After 10 long years of heartache, mystery and suspicion, the killer of Jon Benet Ramsey has finally been found. Little Jon Benet was found dead in the basement of her home with evidence of being beaten and strangled. No one was ever convicted for the crime. Her parents and older brother were held suspect for years. Her mother, Patsy was especially scrutinized as she was a former beauty pageant winner who enjoyed entering Jon Benet in Beautiful Baby and various adolescent pageants. People thought she was jealous or obsessive and killed her daughter in a rage.
I have followed this case over the years, praying that somehow there would be justice for the beautiful little blonde whose life ended far too soon. I felt sorry for the parents who had to try and move on raising their son under an 'Umbrella of Suspicion'. The sorrow of losing a child and the stress of being a suspect must have been overwhelming. Ironically, Patsy Ramsey died of Ovarian Cancer on my birthday this year, June 24. Although she knew a serious suspect had been identified, she did not live to see her family vindicated. It turns out the man who killed Jon Benet was a male school teacher who had been involved in child pornography. grrrrrrr He was arrested in Thailand.
The Jon Benet case really turned me against the tabloid papers who have used this story to sell their magazine for a decade and often pointed a finger at the family- despite a lack of solid evidence. Shame on them! We'll see if they even mention this new development. I certainly didn't see them do any write-up about Patsy's untimely death.
Justice has finally come. Rest in peace, Beloved...

never knew about this case
Yeah, dude got arrested in thailand for sex crimes, that is a very hard thing to do. 8 and 9 year old girls are routinely sold into prostitution by by their own families there. Thailand is internationally known as a place for the sex trade. Wich is probably the reason he was there.
Makes me sick, he has three children and an ex-wife ( gee wonder why it she is his ex???).
Listened to a special CNN report last night this case and it is FAR from an open and shut case that this guy did it. They still haven't tested his DNA against that found under JBR's fingernails - etc. I hope they caught the murder - however we might want to keep the word 'alleged' in there. We all know that in our country it is "Innocent until, proven Guilty." No matter what the media implies! :)
Hi Brian, Yes a very sad story. Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to check out the blog. :o)
Known Stranger, That's okay, we can still be friends. LOL :o)
Royce, yep pretty obvious.
Steve, "Innocent until proven guilty"- very true. If he was denying involvement, I would certainly say "Alleged", but he has stated to police and to the media that he molested the child, then killed her by accident. He fled the country, but wrote e-mails to the family for several years trying to confess. It's pretty obvious he's guilty...
