1996 is the case of six-year-old beauty queen Joan Benet Ramsey closed? !

Jon Beni, lively and lovely, can sing and dance. In the beauty contest of 1995, she won the title of "Little Queen of Colorado". 1996, Jon Beni was elected "Little Queen of America" in another beauty contest and became a famous figure in China. Vanity Fair and Talent magazines in the United States are also going to publish photos of her participating in the beauty contest. Who would do anything to such a lovely little star? The murder shocked Jon Beni's hometown-Boulder, a small town that has always been calm and peaceful. At the same time, the case of "Little American Queen" being ripped off has also become the focus of American public opinion. Jon Beni's cute appearance in the beauty contest frequently appeared in the headlines of major newspapers. TV talk shows hire experts to analyze the motives of murderers, and all kinds of rumors about "who is the murderer" are flying all over the sky.

After screening, the police concentrated the suspects on seven people, of which the most suspect was Jon Beni's family: the Ramsey couple and their eldest son, Jon Beni's 9-year-old brother Burke. Some media have speculated that behind Jon Beni's glamorous child star aura is the excessive pressure of parents eager to make their daughter succeed. Patricia Ramsey, a mother who asked too much of Jon Beni, brutally killed her daughter because of trivial matters. There are even rumors that the 9-year-old brother Burke killed his sister because he was jealous of her success.

Three years of investigation ended in nothing.

After becoming a suspect, her mother Patricia Ramsey also appeared in the media many times to defend herself and her husband.

The Ramses also hired eight criminal defense lawyers, three private detectives and two handwriting analysts, and offered a reward of $50,000 to catch the murderer.

1999 10 After nearly three years of investigation, speculation and rumors, the Boulder District Prosecutor announced that no one was accused of murdering Jon Beni due to lack of evidence. However, many minor lawsuits triggered by this case, including the Boulder Police Department and media reporters, have not brought substantial progress to the investigation.

The police made unremitting efforts to hunt down criminals across the ocean.

After three years of silence about Jon Beni's murder, it was not until 2002 that the new district attorney in Boulder took over the case and promised to push it forward. In March of the following year, the judge of Atlanta federal court said that the case was probably committed by an intruder. In April, Tom Bennett, a retired police detective hired by Boulder City Police Department, began to investigate again.

Prosecutor mary mary ray West said that the arrest of 16 in Thailand was "the result of a comprehensive investigation". Lin Wood, the lawyer of the Ramsey couple, revealed that the suspect Carl is a teacher in Georgia.

At present, the relationship between Carl and the Ramsey family is unknown, but they all live in the suburbs of Atlanta at the same time.

Suspected child molestation case

According to the director of Thailand Immigration Police, Carl said, "I fell in love with Jon Beni, because she was beautiful, so he kidnapped her and accidentally killed her." It is also reported that Carl used to teach in California, but was fired because he was accused of being related to child pornography. A California district attorney confirmed this: Carl was accused of child pornography in 2002 and was disqualified as a teacher.

On June 24th this year, Jon Beni's mother Patricia Ramsey died of cancer. Although she didn't see her daughter's killer brought to justice, Wood said that one month before her death, she knew that the suspect was about to be arrested. (Thank you)

Vortex of public opinion

The American media made the case into a thousand accusations.

After the arrest of the first suspect, Lin Wood, the lawyer of the Ramsey couple, while expressing his relief, also pointedly pointed out the evil consequences caused by the irresponsible hype of the American media. He said: "Because the most obscene and false accusations in the media mislead the public's thinking, no one will look at the evidence again." In this regard, many critics and grassroots bloggers have also issued a call for the media to reflect on this case.

Those who once insisted that Jon Beni's mother was the murderer expressed regret and apology in their blogs, and pointed their finger at the traditional media. 1996, Fox TV and other American media set off a so-called "true crime" wave. Like Simpson's murder, Jon Beni's murder was also reported and played up.

Critics point out that many versions of Jon Beni's murder are fabricated by the media: a rich father who only cares about his career? The beauty queen's mother? Or are you jealous of your sister's 9-year-old brother? These sensational versions have not made any progress in the case, but they have earned enough attention for the so-called "media experts".

In this way, Jon Beni's family was accused and convicted in the "third eye court"! In fact, judging from the testimony of all relatives and friends, Jon Beni's family didn't expect anything from her except her wonderful performance on the stage.

The judiciary speaks with evidence, but some media in the United States conduct eye-catching hype for the purpose of "curiosity". Jon Beni's murder is full of twists and turns, which proves that the overwhelming media coverage has really affected the progress of the case detection. Not only that, the damage caused by the media frenzy to the families of victims and innocent people is almost irreparable.
