Report: Arrest made in JonBenet Ramsey case

Suspect detained in Thailand in connection with ’96 murder, DA source says

Associated Press said:
DENVER - A suspect has been arrested in connection with the ten year-old mystery surrounding slain 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, Denver’s KUSA reported Wednesday.

The suspect was detained in Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday morning, the local NBC affiliate said, and was going to be brought to the U.S. within the next two days by a Boulder County District Attorney investigator.

Boulder officials, who would not give the identity of the suspect, were expected to hold a press conference later Wednesday.

JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in her parents’ Boulder, Colo., basement on Dec. 26, 1996. A grand jury investigation ended with no indictments, and no arrests were made.

According to KUSA, the suspect in custody knew details about the murder that had not been made available to the general public.

Suspect held on unrelated charges

Federal officials familiar with the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the man was being held in Bangkok on unrelated sex charges.

JonBenet’s parents, John and Patsy said an intruder killed their daughter but a cloud of suspicion hung over the couple. The district attorney and a federal judge in Colorado have said it is likelier that an intruder was responsible.

JonBenet’s death became fodder for tabloids and the subject of books.
Patsy Ramsey, who died of ovarian cancer in June, said at the time of her daughter’s death that she found a ransom note on the back staircase of the family’s home demanding $118,000 for the safe return of JonBenet.
John Ramsey said he found his daughter’s body in a basement room, wrapped in a white blanket eight hours later.

Poor random Thailand dude they arrested.
 
WOW!!!
I thought it was the brother who did it.
 
It's sad that Patsy Ramsey didn't live to see this. :(
 
It was this guy:

What does Harry Hamlin have to do with the Ramsey's?
Now his wife is a different story.
 
Thought the brother did it and the parents didn't want him to go to jail.
 
I still think the parents had something to do with. Look, I'm not trying to be rude or a prick about the mother or anything.

But doesn't it seem a bit odd that some insane killer can sneak into a house, quietly kill and sexually assault an innocent girl, take time to sit and write a letter, and then run off as if he was Agent 47 or Sam Fisher?

More or less I think the father knew what happened to his daughter.

whats even worse is that she died with the knowledge that everyone thought she had something to do with it :(
 
I always thought it was her father and mother. Glad to see some justice finally happening.
 
Well this is bizarre.
