The JonBenet Ramsey Case

[19Sandy]

The JonBenet Ramsey case is getting a lot of new attention lately.

It has been 20 years since her death.

Scientists can now put the DNA found at the scene into databases and find anyone related to the person. Then they can do more investigating. They are showing more photos and providing more information than before about what was found at the scene. I think the police botched up this investigation in many ways. There are so many directions that they did NOT investigate to find the killer. That house was/is huge with a lot of rambling rooms and hallways so someone could have been hiding anywhere in there for awhile without someone knowing about it. Sometimes I wonder if there is some kind of cover-up to get back at the Ramseys for something.

Dr. Phil is going to have a 3 part series with Burke Ramsey too. I don't think he did it either. I think it was someone who the family knew some how though.

We lived in Boulder at the time and my oldest daughter was the same age. So I was VERY aware of the case at the time. Everyone in Boulder was. However it has been 20 years, everyone is dead, both parents and of course JonBenet.

I am not up for another media re-hash, but I pay little attention to the media at this point anyway. I didn't even know Dr. Phil was still on TV

If they eventually did find/figure out who killed her, could they even convict? (certainly questions about if they screwed it up that much)

A few years back, a friend of mine was called by the Oprah show to be on, when a preacher convinced a murderer to go to the cops to confess his crime from years before. The murder had completely torn asunder his family and someone finally confessing, just brought up more pain to the point he said he wished that preacher kept his mouth shut, and he never knew who killed his sister. There can be no peace here, that I can see.

The child's mother is dead, but her father is still alive.
I hope they find whoever killed that poor child.

[Teacher Terry]

I would want to know if it was me.

John Ramsey is alive and has remarried.

I think they need to find this person because people are still pointing their fingers at John Ramsey and the son Burke.

Also, this person may have done it again or before.

There are a lot of missing people out that no one has answers about.

Sure, I think they can arrest the person and charge them with a crime. I don't think the statute on murder runs out.

[ToomuchStuff]

There is no statute on Murder. The issue is screwing up the stuff enough, to eliminate reasonable doubt.

I thought that the dad had died as well, that makes more sense to pursue it. I guess that I have heard so much for 20 years, every 2 years the tabloids have a new headline that it is going to be solved. And meanwhile there are so many unsolved murders and families struggling.

[Tybee]

I think that whether parents are dead or alive, there is a need to pursue justice for the child, even posthumously. It's not just because it affects a family; the child had value beyond her value to the family, if that makes sense.

This is especially true if there is any possibility that the family was involved in the death.

I know what you mean, but my dark sense of humor got a laugh, as justice is ALWAYS posthumous for a murder victim.

[Tybee]

Sorry, I meant if both parents were dead; I definitely said it wrong!
IT's just that children used to be seen as kind of the property of the parents, and so if the parents were gone, it was like, why bother finding out who did it. that's what I was trying to say.
