JonBenet’s mother reported her missing on the morning of Dec. 26, 1996, after finding a lengthy ransom note demanding $118,000. John Ramsey found her body later that same day in the basement of their home in Boulder.

An autopsy revealed that JonBenet died of strangulation and a blow to the head. The Boulder City Medical Examiner reported an 8 1/2-inch fracture in her skull.

Ramsey has long criticized the department for its “arrogance,” “pride,” “ego” and inexperience at the time his daughter was killed. More recently, he told Fox News Digital he has renewed “hope” after meeting with the department’s new leadership.

An American primary school teacher was arrested in Thailand on Wednesday in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey, 10 years after the child beauty queen's grisly death triggered a media frenzy that transfixed much of America.

“I’ve been extremely critical of Boulder police,” he told Fox News Digital in October 2023, adding that his criticism is “unfair” to new brass who “inherited this mess” over the years.

“Until I’m proven wrong, I have hope that the new leadership within the police department, who I was impressed with, will make good on their promise to use outside help to solve this case,” he said.

Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the JonBenet investigation to contact 303-441-1974, BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
