BOULDER, Colo. — JonBenet Ramsey was six-years-old when she was killed in 1996.
While no one has been convicted for the death
of the child beauty queen, a new report suggests authorities believe they know who did it.
ABC News reports a grand jury believed they had enough evidence to indict her parents, John and Patricia Ramsey, for the death in 1999.
While they couldn’t prove murder, they believe the evidence was there to charge them with child abuse that led to her death.
JonBenet’s parents and brother were the original focus of suspicion in the case, however they maintained an intruder broke into their home.
After the grand jury voted to indict the Ramseys, District Attorney Alex Hunter refused to sign off on it, claiming there was too little evidence to prove his case beyond a shadow of a doubt.
“I and my prosecution task force believe we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges against anyone who has been investigated at this time,” Hunter said in 1999.
With the case still unsolved, John is Jonbenet’s only living parent.
Patricia died following a battle with ovarian cancer in 2006, and John remarried in 2011.
This year, JonBenet would have celebrated her 23rd birthday.

Poor little Angel; may she rest in peace.
May those innocent children whom are pushed into these "pageants" have hope for a successful future in spite of parents whom push them to feel unworthy that they are not pretty enough if they do not win…may they grow with thoughts of a bright future and that they grow up with emotional and psychological problems because they may not feel "pretty enough" to win such tawdry contests…
Sorry if not make sense but I am so tired.
What I find so disheartening is parents that make their children feel unworthy and "failures" if they do not win some contest!

Sorry to say, but my gutt told me long time ago (after reading and watching the movie) that the mother had done it (went crazy on the little girl), and the husband covered for his wife.
