Queen Prawn Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Report: Arrest Made In JonBenet Ramsey Case A Denver television station reported Wednesday that an arrest has been made in the unsolved 1996 slaying of JonBenet Ramsey. MORE DETAILS: http://www.nbc5.com/tu/5ibO0CxVE.html DENVER -- A Denver television station reported Wednesday that an arrest has been made in the unsolved 1996 slaying of JonBenet Ramsey. Authorities in Boulder, Colo., informed JonBenet Ramsey's father, John Ramsey, that an arrest is expected outside of the United States, according to KMGH-TV in Denver. In a telephone statement delivered from his Denver office to KMGH-TV, the Ramsey family's attorney, Hal Haddon, confirmed the arrest. "The diligent investigation of Jon Benet Ramsey's murder by Boulder D.A. Lacey and detectives working with her has been extraordinary," Haddon told the station. "It is hoped this arrest will bring some closure to the Ramsey family after a 10-year ordeal. We respect the legal process and will have no further comment until the legal process is concluded." Ramsey was found dead in the basement of her parents' Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996. Her death has remained unsolved for almost 10 years. No other details in the case were immediately available.

Haven't done that on this case unfortunately, thus all I know is what I've heard through the media. Obviously trusting them would be a mistake, however you'd swear there was everything but a smoking gun to prove the parents did it based on the way they've talked over the years.

Queen Prawn Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Honestly, I did suspect the dad in this case, but I do not know if what I have read is accurate or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The Boulder PD screwed the pooch on the initial response and investigation so badly that no one will every be convicted. Also, while it is not what would be characterized as real evidence, I was pretty sure what happened when I saw their 60 minutes interview. Here is the scene... The interviewer asks the mother a question: "Do you believe the person who did this should get the death penalty?" Her answer? She paused a few seconds, then broke down into tears. One of them did it. I'd stake my reputation on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mothers killing non-infant daughters, especially in violent close quarters like that, is very, very unusual. She also may have done it by proxy.

I'd agree, if she did it, that's why. When I say by proxy, I meant that she had someone else do the dirty work for her. That would explain the note in writing like hers, her weird behavior on police arrival, the disappearance of police equipment when only she and they were there, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I thought the mother did it, but she's dead, so I figured the only way there could be an arrest is if it was the dad, since I would be shocked to learn one of the parents didn't do it.

DABearSoX Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Wow, this is quite amuzing, simply for the fact that I live 2 blocks away from the house (House is on 15th I live on 14th) and this is the first I have herd of it today. Granted I have been at work all day. Oh and by the way.....its still for sale PLUS the address has been changed so it doesnt match with the 911 call, how clever QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) The mother passed away earlier this year didn't she?? I'm shocked somebody was arrested and it wasn't the father. The day her mom passed away you should have seen it here in Boulder. It was the weirdest weather I have ever been apart of. A gigantic hail storm passed through bout a half hour straight of golf ball sized hail. After it was all done with there was about 2 1/2 inches of slush on the ground it looked like snow in June. Me and some buddies talked of the notion that it was an act of God on the day of her passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
