Once good friends of the Ramseys â and still considered key witnesses in the murder investigation â Boulder oilman Fleet White and his wife, Priscilla, turned against the district attorney about a year after JonBenĂ©t's slaying.
It took 12 years after the death of JonBenét and two years after Patsy's passing for the Boulder District Attorney to clear John Ramsey and his late wife of any wrongdoing in their daughter's death. On July 9, 2008, the decision was announced based on new DNA evidence collected from JonBenét's clothing.
She grew up with her sisters, Pamela and Paulette. At Parkersburg High School, Patsy won âthree banquet tables fullâ awards and was âjust a joy to have in classâ. Andre Brown, her social studies teacher, told People, âShe always seemed to know where she was going in life.â.
At 23, Patricia tied the knot with businessman John Ramsey on November 5, 1980. This was his second marriage after the first one with Lucinda Pasch (from 1966 to 1978) ended in divorce. He had three children â Elizabeth, Melinda and John Andrew â from his previous marriage.
Modern Touch DNA suggests that a male of Hispanic origin was involved. The traces were found on her undergarment panties and leggings.

While Alex Borstein played her in MADtv Episodes 417 and 502, Marg Helgenberger essayed the character in the 2000 miniseries 'Perfect Murder, Perfect Town' and Judi Evans played her in the 2000 TV movie 'Getting Away with Murder: The JonBenét Ramsey Mystery'.
In a preview of an ABC 20/20 special, handwriting expert Cina Wong said it was âhighly probableâ that Patsy had written the ransom note after examining and comparing it to 100 examples of her handwriting. In her explanation, the letter âAâ written in four different variations was exactly how Patsy wrote them.
The Ramseys were busy in March 2000, releasing their book âThe Death of Innocence,â filing multimillion-dollar lawsuits against media organizations who they say libeled their son (who was 9 at the time of JonBenetâs death) and settling a lawsuit with a tabloid newspaper.
Days after burying the girl in suburban Atlanta, where they had previously lived, the Ramseys appeared on CNN. âThereâs a killer on the loose,â Patsy Ramsey said January 1, 1997, in an interview that brought an intense national spotlight on the case. âI donât know who it is.
The district attorneyâs office, then led by Lacy, took over the case from Boulder police in 2002. Four years later, there was an apparent breakthrough with the arrest of 41-year-old teacher John Mark Karr in Bangkok, Thailand.

Wood called Alex Hunter a âhero.â. âJon and Patsy Ramsey had been told back in â99 by their attorneys they should expect to be indicted,â he said. âYou have to go back 15, 16 years to remember there was a media frenzy of false accusations against this family.
Itâs a decision that Bill Wise, a former prosecutor who wasnât directly involved in the grand jury proceedings, confirmed to the paper and said makes sense. âThe state of the evidence in that case was simply inadequate to file a charge, in my opinion, and that obviously was Hunterâs opinion, too,â Wise said.
On Monday, CNN talked with one juror and anotherâs spouse, both of whom indicated that â at the behest of the district attorneyâs office â they would not discuss the case. Messages left by CNN with several other jurors were not immediately answered.
Patsy Ramsey was born Patricia Ann Paugh, on December 29, 1956, in Gilbert, West Virginia, U.S., into the middle-class family of Donald Ray Paugh and Nedra Ellen Ann. Her father worked as an engineer and a manager at âUnion Carbide.â Her mother was a homemaker. She grew up with two sisters, Paulette and Pamela. Pamela, too, was a beauty-pageant winner.
The post-mortem report said that her death had been caused by asphyxia due to strangulation and that she had been sexually abused before her death. The news spread in the locality, and Patsy Ramsey and her husband, John, emerged as the two prime suspects.
In 2000, the miniseries titled âPerfect Murder, Perfect Townâ was released. This was followed by a âSouth Parkâ episode titled âButters â Very Own Episode,â in which the creator satirically showed that Patsy and John had murdered their daughter. However, the creators apologized later.
Pamela, too, was a beauty-pageant winner. Patsy attended the âParkersburg High Schoolâ and was an above-average student there. She graduated high school in 1975. Following this, she joined the âUniversity of West Virginia.â. In college. she belonged to the âAlpha Xi Deltaâ sorority.
Patsy had been suffering from ovarian cancer since 1993, and it was successfully treated, too. She was in remission for the next few years, until she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer again in 2002. Back then, the case was still being investigated. Meanwhile, she took medical help for her condition. She passed away on June 24, 2006, at her fatherâs house, with her husband by her side.
For instance, the ransom note was written on a paper that was found around their house. Additionally, their stories were inconsistent when they were questioned separately. They made several appearances in the media, trying to prove their innocence. However, public opinion held the parents as perpetrators.
On the morning of December 26, 1996 , John and Patsy found out that their daughter was missing. A ransom note was found by Patsy, and the police were informed. Within a few hours, the police found JonBenĂ©tâs dead body in the basement of their house. She had been strangulated and hit on the head with a heavy item.
Afterward, Hoffmann-Pugh walked outside the federal courthouse in Denver and said she told the grand jury investigating the murder that she believes the beauty queen was killed by her mother, Patsy Ramsey.
Hoffmann-Pugh challenged the state's rules, which forbid witnesses from repeating what they've told grand jurors unless an indictment or report is issued, in order to write a book about her experiences with the Ramsey family. She said the grand jury focused almost exclusively on Patsy Ramsey.
There was still a Barbie Doll nightgown clinging to the blanket, so it had to have come out of the dryer recently, she said. Only Patsy would have known it was in the dryer, she said. * An intruder never would have found the door to the basement room where JonBenet's body was discovered.

It's the testimony that can't be talked about publicly," he said. "The knowledge that was brought in to the grand-jury room can be spoken publicly. "What can't be discussed is any information obtained as a result of testifying before the grand jury, any information obtained inside the jury room," he said.
The grand jury, and then-District Attorney Alex Hunter, never issued a report about its investigation. Hoffmann-Pugh, whose efforts to change grand-jury rules were supported by the Ramseys, on Thursday handed out a packet of what she said were six handwriting experts' analyses of Patsy Ramsey's handwriting samples.
Lately it has been my intention to approach the case within the context of the time and place it occurred, so I have been taking a deep dive into the media of the day. (Newspapers, magazines, TV, etc.)
Because we are getting so close to the 25th Anniversary of JonBenetâs murder, does anyone know of any new mainstream media documentaries in the works?
