(CNN) -- JonBenet Ramsey's body was discovered on December 26, 1996, in a storage room in the basement of her family's home in Boulder, Colorado.
A three-page hand-written ransom note demanding $118,000 was found on a back staircase leading down from the home's bedroom areas, according to the late Patsy Ramsey.
JonBenet's autopsy report, released by the Boulder County coroner in August 1997, is the main source of what is publicly known about the crime scene. The report included the following details:

Saw the picture on the tube today. Looks to me like that teddy bear might be important.
Do you know the source of this?

Seems very damning for Patsy if real.
Think about it. Ramsay was in the computer graphics business. First, for those willing to pay, the pics. Then, later on, for the real money...
Note, too, that the newly-confessed killer was arrested is an area notorius for that mentality. And they both have connections Georgia.
ob.sit: My opinions only
Wonder what information was excluded from the media as the local paper indicated today? (rhetorical)
You may be right, but I really find it hard to tell from web resources that scatter from supporting one side to the other.
See, for instance, JonBenet Ramsey Case Encyclopedia.
It's a mystery. Everybody thinks that they're Sherlock Holmes and playing armchair detective is a time-honored pastime. I think that it's as simple as that.
Damn! I'm so worried about not being sued, that I'm losing prepositions! Sorry guys!
They had tickets to go to their place up in Michigan - going skiing, I think. I didn't realize it until I googled this Michigan connection that John Ramsey tried to run for Congress up in Charlevoix before this all happened (1994?).
Huh? Georgia is known for having rent-your-kid-out to a rapist as a common theme?
Seems far fetched to me, given the wealth of the family. What rould the motivation be? Satanism?
What do you think I'm talking about?
False argument. JonBenet was not Joe Boucher's daughter (it's safe to assume he is not John Ramsey), and Joe's point of view is a legitimate one. This world of ours is filled with people who murder other people, from the very young to the very old. Few murders ever receive even passing interest.
It is not callous whatsoever to observe that there are issues of far greater important in this world than a 10-year-old murder case. This isn't to say that people's interest in the Ramsey case is misplaced. It's one heck of a mystery, and most of us love a good mystery.
I wonder if what he is saying to the media is different that what he wrote in the emails? It could be an attempt to "look" crazier than he is? DNA will tell. The teddy bear thing is most interesting though.
She was buried in Georgia, so they got down there pretty quickly. I didn't think it was that day, but it could have been. I do know that they wanted to leave less than an hour after finding her.
Your point is well taken. I would only add that, technically, JonBenet was not kidnapped since, as far as we know, she was not removed from her own home.
I'm not even that far ahead. The parents put a kid out of diapers into nylons and makeup, and display their handywork in "cute" "beauty" "pageants." As sick as it gets...
Weren't pictures of her body given or sold to a tabloid that published them?
Every time I see those clips of JonBenet performing in very adult costumes my flashes to that scene in Puzo's novel.
The fascination with this case is easy to explain:
1. It is a case the media chose to turn the white hot light of its interest on.2. The media did so because the family is wealthy, the mom was a former beauty queen, and the victim was a gorgeous 6-year-old girl. Better yet, there were plenty of stills and video of the girl the media could salaciously run over and over and over and over again, the better to boost ratings and ad sales (and, let's be honest; to feed plenty of people's sexual fantasies).
3. The case is one heck of a mystery. A real-life TV murder movie. Most of us love a good mystery.

The HUGE importance is that apparently JMK emailed or somehow a photo got to Michael Tracey (the professor) of JMK as a child with that teddy bear that was very precious to him.
