Death of a Little Princess: The Tragic Story of the Murder of Jonbenet Ramsey | Carlton Smith

2 posts | 2 read

A Fairy Tale Beginning Six-year-old beauty JonBenet Ramsey was a dream child--smart, talented and blessed. Her mother, a former Miss America contestant, had entered her in every child beauty pageant possible. Wearing lipstick, heavy makeup, and provocative costumes that cost thousands of dollars, with her hair bleached and teased, JonBenet flirtatiously paraded down runways, exuding a sophistication beyond her years. A Nightmare Ending But that dazzling future of crows and titles was brutally cut short the day after Christmas when her mother discovered a random note on the stairs of their luxurious Boulder, Colorado home. Hours later JonBenet's distraught father, millionaire businessman John Ramsey, found his beloved daughter's lifeless body, gagged and strangled in a windowless room in the basement of their million-dollar mansion. An Unspeakable Crime As detectives worked to uncover what happened Christmas night in the darkened mansion, the nation grieved for the innocent little girl whose life was cruelly snuffed out.

so-so

I read this for #LMPBC

It was an interesting reminder of a case that gripped the nation the year I was a freshman in college, but it was written so close to when the crime happened it wasn‘t much more than a summary of the media coverage.

@BeckyWithTheGoodBooks @Jadams1776 @Annie1215 Great round! I really enjoyed reading with this group!

WJCintron I remember! It was heartbreaking. 2y

Bookwormjillk @WJCintron yes, I can‘t believe it was never solved 2y

WJCintron @Bookwormjillk Unspeakable RIP 🙏 2y

I was 15 years old when JonBenet Ramsey was murdered and I was in the grips of the case like much of the nation. This accounting of the early days of the case was rushed to publication within one year of the crime and it shows. Grammatical errors abound, and it focuses more on the media‘s coverage of the case rather than the investigation itself. Sadly, the mistakes made in the beginning of this case will likely keep it unsolved forever. 2⭐️
