On December 26, 1994, JonBenét was initially reported missing from her home, located in the 700th block of 15th Street in Boulder, Colorado.
A note had been found by the victim’s mother, Patsy Ramsey, which indicated that her daughter had been kidnapped. It demanded a $118,000 ransom be delivered in exchange for JonBenét’s life.

“We have your daughter in our possession. She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter” wrote the sender, who claimed to be from a “group of individuals” representing a “small foreign faction.”
When police arrived to search the house, they stumbled upon the unfortunate scene of the six-year-old, lying lifeless.

Detectives have allegedly followed over 21,000 tips, letters, and emails to find her killer and have spoken with more than 1,000 people over the years.
In 2006, a man confessed to the murder, but DNA evidence cleared him. Two years later, JonBenét’s parents and her older brother Burke were also cleared.

As of 2024, the case remains open, and JonBenét’s father refuses to lose hope.
“If it stays in the hands of the Boulder Police, it will not be solved, period,” John said. “If they accept help, all the help that’s out there, that’s available and offered, it will be solved. Yes, I believe it will be solved.”
