http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/08/16/ramsey.arrest/index.html Sources: Arrest made in JonBenet Ramsey case Wednesday, August 16, 2006; Posted: 4:53 p.m. EDT (20:53 GMT) Authorities have made an arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case, law enforcement sources told CNN on Wedesday. An investigator with the Boulder County, Colorado, District Attorney's office traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, and is bringing a suspect back to the United States, CNN's Denver affiliate KUSA reported. The suspect was arrested Wednesday morning and has confessed to certain elements of the crime that are unknown to the general public, KUSA reported. Prosecutors have not confirmed the identity of the suspect, but expect to hold a press conference later today. JonBenet's beaten and strangled body was found in the basement of the family home in Boulder, Colorado, the day after Christmas in 1996. She was 6. A grand jury investigation into the death of the child beauty pageant winner ended without charges in 1999. The investigation focused a spotlight on the child's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey. Patsy Ramsey died in June. The Ramseys said an intruder committed the crime, but they remained the subject of suspicion and speculation. "The Ramseys left Colorado and had a house in Charlevoix, Michigan, where John Ramsey unsuccessfully ran for office in 2004, and in Atlanta, Georgia.
i saw a discovery documentry on the case. it showed that the parents were very unlikely to have done it (hence the lack of evidence), but the DA was under extreme pressure to solve the case. the whole situation is kinda scary for the parents.
I'll wait on more info before commenting. If this guy did it and the Ramseys had nothing at all to do with it, their behavior has been nothing short of bizarre. They wrote the book on how to act suspicious after a crime has been committed.
i think he meant it as a joke. you know sort of implying that patsy had a hand in murdering her own child. it's always funny when we talk about filicidal behavior! lolololollololololollollol!!!!!
Well, they lawyered up immediately and, in the eyes of the police, were not very cooperative (wouldn't submit to lie detector or be interviewed seperately). In actuality, I think any lawyer worth his salt would have suggested the same as the police will always look at the parents first and see any inconsistency or unfortunate coincidence as a sign of guilt - plus lie detectors are BS.
From what I heard the DA was obsessed with the parents and wouldn't look at anyone else. People quit over it.
Didn't he have knowledge of the case that had not been made public? Edit: there may also be DNA evidence involved.
