number 7

The Ramsey family can never, ever, regain all that has been lost since that day in 1996 when their daughter was taken from them. With the new year around the corner begins a change of focus on finding JonBenet's killer (s); a new DA in Boulder; new eyes on leads and evidence.

In January 1997 law enforcement knew that there was foreign male DNA found at the crime scene of JonBenet's Christmastime 1996 murder. The breaking story this year when her parents were finally cleared of any suspicion in the crime through the use of cutting edge DNA technology is ranked in the top 10 news features right along with the Democratic National Convention--

More than the DC happened in '08

"What an incredible year for news in our fair Mile High City and throughout the Centennial State. From historic political conventions to violent lawmakers, the Denver Daily News in 2008 brought its readers some seriously eye-popping headlines. Here’s our Top 10 list:
...
No. 7 (Ramsey’s Cleared): Prosecutors cleared JonBenet Ramsey’s parents and brother in July in the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old beauty queen, saying they were “deeply sorry” for putting the family under a cloud of suspicion that hung heavy for more than a decade. New DNA tests came too late to clear the name of JonBenet’s mother, Patsy, who died of cancer in 2006, but cleared the name of father John Ramsey.
...
No. 1 (History Is Made): Denver hosts its first Democratic National Convention in 100 years, an event that draws thousands to Colorado in August and is climaxed by Obama’s historic nomination acceptance speech before 80,000 people at Invesco Field at Mile High."

Christmas gifts that keep on giving

For his supporters and select individuals devoted to finding JonBenet's killer he sure spiced it up this year with his intent to kill more children. Aside from that Karr forces his perverted manifestations onto just about anyone he comes into contact with and has for a long, long time now--

Who Is John Mark Karr?

"Wendy says that John Mark Karr was helping her and her children pull up a Web site at her computer at her home in 1997. He was calm and engaged in casual conversation until a story about the child beauty queen came on the news. Nichols says that John Mark Karr “turned around and he looked at the television and started arguing with the television.” She says he told her that “he felt that the investigators were incompetent and that he knew what went on” and that he could tell her why there were no footprints in the snow outside the Ramsey’s house, and how the intruder broke in. According to Nichols, Karr told her “that he could tell me because he was there and he did it.” He also mentioned in the conversation that he loved JonBenet. "
