...Who Murdered JonBenet Ramsey? From researching the murder of JonBenet Ramsey and watching “The Case Of: JonBenet,” I believe that JonBenet’s brother, Burke killed her and their parents covered it up to protect their son. John and Patsy obviously succeeded because to this day, no one knows who killed JonBenet. I have many reasons behind why I think Burke Ramsey killed his six-year-old sister. One reason is because of the evidence at the crime scene. Another reason being the marks on JonBenet’s body. The last reason for me to believe Burke killed his sister is because of what he said and how he was acting when he was interviewed two weeks after JonBenet’s death. In my opinion, the evidence found in the Ramsey house after JonBenet’s death points...

...JonBenét Patricia Ramsey was born in Atlanta, Georgia on August 6th, 1990. She was murdered in her home December 25, 1996 and her body was found December 26, 1996, in the basement of their 4-story home, located in Boulder, Colorado. JonBenét was the daughter of John and Patsy Ramsey. She was an American childhood beauty queen. Media coverage of the case has often focused on JonBenét's participation in child beauty pageants, her parents' affluence and the unusual evidence in the case. Reports have also questioned the police's overall handling of the case. Several defamation suits have been filed against several media organizations by Ramsey family members and their friends over reporting of the murder. JonBenét’s murder – particularly as the days went by and no arrests were forthcoming – quickly became a national obsession, featured day after day on network news, television tabloid programs, talk radio, newspapers and magazines. Her image flitted across television screens numerous times, often showing her in a fancy red cowgirl outfit, singing "I want to be a cowboy sweetheart," or dancing across the stage in a glittering Las Vegas showgirl outfit, complete with heavy makeup. Her unusual first name became so well known that like Cher and Madonna she no longer had need of a last name. The public’s shock at the murder soon began to share equal time with its growing hate at the Boulder police’s investigation, a hate fed by a steady stream of leaks from the Boulder County District...

John now regret putting his child in pageants and says they are bad for young girls. Beauty pageants are beautiful but they can cause pain in different ways. Children beauty pageants are bad because they are sexualize young girls, wear high heels, cause cognitive and emotional problems. French lawmakers want an all-out ban on child pageants. They are accusing the media and reality TV of promoting stereotypes that transform young girls into sexual morsels. Look at the growing number of schoolgirls as young as 8 who wear padded bras, high heels, or makeup, and strike suggestive poses. What is that telling the children about how they present themselves to society? In the other hand, children in pageants can carry over into a multitude of other activities, like dance, drama, music recitals, and future public speaking. A pageant girl usually learns to be comfortable in front of strangers, giving her self-confidence a big boost When little pageant contestants wear heels it unnecessarily pushes their weight forward, causing lower back pain and hindering proper development of the feet. In some cases, these girls are forced to continue wearing heels outside of pageants because their feet have grown in a way that makes wearing other kinds of shoes...

...The JonBenét murder case occurred December 26, 1996. A complex combination of errors from the first day slowed development in the progress of the case. In addition the parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, originally refused to be interviewed by authorities. It wasn’t until January of 1997 that an interview took place, and that was on CNN.

...Based on the Jon Benet Ramsey case some of the evidence that would help to solve the case would have been Fingerprints that may have been taken from the window that was supposedly broken from the previous summer. Written documents such as the ransom letter that was left at the crime scene. If the window was broken from the outside there should be footprints or smudge marks in the dirt from the intruder and also the broken glass from the window. John Ramsey stated that the glass in the basement was broken from the outside and in order for the investigators to determine if the glass was truly broken from the outside they can check to see if there is any glass outside of the house below the window just like john found pieces of glass inside the house. Also they can look at the different shapes of the glass, the edges of the glass will be different if it was broken on the outside rather than the inside. The glass evidence at the Ramsey house was a very important piece of evidence because the Ramsey’s stated that the house was broken into the previous summer but the question was why John felt the need to explain the fact that his window had been broken into that previous summer before they had even found his missing child, also why is it that this man of wealth left this window broken since the summer rather than getting it fixed. The glass that was found by the broken window if taken into evidence would have been a very important piece of evidence because it would help to determine...
