Born in 1990 in Atlanta, USA, Joan Bennett Ramsey was born bright and outstanding, and showed great acting ability from an early age.
In 1996, when joan Benette was only six years old, she won the championship and won the title of Little Miss Usa when she participated in the children's beauty pageant, and since then, she has won multiple laurels, but who would have thought that a child as young as six would be killed so quickly.
A six-year-old child who was kidnapped
In 1996, Ramsey found a blackmail letter on the stairs of his home, in which the killer claimed to have kidnapped her six-year-old daughter and demanded a ransom of about $118,000 or he would tear up the ticket. Seeing this blackmail letter, Ramsey was very panicked and quickly ran to his daughter's room to find that her daughter was gone.
So she and her husband immediately called the police, and eight hours later, Joan Benette was found in the utility room under her house, her body was beaten, and her mouth was taped, and she was inhumanly abused before she died, and the police then extracted dna from a strange man on her body.
Why would a girl who has been surrounded by various auras since she was a child die mysteriously at home? Not to mention that when the parents were at home, shortly thereafter, the police locked 6 suspects in the investigation, and the mysterious death of the six-year-old child star attracted great attention from the American society, and everyone participated in the discussion of the case, and many people believed that the murderer was among these six suspects.
The first suspect
The first suspect identified by the police was her father, Ramsey, who judged on the grounds that she had disappeared in her own home and that her father had been found in the utility room for the first time. It is also suspicious that after Joan Benett disappeared, her parents were told through a letter that she had been kidnapped and blackmailed, and the logic of normal people could not have felt that she was still in her own home.
So Ramsey, the father of Joan Bennett, was the first to be discovered as the number one suspect. And most importantly, John earned $118,000 that year, which was Ramsey's that year. However, at the time of the final identification, it was found that the DNA and handwriting did not match him, so the suspicion was ruled out.
The second suspect
The second suspect is Joan Bennett's mother, because her handwriting is very similar to the blackmail letter, the blackmail letter and pen are also Percy's own family, plus she knows well that her husband's annual income, the pen used in the blackmail letter is also the one that Percy often uses, but the same DNA proves that Pesci is not a suspect. However, the murder of their daughter made the Pesci couple very sad, coupled with various duties, and later, Percy died of cancer, and the local official sent a letter of apology to The Pesci's family.
The third suspect
The third suspect is Joan Bennett's older brother. Most netizens at that time made assumptions about this, they thought that young John would not come up with such a careful plan, it should be that he killed his sister by mistake, and then the couple covered up all the truth in order to erase their son's crime, then all this also made sense of the previous doubtful writing pen, extortion letter, 118,000 US dollars of income and so on.
But this assumption was that when the couple's suspicions were lifted, John's suspicions were automatically lifted, and the police also found traces of broken air windows in their homes, but there were spider webs around the air windows at that time, so the police did not disclose this clue to the outside world. It also caused the crowd to be unable to believe the innocence of their family.
The fourth suspect
Bill was a neighbor of Joan Bennett's family, and his daughter had been kidnapped, and his wife had written about her daughter being kidnapped into the basement, not to mention that he had been to Joan Bennett's house a few days before the crime, and he was fully familiar with his family's situation and could have stolen pens and papers. Bill also took special care of Joan Bennett, carrying with her gifts she had given him. But in the end it was also ruled out because of DNA.
The fifth suspect
Gary lived a few blocks outside Joan Bennett's house, and after Joan Benett was killed, he told his classmates that he had hurt a little girl. He also had a previous conviction, and the police found pictures of Joan Bennett in his bag, but these were explained by Gary, and he tried unsuccessfully to kill his mother with a telephone line, all of which pointed to him. But in the end, it was because of DNA that it was ruled out.
The sixth suspect
Karl was the only one to admit to the public that he was the killer, not to mention that he had been complained about by many families when he was a kindergarten teacher, so the police arrested him. But the police then found out during the interrogation that everything he said was available, and he also said that he used drugs on Joan Bennett, but did not find out later. Carl's ex-wife also testified for him that they were out on vacation the night Joan Bennett was killed. It also provided proof that, most importantly, that his DNA did not match either.
In Joan Bennett's case, all 6 suspects were suspected of committing crimes, but they were ruled out by DNA. It's been 27 years since the case, and the chances of Joan Bennett being wronged are slim to none. I don't know if I can find the murderer if I put it in the present?
