Discuss physical evidence and handwriting analysis | Homework Help

On the morning of the 27th December 1996, Patsy Ramsey called the police to report her 5-year-old daughter, Jon Benet Ramsey, missing. The little girl had disappeared from her bedroom and a ransom note demanding one hundred and eighty thousand dollars (exactly the amount John Ramsay, her father, had received as a bonus at work just days before), had been left behind. It was only hours later, that Mr Ramsey found his daughter’s strangled and battered body in the basement of their home in Boulder, Colorado. Immediately after the accidental discovery of Jon Benet’s body, the parents fell under the suspicion of the police, because a lack evidence was found that an intruder had entered and killed the little girl. In fact, no proper search was conducted when the Ramseys first reported the case and friends were allowed to freely enter and leave the house.  The Ramseys hired an attorney, publicist and investigators to defend their case, when they and their son, Burke (9 at the time of Jon Benet’s death), were interviewed by the police. In separate rooms, all three members of the Ramsey family were interviewed. After the interview, it was suspected that Patsy Ramsey wrote the ransom note herself, as the note was written from pen and paper found in Patsy’s own writing corner. The evidence found in the basement however, bore all the classic signs of a murder by an intruder, including an open basement window, an unidentified boot print outside the house, a hand made strangling device and a possible sexual assault on the child. At the time, police were confident that the case would be successfully solved using the DNA as evidence, but almost nine years later, the police have still not solved the case, no new leads have been found and none of the members of the Ramsey family have admitted to the murder. To this day, police are still attempting to find the person responsible for the murder of Jon Benet and the case remains unsolved.discuss physical evidence, handwriting analysis, discuss the limitations of police to solve this case?
