Has JonBenet Ramsey’s Killer Been Caught? Previously Suspected

Gary Oliva, 52, has been arrested on child porn charges.  Oliva was a suspect in the killing of Ramsey right after her murder because he was known to be in the area at the time of her killing.  In 2000 in the continuing investigation into the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey it was discovered that Oliva had pictures of Jonbenet and at the time he confessed to being obsessed with the girl.  He has now been charged in downloading pictures of young girls all below the age of ten.  He has been charged with two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a child and one count of sexual exploitation of a child.  He is being held on a $10,000 bail.

Oliva has never been cleared in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey.  He was a strong suspect, but police were never able to find evidence against him strong enough to charge him with the crime.  Her murder was the source of much anguish and debate at the time and even both of her parents were considered suspects at the time.  Professional and amateur detectives alike floated theories about who might have killed her and tabloids to this day use her murder to attract readers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         From Breitbart News:

 Even to this day, Oliva has not been ruled out as the possible killer of the 6-year-old. Sarah Huntley, a spokeswoman for the City of Boulder, told KMGH, “We haven’t ruled him in or out in connection with the Ramsey case.”

“We certainly understand the interest in Mr. Oliva both in connection with the new charges and his possible connection in the past,” Huntley added.

Some say that police will use this most recent arrest in an attempt to put this 20 year case to bed, but even though the arrest increases the possibility he is the murderer, there is still no evidence to tie him to the murder.
