Natalee Holloway: A Case That Captivated The Nation

What Really Happened?

Many people became suspects in the case, although the real murderer was never actually found. Many people believed that either JonBenét’s parents or her nine year old brother, Burke, were responsible for the young girl’s death. It was alleged that the ransom note found inside the house was simply a decoy to deflect suspicion from the family.

Other people believed that JonBenét’s popularity as a beauty queen had attracted attention from someone who had broken into the Ramsey home and murdered the little girl. Other suspects included neighbors and other family members, with authorities saying that a family member was most likely to have been the one who murdered young JonBenét.
