New details have surfaced in the death of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey -- nearly 16 years after she was found bound and gagged with duct tape in the basement of her family's Boulder home, reports the Daily Beast.

JonBenet Ramsey Murder Mystery: New Developments
After years of investigation, former lead detective Jim Kolar revealed in his novel "Foreign Faction: Who Really Kidnapped JonBenet?" new theories which may lead to finding the suspect.
 
Kolar explains that cobwebs found on the window of the basement indicate an intruder could not have entered without brushing them away, and must have been inside the house prior to the incident.
 
He also notes that markings on JonBenet's body were inconsistent with the stun gun believed to have been used. His theory states a child's toy could be responsible for the marks on her back.

In a Daily Beast interview, Kolar spoke about the release of his novel. "I was hoping this case would have been resolved, and this book would have been about how it was solved… unfortunately, that is not how it's shaken out."

He continued, "I think the facts in this book will move perception closer to the truth. It's definitely a lot more revealing than what's been out there previously."

Police initially suspected family members, but dismissed that in 1999, citing a lack of evidence. Patsy Ramsey died of ovarian cancer in 2006. John Ramsey remarried in 2011.
 
Brother Burke Ramsey was 9 when JonBenet died.
 
John Ramsey appeared on “Anderson” last March.

I tried to prevent the murder by John Ramsey's Illigitamate son, or first wife's brother, Larry Rohn, A.K.A.,Bill Ramsey for 1 & 3/4 years prior to the murder! I never gave up! To make a long story short. I was left a message on Dec. 23, 2010 @ 13:00/1: P.M. E.S.T. by Commander Kim Stewart. She identified herself and said, " I'm calling as per instructions of D.A. Stan Garnett, to let you know, YOU HAVE SOLVED THE JON BENET RAMSEY MURDER CASE! And I look forward to working with you on this case." I've written a book " The Jon Benet Ramsey Case and Much More... BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH!" I need a Publisher, and I'm not to good on computers. I have matching steel plates to one of the Torture/Murder Weapons, and the killer's handwriting! Please Help? For Jon Benet's Sake! "The Specialist" P. S. John has known for at least 13 years that "WE" have the right guy! His refusal to stand up for the truth is our biggest problem! I can explain why. In sincerity for Jon Benet! Brian C. P. Parkinson

My vision concerning Jon Benet Ramsey
By David Figueroa


I, David Figueroa lived in Tyler, Texas. on 26 December 1996, I was working for Jack O’Diamond Lincoln Mercury. The news flashed on television concerning the murder of the little girl from Boulder. I had moved to Tyler, Texas. on February 1996 in pursuit of my “Dream” to fulfill God’s plan for my life. I wanted to be the Crusade Director for R.W. Schambach Revivals. I was not successful in obtaining the job.
After much frustration I decided to move back to Tulsa, Oklahoma., on June 1997 where I formerly lived. I was driving my car on Lewis avenue when suddenly I was pulled over by a Tulsa Police Officer for having my license plate wrongfully displayed. To my devastation I was shocked to receive the information that I had a warrant out for my arrest for a)indecent exposure & b)sexual battery. This crime occurred in July of 1994 after I met Tulsa’s leading Master Tarot Card Reader. I was studying the prophetic ministry, metaphysical knowledge and the world of the Psychic Realm. The evening of that July in 1994, I was studying material by the late Dr. Lester Sumrall on the subject of Demonology. (I should have been at Braums Ice cream) At about 11:00 pm I received a call from Master Tarot Card Reader “Miss So-n-So”. We had a 2 hour conversation which covered different topics including her personal life. I was single, 30 years old, lonely and the interest of meeting her was something I entertained. I had gone through a divorce 5 years earlier and wanted to meet a nice lady, and this gave the occasion being that she indicated she was single. She invited me to her place of business. She said she owned a hair salon and it happen to be on 31st Sheridan & I lived on 21st Sheridan. We talked about the possibility of me even getting a hair cut from her. She also said she gave readings and charge $40.00. She invited me over and told me that she would be alone there on her day off but that she would be there for me.
I prepared to go to work but I made plans to meet with her and get to know her. At 10:00am the designated time given to meet her, I walked in to her Hair Salon and introduced myself. She was there with another lady. She was in progress of a Tarot Card Session. I said to her; I thought you wanted to meet me? She just sat there in a hypnotic state of mind and I told her I was leaving. As I did an about-face and walked off, I was overcome by a force and turned around and expose myself. When I snapped out of it, I was alarmed and pushed the other lady out of the way as she stood and I ran out. I think that I was confused by the material I was studying the previous night and the extent and content of the conversation I had with “Miss So-n-So.” That night I called her back and several times afterward. I was really confused with all the junk I was studying.
The next day a Det. Richard Smith from the Tulsa Police Department called me at exactly 11:00pm. He told me there was a homicide and wanted to talk to me about it. He ask if I knew “Miss So-n-So”, the Tarot Card Reader. I said; Yes. He said; she has been murdered and you need to come talk to me tonight. I went to the police station and met with the Detective. He gave me a cup of coffee. He questioned me; do I know Miss So-n-So? I said I did. And, then He continued by saying I have been accused of indecent exposure but it is a misdemeanor, do not worry about it. I went home and I was worried and confused.
Three years passed by and I was in Tyler, Texas. When I decided to return to Tulsa on 1997 I had no idea I had a warrant out for my arrest. It just so happens that the arrest took place on the same day the incident happened on 1994.
I was devastated. I was sentenced to 2 years at John Lilley Correctional Center. I served 6 months in the Tulsa County Jail. While at John Lilley Correctional Center I had two visions. I saw an inmate who was a Christian packing his belongings and I heard a voice that said; "tell him tomorrow to pack his things because in 3 days he will be leaving". The inmate was there for 20 years! Then right after that vision, Jon Benet Ramsey appeared to me. She had a camera strapped around her neck and she said to me three times; "the photographer did it". Then she vanished.
The next day I saw the inmate who was a believer in Jesus Christ in the dorm. I approached him and told him; "The Lord Jesus told me to tell you in a vision to pack your things because in 3 days you will be leaving". He looked at me as if I was nuts. And, there were about 4 other inmates there with him. He told me: "David you better be right because if you are not I am going to come looking for you". About that time his name was called out in the intercom. It was exactly 1:00pm. Three hours later he approached me because he was looking for me. He was grinning from ear to ear with the good news that was given to him by the case manager who told him to “pack his things because in 3 days he was leaving". Three days later he was gone.
I believe God has given me the answer to the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey.
I was released from John Lilley Correctional Center on 28 January 1999. Soon thereafter I landed on a job at The Petroleum Club of Tulsa. I rented a room from my manager Jeannie Thorton. While off of work one afternoon, I had woke up from bed and proceeded toward the hallway to the restroom,when suddenly at the bottom of the stairs stood Jon Benet Ramsey. She had a camera strapped around her neck as in the vision at John Llley Correctional Center and said to me three times; "the photographer did it". And then she vanished. This premonition occurred a few more times thereafter. I was so convinced that it was from God that I told Clp. Randy Lawmaster from the Tulsa Police Department about it.
I am a Catholic. I grew up in church all my life except for the ages of 14,15 & 16, when I rebelled.
If this vision is a mistake I do apologize but I think it is from God. And, the answer to the murder concerning Jon Benet Ramsey has to do with a camera or photographer.

I have always said the son did it. All attention was on her, and I think he was jealous.

Hate to say this...but I always thought maybe the brother was responsible and the things the investigator just said makes me think I was right...The parents knew and protected the little boy, he might have been jealous of her because of all the attention she recieved- and marks on her may have been caused by a children's toy?? A 9 year old is perfectly capable of something like that, and if the parents knew they should have got that child help, it is not like he would have been jailed for his life he would have been out at 18-21...It seems like maybe investigators thought it was the son and did not want to pursue it- and that is why they did not charge either parent-because it was obvious they either did it or knew who did-they KNEW who was in there home!!

Jon Benet wasn't "kidnapped", she was murdered! And this man was lead detective on the case? It's not at all surprising why it remains unsolved.... after reading this.
