An intriguing aspect of the case is that JonBenét’s older half-brother, John Andrew Ramsey, was briefly suspected of being involved in her murder. John Bennett Ramsey’s first marriage and his older son, John Andrew, played unexpected roles in the investigation. Despite the challenges, Ramsey remains committed to seeking justice and closure in his daughter’s case and keeping her memory alive.
