Burke Ramsey, older brother to JonBenét Ramsey, who was found beaten and strangled in the family basement a day after her parents reported her missing in 1996, has finally been asked the one question that Americans have for decades waited patiently for him to answer.
Dr. Phil asked Burke Ramsey if he murdered his sister during a three-part interview on the 20th anniversary of her death.
John and Patsy Ramsey reported their daughter missing on Christmas Eve in 1996 after they said they found a ransom letter demanding $118,000 for her return. JonBenét Ramsey was later found beaten and strangled in the basement the next day.
“The night that your sister JonBenet was killed, there were only three people in that house that we know the identify of,” Dr. Phil said to Burke. “You’re the one that has never spoken. My question for you is why now and why here?”
“Has it ever occurred to you that your parents actually thought you did this and didn’t ask you because they didn’t want to know?”
