Murder mystery Who killed the young beauty queen of Colorado
Christmas Day, December 26, 1996 in Colorado State of the United States. The phone at the police station rang at 5:45 AM. I realized that her daughter had been kidnapped. When the police arrived at John Ramsey's house, they found Patsy and John. The couple were in a state of intense panic. In his hand holding a letter of ransom.Patsy recalls Joan Bent. A 6-year-old daughter, the owner of their Colorado child beauty queen, disappeared from her bedroom. And she found a letter of ransom, the child was placed on the stairs of the final house, saying:
"We are a group of people who are called representatives of the aliens. Now that we have held your daughter, she is safe and has not been hurt. And if you still want her to live until 1997, you must follow our orders. You have to withdraw $ 118,000, divided into 100 $ 100,000 notes, and the remaining 18,000 to total $ 20 each. When you get home, you have to put the money in a brown paper bag. We'll call you between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM tomorrow to tell you where to put the money. Sending money will leave you exhausted and exhausted. Therefore, take full rest. If we find that you withdraw money quickly We will call you faster. You will send money to us soon. And you will get your daughter back.

They don't like you so much So don't do anything that is provoking or challenging. Tell anyone, whether it's the FBI or the police.

Now it's all up to you, John from the SBTC Group."
After reading the letter The police then installed a wiretapping machine to quickly capture the whereabouts of the culprits. John hurried to withdraw the money from the bank as the villain ordered. After that, everyone sat lonely and waited anxiously for the phone call. Along with consoling Patsy who was crying all the time But he waited and waited until the time passed by one o'clock. It did not appear that there was even a single ring from anyone. Until one o'clock Boredom, John invites a close family friend Fleet White to wander around the house to see if anything has been stolen.
They both noticed something unusual in the entrance to the basement. John and Fleet helped to push the door to the stiff, broken room. Going inside, he found a small body. Of little Joan Bent there. She lay on her back, covered with a blanket over her pajamas. There was a big wound on his head. Where the mouth was taped tightly There was a string of white strings tightened around the neck until it sinks deep into the space behind a small stick. Patience Both wrists were tied with the same rope. The little boy's body was stiff, dark green, and had a faint bad smell. Indicating that she had died at least one day.
As soon as he saw that John hurried in and grabbed the child. But when I found out that she was completely dead So he carried the dead body back into the hall. While calling out to Patsy all the way. Finding the girl's body immediately turned the situation around. The police target all suspicions on their spouses, John and Patsy. Because, as usual, homicide cases took place in the home without evidence that intruders had invaded. The police first had to suspect family members, which in the case also raised a number of suspicious reasons. First, the police found snow footprints outside the house. And there were shoe prints in the basement where the bodies were found Which indicates that someone has climbed out of the basement of the house But there was no footprint showing that intruders had entered from the outside.
Second, that night many neighbors heard multiple cries coming from Ramsey in the middle of the night. And saw the lights turn bright Which is surprising that the two spouses Ramsey fell asleep Nobody heard such a sound. Police also found that the paper used to write the ransom letter was torn from a tear notch in the house. Even the pen used to write the letter was found inside the house as well.
More surprisingly, John's reaction had to be attributed to the discovery of the body. From the experience of the police who saw a lot of people dead. As soon as I brought the mother to see the body of the baby lying dead. They have to call the police first. But John picked up Joan Bent's body himself. As if deliberately destroying the scene conditions And after sending the body to the forensic institute John telephoned the news to two of his children who were vacationing in different cities. And was on his way back because of the news that her sister had been kidnapped for ransom. But John said that Joan Bent was dead, with his silent words as if he were talking about common matters. It's not news of the death of my daughter, however.
The police suspicions are not all that far. They found $ 118,000 in a ransom letter. It's the same amount of Christmas bonus John just received, and the SBTC abbreviation likely came from the Subic Bay Training Center, which was John's military unit during his service in the Navy. In 1960, the villain had to get to know John in depth, as if he were the same person, so that he knew so much of his personal details.
All of the evidence leads the police to the conclusion that the killer Joan Bent was not a stranger. But probably John Her father. And John would not be able to cover all traces Without the help of Patsy along with But a rich man like John is not a pig that the police can easily chew on. Knowing that the prison table may float to the body He quickly hired two smart lawyers. And the two golden attorneys were able to do their job well by making a request to court for John's bail as easily as turning his hand. The police have to rely solely on the results of the autopsy of the murderer of Joan Bent.
An autopsy found that despite being only 6 years old, Joan Bent has been sexually assaulted for a long time. Her hymen had a 1cm x 1cm tear in it, and the vulva was swollen and covered with blood. Her cause of death was strangled, her neck fractured to the skull without a tear. But there is a hard impact round like being hit with a flashlight or a golf club There were scratches on the back and both legs that were dragged from somewhere before being left in the basement.
The autopsy confirms the horrifying truth that While his head was hit so hard that he was seriously injured Joan Bent is still alive. She was struck over and over again. But the killer feared that she would not die, so strangled her neck and tightened her with a rod. To ensure that the little one will definitely die.
It was a brutal, brutal murder. Especially when the victim was only a beautiful girl at the age of 6 only.
Although the law could not condone the Ramsey family But not that they will be able to move comfortably. Because the social trend is not as bad as the legal punishment That followed until all family members did not have a stand in Boulder. John and Patsy retaliate by going on a television program to assert their innocence.
“I didn't kill my daughter Joan Bent. Someone said she was sexually abused. But I can say that this is a great insult to my family. You guys are all wrong. ”In addition, John also set aside a cash prize of up to one hundred thousand dollars for anyone who can give a clue to a criminal. (About thirty million baht) as well.
But instead of investing in a TV, it helps the gossip of John and Patsy to soften. It turns out that the more the Ramsey moves The villagers have more new stories. Have fun gossiping until John has to carry a child and fled to Atlanta to buy comfort. Thus, the Ramsey family's affair began to fade into the attention of society. A year later, it was a big win. When the lab examined Joan Bent's body, it was not spermicidal. In other words, the boy was not sexually abused as the police decided. This objectionable forensic evidence has caused the police in charge of the case to rise in rows.
Police officer Steve Thomas, convinced John and his family was the key to Joan Bent's death. Immediately announced his resignation from government service Before leaving, Steve also left the tinder that prosecutors enjoyed taking the case, which should be government secret, to consult with John. The rumors that John secretly gave some prosecutors a kickback became more true, and then, 13 months later, on October 13, 1999, the murder of a young beauty queen of Colorado. Come to an end When a trial jury declared that all the Ramseys were innocent, "we do not have enough evidence to report the arrest of everyone who has been tried," Boulder prosecutors told reporters.
The results of this ruling have tainted another page of US justice circles. Loud objections across the country force John and Patsy to enter the lie detector to reaffirm their innocence on May 25, 2000, but when proof is still done by a team of former prosecutors. Therefore, none of the villagers would believe the outcome that was out there. The Ramsey's main wing was in Atlanta. Without ever returning to step on Boulder.
John's new life in Atlanta and his family should be as comfortable as the power of money can inspire. But because karma in this era is on a rocket or whatever is most likely to be guessed They soon received the bad news that the cancer in Patsy had spread again. Worse, this time the cancer cells have spread to a level that cannot be recognized. Which means that she is dying The misfortune that happened to her not only caused distress for her children and her husband. But also affected people following the murder of Joan Bent Everyone hopes that before death, Patsy may repent and confess the truth.
However, there are far more unexpected things in the world than expected. Police suddenly get new information that 41-year-old American teacher John Mark Carr has written an e-mail to a professor in Colorado. To study the case of Joan Bent from the beginning. And Carr confessed that he was the killer everyone was looking for.
Carr's history confuses those who believe that little Joan Bent died at the hands of her father. Carr was born in Hamilton, Alabama.After graduating with a bachelor's degree, Carr worked as a land brokerage. Before becoming a teacher assistant at a small school In Alabama in 1996, exactly the year that the murder of Joan Bentley took place. Carr was later invited to leave after several complaints that he had used inappropriate words to children. But perhaps as a teacher, Carr found his own way. Because after that he went on to study in the art field to become a full-time teacher. But a few months later, he was pummeled by police for possession of a naked child. He humiliated Carr's wife and asked for a divorce. Part of the indictment said she had just learned from a former school where her husband had worked. That he exhibits unusual child-lusting behavior that is not suitable for a teacher profession
Even trace the story back Parents who used their children to study with Carkong go crazy. As this kind-hearted young teacher married a young girl, Quyentana Shots, who is only 13 years old, it shows his love for sex with his child. But Carr had the opportunity to caress his young wife for just one year. The court also declared his marriage null and void at the request of Shotsts. Which confessed that she had to breathe in fear every day Until he was afraid that he would die before he could grow up to be a woman Same as Carla The second wife, who had already divorced Carr, married him when he was only 16.
Carla told a television station that Since the case of Joan Bent, has been booming in every corner of the city. Her ex-husband was unusually obsessed with researching the case. Mr. Wexford Carr's father admitted that his son was very interested in the Joan Bent case. And made a report to the college where he graduated The skill of writing that is like seeing the events with his own eyes is so awesome that the teacher even claims that if writing a novel for sale Guarantee that you must sell the best selling raw materials for sure.
After being arrested for having a nude picture of a child In possession Carr escaped from a case of wandering as a canary yellow in various countries. Such as South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Australia, Honduras and Costa Rica by pursuing a career as a teacher of their choice. But it is worth noting that he has never been anywhere in one place for more than two years. Before being caught by the police in 2002 in a small town called Bangkok. This is Thailand.
When arrested, instead of denying that they were not guilty, like most suspects Carr, in turn, said he was the murderer of Joan Bent. But when the police send the matter to the prosecutor Colorado prosecutors also made everyone face up by not handing over Carr. For a short reason That the evidence is insufficient Because at the time of the murder of Joan Bent Carr was celebrating Christmas with his family to the city of Atlanta, Georgia from Boulder city hundreds of miles away.
Seth poured Dominguez's lawyer stated that Carr was clapping. The Boulder District Attorney has lifted his client's arrest warrant. And that the police hurriedly arrested Carr in spite of The lack of evidence is just looking for the scapegoat. Because this case has been heard by the masses and the news has become a hot topic already However, to survive from the position of the murderer in the Joan Bent case But Carr still didn't die, and had to go to the prison in the jail. Because the child pornography case in his possession has not expired.
It was noted that all the time when Carr's story hit the front page for several days in a row. The Ramsey family, who are direct stakeholders, are completely indifferent. Does not show any reaction Come out even a little. As if they were initially convinced that Carr was not the murderous murderer of his daughter, Ramsey's former housewife Lindahoffman Pugh, said in a social gossip book: “It is possible that Joan Bent was brutally murdered by her mother, I know, the friends of the family know. Even the police know There will only be a process of justice that cannot be reached.”
