JonBenét Ramsey’s father vows to take revenge for the injustice done to wife Patsy
JonBenét Ramsey’s father, John Ramsey, has vowed to take revenge for the ‘wrongs’ done to his late wife Patsy. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
In an exclusive chat, John opened up about his late husband and how he feels she got the hard end of the stick during her lifetime, with people blaming her for their daughter’s murder.
John explained that he feels he “has a duty to right the wrongs done to Patsy.”
“She was kind of attacked like a bad mother, and she can’t defend herself,” he said. “She was a wonderful person.”
In keeping with her character, John claimed that he had “never” heard Patsy speak negatively about anyone other than Geraldo Rivera.
“She didn’t like Geraldo Rivera because years ago he organized a sham trial against us and convicted us in this trial. Patsy happened to see it, and [it] it just really hurt her,” John noted.
He called the kind of things Rivera did “completely unfair.”
“She was a wonderful mother – absolutely wonderful mother – both to her children and to my children, who were her stepchildren,” John continued, gushing over Patsy. “She was great to them, just great. And so for her to be vilified was extremely unfair and inaccurate. So I feel like I have to speak up for her and defend her.”
During the conversation, John also mentioned that he is religious and believes Patsy and JonBenét are together now.
When asked if this brings him any peace, he admitted: “It does.”
John added: “If you really think about it. It’s one of those things I can’t fathom. I have – my little brain can’t figure out how that works, but I believe it. I really do.
“I didn’t come to that belief automatically or easily… There’s just a few things that have happened that make me think, ‘Yeah man, there’s more life here than we see and understand.'”
Although John and Patsy were early suspects in their daughter’s murder, they were never formally charged with anything.
In 2008, a prosecutor in Boulder, Colorado, Mary Lacy, made a formal statement clearing John and Patsy of the crime. She cited new DNA evidence and apologized to the family.
If Radar Previously reported, John claimed that “clueless” police pointed fingers at him and Patsy after they felt they were not acting correctly.
“Day one, before any evidence” and “any information,” John claimed the police felt he and Patsy were guilty because they “didn’t act right.”
“The district attorney told us years later that ‘their whole case was that you didn’t do the right thing that morning.’ Between the time we discovered JonBenét was missing and found her,” he said, adding that investigators “made a decision on the first day” and decided they needed to “arrest him on probable cause.”
When asked what not acting “properly” meant, John explained, “I read the so-called detective who was there that morning…I read her report…and she made observations that could be misinterpreted. For example, she said John was casually going through the mail while we waited for the phone call. [from the alleged kidnapper].
“Well, I was checking the mail stacked outside our door to see if there were any other messages from the kidnapper. That’s what I was doing. She should have done that.’
He also claimed at 10 a.m., the time when the alleged kidnapper was supposed to call him, that the fact that he did not behave in a certain way also did not go over well with the police.
Patsy died in 2006 at the age of 49 after a recurring battle with ovarian cancer.
