curious finding in the autopsy. the small intestine is described as containing fragmented fruit material, which may represent fragments of pineapple. but the ramseys had said they put jonbenet to bed right after the car ride home, and had no memory of her eating pineapple. that became a contentious point. i said, look i could say i forgot, i gave her pineapple, but i didn t. that s the truth. subsequently, both patsy ramsey and burke ramsey s fingerprints were found on that bowl. that led to another police theory. i m just wondering if at some point, jonbenet came back down to the kitchen, had gotten pineapple out and patsy just lost it. after that, it was all cover-up. and police were still suspicious about the ransom note. the ramseys had submitted multiple handwriting samples.
i mean, on the suspect list is santa claus. and a guy who had been in the ramsey house playing santa. john ramsey later told police he thought santa claus was a strong possibility. you got any ideas who this could be? bill mcreynolds. he and jonbenet had a special little bond. she worshipped him as santa claus. we later find out his daughter had been kidnapped something like a decade before, his wife had written a play about a little girl who was killed. it seemed a good lead, but after multiple dna and writing samples, mcreynolds and his wife were cleared. john also pointed to their housekeeper and her husband. linda hoffman pew had been employed by the ramseys for a while. she had asked patsy to borrow $2,000 shortly before christmas. police searched the housekeeper s home and found possible evidence linking the couple to jonbenet.
typical boy. and a daughter, jonbenet. she was very proud that she was named after me because my name is john bennett ramsey. she just had this effervescent personality, just like patsy. just, tah-dah, here i am. home had been atlanta, georgia, where jonbenet was born in 1990. the family moved to boulder the next year to expand john s software company. the business grew quickly. the ramseys owned a private plane and bought this 7,000-square foot house in town. do you remember the first time you ever came here? i do. it was a christmas party. every room was decorated with huge trees. patsy gave us a personal tour of every room. you couldn t help but be excited and happy with patsy around. she just always had fun. energetic and beautiful, jonbenet seemed to be following
there was significance derived by some observers from that fact, in that papatsy, a former miss west virginia, would never be seen wearing the same thing twice. and police accused both the ramseys of acting peculiar. they never really reacted like parents. if it was my daughter that had been killed, i d be sitting at the police department every day. there s been so much publicity, saying the ramseys wouldn t talk with police. no, that s total fiction. we talked to them in the home, went down to the basement, talked to them. they kept persisting, we ve got to take you down to the police station. instead, the ramseys both hired attorneys and gave their first interview, not to the police, but to cnn. do you want water before we start, or i would like a drink. yeah. yeah, that was a mistake. it was a decision we made, but not under our right state of mind. you believe that someone outside your home there is a killer on the
tree at the christmas party hop at 6 years old, she had become a little local celebrity. she was in the christmas parade. had a float with her name on the side. a big mistake. it gets back to this protecting your children. we let a lot of people into our home, and we thought it was an ozzie and harriet kind of place and turned out it wasn t. christmas morning of 1996, that seemed like a wonderful morning. well, we had a big christmas planned that year. jonbenet got a bicycle? uh-huh. she wasn t great at it. we went out in the back. i was kind of holding the seat, and she would be able to get going. this was the last photo taken of jonbenet. it is forever etched in her father s memory. and i remember that, that she wanted to keep riding her bike, and, oh, we got to go. we had to go out to some friends, and, so, daddy, mreets,
