A new book delves into the JonBenét Ramsey murder case, proposing a controversial theory that one of her parents accidentally killed her during a sex game. The book, “Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?”, co-authored by renowned forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, suggests the child’s death was unintentional, followed by a staged cover-up involving a blow to the head and a fabricated ransom note.
Wecht, a former president of the American Academy of Forensic Science, shared his theory in an interview with the Daily Camera. He posits that either John or Patsy Ramsey accidentally suffocated JonBenét with a cord during a sexual game. The head injury, Wecht argues, was inflicted post-mortem to create a misleading crime scene consistent with the ransom note. This theory stems from reports of a cord found around JonBenét’s neck and arms, coupled with Wecht’s extensive experience with forensic pathology and knowledge of sexual perversions. He emphasizes that binding is a common practice in various forms of sexual deviancy.
The book, “Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?”, promises to dissect the intricacies of the case, examining the political climate of Boulder and drawing upon existing reports from various media outlets, including the Daily Camera, the Denver Post, and the Rocky Mountain News. It features photographs, reproductions of the ransom note, and the complete autopsy report.
While the Ramsey family has not yet commented on the book’s allegations, Boulder Police Cmdr. Mark Beckner, the lead detective on the case, acknowledges Wecht’s theory as one among hundreds. He has not yet read the book. JonBenét was found murdered in the basement of her family’s home on December 26, 1996. The case remains unsolved and continues to captivate the nation. The Boulder police are expected to present their findings to the District Attorney in June, potentially leading to a grand jury review.
Wecht maintains that his analysis, drawing from over 13,000 autopsies and years of forensic experience, offers a unique perspective on the existing evidence. He aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the information and apply his expertise to shed light on the tragic death of JonBenét Ramsey. The book is slated for release in late May.
The JonBenét Ramsey case remains a perplexing mystery, with the new book adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation. The theory presented by Wecht raises disturbing questions and could potentially reignite the debate surrounding the circumstances of JonBenét’s death.
