The strangulation came 45 minutes to two hours after the head strike, based on the swelling on the brain. The blow knocked her into unconsciousness, which could have led someone to believe she was dead. Though Beckner may regret the AMA, Reddit users were impressed with his candor, and we still learned some really interesting things from his answers:īeckner: “We know from the evidence she was hit in the head very hard with an unknown object, possibly a flashlight or similar type item. Since Beckner’s comments have been deleted, it’s impossible to link to individual responses, but all of his answers can be found in a cached version of the thread at. However, he later told the Boulder-based Daily Camera newspaper that he had misgivings about the online chat, calling it a “misunderstanding and naivete on my part.” On Reddit, Beckner’s responses shed a lot of light on some of the more complex and questionable parts of the case. To this day it is still unclear who killed the little girl. Boulder District Attorney Mary Lacy even wrote a letter to the family apologizing for any pain caused by a suggestion of involvement in the crime.
#DID MEDIA AFFECT THE JONBENET RAMSEY CASE FULL#
The case, full of lurid twists and turns, gripped the nation and made her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, into celebrities as well as persons of interest in the case.ĭespite suspicions, the Ramseys were exonerated in 2008 after DNA evidence pointed to an unknown male unrelated to the Ramsey family. Six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet was found murdered in the basement of her home in 1996. (HLN) - It’s easy to feel a little sad for Mark Beckner, the former Boulder, Colorado, police chief and Reddit newbie who did an Ask Me Anything segment this weekend, unaware that his answers were accessible to the entire world.īeckner was the police chief during the JonBenet Ramsey case. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated. JonBenét deserves justice.This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. If their speculation is true, even if the murder was accidental, I believe that the family should step forward and own up to their crimes.
Upon finding her dead, they hypothesized that John and Patsy Ramsey, the parents, covered up Burke’s crime to prevent him from getting in trouble. Investigators came to the conclusion that it was Burke who killed her. He even said that he was just getting on with his life. Just days after the murder, Burke Ramsey seemed completely indifferent to the fact that his sister had been murdered in his house. What I found most terrifying was the way JonBenét’s older brother Burke acted based on tapes of his interviews with investigators that were shown during the second installment on Monday night. When they played back the tape and enhanced the audio it was clear to everyone that it sounds like Patsy says “What did you do?” after she thinks she has hung up the phone.
I found it very fishy that the 911 dispatcher who had been on the phone with Patsy Ramsey, JonBenét’s mother, was never asked to appear before the grand jury. It is highly improbable that it was an intruder who wrote the note just based on this information. This is excluding the time it would take to write the drafts that were found in the trash. They determined that it would take the intruder at least 20 minutes to write the note. There are a couple of aspects of the case that I found mildly disturbing, if not preposterous.įirst of all, the three-page “ransom note” was gone over in excruciating detail by the investigators in the first installment of the documentary. The show brought together forensics experts Henry Lee, Jim Clemente, Laura Richards, Jim Fitzgerald, Stan Burke, James Kolar and Werner Spitz, who investigated the case from scratch to try to shed light on what the original detectives might have missed. 18, the two-part documentary “The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey” premiered on CBS. Her case has never been solved despite high media coverage, even after all of this time. Twenty years ago, 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was murdered in the Ramsey family home in Boulder, Colorado.
