3 theories surrounding JonBenét Ramsey’s murder
Nearly 30 years after 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found brutally murdered, her brother Burke has broken a decade of silence, insisting that the DNA of her killer is “sitting right there.”
Now 39, Burke Ramsey is speaking publicly for the first time in a decade, reminding the world of the sister he knew beyond the photographs that have come to define her.
“Everyone focuses on the pageants and stuff. But that was only a small part of JonBenét’s life,” Burke, 39, told the Daily Mail. “She had a lot more to her than that.”
“To me, she was just a normal sister who would slide down hills on boxes with me. We’d play in water together. Very normal stuff.”
Burke was only nine when JonBenét’s body was found – strangled and gagged – in the basement of the family’s Boulder, Colorado mansion on Dec 26, 1996. She had also suffered a devastating blow to the head that left an 8.5-inch fracture in her tiny skull.
The child’s death was ruled a homicide, yet despite years of investigations and relentless public scrutiny, no one has ever been charged.
