JonBenét Ramsey Documentarian Responds To Woman's Shocking Letter Claiming Her Husband Was The Killer

JonBenet Ramsey Netflix Doc Director Letter Woman Claims Husband Was Murderer

Cold cases have a tendency to warm up when these great true crime documentaries come out. But which leads do you follow??

This week, what seemed like it could have been a huge new lead in the JonBenét Ramsey murder case. The murdered beauty pageant champ’s father John Ramsey revealed this week he got a really shocking note after Netflix‘s Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey? doc dropped. He revealed to DailyMail.com he “got a letter from a lady saying”:

“My ex-husband’s the killer, and I’ve kept this inside for as long as I can — please, please call me.”

WHOA!

Naturally true crime obsessives were chomping at the bit for this to be investigated. And John, now 81 and more desperate than ever to find the killer, did call the number provided. To no avail thus far. He told the outlet:

“We reached out to her, but she didn’t answer the phone, so I don’t know. We’ve shared at this point with a private investigator.”

Seems like a promising lead, right? Well… Not everyone thinks so. Joe Berlinger, who went through months of research to make the Netflix doc, told The US Sun on Thursday not to get too ahead of ourselves:

“Honestly, this lead has been way overblown. Mr. Ramsey did an interview and he just mentioned this in the context of, ‘Yeah, we’ve gotten some recent activity because of the documentary – for example I’ve got a letter on my desk right now.’ He didn’t mean it to be like it was a great lead.”

Ah, so this could be just some crackpot sending a note? They don’t know yet — but that’s the point. Berlinger told the outlet:

“They just don’t know and not sure who is looking at it to verify it. They tried to call her, she left a number. The number didn’t go through. So, he’s told people that the family has gotten a lot of these now and this may be something maybe not. But it’s not to get excited about right now.”

There you have the other side of the coin that true crime programming brings with it. For every real lead or internet sleuth that figures something out, you have a hundred nuts sending in false leads and wasting time. Sad but true.

 

Do YOU think they’ll ever find out for sure who killed JonBenét??
