John Ramsey: Christmas Night and the Hours Before the Discovery

At 1:39:09 · chapter starts 1:31:50

John Ramsey describes Christmas Day 1996 as entirely ordinary: the family had children in and out all day playing with new toys, visited friends for dinner that evening, and returned home around 9:30 PM. JonBenét had fallen asleep on the short ride home — just six blocks — and John carried her upstairs while Patsy changed her for bed. The family had an alarm system but had stopped using it after it triggered accidentally, and they did not lock windows or check the doors that night. A door was found open the following morning — likely the entry point for the killer, who Ramsey now believes had been hiding in the house before the family returned. The dog, Jock, had been dropped at a neighbor's because the family was leaving the next morning for a post-Christmas cruise.
