Around 6 AM on December 26, 1996, Patsy Ramsey called 911 after finding a ransom note on the stairs. The long handwritten note stated that the intruder(s) had taken the Ramsey's daughter, 6 year old JonBenét, and requested $118,000 for her return. During the early hours of the investigation, the Ramsey family invited over family members and friends and much of the crime scene had been disturbed. The lead investigator instructed John Ramsey to search the house for anything. At 1 pm, John found JonBenét's body in a locked basement room. She had been hit over the head and strangled. John removed his daughter's body, disturbing the crime scene even more. JonBenét Ramsey was a child beauty queen. Her murder gained nationwide interest because of this. Over the years, there has been two theories; the Ramsey Family theory and the Intruder theory. DNA has been inconsistent, although the Ramsey Family was officially ruled out in 2008, there is still speculation that either Patsy or her son, Burke, had murdered JonBenét and the note was a cover up. There is evidence to follow both theories. To this day, the case remains open and unsolved.
