I can’t even begin to describe the impact of the work crime junkies have been doing. Thank you for your time and dedication to bring these cases to us Ashley❤
She brings up Burke getting up in the middle of the night-instantly John crosses his arms. Ashley says did he hear anything that night, etc and John says “We never asked”. What the actual f. Seriously. People believe this man? About anything???
Same! And I would not leave my other child alone in his room!!!! Always something that changes when he does the interviews??? And he owned a plane, smaller plane and a yacht and 2 homes……selling just those things should have kept them afloat…..they don’t know “poor” “broke”!
Maybe you shouldn’t claim to know how you would behave in a tragic situation because you don’t actually know. I’m sure Burke was interviewed at the time and likely had years of therapy. It might have been difficult for them to talk with each other about details of what was likely the worst day of their lives.
@@TheAngryKilljoy but during the time their daughter is only considered missing and not dead. You wouldn’t ask everybody in the house if they heard anything or seen anything? Bffr.
I've always been intrigued by this case because it was all over the news when I was a little girl. Jon Benet and I are around the same age. I never thought the parents were involved, but had some suspicions just based on all of the information or misinformation that is out there. This interview has completely changed my view of a lot of preconceived notions/ideas/beliefs I had. I saw a different side of John and now really pity the hand he's been dealt. I look forward to all the things you all are working on, and pray that there is justice for JonBenet and her family sometime soon.
Native Coloradan and CU Boulder grad. What a great interview, gave me a lot of perspective. Tempted to organize a Justice for JonBenet rally in front of Boulder PD.
Do it. Please do it. They failed this little girl on so many levels from the very beginning. And pressure from the public is going to be the only way to get their asses in gear and start testing stuff they’ve refused to test even when John has offered to foot the bill for the new testing so it does not cost the government a penny. It’s ridiculous why would you not accept it and let him pay your labs and make some kind of way forward for Justice for this baby.
So, some people actually think the 9 year old brother killed her. And the parents then sent him to their friend’s place to hang out with their child, let Burke’s friend go to Atlanta with them, let him be interviewed by psychologists for the police, and all the while little Burke never said a word about what he did. Thats quite the shrewd 9 year old.
He was one month shy of turning 10. And it’s not like they had a slew of options that morning. They either had to have a stern talking with him about not saying anything and get him out of the house, or they could allow him to remain in the home for their friends and police to witness his incredibly odd and unconcerned demeanor. Also, John and Patsy had to consent to Burke being interviewed by a psychologist who worked for DSS or he would have been removed from their care. Any sibling of a child found murdered in their own home has to be interviewed so that it can be determined if their life is at risk. The psychologist who interviewed him made notes about his very odd behavior and recommended a follow up but it never happened.
@@Nmae353I understand all of that, but I think it’s highly unlikely that any 9 or 10 year old would be able to hide the fact that he hurt/killed his sister. I also don’t believe that John and Patsy, whose mission supposedly was to cover up for Burke, to protect him, would’ve let him go off with other people. I can’t believe he wouldn’t have told one or more of his little friends what happened. JMO
@@tiffanyquick7067He was actually caught discussing manual strangulation 2 days after the murder with a friend. John and Patsy always maintained that they never told Burke how JonBenet was killed and instructed the people in their inner circle to do the same. One of Patsy’s friends who was at their home noted that it was almost 8am and very odd that Burke had still not woken up yet when he was always an early riser around 5:30am. Any young kid is definitely not going to be sleeping in the morning after Christmas when they are still feeling the excitement of playing with new toys. John went to supposedly wake him up and he was out of the home by 8:10am. They wanted Burke out of the house for the exact same reason John intervened TWICE when an officer tried to ask Burke if he saw or heard anything the night of the murder before he left. Make whatever excuse you like, but if there is a chance your other child might have been aware of anything that could possibly help find your daughter, you will absolutely question him and have zero problems allowing him to speak to a police officer. Innocent parents would be desperate for answers and do anything to get them. John refused to allow Burke to be questioned and the parents were absolutely furious that an officer at their friend’s home spoke to Burke later in the day. Why in the world would they be so upset that authorities were trying to get some leads to help find their daughter and thought Burke might be able to help?
@@Dollyspeaks211it’s touch DNA, probably not even enough to be tested and likely from someone packaging the product be for it was sold, why do you think it has never been tested? John knows this. Also former DA Mary Lacy received a lot of criticism for ‘clearing’ them over this.
@@Dollyspeaks211 haha this is not a DNA case. The DNA means nothing. It was TOUCH DNA! If an intruder wasn't wearing gloves there would be DNA everywhere...there wasn't. If an intruder was wearing gloves there would be no touch DNA. Plus the DNA was contaminated as well. John is guilty
@@tshea5833The DNA is from an unknown male. It was found under her fingernails. It was found in 2 blood spots in her underpants. Her blood mixed with his saliva. when touch DNA testing became available, the same unknown male DNA was found on the waistband of her longjohns. What do you not understand about this?
Yes! He always has a story, but sometimes has to embellish more. How do you NOT know who you have your ATM card to if they're going to withdraw $118,000.00? Lots of important names or info he can't remember, but knows lots of laws. Crossing his arms at times. I especially noticed as Ashley ended the interview, immediately closed up. So much in this video. And lots of dead people who can't speak to this.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever listened to, period. Ashley, you and your team are just phenomenal. Thank you so much for the effort you've put into this. What an insane perspective this interview invokes. You did such a good job at making him feel comfortable, but still asking the hard questions. You could tell he was losing steam until you brought up the legislation and gave him something to focus on. He went somewhere on some of those questions. I hope one day we find out where.
Ashley and D’elia truly have a gift in investigative journalism. I love their ability to connect facts and emotion, and create an honest interview because despite everything with this case specifically, she was able to crack this guy open a bit.
I don't remember ever hearing about Burke's friend. Has he ever been looked into? The mom was just like yeah family who've been attacked/had a tragedy, take my son with you across the country. Like what??
Same! Never heard this before. WHY would they say yes to taking someone else’s kid and why would that kids mom send her son with a family who’s daughter was just murdered HOURS before. He even said Patsy was sedated in Atlanta. They were in no shape to care for someone else’s young child. So weird.
John: You know your child - Burkes solid - also John: We didn't talk about it, but I didn't know he got up in the night and that may be fiction... EXCUSE ME? Burke said it himself - she just TOLD YOU THAT.
"also John: We didn't talk about it, but I didn't know he got up in the night and that may be fiction..." No. Dr Phil told Burke that John told him [Dr Phil] that Burke snuck downstairs.
Burke later said that he’s not sure if he got up. In the interview shortly after the murder, Burke didn’t mentioned getting up. Only waking up but remaining in bed. He was a child at the time, and didn’t understand the extent of the situation. Fabricated memories are a common occurance, especially for children. How many children have told you outlandish tales, with complete conviction and certainty?
@@Aiffam1 How about he doesn't consider going down to the 1st/ground floor between 9:30 -10 just shortly after he went to bed to be getting up in the middle of the night?
He went through an extremely traumatic childhood so Burke beat the odds by becoming a normal adult. His mom beat cancer, during his childhood, he lost his older sister in a car accident and his younger sister was murdered. How many people live through that and don’t turn to drugs or alcohol?
Burke was awake early. Patsy thought she had hung up the phone w/911 but hadn’t. She went from hysterical acting to calm. Burke asked "what did you see?" It’s here on YT. The 911 operator couldn’t believe how Patsy’s demeanor changed
So excited to finally hear your and Brit interpretation of the case and mostly your opinions of what you think about this case. I’ve been waiting since day 1.
I have a 7 year old daughter and a 9 year old son…if he was down stairs that evening, you can bet your ass I’d be asking him every question I could think of. I wouldn’t literally hide him, pretend the night never happened and neglect to ask even one question about that night. That is insane to me. This only makes me think that Burk hit her over the head with the flashlight fighting over her eating some of his pineapple and they covered it up.
These ppl have had enough money to hire top PI’s, get outside DNA Labs and paragon/and genetic testing. And stop doing interviews unless you’re talking about the efforts to find her/marketing. Jeezzzz same ole, same ole!
@@SisterGoldenHair212 The parents don’t have custody of the DNA material, the police does. And Boulder police is refusing to perform additional test on the DNA samples they have, because these analysis methods are destructive. BPD don’t want to destroy the little dna material they have in case more advanced dna sequencing or analysis techniques become avaliable in the future. But you have to wonder if waiting to solve her murder is whats best for her loved ones.
Crazy to think that we may be listening to this murderer talk and laughing in his head for the millionth time on national tv! OR Listening to an innocent man who just wants to know a final answer.
I've chosen to believe the Ramseys. They have been cleared, and I only see a man that misses his little girl. He's advocated for advanced DNA testing and does countless interviews to keep the pressure. Guilty parents don't do that.
You asked some of the best questions I've ever heard asked of John. I know so many people believe he's guilty in some aspect, but I've never thought any of the family members were involved. I'm so sorry he's had to carry his unanswered grief for so long.
As someone who lived in Boulder and was not raised there.... I can say this behavior is odd for normal people but Boulder is normal. It is in fact it's own strange bubble. They call it the Republic of Boulder for a reason.
John didn't get away with it. The whole world knows, even if he didn't spend time behind bars. And he would have lived a terrible life...always looking over his shoulder. A prison sentence for life.
It’s really disappointing to see how many people are still acting like this case is solved. Keep your suspicions about this family to yourself - especially about people who were literally just children at the time. They have suffered so much as a result of this. Be grateful that you don’t understand the reactions
I feel so bad for him. Anyone picking apart his actions needs to take a breath, they literally found unidentified male DNA in her underwear - crime junkie has covered several cases where the cops assume they know who did it and mishandle cases because of their bias. A similar situation happened in their same neighborhood months later - like yes, the case is unsolved and things are weird but can you imagine the torment of her family? Holding them & how they acted or what they questioned, etc to the standards of what we know now in 2024 is insanity. I don’t know who did this, but I do know the public has given him the satisfaction of destroying not only her, but also her parents.
I still believe Burke did this and both John & Patsy covered it up. Even after this interview I still belive that. I hope the truth will come to light one of these days.
John covered for Patsy for having inflicted the craniocerebral trauma (anger/jealous rage/provocation) because of incest. Patsy covered for John committing incest because she inflicted the craniocerebral trauma.
this is rough, idk about some of these answers. but at the same time this is such an unimaginable situation who knows if you would remember a damn thing.
Thank you for doing this interview. I have to say though, I wish you'd have pushed a bit harder on a few things. -This may be unimportant but his assertion that they weren't rich is bizarre considering all we know about their finances. -He says they left to Georgia because they were in shock and didn't know better but how could people have not told them leaving was a bad idea? Wouldn't the police have told them not to leave? -He remembers the conversations he had with his brother and assistant about Fleet but not a single detail about the interaction with Fleet? -His reaction to bringing up the Dr. Phil interview almost suggested that he didn't know anything about it and then his answer didn't seem to fit with the interview content. Did you play him the actual clip?
For all the people bashing him for not remembering some things, trama horribly effects the memory. I don’t remember chunks of my childhood because of trama. Just because he doesn’t remember things doesn’t make him guilty. Also, DNA doesn’t lie.
@@sampaigemusic he doesn’t forget, he contradicts himself. It doesn’t matter if there is foreign DNA, that doesn’t exclude John whose DNA was all over the body and crime scene. What you are failing to understand is, he knows all too well whose DNA is also on her body and the powers to be will never test it. Even if they did, there is no DNA profile of anyone in that ring. There are people in high places who ensure this will never be solved.
"Also, DNA doesn’t lie." You mean the DNA that was said to be freshly-deposited but, when it was tested, had fewer than the minimum of 10 markers required to place it into CODIS? That DNA?
@@Aiffam1 Did I say it wasn't DNA, yes or no? If it had been freshly-deposited that night, then it would've had far more than the fewer than 10 markers.
My son was killed instantly in a freak accident.I can’t even tell you who was at his home going.I was like a zombie and felt like I was outside my body.Him saying he doesn’t remember I can relate to that.
My heart breaks for John and his family…. I hope they can find the actual killer. No one ever believed that the immediate family had anything to do with it. My prayers to the entire family❤️❤️❤️
Wow great interview this is the best John Ramsey interview I have ever seen . Such a nice guy I feel so bad for him . I really hope one day the world will know the truth . Hopefully while he is still with us .
@@davidconlin7641 You are to believe that an intruder would take about 25 minutes to write a crazy 3 page ransom letter, with the Ramsey's own notepad/Sharpie, and then not kidnap her. He murders Jonbenet with stuff he just happens to find around the house. He was so nice to feed her some pineapple. 🙄 How did the intruder get in the house? Not through the basement window that had undisturbed spiderwebs.
@@Alex-Trejo I believe Lou smitt solved over 200 homicides and Steve Thomas solved 0. And the fact that John Ramsey DESPERATELY wants the fbi to test the dna. There is literally dna on her that doesn't match the family . DNA was under fingernails and on her underwear and it's the same dna .....that's obviously the killer . So no the evidence points towards intruder if u look at the evidence and not conspiracy theories .
It makes sense that if the killer hated John, the sexual abuse would torture John for the rest of his life. But also the killer was deranged with his sexual fantasies.
It is illogical that a stranger broke in, killed her, and then took time to write a long-winded note. The father or mother killed her accidentally and the rest was a massive cover-up aided by incompetent police.
Not if the killer broke in as soon as they left for the party. The killer was already in the house when they returned. The killer also expects you to think things were illogical.
Not if you are a sadistic pdf file that enjoys hurting little children, is jealous of John's financial succes and is obsessed with movies about children being kidnapped. That fake ransom note might be part of the perps fantasy.
I thought that there were actually no real signs of a break in. The broken window had spider webs undistubed. But what I always think about is there is no way a stranger can walk all around a house at night up and down stairs, down hallways, into a bedroom, write a note and basically having the run of the house without being detected.
@@bogeysbabyWell, if you are trusting that this is a dna case, that means there were 6 intruders who magically went undetected and not one of them left a full dna profile behind. Talk about sheer luck 😆
Geez John really screwed up in this interview. Most people believe he is guilty (to what degree can be debated), but he's done himself no favours in this interview. He was really caught off guard when being asked about Burke coming downstairs that night. He then said he didn't know Burke had done this. And then says when he found out after the Dr Phil show, he never spoke to Burke about this. LOL! LOL! LOL! This is hilarious. So Burke never mentioned this to his parents in 25 years. And then when John finds out he doesn't bring it up. Even though it would have been the time and "intruder" was hiding in the house hahaha. And then John tried to change tactics and says it was fiction and Burke didn't understand the question. Ummm....the question was a very clear/simple one. Burke was a grown man and answered the question honestly. John did not come off looking good from this interview. Anyone who watches this will only be more certain if his guilt. Let's watch John try and have this video removed from RUclips now haha.
@@9_GOAT exactly! He added a few more NEVER heard details too....like his house keeper saw John Mark Karr standing in his garage of his Michigan home, AND someone had been staying in JB's bedroom. No big deal! House keeper just thought they allowed him to stay. No where EVER has this been told and also, Burke had a friend that flew w them hours after his sister was brutally murdered? Nonsense. He was trying to throw new details. He couldn't even answer that YES he arranged his private pilot Mr Archuletta to fly them out hours after the murder and John and Patsy refused to have formal police interviews. John was at the airport most of the day on Christmas day "packing the airplane ". He someone just got all jumbled about that. And he also was jumbled with arms crossed when asked about Burke coming downstairs that night!! Burke was eating pineapple and playing w a Christmas toy. And then....... We know the rest
"He was really caught off guard when being asked about Burke coming downstairs that night. He then said he didn't know Burke had done this. And then says when he found out after the Dr Phil show, he never spoke to Burke about this. LOL! LOL! LOL! This is hilarious. So Burke never mentioned this to his parents in 25 years. And then when John finds out he doesn't bring it up. Even though it would have been the time and "intruder" was hiding in the house hahaha." It was Dr Phil who said to Burke that John told him [Dr Phil] that Burke snuck downstairs. Since John said it first, John knew.
New Zealand is going through a similar case … listen to the podcast The boy in the water . The entire town believes the mother knows and like Burke the town believes the older brother did it .
Excellent 👌 interview with hindsight is 20/20 viewpoint. John gives credible and logical responses to my satisfaction. It may be the amount of true crime flooding the web has made us all a bit jaded. I have been pulled backwards and forwards on the roles of the family, guilty or not-guilty. In retrospect all the misinformation stirred in the same way as actual evidence created a fog.The obvious failures of law enforcement on scene in the initial response botched the investigation. The tragedy of losing his daughter is on display for all to witness. 😢
I’m so happy you’re covering this case and bringing awareness to it. The DNA evidence part of this interview baffled me as to why the Boulder Colorado police department never had it tested when it’s in their possession. What also irked me is how little information they shared with the John and Patsy Ramsey except for the yearly visits. I could understand why at first because they were suspects but feel like they could have shared it later on once they were cleared. I just don’t understand why they don’t want to work with John Ramsey in helping this case be solved. It makes no sense unless they did lose the evidence or covering something up.
Exactly!!!! if this was a real kidnapping, they could’ve easily walked right out of the door front or back. Supposedly the back door was a jar. They knew the alarm would be off. They also knew they wouldn’t have to crawl out of a window with the child. This was a real kidnapping. They would’ve walked out of the house and that would’ve been it. That phone would’ve rang on top of that if these were kidnappers are a kidnapper that was also a pedo then he would take the child to his home or wherever and follow through with his sick desires, and the figuring out the ransom. You don’t have a ransom and a child kidnapped for ransom that’s laying in the basement of your house dead none of that makes any sense at all.!!! and that’s the crime. This murder will never be solved.
"Supposedly the back door was a jar." John wrote on pg 366 of DoI that there was a police diagram that stated the butler kitchen door was found unlocked and open.
I forget the word now, but he used a fancy word at some point to describe something. I thought of the attachè or whatever word used in the ransom note. He disappeared to the basement for a while, then later found her when the detective told him to look around to see if things are missing.
I feel sympathetic towards John. To lose two daughters is unfathomable. Don't bother replying to me if you think they (or Burke) killed her. Parents do not garrote their babies. Move on.
This interview was the best thing I've seen to support his innocence. This poor man has been through so much. I hope the new police chief does the right thing for this case 🙏 Great job, Ashley! Can't wait for a follow-up video 🤞🤞
Thank you for doing this interview! My opinion is it wasn't the family, but still just a heartbreaking case. Hopefully they will eventually catch the real killer!
This case has been one I have avoided for a long time. It seemed mired in misinformation before the dreaded “alternative facts” became our unfortunate reality. Thankfully there are a few journalists I feel I can trust to really do the work to get the facts and convey them in a way that makes sense. Thank you crime junkie for taking on this juggernaut of a case.
😝 all of these comments say the same thing praising what a great interview he gives.... Give me a break!! it was jonbenet's brother !!!!!! And nobody wants to talk about that! Afraid they will be sued
I just don't believe that if someone was mad at John that they would sexually assault and murder his daughter. I just don't. If it was about money maybe they'd do a ransom but the MO just doesn't fit with a sexual predator. I'm not an expert by any means but I've watched 1,000s of crime interviews and read books about killers and followed many investigations. I think if he was about to get caught the would run not take more time to hurt her and sexually assault her.
He sure doesn’t remember a lot about the traumatic murder of his daughter… particularly his violent altercation with fleet white?? Who doesn’t remember something like that? I don’t like it. Ashley, I appreciate how hard you pushed him on certain things! You didn’t baby him in this interview. He knows way more than he is letting on.
He’s 80 years old trying to remember every detail from almost 30 years ago. Obviously he remembers most details but some things he isn’t going to remember as clearly that’s just what happens over time. Also the case is unsolved so I find it ridiculous that you say “he knows more than he’s letting on” as if it’s a fact. If it’s found that it was an intruder then everyone speculating owes that whole family an apology.
@@niamhsteeleeAn intruder that took about 25 minutes to write a 3 page crazy ransom letter, using the Ramsey's notepad/Sharpie and then he doesn't even kidnap her. The intruder also was nice enough to feed her some pineapple. There was no evidence an intruder entered the house. If you believe an intruder was the killer, then I have 3 bridges to sell you. 😂😂😂
@@Alex-Trejo The Ramsey's were gone for hours on Christmas day giving an intruder plenty of time to come in look around and write a ransom note. Of course he would use the Ramsey's own stationary, why would he want to risk getting caught carrying the ransom note into the house with one? Or perhaps saw the stationary sitting there and decided to write one. And as many experienced investigators and profilers have stated this was a kidnapping gone wrong so that would explain leaving her body there. Need I remind you of the suitcase with Jonbenets clothing fibres and a Dr Suess book inside. We also don't know at what point JonBenet ate the pineapple. Time cannot be attributed to fingerprints. Not a single piece of evidence to me says that a Ramsey commitedvthe crime.
The police/agency in charge would run every DNA test available now if they really still thought a family member did it. They apparently are not doing so.
Looking back at the note, the use of John’s name multiple times towards the end sticks out to me. Especially when you consider Patsys account of when Fleet barged in when they were with the priest and his repeated use of John’s name.
Great interview! FYI: FamilyTreeDNA allows law enforcement use of their database for genetic genealogy with user consent. I don't think law enforcement will ever lose the ability to use investigative genetic genealogy. It will most likely be litigated all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. I believe its use by law enforcement will be upheld.
Brilliant interview btw. John has put a lot of money into controlling the narrative and he is getting old and wasn’t expecting to meet his match. When he would say his usual things like ‘what would you do if it was your daughter’, he wanted you to say you would have done the same as he did.. you didn’t and he squirmed and filled in his own answer. You trapped him on so much of his bs, it was beautiful. The only thing I wish you would have confronted him with is ‘so tell me about pr*ject m*narch & why when they found a video called ‘how to create a mind c*ntrolled sl*ve’ it was hidden under the interest of national security.
45:38 Fleet didn't see JonBenet when he opened the wine cellar door that morning because he couldn't find the light switch and didn't step inside of the room. JonBenet was to the left in the bottom of the room.
Wow! I wish I had a CJ to watch this with. I picked it to pieces, minute by minute! Reading the body language, and responding in way that she knows makes him feel that he can be more open, because he thinks she's believing him. Unless I read that all wrong. The person responsible will be "identified" when they're (he's) dead. Ijs
The dad was sleep and the mom was up all night … He already said she never came to bed that night. So he doesn’t know what happened. I believe that but the mom knew something
Am I the only one who didn't know John Ramsey had already looked in the basement before finding Jonbenet? I thought the first time he went in the basement is when he found Jonbenet. I've watched so much on this case, this is the first time he mentions this but I may be wrong?
He looked in the basement earlier yes, with Fleet who was the one who supposedly looked in that small room at that time, not John. John looked in that room off the main basement room on the second search.
there’s a channel called hell is empty, and they have a fantastic video on this case. it’s one of the best i’ve ever seen. they mention this and the rest of the events of that morning in great detail.
IMHO, Burke struck JonBenet in the head with the flashlight after she put her hand in his bowl of pineapple to get her some. Don’t believe he intentionally killed her though, but don’t believe he really cared that she did die. He wasn’t getting any attention from his father, who was always gone, and his mother, who was always giving most of her attention to JonBenet. I believe JonBenet lived for a little while after being struck, and the parents didn’t realize how severely she had been hurt. Once she died, the coverup began to not only protect Burke, but to also protect their precious image and the person who had been violating JonBenet in her private area. Everything just kept snowballing, because the intruder story and the ridiculous ransom letter was off the chain, as well as, all their lies and odd behavior. 😢 Just my opinion.
Patsy (anger/jealous rage/provocation) whacked JonBenet across the upper right side of her head with the barrel of the flashlight. John, who had been caught committing incest, was present.
No way on God's green earth does a parent " just wanna go home to Atlanta " after there child was found like this!!! No way, no how!!! He is part of the cover up & he keeps telling on himself.
It's so obvious he knows something. Even after all those years he's so full of B.S Yeah obviously everything he said was misinterpreted, ofc he forgot crucial details, ofc he doesn't remember what was said to him or what happened... he's so guilty !! Not for the death but I wouldn't be suprised if he S. Trafficked her to his friends. He's disgusting

I can’t even begin to describe the impact of the work crime junkies have been doing. Thank you for your time and dedication to bring these cases to us Ashley❤
💜💜💜
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen with him. Thank you for letting him speak so openly.
She brings up Burke getting up in the middle of the night-instantly John crosses his arms. Ashley says did he hear anything that night, etc and John says “We never asked”. What the actual f.
Seriously. People believe this man? About anything???
Right! If something happened to your daughter, I would be asking everybody everything! No questions off limits!
Same! And I would not leave my other child alone in his room!!!! Always something that changes when he does the interviews??? And he owned a plane, smaller plane and a yacht and 2 homes……selling just those things should have kept them afloat…..they don’t know “poor” “broke”!
Maybe you shouldn’t claim to know how you would behave in a tragic situation because you don’t actually know. I’m sure Burke was interviewed at the time and likely had years of therapy. It might have been difficult for them to talk with each other about details of what was likely the worst day of their lives.
@@TheAngryKilljoy but during the time their daughter is only considered missing and not dead. You wouldn’t ask everybody in the house if they heard anything or seen anything? Bffr.
I also wouldn’t let my son leave my sight if someone “kidnapped” my child. I don’t give a shit I wouldn’t trust anyone.
I've always been intrigued by this case because it was all over the news when I was a little girl. Jon Benet and I are around the same age. I never thought the parents were involved, but had some suspicions just based on all of the information or misinformation that is out there. This interview has completely changed my view of a lot of preconceived notions/ideas/beliefs I had. I saw a different side of John and now really pity the hand he's been dealt. I look forward to all the things you all are working on, and pray that there is justice for JonBenet and her family sometime soon.
Amen 🙏
Native Coloradan and CU Boulder grad. What a great interview, gave me a lot of perspective. Tempted to organize a Justice for JonBenet rally in front of Boulder PD.
Do it. Please do it. They failed this little girl on so many levels from the very beginning. And pressure from the public is going to be the only way to get their asses in gear and start testing stuff they’ve refused to test even when John has offered to foot the bill for the new testing so it does not cost the government a penny. It’s ridiculous why would you not accept it and let him pay your labs and make some kind of way forward for Justice for this baby.
So, some people actually think the 9 year old brother killed her. And the parents then sent him to their friend’s place to hang out with their child, let Burke’s friend go to Atlanta with them, let him be interviewed by psychologists for the police, and all the while little Burke never said a word about what he did. Thats quite the shrewd 9 year old.
He was one month shy of turning 10. And it’s not like they had a slew of options that morning. They either had to have a stern talking with him about not saying anything and get him out of the house, or they could allow him to remain in the home for their friends and police to witness his incredibly odd and unconcerned demeanor. Also, John and Patsy had to consent to Burke being interviewed by a psychologist who worked for DSS or he would have been removed from their care. Any sibling of a child found murdered in their own home has to be interviewed so that it can be determined if their life is at risk. The psychologist who interviewed him made notes about his very odd behavior and recommended a follow up but it never happened.
Maybe they wanted him out the house as they knew eventually the body would be found at some point that day and didn’t want Burke witnessing that.
@@Nmae353I understand all of that, but I think it’s highly unlikely that any 9 or 10 year old would be able to hide the fact that he hurt/killed his sister. I also don’t believe that John and Patsy, whose mission supposedly was to cover up for Burke, to protect him, would’ve let him go off with other people. I can’t believe he wouldn’t have told one or more of his little friends what happened. JMO
@@tiffanyquick7067He was actually caught discussing manual strangulation 2 days after the murder with a friend. John and Patsy always maintained that they never told Burke how JonBenet was killed and instructed the people in their inner circle to do the same.
One of Patsy’s friends who was at their home noted that it was almost 8am and very odd that Burke had still not woken up yet when he was always an early riser around 5:30am. Any young kid is definitely not going to be sleeping in the morning after Christmas when they are still feeling the excitement of playing with new toys. John went to supposedly wake him up and he was out of the home by 8:10am. They wanted Burke out of the house for the exact same reason John intervened TWICE when an officer tried to ask Burke if he saw or heard anything the night of the murder before he left. Make whatever excuse you like, but if there is a chance your other child might have been aware of anything that could possibly help find your daughter, you will absolutely question him and have zero problems allowing him to speak to a police officer. Innocent parents would be desperate for answers and do anything to get them. John refused to allow Burke to be questioned and the parents were absolutely furious that an officer at their friend’s home spoke to Burke later in the day. Why in the world would they be so upset that authorities were trying to get some leads to help find their daughter and thought Burke might be able to help?
Burke did it.. She pinched the pineapple he whacked her with the torch and the parents covered it up...
Sometimes arms crossing is comforting yourself its not always defensive.
Ashley, you did an amazing job on this interview...you are really awesome and I enjoyed listening to John...thank you
Best interview of John that I've ever seen - Well Done!!!
He's a pro at answering these questions by now. Plus, he holds all the answers so it's no sweat.
THERES DNA! He’s been cleared. Give it a rest
@@Dollyspeaks211it’s touch DNA, probably not even enough to be tested and likely from someone packaging the product be for it was sold, why do you think it has never been tested? John knows this. Also former DA Mary Lacy received a lot of criticism for ‘clearing’ them over this.
@@Dollyspeaks211 haha this is not a DNA case. The DNA means nothing. It was TOUCH DNA! If an intruder wasn't wearing gloves there would be DNA everywhere...there wasn't. If an intruder was wearing gloves there would be no touch DNA. Plus the DNA was contaminated as well.
John is guilty
@@tshea5833The DNA is from an unknown male. It was found under her fingernails. It was found in 2 blood spots in her underpants. Her blood mixed with his saliva. when touch DNA testing became available, the same unknown male DNA was found on the waistband of her longjohns. What do you not understand about this?
Yes! He always has a story, but sometimes has to embellish more. How do you NOT know who you have your ATM card to if they're going to withdraw $118,000.00? Lots of important names or info he can't remember, but knows lots of laws. Crossing his arms at times. I especially noticed as Ashley ended the interview, immediately closed up. So much in this video. And lots of dead people who can't speak to this.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever listened to, period. Ashley, you and your team are just phenomenal. Thank you so much for the effort you've put into this. What an insane perspective this interview invokes. You did such a good job at making him feel comfortable, but still asking the hard questions. You could tell he was losing steam until you brought up the legislation and gave him something to focus on. He went somewhere on some of those questions. I hope one day we find out where.
Fleet was in the navy. Navy folks learn lots of knots. After seeing both of these videos and looking more into him, he’s near the top of my list.
John was a Civil Engineer Corps officer in the U.S. Navy and he had been stationed in the Philippines where they used to execute people via garroting.
So excited for this full interview!
“I don’t remember I don’t remember” proceeds to repeat conversation with fleet?
Ashley and D’elia truly have a gift in investigative journalism. I love their ability to connect facts and emotion, and create an honest interview because despite everything with this case specifically, she was able to crack this guy open a bit.
I don't remember ever hearing about Burke's friend. Has he ever been looked into? The mom was just like yeah family who've been attacked/had a tragedy, take my son with you across the country. Like what??
@@Circean161 look up The Blue Crab theory! The whole family moved with the Ramseys.
Same! Never heard this before. WHY would they say yes to taking someone else’s kid and why would that kids mom send her son with a family who’s daughter was just murdered HOURS before. He even said Patsy was sedated in Atlanta. They were in no shape to care for someone else’s young child. So weird.
The bicycle…
John: You know your child - Burkes solid -
also John: We didn't talk about it, but I didn't know he got up in the night and that may be fiction...
EXCUSE ME? Burke said it himself - she just TOLD YOU THAT.
"also John: We didn't talk about it, but I didn't know he got up in the night and that may be fiction..."
No. Dr Phil told Burke that John told him [Dr Phil] that Burke snuck downstairs.
Burke later said that he’s not sure if he got up. In the interview shortly after the murder, Burke didn’t mentioned getting up. Only waking up but remaining in bed. He was a child at the time, and didn’t understand the extent of the situation. Fabricated memories are a common occurance, especially for children. How many children have told you outlandish tales, with complete conviction and certainty?
@@Aiffam1
How about he doesn't consider going down to the 1st/ground floor between 9:30 -10 just shortly after he went to bed to be getting up in the middle of the night?
You are referencing the next morning. He never walked back the statements regarding the night before.
No one knows what happened except the killer! You can speculate forever……like everyone has done already!"u
I hope this man has found a way to peace. I feel so bad for him. Also, the incompetency of the police is truly baffling. ACAB.
ACAB? You're so ignorant.
Do you find it odd that he says “He’s a good adult”.
I thought so too. He paused before saying "adult" like he wanted to say "man" but couldn't do it.
He went through an extremely traumatic childhood so Burke beat the odds by becoming a normal adult. His mom beat cancer, during his childhood, he lost his older sister in a car accident and his younger sister was murdered. How many people live through that and don’t turn to drugs or alcohol?
Burke was awake early. Patsy thought she had hung up the phone w/911 but hadn’t. She went from hysterical acting to calm. Burke asked "what did you see?" It’s here on YT. The 911 operator couldn’t believe how Patsy’s demeanor changed
Ashley, you forgot that other CJ rule, you NEVER really know what someone’s capable of! 😊
I definitely think he’s hiding things/not being completely truthful but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s guilty of killing his daughter.
So excited to finally hear your and Brit interpretation of the case and mostly your opinions of what you think about this case. I’ve been waiting since day 1.
I have a 7 year old daughter and a 9 year old son…if he was down stairs that evening, you can bet your ass I’d be asking him every question I could think of. I wouldn’t literally hide him, pretend the night never happened and neglect to ask even one question about that night. That is insane to me. This only makes me think that Burk hit her over the head with the flashlight fighting over her eating some of his pineapple and they covered it up.
Hell of a way to cover it up. And considering the poor job of police force it doesn’t seem super plausible
And strangulation by the garrote?
These ppl have had enough money to hire top PI’s, get outside DNA Labs and paragon/and genetic testing. And stop doing interviews unless you’re talking about the efforts to find her/marketing. Jeezzzz same ole, same ole!
Exactly 💯 agree
@@SisterGoldenHair212 The parents don’t have custody of the DNA material, the police does. And Boulder police is refusing to perform additional test on the DNA samples they have, because these analysis methods are destructive. BPD don’t want to destroy the little dna material they have in case more advanced dna sequencing or analysis techniques become avaliable in the future. But you have to wonder if waiting to solve her murder is whats best for her loved ones.
Crazy to think that we may be listening to this murderer talk and laughing in his head for the millionth time on national tv! OR
Listening to an innocent man who just wants to know a final answer.
I've chosen to believe the Ramseys. They have been cleared, and I only see a man that misses his little girl. He's advocated for advanced DNA testing and does countless interviews to keep the pressure. Guilty parents don't do that.
We aren’t listening to an innocent man. He is very very evil. Pr*ject m*narch level evil.
@@jackselle4607they have not been cleared at all. They had enough money to sway the public narrative.
Or a grieving father desperately trying to find his daughters killer and instead of help and compassion is vilified
@@lostyogi8712 The DA sent the Ramseys a letter of apology in 2008, declaring the family was "completely cleared" by the DNA results..
You asked some of the best questions I've ever heard asked of John. I know so many people believe he's guilty in some aspect, but I've never thought any of the family members were involved. I'm so sorry he's had to carry his unanswered grief for so long.
Incredible interview. Best one I’ve ever seen in regards to this situation.
Parents never asked Burke ANYTHING. Guilty or not, that’s WEIRD AF
Are you listening????
I need to know more about the case he mentioned that happened 9 months after JonBenet's murder!
Was he a suspect? Hmmmm?
Absolutely brilliant interview. Thank you for your hard work. Incredible job
As someone who lived in Boulder and was not raised there.... I can say this behavior is odd for normal people but Boulder is normal. It is in fact it's own strange bubble. They call it the Republic of Boulder for a reason.
He’s lying is still my gut feeling. They got away with the crime of a century.
John didn't get away with it. The whole world knows, even if he didn't spend time behind bars. And he would have lived a terrible life...always looking over his shoulder. A prison sentence for life.
Why bother with these interviews, then?
@ surely you are kidding.
@@natashasays He's gonna play the part til he dies.
That doesn't answer my question
I'm so sorry John Ramsey😢 I can't imagine your loss and grief. Come on Boulder Police, this case is so important to so many
What a great interview. Thank you.
Great interview, Ashley. It’s such a heartbreaking story. If they can find out whose dna it is, that should be done.
Can't stop thinking of that south park episode
The arm crossing at all the right times makes me 🤔
This is by far the best interview done with him. Great job.
that medal story at the very end was heartwarming!
I have never thought the parents did it, he is telling the truth
Thank you for this.
It’s really disappointing to see how many people are still acting like this case is solved. Keep your suspicions about this family to yourself - especially about people who were literally just children at the time. They have suffered so much as a result of this. Be grateful that you don’t understand the reactions
I feel so bad for him. Anyone picking apart his actions needs to take a breath, they literally found unidentified male DNA in her underwear - crime junkie has covered several cases where the cops assume they know who did it and mishandle cases because of their bias. A similar situation happened in their same neighborhood months later - like yes, the case is unsolved and things are weird but can you imagine the torment of her family? Holding them & how they acted or what they questioned, etc to the standards of what we know now in 2024 is insanity. I don’t know who did this, but I do know the public has given him the satisfaction of destroying not only her, but also her parents.
This man is innocent!
Bravo Crime Junkies! This was so well done. I do not believe for one second the family had anything to do with this.
I still believe Burke did this and both John & Patsy covered it up. Even after this interview I still belive that. I hope the truth will come to light one of these days.
John covered for Patsy for having inflicted the craniocerebral trauma (anger/jealous rage/provocation) because of incest. Patsy covered for John committing incest because she inflicted the craniocerebral trauma.
Listen to the 911 call
ruclips.net/video/rmV6lzvVAug/видео.html
I'm sorry, now he's saying he DIDN'T contact his Pilot that afternoon?
He's a liar.
Right! And the TRUTH never changes!
this is rough, idk about some of these answers. but at the same time this is such an unimaginable situation who knows if you would remember a damn thing.
I believe John and Patsy
Thank you for doing this interview. I have to say though, I wish you'd have pushed a bit harder on a few things.
-This may be unimportant but his assertion that they weren't rich is bizarre considering all we know about their finances.
-He says they left to Georgia because they were in shock and didn't know better but how could people have not told them leaving was a bad idea? Wouldn't the police have told them not to leave?
-He remembers the conversations he had with his brother and assistant about Fleet but not a single detail about the interaction with Fleet?
-His reaction to bringing up the Dr. Phil interview almost suggested that he didn't know anything about it and then his answer didn't seem to fit with the interview content. Did you play him the actual clip?
For all the people bashing him for not remembering some things, trama horribly effects the memory. I don’t remember chunks of my childhood because of trama. Just because he doesn’t remember things doesn’t make him guilty. Also, DNA doesn’t lie.
@@sampaigemusic he doesn’t forget, he contradicts himself.
It doesn’t matter if there is foreign DNA, that doesn’t exclude John whose DNA was all over the body and crime scene.
What you are failing to understand is, he knows all too well whose DNA is also on her body and the powers to be will never test it. Even if they did, there is no DNA profile of anyone in that ring. There are people in high places who ensure this will never be solved.
"Also, DNA doesn’t lie."
You mean the DNA that was said to be freshly-deposited but, when it was tested, had fewer than the minimum of 10 markers required to place it into CODIS? That DNA?
@@79bewareofpuppies97 DNA is DNA. Not enough for Codis doesn’t make it not-DNA.
@@Aiffam1
Did I say it wasn't DNA, yes or no? If it had been freshly-deposited that night, then it would've had far more than the fewer than 10 markers.
My son was killed instantly in a freak accident.I can’t even tell you who was at his home going.I was like a zombie and felt like I was outside my body.Him saying he doesn’t remember I can relate to that.
Love this interview! Thanks for doing it❤❤
Ashley, This was a great interview even though it's very sad. Thank you for doing it.
My heart breaks for John and his family…. I hope they can find the actual killer. No one ever believed that the immediate family had anything to do with it. My prayers to the entire family❤️❤️❤️
Wow great interview this is the best John Ramsey interview I have ever seen . Such a nice guy I feel so bad for him . I really hope one day the world will know the truth . Hopefully while he is still with us .
I hope he makes a dead bed confession before he dies. He knows what happened.
@ and what is the evidence you that proves he did it ??? Or are you just talking about conspiracy theories ....
@@davidconlin7641 You are to believe that an intruder would take about 25 minutes to write a crazy 3 page ransom letter, with the Ramsey's own notepad/Sharpie, and then not kidnap her. He murders Jonbenet with stuff he just happens to find around the house. He was so nice to feed her some pineapple. 🙄 How did the intruder get in the house? Not through the basement window that had undisturbed spiderwebs.
@@Alex-Trejo I believe Lou smitt solved over 200 homicides and Steve Thomas solved 0. And the fact that John Ramsey DESPERATELY wants the fbi to test the dna. There is literally dna on her that doesn't match the family . DNA was under fingernails and on her underwear and it's the same dna .....that's obviously the killer . So no the evidence points towards intruder if u look at the evidence and not conspiracy theories .
@@Alex-TrejoAnd yet no prosecution in decades and decades.....in the words of the late, great Patsy Ramsey,"Go back to the damn drawing board"!!!!
It makes sense that if the killer hated John, the sexual abuse would torture John for the rest of his life. But also the killer was deranged with his sexual fantasies.
It is illogical that a stranger broke in, killed her, and then took time to write a long-winded note. The father or mother killed her accidentally and the rest was a massive cover-up aided by incompetent police.
Not if the killer broke in as soon as they left for the party. The killer was already in the house when they returned. The killer also expects you to think things were illogical.
Dumb
Not if you are a sadistic pdf file that enjoys hurting little children, is jealous of John's financial succes and is obsessed with movies about children being kidnapped. That fake ransom note might be part of the perps fantasy.
I thought that there were actually no real signs of a break in. The broken window had spider webs undistubed. But what I always think about is there is no way a stranger can walk all around a house at night up and down stairs, down hallways, into a bedroom, write a note and basically having the run of the house without being detected.
@@bogeysbabyWell, if you are trusting that this is a dna case, that means there were 6 intruders who magically went undetected and not one of them left a full dna profile behind. Talk about sheer luck 😆
So in depth. Love it. Also, Univ of Pennsylvania isn’t the same as Penn State so Stine wasn’t at the Sandusky era at Penn State. Kinda like IU vs ISU.
Geez John really screwed up in this interview.
Most people believe he is guilty (to what degree can be debated), but he's done himself no favours in this interview.
He was really caught off guard when being asked about Burke coming downstairs that night. He then said he didn't know Burke had done this. And then says when he found out after the Dr Phil show, he never spoke to Burke about this. LOL! LOL! LOL! This is hilarious. So Burke never mentioned this to his parents in 25 years. And then when John finds out he doesn't bring it up. Even though it would have been the time and "intruder" was hiding in the house hahaha.
And then John tried to change tactics and says it was fiction and Burke didn't understand the question. Ummm....the question was a very clear/simple one. Burke was a grown man and answered the question honestly.
John did not come off looking good from this interview. Anyone who watches this will only be more certain if his guilt.
Let's watch John try and have this video removed from RUclips now haha.
@@9_GOAT exactly! He added a few more NEVER heard details too....like his house keeper saw John Mark Karr standing in his garage of his Michigan home, AND someone had been staying in JB's bedroom. No big deal! House keeper just thought they allowed him to stay. No where EVER has this been told and also, Burke had a friend that flew w them hours after his sister was brutally murdered? Nonsense. He was trying to throw new details. He couldn't even answer that YES he arranged his private pilot Mr Archuletta to fly them out hours after the murder and John and Patsy refused to have formal police interviews. John was at the airport most of the day on Christmas day "packing the airplane ". He someone just got all jumbled about that.
And he also was jumbled with arms crossed when asked about Burke coming downstairs that night!! Burke was eating pineapple and playing w a Christmas toy. And then.......
We know the rest
"He was really caught off guard when being asked about Burke coming downstairs that night. He then said he didn't know Burke had done this. And then says when he found out after the Dr Phil show, he never spoke to Burke about this. LOL! LOL! LOL! This is hilarious. So Burke never mentioned this to his parents in 25 years. And then when John finds out he doesn't bring it up. Even though it would have been the time and "intruder" was hiding in the house hahaha."
It was Dr Phil who said to Burke that John told him [Dr Phil] that Burke snuck downstairs. Since John said it first, John knew.
New Zealand is going through a similar case … listen to the podcast The boy in the water . The entire town believes the mother knows and like Burke the town believes the older brother did it .
Watching this now. Love you girls
He finally admits they did the book bcuz they were broke! Payback is Hell
Excellent 👌 interview with hindsight is 20/20 viewpoint.
John gives credible and logical responses to my satisfaction.
It may be the amount of true crime flooding the web has made us all a bit jaded. I have been pulled backwards and forwards on the roles of the family, guilty or not-guilty.
In retrospect all the misinformation stirred in the same way as actual evidence created a fog.The obvious failures of law enforcement on scene in the initial response botched the investigation.
The tragedy of losing his daughter is on display for all to witness. 😢
I’m so happy you’re covering this case and bringing awareness to it. The DNA evidence part of this interview baffled me as to why the Boulder Colorado police department never had it tested when it’s in their possession. What also irked me is how little information they shared with the John and Patsy Ramsey except for the yearly visits. I could understand why at first because they were suspects but feel like they could have shared it later on once they were cleared. I just don’t understand why they don’t want to work with John Ramsey in helping this case be solved. It makes no sense unless they did lose the evidence or covering something up.
Exactly!!!! if this was a real kidnapping, they could’ve easily walked right out of the door front or back. Supposedly the back door was a jar. They knew the alarm would be off. They also knew they wouldn’t have to crawl out of a window with the child. This was a real kidnapping. They would’ve walked out of the house and that would’ve been it. That phone would’ve rang on top of that if these were kidnappers are a kidnapper that was also a pedo then he would take the child to his home or wherever and follow through with his sick desires, and the figuring out the ransom. You don’t have a ransom and a child kidnapped for ransom that’s laying in the basement of your house dead none of that makes any sense at all.!!! and that’s the crime. This murder will never be solved.
"Supposedly the back door was a jar."
John wrote on pg 366 of DoI that there was a police diagram that stated the butler kitchen door was found unlocked and open.
I forget the word now, but he used a fancy word at some point to describe something. I thought of the attachè or whatever word used in the ransom note. He disappeared to the basement for a while, then later found her when the detective told him to look around to see if things are missing.
This case is got me into true crime.. Great job Ashley ❤
I think there are people in Colorado that know what happened and they are in law enforcement.
did this woman really just say she has a “favourite character” in the murder of a child?
I feel sympathetic towards John. To lose two daughters is unfathomable.
Don't bother replying to me if you think they (or Burke) killed her. Parents do not garrote their babies. Move on.
When u have a narrative for 30 yrs; you don't need the questions ahead of time! Blaming the police again.... he's guilty as sin
This interview was the best thing I've seen to support his innocence. This poor man has been through so much. I hope the new police chief does the right thing for this case 🙏 Great job, Ashley! Can't wait for a follow-up video 🤞🤞
Thank you for doing this interview! My opinion is it wasn't the family, but still just a heartbreaking case. Hopefully they will eventually catch the real killer!
This case has been one I have avoided for a long time. It seemed mired in misinformation before the dreaded “alternative facts” became our unfortunate reality. Thankfully there are a few journalists I feel I can trust to really do the work to get the facts and convey them in a way that makes sense. Thank you crime junkie for taking on this juggernaut of a case.
I totally agree with John. The whole time I was thinking they’re protecting somebody.
Wonder who that could be
John is the one protecting someone.
😝 all of these comments say the same thing praising what a great interview he gives.... Give me a break!! it was jonbenet's brother !!!!!! And nobody wants to talk about that! Afraid they will be sued
I just don't believe that if someone was mad at John that they would sexually assault and murder his daughter. I just don't. If it was about money maybe they'd do a ransom but the MO just doesn't fit with a sexual predator. I'm not an expert by any means but I've watched 1,000s of crime interviews and read books about killers and followed many investigations. I think if he was about to get caught the would run not take more time to hurt her and sexually assault her.
Ah yes - The stun gun - classic child silencer.
He sure doesn’t remember a lot about the traumatic murder of his daughter… particularly his violent altercation with fleet white?? Who doesn’t remember something like that? I don’t like it. Ashley, I appreciate how hard you pushed him on certain things! You didn’t baby him in this interview. He knows way more than he is letting on.
He’s 80 years old trying to remember every detail from almost 30 years ago. Obviously he remembers most details but some things he isn’t going to remember as clearly that’s just what happens over time. Also the case is unsolved so I find it ridiculous that you say “he knows more than he’s letting on” as if it’s a fact. If it’s found that it was an intruder then everyone speculating owes that whole family an apology.
@@niamhsteeleeAn intruder that took about 25 minutes to write a 3 page crazy ransom letter, using the Ramsey's notepad/Sharpie and then he doesn't even kidnap her. The intruder also was nice enough to feed her some pineapple. There was no evidence an intruder entered the house. If you believe an intruder was the killer, then I have 3 bridges to sell you. 😂😂😂
@@Alex-Trejo The Ramsey's were gone for hours on Christmas day giving an intruder plenty of time to come in look around and write a ransom note. Of course he would use the Ramsey's own stationary, why would he want to risk getting caught carrying the ransom note into the house with one? Or perhaps saw the stationary sitting there and decided to write one. And as many experienced investigators and profilers have stated this was a kidnapping gone wrong so that would explain leaving her body there. Need I remind you of the suitcase with Jonbenets clothing fibres and a Dr Suess book inside. We also don't know at what point JonBenet ate the pineapple. Time cannot be attributed to fingerprints. Not a single piece of evidence to me says that a Ramsey commitedvthe crime.
The police/agency in charge would run every DNA test available now if they really still thought a family member did it. They apparently are not doing so.
I feel for their family I don’t believe they had anything to do with it. I hope JonBenet gets the justice she deserves soon!
Looking back at the note, the use of John’s name multiple times towards the end sticks out to me. Especially when you consider Patsys account of when Fleet barged in when they were with the priest and his repeated use of John’s name.
Great interview! FYI: FamilyTreeDNA allows law enforcement use of their database for genetic genealogy with user consent. I don't think law enforcement will ever lose the ability to use investigative genetic genealogy. It will most likely be litigated all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. I believe its use by law enforcement will be upheld.
Such a nice man, nice family. My heart hurts for all they went through. 💔
The person who did it was in the house when she was found! Period!! Give us a damn break Jon. YOU know wtf happened to her!!
Were you there?
Good interview Just Subscribed!
Brilliant interview btw.
John has put a lot of money into controlling the narrative and he is getting old and wasn’t expecting to meet his match.
When he would say his usual things like ‘what would you do if it was your daughter’, he wanted you to say you would have done the same as he did.. you didn’t and he squirmed and filled in his own answer.
You trapped him on so much of his bs, it was beautiful.
The only thing I wish you would have confronted him with is ‘so tell me about pr*ject m*narch & why when they found a video called ‘how to create a mind c*ntrolled sl*ve’ it was hidden under the interest of national security.
Meet his match? Nah. She seemed a bit intimidated. Like she bit more than she could chew.
@ I disagree. She made him realise his story made no sense on numerous occasions without being accusatory. It was very smart interviewing.
It seemed like Ashley knew more about the crime than her own father! 😮
John's memory is shakey when it serves him.
45:38 Fleet didn't see JonBenet when he opened the wine cellar door that morning because he couldn't find the light switch and didn't step inside of the room. JonBenet was to the left in the bottom of the room.
Wow! I wish I had a CJ to watch this with. I picked it to pieces, minute by minute! Reading the body language, and responding in way that she knows makes him feel that he can be more open, because he thinks she's believing him. Unless I read that all wrong. The person responsible will be "identified" when they're (he's) dead. Ijs
Ask the questions Ashley!!!!!
I like John!
Was Fleet tested against the dna? Not sure I heard that anywhere yet?
The dad was sleep and the mom was up all night … He already said she never came to bed that night. So he doesn’t know what happened. I believe that but the mom knew something
Why does the interviewer have to keep interrupting? And giggling. It’s so distracting.
Am I the only one who didn't know John Ramsey had already looked in the basement before finding Jonbenet? I thought the first time he went in the basement is when he found Jonbenet. I've watched so much on this case, this is the first time he mentions this but I may be wrong?
He looked in the basement earlier yes, with Fleet who was the one who supposedly looked in that small room at that time, not John. John looked in that room off the main basement room on the second search.
there’s a channel called hell is empty, and they have a fantastic video on this case. it’s one of the best i’ve ever seen. they mention this and the rest of the events of that morning in great detail.
Wow and look at what a freak his son turned out to be
I believe, John and Patsy. I don't think Burke did it either. Rest in peace, JonBenet and Patsy. 🙏🙏
IMHO, Burke struck JonBenet in the head with the flashlight after she put her hand in his bowl of pineapple to get her some. Don’t believe he intentionally killed her though, but don’t believe he really cared that she did die. He wasn’t getting any attention from his father, who was always gone, and his mother, who was always giving most of her attention to JonBenet. I believe JonBenet lived for a little while after being struck, and the parents didn’t realize how severely she had been hurt. Once she died, the coverup began to not only protect Burke, but to also protect their precious image and the person who had been violating JonBenet in her private area. Everything just kept snowballing, because the intruder story and the ridiculous ransom letter was off the chain, as well as, all their lies and odd behavior. 😢 Just my opinion.
Patsy (anger/jealous rage/provocation) whacked JonBenet across the upper right side of her head with the barrel of the flashlight. John, who had been caught committing incest, was present.
No way on God's green earth does a parent " just wanna go home to Atlanta " after there child was found like this!!! No way, no how!!! He is part of the cover up & he keeps telling on himself.
It's so obvious he knows something. Even after all those years he's so full of B.S
Yeah obviously everything he said was misinterpreted, ofc he forgot crucial details, ofc he doesn't remember what was said to him or what happened... he's so guilty !! Not for the death but I wouldn't be suprised if he S. Trafficked her to his friends. He's disgusting
This is so much.
