Mr. Karr's claim that JonBenet committed suicide is supported by a letter written by JonBenet's mother, Patsy, shortly before she died of ovarian cancer on June 24 this year. As reported exclusively on this website, Mrs. Ramsey had mailed the letter to her attorney with instructions that it not be opened until after her death.
"As long as I was alive, I was determined to protect my daughter's name," wrote Mrs. Ramsey, "even if that meant being a suspect in her 'murder.' I always knew, however, that JonBenet would not have wanted the fear of being 'murdered' to prevent other little girls from entering beauty pageants. That is why I have decided to reveal the true cause of her death at this time. Besides, if I had come forward with the details of her suicide earlier, I might have had to return the trophies she had won, and that would have broken my heart."
According to Mrs. Ramsey, her daughter was distraught about gaining five pounds during the Thanksgiving-
Christmas holidays, and she feared she would not be able to wear her Sally Starr costume in an upcoming pageant.

I'm not familiar with this media outlet; maybe it's a National Inquirer sort of paper.

Smells of BS to me.
Um.... sure.
I feel so sorry for the Ramsey's having to deal with this crap over and over. I would definitely say it was BS. How many six year olds do you know that kill themselves?
