JonBenet Ramsey’s father speaks out after receiving a terrifying letter and names his daughter’s killer

The JonBenét Ramsey case has taken another wild turn after Netflix Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey documentary.

Speaking to Daily MailJonBenet’s father, John Ramsey, said he received a letter from a woman who claimed her ex-husband killed his daughter. The letter came in the wake of the Netflix documentary that premiered on Monday, November 25.

“Based on all this publicity, I recently got a letter from a lady saying, ‘My ex-husband is the killer and I’ve been holding this in as long as I can – please call me,'” John shared . electrical outlet.

He said he immediately followed up on the tip, but has yet to hear back from the mystery sender. “We reached out to her but she didn’t pick up the phone so I don’t know,” John added. “We have shared, at this point, with a private investigator.”

It is unclear whether the letter contained the accused ex-husband’s name or whereabouts.

Netflix’s three-part documentary series tells the story of JonBenét, who was brutally murdered in the Ramsey family home in December 1996. She was found in the basement with a fractured skull and signs of strangulation. She also showed signs of being sexually assaulted.

At the time, John and his wife Patsy Ramsey came under suspicion, although neither was ever charged. In 2008, then-Attorney General Mary Lacy publicly apologized to the family, noting that evidence had cleared John and Patsy and JonBenét’s brother Burke (who was 9 at the time of the murder). Patsy died in 2006 of ovarian cancer.

John is featured in the documentaries, where he talks about the day he discovered his murdered daughter. He also talks about what he believes were mistakes made by Boulder, Colorado, police. John is urging police to give the go-ahead for new DNA testing, which he believes could tie him to an intruder who allegedly broke into a house just two miles from the Ramseys and sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl.

“To me, it could easily have been the same person,” John shared People last month. “I think the method of operation was exactly the same.”

John told the Daily Mail that he remains skeptical of the new information after previously having his hopes dashed. He also said that the resolution of the case “is not going to change my life at this point — I just turned 81 — but it will change my children’s lives, my grandchildren’s lives.”

“They need this cloud cleared, clarified and an answer. That’s why we’re pushing so hard for an answer,” he added.
