The first True Crime case I remember really being interested in was the infamous "Jonbenet Ramsey Case." I remember the first time I heard about it, I was only 4 years old. I remember it so clearly. I was spending the night with my grandparents, and my Grandpa had left for work, he was a Sanitary Engineer at Kroger’s, and worked midnights. My Grandma always watched the 11 o'clock news. I was laying on the pull out bed in the living room and she was on the couch. A man and woman started talking about "The missing Beauty Queen found dead." I remember seeing her picture and being so shocked that she was a little girl, just like me. I think that was the first time I ever heard of a child dying and I couldn't believe it!

For some reason this story never left me. I remember just growing up so curious about it. I remember seeing her pictures on magazines and tabloids at the grocery store. I always had to go to the pages her story was on to read it over really fast while I stood in line with my Mom, or Grandparents. I was just so intrigued by this story. It followed me to middle school, where I began my research. Being a child at the time I never really understood the details very much. I had a computer class in Middle School where we had free time on the computers after our work was done. We were also allowed to use the printer. I would print details of this story from the internet, and any pictures I could. I just wanted to read about it and find out what the heck happened to this little girl. It's a pretty dark subject for a 7th grader, but I had to know.

JonBenet Ramsey was born on August, 6, 1990 in Georgia. She had a pretty good life from what we know. Her parents were well respected people. JonBenet competed in several Beauty Pageants in her life. She seemed like she had a happy childhood. But sadly her young life came to an end too soon.

On December, 26, 1996 Patsy Ramsey woke up and realized that JonBenet was missing. She found a long ransom note and called 911. In the ransom note they demanded $118,000.00 which also just happened to be almost the exact amount of her father John's Christmas bonus. Soon after it was discovered, that the lengthy note was written in the home. They found the same paper in the house. Police and Detectives began to arrive at the home, but so did a bunch of The Ramsey's friends. There were tons of people walking around, leaving their finger prints, and DNA everywhere. Not to mention some of the friends were in the kitchen wiping counters and tables to help Patsy clean up, which was a big mistake, they could've wiped the Perps DNA and finger prints away.

The Police Department ended up taking off and only leaving one detective in the home. She tried doing everything she could to keep things under control, but it was too much. She couldn't preserve the crime scene alone, she couldn't even stop the friends of the Ramsey's from contaminating everything. She was overwhelmed.

She decided to have John and a friend go search the whole house just to double check everything. John goes into the basement and entered a small room, and there they discovered something absolutely horrific! Lying there they found JonBenet's dead body, in a panic he moves her body and tried performing CPR but sadly it was too late, she was gone.

Her official cause of death was "Asphyxia by strangulation, associated with Craniocerebral trauma." JonBenet had a broken skull from a blow to the head and had been strangled. A garrote was tied around her neck. JonBenet's death was ruled a homicide.

How does a little girl go missing in the middle of the night and end up dead in her own basement? How did she get murdered in her own home, and no one heard a thing? And why the hell did the police do such a shitty job during their investigation? We don't know any of this, it's been over 20 years since this horrible crime was committed, and we still don't know.

Will we ever know what actually happened that night? There are so many theories and conspiracies about this case. We can talk about them for hours, but this is a blog and I won't do that. But I will say what I think to this day, I still believe her family played some kind of role in her death. I can't say for sure what happened, but I have a couple of my own theories and they're in every one of them. The way they lawyered up so quickly, the way they held a press conference behind the Police Departments back, the way her older brother acted during his interviews, and the fact that no one heard anything, it's just too weird. And if her family didn't play a role in it someone she knew had to do it. I'm gonna end this here, but I will be back with more True Crime and I'll be back with more on JonBenet Ramsey. I'll come back with more details on this case as well.
