Imagine having a perfect six year old daughter that participated in many beauty pageants and loved watching Shirley Temple movies. Then suddenly one night, you find a note and run up to her room to discover she is gone (Schiller 8). That is what happened to the mother of Jonbenet Ramsey when she found out that her daughter was missing. Everything was fine the night before, but when her family woke up, they had no idea their life would be changed forever. They didn’t know what happened, but they wanted to find out. The longer the investigation went on, the more suspicious it got. The death of Jonbenet Ramsey was a devastating tragedy.

Jonbenet’s dad later found her in that same room (Schiller 2). One of the family’s friends said that they had looked in the room before, but they had not seen the body (Keene-Osborne, Glick, and Murr 2). When Jonbenet’s dad found her, he carried her body upstairs, which contaminated the crime scene (Keene-Osborne, Glick, and Murr 1).

There were also some very mysterious things about the crime. The police suspected that a black flashlight hit Jonbenet in the head. A flashlight was seen on the kitchen counter at their home on the morning that Jonbenet was found, but then it went missing (Howard 1). There was also a mysterious bear shown in some of the pictures of Jonbenet’s room. The bear was shown near other stuffed animals, but the Ramseys said that they had never seen this bear before.
