Possibly the most compelling murder case of our day, the death of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey galvanized the nation-and years after it occurred, the mystery still endures. Who killed the young beauty queen and just why? Who’s covering up for whom and who is simply resting? In JonBenet, the most authoritative and comprehensive study from the Ramsey murder, a former lead Boulder Law enforcement detective, Steve Thomas, explores the case in vibrant and fascinating detail-pointing the way toward an analysis of the evidence some deem too shocking to consider.

Here, Thomas increases these and many other provocative questions: How was the investigation botched from the beginning, and why did police therefore carelessly permit the crime scene to become tampered with? Why had been John and Patsy Ramsey safeguarded from early questioning and any lie-detector tests, even though their stories and behavior had been erratic, suspicious and inconsistent? Why was essential evidence disregarded, why were particular crucial witnesses unquestioned by detectives, and just why were the Ramseys privy to sensitive information regarding the case and even law enforcement reports?
