Publisher's Summary

Perhaps 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 why? Who is covering up for whom, and who is simply lying? In JonBenet, the most authoritative and comprehensive study of the Ramsey murder, a former lead Boulder Police detective, Steve Thomas, explores the case in vivid and fascinating detail - pointing the way toward an analysis of the evidence some deem too shocking to consider.

Here, Thomas raises these and many other provocative questions:

How was the investigation botched from the beginning, and why did police so carelessly allow the crime scene to be tampered with?

Why were John and Patsy Ramsey protected from early questioning and any lie-detector tests, even though their stories and behavior were erratic, suspicious, and inconsistent?

Why was crucial evidence ignored, why were certain key witnesses unquestioned by detectives, and why were the Ramseys privy to sensitive information about the case and even police reports?

What the critics say

"From my investigation of the Ramsey murder, Steve Thomas was the lead detective on the case from the beginning and may know what happened better than anyone." (Lawrence Schiller, New York Times best-selling author)

Cutting through a thick forest of theories and unanswered questions

The murder and subsequent open ended mystery surrounding the horrible death of little JonBenet Ramsey,a 6year old beauty pageant queen from Boulder Colorado has fascinated and haunted me ever since the unspeakable incident more than two decades ago.To say that writer Steve Thomas’ accounts and telling of his experience working the case takes the listener right back to the media frenzy and controversy related to the bizarre case,would be putting it mildly.Thomas has not only written a book which merely depict and lays out each fact meticulously,he has also managed to cut through a thick forrest of countless theories,unanswered questions and scepticism to ultimately try and reveal the one thing America and the world needs and little JonBenet deserves...the truth.#Audible1

Terrible Narration

I couldn’t get through this audiobook because I couldn’t stand listening to the narrator’s voice.
