A familiar face: The Jonbenet Ramsey Murder

Suspects

There was an unknown male DNA found on Jonbenet's underwear when her body was found. Although, on the 2016 cbs Jonbenet series, they said the DNA could've just been left by the manufacturer that made the underwear, meaning it would be a mistake to rule anyone out, on the murder of Jonbenet.

Suspect #1: John B. Ramsey & Patsy A. Ramsey. <parents of JonBenet> In July 2008, The Ramseys were cleared of any involvement in the case after the DNA didn't match.

Suspect #2: Burke H. Ramsey. <brother of Jonbenet>

Suspect #3: Linda Hoffman-Pugh.
<Ramsey's former Housekeeper>
Linda had worked for the Ramsey family as their housekeeper while her husband, Mervin, was their Handyman, so she obviously had a key to the home. Hoffman didnt even fit the profile of what they were expecting in the killer (White Male, former convict) but she didnt hold back her thoughts that Patsy killed Jonbenet by accident. Patsy claimed her as a suspect when she said Linda was struggling with money problems and refused Linda's request for thousands of dollars. Since Linda knows her way around the home, and the Ramsey's schedule it seemed very possible that she could've killed Jonbenet. But despite that, police eventually cleared after the DNA didn't match, and they just didn't think i could be this women.

Suspect #4: Bill McReynolds
<The Town Santa>
Bill McReynolds, now deceased, was a friend of the Ramsey's who had dressed up as Santa Claus the week before JonBenét's murder to entertain the neighborhood children at one of Patsy's famous Christmas gatherings. While an older man dressed as Santa makes a pretty good perp in a sexualized child murder, the possibility that the now-deceased McReynolds had anything to do with JonBenét's death is extremely unlikely.
McReynolds was rumored to have paid a little too much attention to JonBenét, going so far as to arrange a secret visit from Santa Claus on Christmas. Supposedly, he had chosen JonBenét to be his "special friend," going so far as to bring a vial of glitter gifted to him by the six-year-old with him into heart surgery. Even stranger, he asked his wife to mix the gold glitter in with his ashes were he to die. This particular story generated buzz in the Denver Post, but failed to amount to anything more than the sensationalized character assassination of a friendly old man.

Suspect #5: Gary Olivia
<The Town Drifter>
Gary Oliva was a 32-year-old known sex offender in Boulder, Colorado when JonBenét was found strangled to death in what looked like a potential sexual assault, given that there was a droplet of blood on her underwear. The convicted pedophile had been living in the area on and off when police allegedly found a magazine cutout of JonBenét Ramsey in his backpack after he was apprehended on drug charges in 2000. He was soon released, but suspicions remained.
The Ramsey family's longtime private investigator, Ollie Gray, once referred to Oliva's ties to JonBenét as a "bombshell arrest" in the case and lambasted the Boulder PD for failing to consider him as a more credible suspect. Soon after, Oliva's high-school friend Michael Vail stepped forward with an allegation supporting Gray's suspicion. Vail claimed that not long after the murder, a distraught Oliva had called him on the phone and confessed to his longtime pal that to have "hurt a little girl. I hurt a little girl." Vail revealed to InTouch magazine earlier this year that he was particularly unsettled by how the knots used to fashion the garrote that strangled JonBenét were similar to those used in an incident where Oliva attempted to choke his mother with telephone cord. "My blood ran cold when I read that," recalled Vail of his troubled childhood friend. Oliva was also rumored to have possible connections to a theory that links the marks found on JonBenét's body to an encounter with a stun gun. Oliva had one on him at the time of his initial arrest.
While he, too, was cleared by DNA testing for the JonBenét murder, he was recently charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child for possessing child pornography. He was last reported by the Denver Post to have been arrested in June and held on $100,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in court later this fall.

Suspect #6: Micheal Helgoth
<The electrician>
Another potential suspect, according to Ollie Gray, was an electrician named Michael Helgoth who worked in a nearby auto salvage yard. Gray referred to Helgoth as a "hellraiser" tied to an alleged property dispute involving the Ramseys. Could that have served as possible motivation to seek revenge on the family and kidnap JonBenét? It's been speculated that once the 26-year-old Helgoth caught wind that he could be a suspect in the case (officials found a boot print allegedly similar to his near the Ramsey's home), he committed suicide before anyone could get to him. His death occurred two days after a 1997 press conference announcing that the Boulder DA was zeroing in on a new suspect. However, Helgoth remains cleared by both DNA and death.
