==Events== On December 25, 1996, JonBenet and her family opened presents and delivered presents to friends and neighbors. That night, JonBenet and her family went home and went to bed. Early the next morning, just after 5:00 a.m., Patricia Ramsey woke up, and found, on the stairway, a two-and-a-half-page-long hand-written ransom note addressed to Mr. Ramsey claiming that their daughter had been kidnapped by "a group of individuals representing a small foreign faction". It demanded a ransom of $118 000, with very specific instructions about the size of the bills and how they were to be delivered, and was signed "S.B.T.C.". Mrs. Ramsey went up to JonBenet's bedroom and found her missing; she called the police, who came and searched the house and found no obvious signs of forced entry, and also some friends of the family. In the meantime, the Ramseys made preparations to pay the ransom. In the afternoon of the same day, the body of JonBenét Ramsey was found in the house's wine cellar by Mr. Ramsey and a family friend, Fleet White. Her own white blanket was wrapped around her torso, her hands were bound with a wire, there was a ligature around her neck and her mouth was taped over with black duct tape. Mr. Ramsey quickly picked her up, loosened her bonds and carried her into the living room, but she was already long since dead. The postmortem examination and autopsy of the body revealed that JonBenet had been strangled twice with a nylon cord, which had been tied to a piece of a paintbrush from the house, presumably for leverage. The brush had belonged to Mrs. Ramsey and had been in the basement. There were also clear signs of blunt force trauma to the head, possible signs of sexual assault, and electrical burns on the cheek, suggesting that she may also have been tasered with a stun gun. The cause of death was ruled as asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma. For years John and Pasty have been accused of the murder, in 2004 Pasty died of cancer and in 2006 they were cleared not guilty. In 2008, prosecutors were finally able to conclude that John and Patsy were not responsible for their daughter's murder, but that DNA points to an "unexplained third party." By this day the Perpetrator who was behind the murder is implied to be most wanted by the FBI.
