She was killed in her family's home in Boulder, Colorado, during the night of Christmas in 1996. She was found in the basement of her house by her father about 8 hours after she was reported missing. Her mouth was covered with duct tape, a nylon cord was tied around her neck and wrists, and her body was covered with a white blanket. She was wearing white leggings and a shirt, not the clothing she wore when she was put to bed. Although no semen was found, there was evidence that there had been a vaginal injury and it appeared that her vaginal area had been wiped with a cloth. She had been strangled and sustained a broken skull; a garrote made from a nylon cord and the broken handle of a paintbrush was found tied around her neck. An unidentified boot mark was in the room. Her mother had found a 2 1/2-page handwritten ransom letter on the kitchen staircase. The ransom note and a practice draft were written with a pen and pad of paper from the Ramsey home, but the police believed that the ransom note was staged because of its length, its lack of fingerprints, and its unusual use of exclamation marks and acronyms. Part f the bristle end of the paintbrush was found in a tub containing her mother's art supplies, but the bottom 1/3 of the brush was never located. The crime is still unsolved and remains an open investigation with the Boulder Police Department.DuanesPoeTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053093400086634552noreply@blogger.com
