"When the Ramsey story happened, he was hurt very badly, and that's why they had to leave Colorado," he said. But the most hard-hitting theory to emerge happened days ago whenThe Case of: JonBenet Ramseyaired in the US and Australia this week. The world has heard so many false rumours. A couple of years later the Ramseys cancelled the Reward for catching JonBenet's killer! The Ramseys, however, called McReynolds a suspect in their book "Death of Innocence: The Untold Story of JonBenet's Murder and How its Exploitation Compromised the Pursuit of Truth. ._3bX7W3J0lU78fp7cayvNxx{max-width:208px;text-align:center} Because they were bombarded by a RDI media circus and it made them biased against the parents innocence before they even knew the basic facts of the case.

His ashes will be scattered at one of McReynolds' favorite Colorado hiking trails. The Christmas note which investigators found in the bin of the family's Boulder, Colorado home is alleged to have been penned by McReynolds. He was elderly and was far away from Bolder that day. In his book Presumed Guilty: An Investigation Into the JonBent Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of Pornography, journalist Stephen Singular argues that the police were so focused on pinning the murder to the Ramseysthat they neglected to consider the possibility that JonBent was abducted for child pornography. Supporters of this theory pointed out that Burke, then 9, was the only person other than his parents in the home the night his sister was killed, and his prized Swiss Army knife was found in the basement. However, police later concluded that there was "simply no evidence" to support her claims. He was born in Donna, Texas, in 1930, and received his degree in journalism from the University of Texas.

Each morning Bill McReynolds awoke at 4 a.m. to make it to the radio station in time to start his show at 5 a.m. . Police initially investigated the case as a kidnapping, after pageant mum Patsy called 911 on Boxing Day morning 1996 to say she had found a ransom note demanding $157,000 and that her daughter was missing from their home in Boulder, Colorado. The ransom note is made up primarily of movie quotes. Former Kidnapping charge was a botched $113 gas station robbery in Arizona, where he forced clerk to move from Point A to Point B, thus the kidnapping charge (ST Pg 114, DOI pg167), He had come home from the Christmas party at his parents home, had a drink of scotch, swallowed some powerful prescription drugs he took for depression, and gone to bed alone, not awakening until late the next morning. acting incredibly suspiciously around the time of the murder, I wonder what it would be like to crack a human skull, You will receive a special gift after Christmas, a fictionalized account of the 1965 torture and murder of Sylvia Likens in Indiana, it's also not the first time that a murder has been blamed on an owl, Your Privacy Choices: Opt Out of Sale/Targeted Ads.
