8 Signs JonBenet Ramsey was murdered by her family

Ever hear the story about the 6 year old pageant girl that was murdered in her own home? This mystery has shook the country for 20 years now. 20 years later, still no justice? There have been plenty of suspects, false confessions, and even conspiracy theories on what happened to this little girl. However, what I’m here to prove is that JonBenet Ramsey was killed by her own parents, and quite possibly her brother was even involved.

The murderer didn’t act like an intruder. The police didn’t find anything that connects this murder with an intruder. Every item used in this case was found inside the Ramsey home. The notepad for the ransom note was her mother,Patsy’s, stationary. The broken paint brush used to strangle her matched the paint brushes in Patsy’s art supplies. Even the same duct tape and rope. Also, there was a flashlight found near her body which is likely the murder weapon.

2. Whoever did it, had plenty of time to stick around. Who has time to sit down and write a three page ransom note right after killing a screaming child? Well, she apparently screamed. The neighbors heard a scream but apparently nobody in the house heard anything (Hmm..).

3. The ransom note.. Patsy should’ve put more thought into it.

This ransom note was two and a half pages and demanded $118K in exchange for their daughter. Apparently, the murderer forgot that she had already been murdered. Why would they write a ransom note when they already compromised their prize? Maybe to hide their identity better and hide their motive. Like I previously mentioned, the ransom note was written on the stationary pad in Patsy’s office. So this led the investigators into having each of the Ramsey’s do handwriting samples. Oddly enough, Patsy’s writing strongly resembled the ransom

    Police showed up at the Pugh's home the night after the murder and asked the 57-year-old housekeeper to write the number $180,000 on a piece of paper, and reportedly took her fingerprints and several strands of her hair.(1) The Hoffman-Pugh theory insisted that the housekeeper led JonBenét down into the basement that night in an attempt to trick her employers into leaving money for her ransom. There was a possibility that she could have seen John Ramsey's pay for $180,000 as a holiday bonus. Being the housekeeper she was familiar with both the home and the family's schedule, Hoffman-Pugh makes a suitable suspect, and without an alibi. She was asleep in bed while her husband allegedly slept on the couch.…

    Although I do believe that Casey Anthony was involved in the murder of her child, I'm not sure if she actually killed her daughter. One of the main reasons for this belief, is that Anthony’s statements are riddled with lies and discrepancies. For instance on June 9, 2008 Casey claims that her daughter, Caylee, has gone missing. Later on she states that she dropped Caylee off with the babysitter, that didn't exist.…
