didn t. that s the truth. subsequently 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. john s definitively was cleared yours was not? mine scored 4.5 out of 5. 5 is no match. there are investigators who say patsy ramsey could not be excluded as an author. it s very subjective. three months after jonbenet s murder, police were no closer to an arrest. the d.a. made a bold move, hiring veteran homicide detective lou schmidt.
ramsey s from the boulder da. to come out and say we definitely conclude that these folks can be exonerated is an inaccurate portrayal of the evidence. current boulder da says an apology to the ramsey s was inappropriate. it created the impression that the evidence in the case is much clearer than it is. the received very compromised. after a dozen years of being suspects, the entire ramsey family was officially cleared. people have asked me was that like a celebratory moment? no, okay. now let s solve the case. but the case went cold again. then in 2013, another bomb shell. i had a strong sense that there was a huge story here that had been missed. reporter charlie brenen investigated and broke a shocking story. i was able to persuade
the jury recommended indicting john and patsy ramsey for child abuse resulting in death and accessory to first degree murder. there is insufficient evidence to bring charges at this time. but alex hunter, the d.a. at the time, declined to prosecute the ramseys. hunter would not return our calls. you must have been shocked. shocked would be accurate. it s extremely unusual that a district attorney not sign an indictment when a grand jury returns a true bill. with the charges that the grand jury had voted to indict, are they referring to a third person? it does appear that the theory they were looking at assumed that maybe someone other than the two ramsey parents had been involved in what happened. john ramsey, although well aware of the grand jury s decision, has his own opinion. what we were indicted for, which was nonsense, was child abuse resulting in death. and we were told, well, you didn t protect your child.
some police claim they think they hear that. we would challenge the police to release that tape. let s make it public. they never did. burke was eventually cleared as a suspect, and to this day whatever is heard at the end of that 911 call is a mystery. nearly two years after the murder of jonbenet ramsey the investigation was frozen. the boulder district attorney convened a grand jury. the proceedings were top secret, but what we do know is that for the next 13 months jurors heard testimony covering every detail of the case. john and patsy ramsey were not asked to testify. we were fully prepared to be indicted at the end of the grand jury. i mean, we dealt with a custody letter. for burke. he was going to go with my brother. we signed the papers to do that. finally the d.a. came forward with the long awaited news. the boulder grand jury has
