  4. Beth Ramsey Daughter from John’s first marriage. Died in a car accident 1-8-92 in Chicago, Illinois

  5. Melinda RamseyLong • Daughter of John from his first marriage She was in Atlanta at The time of the murder

  6. Burke Ramsey A leak to the news media indicate that Burke's voice could be heard in the background of the 911 call Patsy made, although she said he was asleep until after police arrived.

  7. John Andrew Ramsey son of John Ramsey and his first wife, was with his sister Melinda Ramsey Long in Atlanta when his half sister JonBenet was found dead. He is not considered a suspect.

  8. Patsy Ramsey Mother: Former Miss West Virginia (1977). She was active in the community of Boulder, Colorado, and was recovering from ovarian cancer around the time of JonBenet’s death, & had also become a very religious person during her struggle with cancer. She has since passed away - 

  9. John Ramsey Father: C.E.O: Access Graphics; very wealthy businessman - voted Boulder’s “Business Man of the Year” in 1996. John Ramsey, dad of slain child JonBenét, weds Jan Rousseaux 5 years after wife Patsy's death

  10. Crime Timline • December 25, 1996: JonBenet last seen at 10:00 p.m. when parents put her to bed. • December 26, 1996 – Patsy Ramsey calls 911, reports her daughter has been kidnapped. She tells the dispatcher that she found a kidnap note on the stairs. The police arrive at 5:52 a.m. JonBenet’s body is found at 1:00 p.m. • December 27, 1996 – Autopsy conducted. • December 31, 1996 – JonBenet is buried in Marietta, Georgia.

  11. January 4, 1997: Police find notepad similar to the table used for ransom note. • March 6, 1997 – The adult children of John Ramsey eliminated as suspects • March 14, 1997 – Police determine that John Ramsey did not write the ransom note; they believe a female wrote it. • September 29, 1997 – Police execute search warrants on the Ramsey home and find duct tape, rope, and fibers that match those found on the body of JonBenet. • October 13, 1999 – The grand jury announces that it has found insufficient proof to indict anyone in the death of JonBenet Ramsey.

  12. Critics of the investigation have since claimed that officers also did not sufficiently attempt to gather forensic evidence before or after JonBenét's body was found, possibly because they immediately suspected the Ramseys in the killing. Some officers holding these suspicions reported them to local media, who began reporting on January 1 that the assistant district attorney thought "it's not adding up"; the fact that the body of the girl was found in her own home was considered highly suspicious by the investigating officers. The results of the autopsy revealed that JonBenét was killed by strangulation and a skull fracture. A garrote made from a length of tweed cord and the broken handle of a paintbrush had been used to strangle her; her skull had suffered severe blunt trauma; there was no evidence of conventional rape, although sexual assault could not be ruled out. The official cause of death was asphyxiation due to strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma.

  13. In December 2003, forensic investigators extracted enough material from a mixed blood sample found on JonBenét's underwear to establish a DNA profile. The DNA belongs to an unknown male. The DNA was submitted to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a database containing more than 1.6 million DNA profiles, mainly from convicted felons. The sample has yet to find a match in the database, although it continues to be checked for partial matches on a weekly basis, as are all unmatched samples

  14. A break in the case came unexpectedly in August 2006, when Boulder DA Mary Lacy announced the arrest of a new suspect — an American school teacher named John Mark Karr. Patsy Ramsey died of ovarian cancer in June, but a family spokesman says Karr attempted to correspond with Patsy before her death

  15. In a startling post-arrest confession, Karr told reporters in Bangkok that he was with JonBenet when she died. "I loved JonBenet very much," Karr said. When asked if he was innocent, Karr shook his head and replied, "No." Her death, Karr said, "was an accident." But doubts soon surfaced about Karr's alleged confession.

  16. Thai dermatologist Dr. Setthakarn Attakonpan says that Karr came to his office for laser hair removal in preparation for what Karr told him would be a sex-change operation. The display, a computer image of Karr, was taken in March 2006, according to the clinic

  17. Alexis Valoran Reich Karr has not had a sex change, but refers to himself as a woman and holds a Washington state license under the name Delia Alexis Reich. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRy4KJuEna4&feature=player_embedded
