Episode 1: JonBenet Ramsey.

Hello,

Here is episode one, which pleases keep in mind is a rough test run. I took all the things I fucked up in this one and used them to improve the 2nd episode. The camera angles during the last 15 mins are chaos and I’m sorry. I went to try and fix it and it just got messy so I left it. It’s a learning process.

In this episode, I talk about the first murder I was really obsessed with, Jonbenet Ramsey. She was 2 years younger than me at the time of her death. My little murderino baby brain couldn’t handle it and my mom didn’t fight it. She let me watch the tv movie about it and check out the book from the library which I’m sure when I bought to school for reading time scared one of my 6th-grade teacher.

Just a little background in case you don’t know who this person is and have been living under a rock. JonBenét Patricia Ramsey was born August 6, 1990, to John and Patsy Ramsey. She was the youngest of their children, her brother Burke being 3 years older. John also had 2 other kids from a previous marriage. She was an American child beauty queen who was found murdered in her home the day after Christmas in 1996.

The horror show of this whole case started the next morning when her mother Patsy found a lengthy handwritten ransom note on the spiral staircase in the house.

The note itself had some weird things in it.

  1. They specifically told them to not talk to anyone even a stray dog. Also that they had 99%. chance of them killing their Daughter but a 100% chance of getting her back. Which is just weird math to use for it. However, the first thing they did was call the police.

  2. SBTC which was said to have meant Saved By The Cross" in the Christian faith. The theory suggests the preceding "victory" alludes to "victory over Satan." Also that it was a reference to John Ramsey's naval training at the Subic Bay Training Center in the Philippines.

  3. the ransom amount of 118,000. 000 was the exact amount of John’s Christmas bonus.

They called the police who didn’t search the house at all. Which should have been the first thing that was done since a child was missing and the house is just so big. They finally had some people search the house including her father, who was the one that found the girl's body in the side room in the basement. Keep in. mind this was about seven hours after she had been reported missing. John in a fit of grief picked up her body, brought it upstairs, and effectively disturbing the whole crime scene. She sustained a broken skull from a blow to the head and had been strangled using a garrote which is a rope and a piece of a paintbrush you can twist to tighten was found tied around her neck.

The autopsy report stated that the official cause of death was "asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma." Her death was ruled a homicide. The case generated nationwide public and media interest, in part because her mother Patsy Ramsey (herself a former beauty queen) had entered JonBenét into a series of child beauty pageants. The crime is still unsolved and remains an open investigation with the Boulder Police Department.

Let’s talk about the suspects

Parents-of course this is the big one. Mainly cause parents are always the first suspects. Also the fact Pasty found the Ransom note and the first thing it says is don’t call the police and she calls the police. Plus the handwriting on the note was said to be very similar to hers. The story I always heard was that her mother did it cause she peed on her bed, which was due to the fact there weren’t any sheets on her bed. As I stated above The amount of the ransom was the exact amount of John’s Christmas bonus. Also, the fact that John found her in a random part of the basement after no one else found her during the search. It all just seemed sketchy.

Brother- This is the other suspect that everyone goes for. The theory is that her brother was eating a bowl of pineapple that night she swiped one and he went into a rage and hit her with a flashlight. This one always bothered me cause her brother is only a year older than me. However, I know this can happen.

If someone in the Family killed her we will not find out until Burke is on his death bed. Cause you can’t go to jail if you are dead.

John Mark Karr- the 41-year-old elementary school teacher, was arrested in Bangkok in 2006 when he confessed to murdering JonBenét. They proved that wasn’t true.

Pedophiles- There was also a rumor of several pedophiles in the area who were making claims that they had killed a girl fitting her description around this time. Neither of those was proven to not be true.

Santa aka Bill McReynolds- was said to have paid too much attention to her and even going so far as to arrange a secret visit from Santa Claus on Christmas. She was apparently his "special friend," and had bought him a jar of glitter after his heart surgery. Later on, he asked his wife to mix the gold glitter in with his ashes when he died. Honestly, I feel like Santa could be a likely suspect especially since it was the night after Christmas. Seriously if Santa came to my house when I was 6 and said “ Hey let me in I forgot a present” I would let him in. That’s just kids being dumb and trusting.

Who do you think did it? I know there are so many more theories, but these are the biggest ones.

Also, Excuse my Dog they are all precious but assholes.

The Breakfast Details

Breakfast Potatoes: I chopped them up into little cubes then toss them with Olive Oil, Pink Himalayan Salt, All Season Salt, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Oregano, and Paprika. Use whatever amounts of spices that you desire. Preheat the over to 400 and put them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins then Broil for 5 mins. This makes for some super crispy delicious potatoes.

I put the Turkey Bacon in the Air Fryer for 8 mins at 400 Degrees and shook it up halfway through. It really makes Turkey bacon super crispy.

The cantaloupe I just cut up. I always like to have fruit on hand as a little something extra. Also, it makes it a well-balanced meal.

I only buy Cage Free eggs and used them for the next to parts of the breakfast

Cheesy Egg which is just scrambled eggs with Colby Jack and Mozzarella cheese in them.

Doughnut French Toast: semi stale Doughnuts dipped in a mixture of eggs, cinnamon and Vanilla Extract with a little almond milk. Then you just fry them until they are cooked.
