1996. the murder of Joan Bei Ni, the "little beauty queen" in the United States.
Since Joan Bei Ni's body was found in Ramsey's basement, the focus of the investigation has never left her parents. Her mother, Patsy Ramsey, died of breast cancer in June this year, and she still has not got rid of the public's suspicion that she murdered her daughter. Her father, John Ramsey, and her brother, Bourcq Ramsey, aged 65,438+09, live separate lives in Atlanta, hoping to escape the suspicion of the whole world. Now, they finally heard that the suspect who murdered little Joan Bei Ni was arrested in Thailand. Before their daughter was murdered, the lives of John and Percy Ramsey were almost perfect. Patsy, a former beauty queen, married a successful businessman. They moved to Boulder, Colorado in 199 1, where John started his own computer company from the garage. The couple easily integrated into their new life in the state and made many new friends. They built a big house in the elite community and often entertained guests. However199665438+on February 26th, the death of my daughter changed all this. The couple clearly remember that the day before their daughter's accident, the whole family stayed late at a friend's house on Christmas Eve, and little Joan Bei Ni fell asleep on her way home. After the first TV station came to the conclusion that the Ramsey couple were probably murderers, media reports continued this statement. In view of the fact that the police have always regarded them as key suspects, the Ramsey couple criticized the police in an interview with a TV reporter at 1997 1. They said that the police's detection work was very bad from the beginning, and the police officers did not conduct a thorough search after arriving at the scene. During the search, the police failed to protect Joan Bei Ni's bedroom, which led to many people coming in and out, and many important evidences were destroyed. In order to catch the murderer, the Ramses hired eight famous criminal defense lawyers, three private detectives and two handwriting analysts, and also hired a news consultant from Washington as their chief spokesperson. They also offered a reward of $50,000 to catch the murderer as a sign of sincerity. Their expenditure in the first month reached $654.38+$500,000. In order to avoid the tracking of local news media and reduce contact with the outside world, Ramsey and his wife quickly moved out of Boulder and lived in Chicago and Atlanta successively. In 2004, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey published the book Death of Innocent People to tell the public their grievances and doubts. They believe that investigators should start with "insiders" who are familiar with them, not doubt them. The couple burst into tears when they recalled their daughter's murder. They once considered suicide, but later gave up the idea. Patsy said, "We have another child. He needs us now more than ever. " They are especially indignant at the hypothetical murder theory, such as Patsy accidentally killing her daughter in a rage and John sexually assaulting her daughter.
