Almost 2 decades after JonBenét Ramsey's murder, the nation is still engrossed with the case. The CBS' docuseries The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey is going to have a group of specialists including James R. Fitzgerald. The FBI special agent claimed they have solved the mystery and knew who the killer was.
The team that was put together by CBS involves ex-New York City prosecutor, profiler, and retired FBI supervisory special agent Jim Clemente. Along with him is the well-known forensic scientist Dr. Henry Lee and former District Attorney chief investigator in Boulder, Colo., James Kolar. Completing the roster is the prominent pathologist Dr. Werner Spitz.
Adding to the team are ex-New Scotland Yard criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards and retired FBI regulatory special agent as well as statement analyst, Stan Burke. He said that one person is responsible for the six-year-old girl's death and that was his older brother, Burke Ramsey. However, the murder wasn't intentional but an accident and the older brother didn't mean to kill her younger sister, according to E! News.
Still, there were people hooked whom the investigators conclude did have intent. They were JonBenét's parents', John Ramsey and Patsy Ramsey, who conspired in an effort to baffle the authorities' investigation into the felony.
The evidence team ditched the idea of an intruder murdering the child because of the untouched cobwebs by the window. Another thing is that the older brother, Burke appeared to be composed and avoiding questions when he was investigated weeks after the crime.
The team believed that the Ramsey family came home after having a Christmas dinner. While John carried the sleepy daughter upstairs, Patsy prepared Burke tea and pineapple downstairs. JonBenét suddenly woke up and went downstairs and seized a piece from his older brother's bowl. Burke got pissed off and grabbed the nearest object to him and hit her poor sister with a flashlight, eventually knocking her out.
When police went to investigate after Patsy called stating that her daughter is missing, the girl's body was found in the basement. She was battered and strangled with her mouth and throat wrapped in duct tape, on December 26, 1996. Her mother claimed that an intruder left a note asking for $118,000 ransom money, Time reported.
Clemente presumed that the Ramsey family did their best to make it difficult for police to solve the crime.
"In the 20 years since this horrendous death have no doubt someone involved in this homicide talked to someone about what happened and I would only hope at some point the persons who might have heard something from John Ramsey, from Burke Ramsey, from perhaps the late Patsy Ramsey, would still come forth," he said. "I would love to hear from them."
JonBenet's autopsy determined her death due to asphyxiation induced by suffocation. Her untimely demise was governed as a homicide. She had been National Tiny Miss Beauty and Little Miss Colorado before she was murdered after Christmas in 1996.
