John Ramsey, father of six-year-old beauty queen JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey, is renewing calls for authorities to reexamine his daughter\u2019s 1996 murder\u2014and a strikingly similar assault on a 12-year-old neighbor just nine months later. In a new People magazine interview, Ramsey proposes that a masked intruder, possibly a serial predator, targeted both girls\u2014an angle he says was dismissed at the time despite terrifying parallels in method and proximity.<\/p>\n

JonBen\u00e9t was found beaten, strangled, and possibly sexually assaulted in her family\u2019s Boulder basement the day after Christmas 1996, her high-profile pageant career and a bizarre ransom note fueling suspicion that tragically focused on her own family. No one was ever charged, and Ramsay\u2019s late wife Patsy maintained their innocence until her death in 2006.<\/p>\n

Now, Ramsey highlights that both victims lived near each other, attended the same dance studio, and suffered eerily similar night-time home invasions. He argues that investigators \u201cblew off\u201d the connection, missing what could have been a breakthrough link to an outside culprit. He urges Boulder police to reopen both cases using today\u2019s far more sensitive DNA and forensic technologies.<\/p>\n

After nearly 30 years of unanswered questions and relentless media scrutiny, Ramsey\u2019s plea is simple: let science\u2014and not speculation\u2014lead the way to justice. With preserved evidence and modern methods, he believes there\u2019s still hope to identify JonBen\u00e9t\u2019s killer and bring real closure to all affected families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
