How was JonBenét Ramsey when she was killed?

JonBenét Ramsey was six years old when she was tragically killed. She was found dead in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado, on December 26, 1996.

Her mother Patsy told investigators on December 26, 1996, that she realised her daughter was missing after discovering a two-and-a-half-page handwritten ransom note on the kitchen stairway at the Ramsey family’s Boulder home.

JonBenét Ramsey’s father, John, discovered her dead body in their basement around seven hours after she was reported missing. She had been strangled and had a shattered skull from a hit to the head; a garrote was discovered knotted around her neck.

According to the autopsy report, JonBenét died from “asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma.” Her death was determined to be a homicide.

The case sparked widespread public and media interest around the world. The crime is still classified as a cold case and is being investigation by the Boulder Police Department. The exact circumstances and events leading up to her death have remained a subject of ongoing investigation and speculation.
