About this listen

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?

Critic Reviews

"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)

This was an eye opening for me. The police did a bad job right from the get go & never really recovered.
No doubt in my mind the Ramsay’s were involved, they used their money, standing & power to fraught the police department at every turn.
Justice wasn’t served, the parents got away with murder

Really enjoyed this, but feel like Burke was overlooked a lot in the telling. The Ramseys and boulder DA’s have a lot to answer for

An interesting take from the policeman at the front

This book is absolutely thorough, yet the story is so well-told it stays interesting all the way through. You will have NO DOUBT about who is responsible for what happened to JB after you’ve read/listened to this book. I was riveted — so much info, so shocking, so many unbelievable instances of deliberate coverup. I wish I had this whole book ahead of me, it’s sad to come to the end of it. I’m so glad the true story of what happened to this poor little girl has been told. Steve Thomas—I salute you.

This is SO GOOD
