A new look into the JonBenet Ramsey case

September 18, 2016 By Alice

JonBenet Ramsey on CBS — From CBS

Tonight, a new team explores the JonBenet Ramsey case.

Jim Clemente (FBI-ret. and profiler) joined by Laura Richards (formerly from New Scotland Yard), Dr. Henry Lee, Dr. Werner Spitz, James Fitzgerald, Stan Burke, and Chief James Kolar will discuss and reinvestigate the JonBenet Ramsey case tonight (Sept 18th) on CBS at 8:30 Eastern and 8:00pm Pacific and Monday night (Sept 19th) on CBS at 9:00pm. Please check your time zone for the correct time slot and local channel.

The docu-series condenses about 300 hours of footage, interviews, and tests in a 4 hour documentary. The team hopes to get to the truth about what happened to JonBenet. Hopefully it will help the Boulder DA to resolve this cold case.

From Wikipedia: “JonBenet Patricia Ramsey was a six-year-old American child beauty queen who was murdered in her home in Boulder, Colorado, in 1996. Her father, John Ramsey, found her body in the basement of the family home about eight hours after she was reported missing. She had been struck on the head and strangled. The case remains unsolved, even after several grand jury hearings, and continues to generate public and media interest.”

Many people in this documentary are members of the American Investigative Society Of Cold Cases (AISOCC) as am I. The new AISOCC website is under construction.

[…] so many of you I watched the two CBS specials on the JonBenét Ramsey case. A lot became clearer but I am still foggy on many […]

I am a true crime writer who analyses old, unsolved cases from the pre-DNA era. I try to raise awareness for those cases as they need renewed media attention. I only do research. I leave the active investigation of these cases to professionals.

My posts are about homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to old cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme and research. It remains my prerogative to not review a book.

My database has about 3000 cases listed by the victim’s last name. You will find a brief description there as well.

All case suggestions that come in by email for writing considerations are added to my to-do list in the order in which they were received. Please be patient as my to-do list is very long.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the about page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you still cannot find the answer there, please contact me.

Thank you, Alice de Sturler
