth and chose the easiest targets they could.., the parents. They screwed that investigation up so badly, the perpetrator has probably killed many more children because of their complete incompetence!!!
I read there was a similar case in Boulder a few months after this happened. ie a guy snuck into a home at night and started molesting a 10 year old girl in bed. The mom woke up and that apparently scared him off.
The scene was very much compromised from the start, making the case much much harder. I'm honestly concerned this poor kid won't see justice. I do think the family was involved but I don't think it was Burke (I think he knows something though).
lol The Pig Chief got all defensive when everyone realized his underqualified department's been failing to solve this case for damn near three decades. What a politician.
@TheCatD Lots of children get murdered unfortunately, they deserve just as much resources as JonBenet but don't get it. It's RIDICULOUS that after nearly 30 years, it's still in the news.
Brother accidentally bashed her over the head? And then a 9 year old made a garrot device to strangle her? While sexually assaulting her? You realize how stupid that theory is right? I need you to know how dumb that is
@@CaptainFantastic222he was weeks off being 10 years old. Burk had previously hit her in the face with a golf club that required medical attention. The 'garrot' was used to drag her body, images of the same device were found in Burks boy scout manuals. Burk had been caught multiple times prior playing 'doctors and nurses' with his sister. The sexual assault was digital penetration. Read up on what that means and on other cases where it happened such as the two 10 year old boys that assaulted Jamie Bulger. Yes it's completely possible, you sound daft denying it
@@KingUsyk none of that is substantiated by any evidence. It makes no sense too You are also disregarding the DNA not belong to a family member. Or the fact that someone opened the grate outside to enter the house through the window and seemingly had a suitcase to get out. Also the note wouldn’t make sense then. Or the rope that that the intruder left.
@@CaptainFantastic222 not at all, the parents are guilty of covering up and I’m sure it was part of some twisted incest fantasy the mother or father had.
Why was the ransom note specifically placed on the staircase? Because the killer knows that Patsy will come down that stairs in the morning and wanted for her to see the message first! I think the father did it!!!
I believe the father did it too…. He was always in the basement and had a train set he was working on at the time…. That house was HUGE… 3 floors…. No way some random intruder did this. This is on Netflix
There was no intruder. If there would have been, there would have been footprints in the snow outside the basement grate. There were none. There were undisturbed cobwebs on the shards of broken glass in the window pane, and on the hinge side of the swinging window that would have been directly in the path of someone climbing through. There were no plant or leaf debris on the basement floor beside the suitcase, but these were present in the window well that the "intruder" would have had to step on to lower himself through the window.
Do you know how fast a spider can spin a cobweb? In less than 3 hours. I learned that when I ran through a spider web on my doorframe (that wasn’t there the night before) and when I opened the door about 3 hours after the web was there again. So, the spider web being “undisturbed” is just not a good argument.
Have you read the easy to find online police report. Hardly any snow. Pics show bicycle tracks in snow. 2 of biggest suspects had keys to house knew family routine everything they needed. 1st cop on scene took a pic of an entry door ajar...
@davidwilliams4498 Retired Colorado detective Lou Smit, who later worked for the Ramseys in helping establish their innocence, was a proponent of the intruder theory. In footage that was recently released for the first time in A&E's documentary The Killing of JonBenét: The Truth Uncovered, Smit successfully entered the basement by climbing through the broken window himself. (The window was open when investigators arrived at the crime scene.) Smith did his reenactment in May when there was no snow on the ground and he is clearly seen in the video sitting and putting his hands and feet on the same grass where the snow was on Dec 26th. Have you seen the video footage and photos taken the Morning of the 26th showing the small patch of grass beside the window well grate with no footprints in it? Have you seen the video footage and photos of the undisturbed cobwebs taken on the Morning of the 26th.
I just finished watching the documentary, it's a strange case but what's even stranger is the man who confused and explained himself over the phone in such a fascinating way but yet his DNA never matched! I've never heard anyone explain something in such detail that man was strange very very strange! It sounded as if the man studied the case then fanatisced about the case in his head! He was a sick individual.
It won’t ever be solved because those on the force who rolled up their trouser legs protect John and Patsy who ALSO rolled up their trouser legs - and the first order of the club is to protect thy brother - even when it does involve RA from the club they belong to. There was never an intruder - John knows it, Patsy knew it and so do the force members who rolled up their trouser legs too. It’s really getting very old seeing this disgusting man, on TV, all these years later, STILL deflecting. 👁️🔺👌🏻
Anyone see the interview in which John says he never talked to Burke about what he did that night? Compare that to Burke's Dr. Phil interview in which he admitted getting out of bed and using a flashlight to work on some toy -- yet no one is interested in whether he saw anything? Note how John says the Boulder PD "has to go outside." He wants to hand pick what gets done, after years of not cooperating?
It always sounded like a cop did it, since they had tac gear in 1996, and the police closed ranks so hard. Must be a higher profile person though, since the new cops today are better than that...
They had many friends there beforehand. It was either a family friend or someone that had worked for them. It could also be a relative of someone with local political ties.
DO NOT NEED ANY UPDATE. UNTIL THAT GREAT JUDGEMENT DAY COMES, WE WILL NOT LEARN THE TRUTH, and I believe the brother unintentionally killed his sister in a moment of rage. The coverup by the parents to protect their precious, public image and the higher ups in the police department not treating the case like it should have been, are the actual crimes in this horrible tragedy.
BS just like the famous TV special that was sued an lost hundreds of millions of dollars with absolutely 0 facts to back up the tabloid trash forensic guess probability that Burke did the deed. .....
I agree. So much evidence pointed to the parents covering something up. They panicked and wanted to protect the family name. Burke would have had this tragedy follow him forever and the parents just wanted to protect the namesake. It's the only thing that makes sense. No footprints in the snow leading to the house that night, no forced entry, hostage note was similar to Patsy's handwriting, Burke's violent past with Jon Benet, etc. Nothing else makes sense.
Why would they be demanding the police continue to look into it if they were 'involved in a cover-up'? Surely if that was the case they'd be keeping quiet and hoping everyone would forget.
Sorry but who leaves their 9 year old son to sleep in their bed, on the opposite side of their large home, after it has just been revealed that an intruder or intruders have just been in the home and taken one child for money? People who know that their home is safe, because there was never an intruder.
I have always felt that the brother did it. The parents did a cover up because he probably did not intend to kill her. He was quite young. He probably doesn't even remember doing it. I sure don't remember much about my life when I was 8 or 9. The parents went over and above to make sure he was never charged.
Why outside help? The police woman who responded to the crime scene that night, long time ago said that this girl was raped before it wasn't the first time and reiterated that the murderer was in that room that night and will be never found guilty, 28 years later has proven that she was right.
Watching the Netflix show on this case reminded me of how bad this was handled. I have no law enforcement experience, but common sense tells you that she a kidnapping occurs you secure the scene. You walk around the perimeter of the home & property..you search the home..NONE OF THESE BASIC things were done!! Test the damn DNA and use the lates test technology to find her killer. It appears that something really stinks…my question is WHO are the police protecting?

They have solved it and just haven't brought him to justice.
@@HeatherSchwabeland care to share who it is then?
@@ShellyCline I can't say for sure but it's within the family or it's the family and a friend but that little girl was being abused according to the autopsy, her bedwetting, etc. Someone took it too far and the parents covered it up because not only the killer would be discovered but so would they!! The grand jury wanted to indict them for these very reasons.
@@pamelasmith6221 that's completely false. Have you read her autopsy report? It literally says nothing of the kind.
Those were again, falsehoods made up by the detectives to get the public to convict them in the court of public opinion.
By the way, bedwetting is a sleep disorder, not a sign of abuse.
@@pamelasmith6221 that is totally false.
The autopsy report says nothing of the kind.
That's just another falsehood made up by the detectives in order to get them convicted in the court of public opinion.
By the way, bedwetting is a sleep disorder, it is not a sign of anything nefarious.
There is no intruder. The ransom note was not written by an intruder. An intruder would not sit around in the house after killing a little girl and write a manifesto. The note had to be written by one or both of the parents, likely the mother. It's guilty demeanor. A desperate, nonsensical attempt to create plausible deniability. One or both of the parents obviously committed this murder, there is no other reasonable explanation. If there really was an intruder who left a ransom note, they would not have murdered the girl, they would have taken her with them. Even if they did kill her, they would have taken the body, otherwise there is no point of leaving the note. If the parents were really so frantic about their daughter being missing, wouldn't they have thoroughly searched the basement? The girl never was missing. She was in the basement the whole time. They knew that, and that's why they did not search the wine cellar. There was no kidnapping. There was no intruder. There is no evidence of forced entry. The dad admits he is the one that kicked the window in. He easily also could have placed the suitcase under the window. Its not rocket science.
You’re 100% wrong. 😘
The note could have been written while he was waiting and hiding
@ why on earth would he do that? Neighbours heard a little girl screaming, why didn’t the parents?
Without a kidnapping, writing and leaving a note makes no sense.
@ if the note was written while the killer was waiting for them to get home it makes sense. He was just going to take her but, killed her.
People were quick to blame tha parents and her brother. However they were excluded and the DNA that was found on JonBenet's body was found to be an unidentified male. This man killed this little girl. Please find him
I believe this case is still solvable. Older crime's have been solved and in this case,they have DNA and if the perpetrator ever has his DNA entered into CODIS, it'll immediately identify him. So this case is indeed very solvable
Watching this playout on TV back in the day made me take sides with the Ramsey's! Very sloppy work by the police department. You could feel how deeply the parents loved this child and would have never committed such a crime. I can't imagine how torturous that had to of been for the mother. Not only did she loose her beautiful little daughter but she was also blamed for the crime. How chilling that must have been for her. I am sure that no doubt caused the cancer to come back and take her life. ALL SO SAD!
I believe the parents know exactly what happened to her. The ransom note was over the top. I mean come on now. They really screwed this case from the start. RIP Sweet girl ❤️
Genetic genealogy is a thing. Why haven't they tried it?
Because the parents know who the killer is as it is one of them, mom, dad or brother (and yes it is 100% possible for a child to be a murderer).
The Boulder Police Department needs to face justice. This little girl was exploited by her mother, and by Netflix and the media and everyone who has written books. Every Christmas this story is exhumed. Every expert, crime junkie, arm chair sleuths, amateur criminologists have a hand in this tragedy. So sad that people treat this as entertainment.
Though the exploitation is sad, they're only chasing clicks. Should true crime shows be more regulated or even outlawed? What solution do you propose?
@@kerikah I propose decency. Leave the unsolved crime to outside federal agency.
@@fuzzybuddywizard That hasn't worked very well though has it?
When there are things such as documentaries and amateur podcasts keeping the case alive then the police are pressured to keep at it. I would rather see her get exploited and the crime solved than a child killer to escape.
@@pabbischannel8812 the family did it...
@@fuzzybuddywizard no they didn't. There was literally male DNA on her that has never been identified smh.
Who are YOU exploiting???
this case just keeps getting more cold
Everyone knows that her brother killed her.
It was probably Boulder p.d
Boulder PD was taken off the case by the FBI 🍁experts now say this wouldn't be a hard case to solve 🙄
This man deflects blame as hard as he possibly can and distances himself by calling her "that child" and clinging to the DNA that "wasn't his" and acting appalled that they tried connecting it to a worker who handled the underwear in a factory in China.
Would a factory worker's DNA would get washed off in the laundry?
I thought the brother bashed her in the head with a flash light and choked her for eating his pineapple?
Nonfiction books and documentaries ain't gonna find the bastard who killed that little girl
That is her brother.
Her brother her mother and her father were all involved
Exactly why it keeps leading in circles to nowhere. And carrying that burden to protect her son sent her mother to the grave.
Wrong.
@HeatherSchwabeland her mother sent her son's secret to her grave because jon benet Ramsey brother had sexual feelings for her and they knew it would ruin there reputation
@MrDavidrex gow
How
I think the original police screw-ups sank the case from the start, unfortunately.
With all that genetic testing of today...Please Please Please...JonBenet needs justice..Poor angel ...❤❤❤
The son killed her… parents covered it up.
How are you so sure of that.
A child so little killed her really? You're delusional
I always thought and still do, that her brother killed her.
So do I x
I agree, and God forgave him! In the parents eyes.
I think you did it... opinions are like @$$ holes.
@SanchoSanto , Says the asshole.
The mom did it
The boulder police F'd this up sooo badly. I have never believed the family did this. I do believe someone was in their house when they got home that night bu the black shoe marks from the basement window. That dude in jail who has admitted doing this is most likely the person who killed her, but a lot of child predators follow those kiddie pageants, so the police really need to look there too. If Boulder police do not have the ability to do current test then they need to let the FBI take over & swallow their damn egos. This isn't about them. It IS about the murder of a child & they have done a horrible job..
It's a weird case. I used to lean heavily towards the family being guilty. Now I'm not so sure. Apparently before the body was found, Patsy got really upset with the police that they weren't shutting down the local airport to stop all outgoing flights. That doesn't seem like something a guilty person would even think to ask the police to do. Seems like like a genuinely worried parent. Not saying this alone proves anything.
Absolutely someone was lying in wait at the home. Someone who had been in the home before like workmen, tutor, neighbor, etc!! Someone had been stalking that child no doubt. It was somehow who was obsessed with the little girl and probably someone she had contact with previously. The police were completely out of their depth and chose the easiest targets they could.., the parents. They screwed that investigation up so badly, the perpetrator has probably killed many more children because of their complete incompetence!!!
I read there was a similar case in Boulder a few months after this happened. ie a guy snuck into a home at night and started molesting a 10 year old girl in bed. The mom woke up and that apparently scared him off.
Could the murderer be one of their own?
She'd be almost 40 now 😢
Any conclusion at this point would be unbelievable.
The scene was very much compromised from the start, making the case much much harder. I'm honestly concerned this poor kid won't see justice. I do think the family was involved but I don't think it was Burke (I think he knows something though).
lol The Pig Chief got all defensive when everyone realized his underqualified department's been failing to solve this case for damn near three decades. What a politician.
I hope you never need the police one day.
@@plumeria66 Bootlicker.

Would love to know who the police are protecting. Test the DNA
28 years and people are still obsessed.
Maybe that's the point. Maybe that's one reason why they refuse to solve this case.
A child was murdered. She deserves justice!
@TheCatD
Lots of children get murdered unfortunately, they deserve just as much resources as JonBenet but don't get it. It's RIDICULOUS that after nearly 30 years, it's still in the news.
@TheCatD
All children deserve justice. Time to stop wasting resources on a 30 year old case.
@@emersonmanning6523 says u because it's not ur child
Most likely someone is being protected
What horse shit. Her brother killed her by accident after she ate his pine apple.
Brother accidentally bashed her over the head? And then a 9 year old made a garrot device to strangle her? While sexually assaulting her?
You realize how stupid that theory is right? I need you to know how dumb that is
@@CaptainFantastic222he was weeks off being 10 years old. Burk had previously hit her in the face with a golf club that required medical attention. The 'garrot' was used to drag her body, images of the same device were found in Burks boy scout manuals.
Burk had been caught multiple times prior playing 'doctors and nurses' with his sister. The sexual assault was digital penetration. Read up on what that means and on other cases where it happened such as the two 10 year old boys that assaulted Jamie Bulger.
Yes it's completely possible, you sound daft denying it
@@KingUsyk none of that is substantiated by any evidence. It makes no sense too
You are also disregarding the DNA not belong to a family member. Or the fact that someone opened the grate outside to enter the house through the window and seemingly had a suitcase to get out. Also the note wouldn’t make sense then.
Or the rope that that the intruder left.
@@CaptainFantastic222 not at all, the parents are guilty of covering up and I’m sure it was part of some twisted incest fantasy the mother or father had.
@@CaptainFantastic222The note would make sense if the parents found out he did it and they had to cover for him.
Attention 9 News: And just what is the UPDATE you mentioned.
Good that BPD is clapping back on the lies of the Ramsey's PR machine that is once again in full swing...
The murder of JonBenét was completely covered up by affluence.
Rest In Peace ✝️🕊️

Brother.
@@susanp.collins7834 And they both have immunity and impunity from any possible prosecution. They knew who did it from day one.
I thought it was the brother then and still do now
That makes no sense
The DNA traces to an unknown male. You guys can stop with blaming the family. None of them matched
The family theory makes literally no sense and their is no evidence to suggest they had anything to do with it
What a joke of a police department.
Why was the ransom note specifically placed on the staircase? Because the killer knows that Patsy will come down that stairs in the morning and wanted for her to see the message first! I think the father did it!!!
I believe the father did it too…. He was always in the basement and had a train set he was working on at the time…. That house was HUGE… 3 floors…. No way some random intruder did this. This is on Netflix
Patsy did
Your both wrong her brother definitely did it. No two who dunnits about it.
Wrong
The ransom note was a coverup it was a copy of the note in the movie “Ransom” parents did it..
The dad knows what happened and is in control of everything. Money talks.
Let me save you some time, There is no update.
The father definitely knows who
There was no intruder.
If there would have been, there would have been footprints in the snow outside the basement grate. There were none.
There were undisturbed cobwebs on the shards of broken glass in the window pane, and on the hinge side of the swinging window that would have been directly in the path of someone climbing through. There were no plant or leaf debris on the basement floor beside the suitcase, but these were present in the window well that the "intruder" would have had to step on to lower himself through the window.
Do you know how fast a spider can spin a cobweb? In less than 3 hours. I learned that when I ran through a spider web on my doorframe (that wasn’t there the night before) and when I opened the door about 3 hours after the web was there again. So, the spider web being “undisturbed” is just not a good argument.
Have you read the easy to find online police report. Hardly any snow. Pics show bicycle tracks in snow. 2 of biggest suspects had keys to house knew family routine everything they needed. 1st cop on scene took a pic of an entry door ajar...
@davidwilliams4498 Retired Colorado detective Lou Smit, who later worked for the Ramseys in helping establish their innocence, was a proponent of the intruder theory. In footage that was recently released for the first time in A&E's documentary The Killing of JonBenét: The Truth Uncovered, Smit successfully entered the basement by climbing through the broken window himself. (The window was open when investigators arrived at the crime scene.) Smith did his reenactment in May when there was no snow on the ground and he is clearly seen in the video sitting and putting his hands and feet on the same grass where the snow was on Dec 26th. Have you seen the video footage and photos taken the Morning of the 26th showing the small patch of grass beside the window well grate with no footprints in it? Have you seen the video footage and photos of the undisturbed cobwebs taken on the Morning of the 26th.
@ you said there was no footprints on the snow and now it’s was a photo of patch of grass. Which one is it?

I've never heard anyone explain something in such detail that man was strange very very strange! It sounded as if the man studied the case then fanatisced about the case in his head! He was a sick individual.

millionaires are never guilty of a crime.
It won’t ever be solved because those on the force who rolled up
their trouser legs protect John and Patsy who ALSO rolled up their trouser legs - and the first order of the club is to protect thy brother - even when it does involve RA from the club they belong to. There was never an intruder - John knows it, Patsy knew it and so do the force members who rolled up their trouser legs too. It’s really getting very old seeing this disgusting man, on TV, all these years later, STILL deflecting. 👁️🔺👌🏻
Never trusted the father.
Anyone see the interview in which John says he never talked to Burke about what he did that night?
Compare that to Burke's Dr. Phil interview in which he admitted getting out of bed and using a flashlight to work on some toy -- yet no one is interested in whether he saw anything?
Note how John says the Boulder PD "has to go outside." He wants to hand pick what gets done, after years of not cooperating?
Get real. John has been requesting advanced DNA testing for YEARS and getting no co-operation from the Boulder police.
@@lr8607 BINGO!
This, it was most likely the brother and the parents covered it up, but the police never bothered to investigate him.
A lot of nothing.
It always sounded like a cop did it, since they had tac gear in 1996, and the police closed ranks so hard. Must be a higher profile person though, since the new cops today are better than that...
JB had signs of SA in her private area, both recent and in the past weeks/days

DO NOT NEED ANY UPDATE. UNTIL THAT GREAT JUDGEMENT DAY COMES, WE WILL NOT LEARN THE TRUTH, and I believe the brother unintentionally killed his sister in a moment of rage. The coverup by the parents to protect their precious, public image and the higher ups in the police department not treating the case like it should have been, are the actual crimes in this horrible tragedy.
Delusional!
They already ruled out in 2007 I think
BS just like the famous TV special that was sued an lost hundreds of millions of dollars with absolutely 0 facts to back up the tabloid trash forensic guess probability that Burke did the deed. .....
@@Darren-xj7fgno they were not ruled out. The person that said that had absolutely no power to do so. They are still suspects in her murder
@@Carebearstare....Boulder police would disagree
I hope they close the case because this is crazy
Burke did it. The parents covered it up.
I agree. So much evidence pointed to the parents covering something up. They panicked and wanted to protect the family name. Burke would have had this tragedy follow him forever and the parents just wanted to protect the namesake. It's the only thing that makes sense. No footprints in the snow leading to the house that night, no forced entry, hostage note was similar to Patsy's handwriting, Burke's violent past with Jon Benet, etc. Nothing else makes sense.
😢Then why does the father keep pushing it?!
This is one of the saddest murder cases I've ever known about. Either solve this case, or, let the child R.I,P.
The whole family was involved in the cover up
There is zero evidence to support this…
Bull.
Why would they be demanding the police continue to look into it if they were 'involved in a cover-up'? Surely if that was the case they'd be keeping quiet and hoping everyone would forget.
@@CaptainFantastic222wrong
@ good point
I appreciate the use of a non- beauty pageant photo. In all these years, this is the first time I have seen JonBenet looking like a normal child.
For some reason the boulder police do not want this case solved.
Sorry but who leaves their 9 year old son to sleep in their bed, on the opposite side of their large home, after it has just been revealed that an intruder or intruders have just been in the home and taken one child for money? People who know that their home is safe, because there was never an intruder.
Interesting take🤔
I have always felt that the brother did it. The parents did a cover up because he probably did not intend to kill her. He was quite young. He probably doesn't even remember doing it. I sure don't remember much about my life when I was 8 or 9. The parents went over and above to make sure he was never charged.
Why outside help?
The police woman who responded to the crime scene that night, long time ago said that this girl was raped before it wasn't the first time and reiterated that the murderer was in that room that night and will be never found guilty, 28 years later has proven that she was right.
Update... so absolutely nothing new then.....duh
Watching the Netflix show on this case reminded me of how bad this was handled. I have no law enforcement experience, but common sense tells you that she a kidnapping occurs you secure the scene. You walk around the perimeter of the home & property..you search the home..NONE OF THESE BASIC things were done!! Test the damn DNA and use the lates test technology to find her killer. It appears that something really stinks…my question is WHO are the police protecting?
I think her brother killed her
If it was her brother which I don't think it is at all why is the father pushing for the unknown dna to be tested
@@caleclayton1987Because it's touch dna, the kind you or I are both covered in from simply being in an environment with other people. It's going nowhere and in the opposite direction of the Ramseys Of course he's going to hang onto it like a dog with a bone
