Eight hours later, John Ramsey discovered JonBenét’s body in the basement. She was found with duct tape over her mouth and a nylon cord tied around her wrists and neck. In a move that further compromised the crime scene, John carried his daughter’s body upstairs, removing her from the location where she had been found.

When this theory was detailed in CBS’ 2016 documentary The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey, the Ramsey family slammed the allegations as “false.” Burke sued the network, producers, and hosts for $750 million, and the case was settled for an undisclosed sum.
