Image
In  Part 2 , we saw how the case was mismanaged by the Boulder police from the very beginning. We also looked into the autopsy results and they revealed that JonBenét suffered a terrible death. She was struck in the head with a heavy object, strangled with a garrote and sexually assaulted. Writing samples from her parents showed that John was not responsible for writing the ransom note, but Patsy could not be ruled out.  In the final part, let's have a look at the DNA sample found and who could be responsible for this wicked crime.  JonBenét's beauty and youthfulness is what makes this case difficult for many people DNA FOUND DNA evidence was found at the crime scene. The sample was from an unidentified person, and it was detected under JonBenét's fingernails. The same DNA was found in her underwear. This DNA is not related to anyone in the Ramsey household or family. John Mark Carr's mugshot   In 2008, a man called John Mark Carr confessed...

JonBenét  Ramsey was killed on 26th December 1996 in a most horrific way. In Part 1 , we took a look at the at the Ramseys an their youngest daughter was found in the basement of the family residence. She was bludgeoned, strangled and sexually assaulted. Her death was not easy, or instantaneous. In Part 2, we will explore how the police botched the investigation and what the autopsy revealed. JonBenét Ramsey posing for a pageant POLICE INVESTIGATION Police repeatedly failed in the JonBenét case. The first instance of negligence was the fact that police officers weren't the ones who actually discovered the body. The cellar door was locked when investigators were looking through the home, and as such, they decided not go there. Behind this door, as we remember, was the covered body of young JonBenét.  When Mr. Ramsey found, picked up and brought the body of his daughter, he contaminated the crime scene. Another failure on the police's part was that they left only one...

It was filled with controversy the first time around, after being the first case to be cracked with DNA. Now, this case came again in the spotlight with the debate whether such a vile, sordid killer should be released in public after serving 33 years in jail on what was supposed to be a life sentence?  Read on to find out about the evil deeds of Colin Pitchfork and the sad fate of his victims, 15-years-olds Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth . Colin Pitchfork Mug Shot LYNDA MANN Our story starts on 21 November 1983, with 15-years-old Lynda Mann. She was babysitting at a neighbor's house, a few streets away from her own home. Her mother arrived to the residence after work, and saw her daughter had not returned.
