Ramsey, JonBenet: (August 6, 1990 - December 25, 1996) JonBenét was an outstanding young beauty pageant star who was found murdered in the basement of her family's home on December 26, 1996. Her mother, Patricia Ramsey, noticed that JonBenét was missing and later found a ransom note demanding that a large sum of money be delivered in return for her daughter. After a extensive search, the Boulder, Colorado Police Department suggested that JonBenét 's father and family friends return to the house to look for anything unusual that may lead to his daughter's whereabouts. JonBenét's body was discovered covered in a blanket in the family's home. According to the autopsy, JonBenét was strangulated and suffered severe cranial trauma. The official cause of her death was asphyxiation due to strangulation associated with cranio-cerebral trauma. There was no evidence of break-in or forced entry into the family's household and there continues to be questions surrounding JonBenét's mysterious death. There have been several hypotheses regarding what happened in the Ramsey household that evening including accusations that Patricia Ramsey killed JonBenét in a fit of rage because her daughter wet her bed; and the possibility that her father, John Ramsey, was sexually abusing his daughter. Thus far, these speculations and accusations are unfounded as the case is still unsolved. In December 2003, forensic investigators extracted enough DNA from a blood sample obtained from JonBenét's underwear to establish a DNA profile that narrowed the search to that of a unknown male. JonBenét is buried in Saint James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, Georgia.
