Why do people think that JonBenet Ramsey was murdered because she was in pageants?
Im a pageant mother, and I often get, "How could you put your child in those things? After what happened to JonBenet Ramsey?" When, as far as I know, her being in beauty pageants had NOTHING to do with the fact that she was murdered. Any thoughts?
Answer: Because it puts the child out there. You're right, it's a myth that paedophiles go for the pretty kids who are trying to look older than they are.....paedophilia is a crime of opportunity. There have been beauty queens who, like strippers (and I mean nothing with the comparison other than that they perform on stage), develop a following that can be construed as less than healthy. I don't know what sort of pageants your daughter is in but if you do the National events you'll see people there without kids and, yeah, some of them are maybe a little unbalanced but that can happen anywhere in life.

i was watching the news and they showed a map of countries that are on alert for Joran VanDerSloot. and Tailand is one of them. i understand that he might cross the border into chile, argintina or colombia. and i think there was a guy who was a suspect in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey. he went to live in tailand soon after. what is it about Tailand.
Answer: Joran Van Der Sloot has traveled to Thailand before.He was caught on film there last year trying to sell prostitutes in Thailand to go the Netherlands.He never got charged in that case either.If he got out of Peru,he might have tried to escape to Thailand,that is why they put up the alert for that country too.

Who is Benet Ramsey mentioned in Lady Gagas Dance in the Dark?
Is it JonBenet Ramsey, the little girl who was murdered years ago?
Answer: I had the same question. It refers to JonBenét Ramsey. GaGa also refers to Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Sylvia Plath and Princess Diana in that song. All 5 girls were famous and fell to tragedy. They also had intense media coverage following their deaths. The song is great. Her new album is amazing!

What is the story behind the JonBenet Ramsey murder case?
I am doing a speech for class about children beauty pagents and I am opposed to it. Im researching information and I come across the name and story of JonBenet Ramsey. I cried while reading it and I was wondering if it was ever discovered who was her real murder.
Answer: This case was all over the cable news stations for a very long time.
Most authorities who have looked at the case independent of the Boulder PD, long ago concluded that the case was bungled from the very start, compromising the crime scene, failing to secure evidence, waiting too long to interview neighborhood witnesses, and most of all, inappropriately confining their investigation to family members rather than looking at other possiblities.
Many renowned criminal investigators who have looked at this case suggest there is strong evidence that the crime was committed by a stranger, perhaps one of any number of known predators living in or around the Boulder area at the time.
There were rumors some time ago that the new D.A. was rekindling the investigation with a wider net, but that cooperation within the Boulder PD was less than forthcoming. Not sure if that is true and there has not been much published since. Maybe that's a good thing, though, in that whatever direction they are heading, they are keeping their cards close to the vest until they have their man.

Who killed Jonbenet Ramsey and do you think the case will ever be solved?
I realized that a few days ago, that it was Jonbenet Ramseys 20th birthday. For some reason I began to cry. Who do you think killed her? I dont think it was the Ramseys. Do you think her case will ever be solved? I dont but I like to think that one day the little beauty will have justice. What do you all think?
Answer: Wow..I can't believe how many years have past..and still Jonbenet's murder is still unsolved. I disapprove of speculation, and I don't feel it's our place to accuse anyone. Best to leave it in God's hands. All we can really do is trust the (latest) facts as they still stand today, and pray for closure. Facts..as followed:
In December 2003, forensic investigators extracted enough material from a mixed blood sample found on JonBenét's underwear to establish a DNA profile. The DNA belongs to an unknown male. The DNA was submitted to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a database containing more than 1.6 million DNA profiles, mainly from convicted felons. The sample has yet to find a match in the database, although it continues to be checked for partial matches on a weekly basis, as are all unmatched samples. Later investigations also discovered that there were more than 100 burglaries in the Ramseys' neighborhood in the months before JonBenét's murder, and that 38 registered sex offenders were living within a two-mile (3 km) radius of the Ramseys' home—an area that encompasses half the population of the city of Boulder—but that none of the sex offenders had any involvement in the murder.
On August 16, 2006, 41-year-old John Mark Karr, a former schoolteacher, confessed to the murder while being held on child pornography charges from Sonoma County, California. Authorities reportedly tracked him down using the Internet after he sent e-mails regarding the Ramsey case to Michael Tracey, a journalism professor at the University of Colorado. Once apprehended, he confessed to being with JonBenét when she died, stating that her death was an accident. When asked if he was innocent, he responded, "No." However, Karr's DNA did not match that found on JonBenét Ramsey's body. On August 28, 2006, prosecutors announced that no charges would be filed against him for the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. In early December 2006, Department of Homeland Security officials reported that federal investigators were continuing to explore whether Karr had been a possible accomplice in the killing.
No evidence has ever come to light that placed the then-married Alabama resident Karr near Boulder during the Christmas 1996 crime. Evidence linking Karr to the killing is highly circumstantial in nature. For instance, handwriting samples taken from Karr were said to match the ransom note. In particular, his technique for writing the letters E, T and M were described by the media as being very rare.
Hopefully someday justice will come to light to this very strange unsolved case....May Jonbenet Ramsey RIP.

Compassion Fatigue on Darfur?
To the Editor: Re Save the Darfur Puppy (column, May 10): Nicholas D. Kristof says the reason people will try to help a single person (or animal) rather than an entire population is that we lack a troubled conscience. I disagree. People are more willing to help an individual person (or animal) because theyll be able to see the outcome. - Five letters comment on Nicholas D Kristofs May 6 column about lack of public outcry over genocide in Darfur region of Sudan; Michelle OHagan says Americans might be more willing to help people around world if media would help show what is really going on; Beth Bistrow says Pres Bush and members of UN, not individuals, have power to influence global events; John Washburn says International Criminal Court has been effective in Sudan in part from public pressure; Rafael Medoff agrees that public would be more responsive to suffering puppy than to genocide in Sudan; Yvette Perry says there are small-scale, personal ways Americans can help; drawing
Am I the only one here who is sick of hearing about JonBenet Ramsey?
Dont get me wrong. I think that her death is tragic and Im glad that the murderer may have finally been caught. However, thousands of children are murdered or go missing every year, but their cases arent well-publicized. Whats so special about JonBenet Ramsey (or Natalie Holloway, for that matter)? Are murders and disappearances important only if the victims are rich, white, blonde girls?
I have plenty of compassion for people who have lost their children, but I wouldnt be asking this question if the murders and disappearances of poor and/or minority children were more publicized. Also, I agree that the press owes the Ramsey family a huge apology. Not only did they have to deal with the pain of losing their child, but they were accused of murdering her, which is the worst thing that a person could ever be accused of. I also think its a pity that JonBenets mother isnt alive to see whats going on.
Answer: I agree with you - rich, white blonde girls who go missing or end up murdered are usually highly publicized - the families can afford to make it so - and it is so sad because those families whose children were murdered and were poor are simply put on the back burner. Yes, this is definitely tragic and a very good question! You make an excellent point.

R.I.P JonBenet :(
Answer: I'm surprised some evidence or new lead hasn't leaked out over all the years.
Sadly, this would have been a great story for all the conspiracy theory people. Could it have been the mother? i think the house was too intricate for a stranger to sneak in and do it. Was it a past family friend?
This weirdo that claimed to have done it is now on yahoo's page for trying to start a new cult. Just an attention-wanting idiot.
The media was too stupid to put him on tv before, they could have researched him and found out he wasn't in the vacinity during the time.
