Cracking More Cases: The Forensic Science of Solving Crimes : the Michael Skakel-Martha Moxley Case, the Jonbenet Ramsey Case and Many More!

While this was interesting, there were too many rambling details. The most interesting case was JonBenet Ramsey, a six-year-old child of a wealthy family who lived in a million dollar house in Boulder, Colorado whose small body was found in the early morning of December 26, 1996.

The book contained interesting details I never read before. He firmly believes the case is not solved because of contamination of the crime scene and details not followed through.

He believes, as other "experts" the ransom note was contrived in nature. No one he ever spoke to about the ransom note saw a note "like this one." The FBI experts who when they first read the note, shook their heads in disbelief.

The body of the pretty little pagent girl was not found at show more first, and when it was found in a darkened part of the basement, the body was mishandled, and perhaps, if handled properly, this case may have been solved.

There were way too many errors, including the fact that the body should have been discovered immediately after a thorough search. There were too many people inside the home, leading to a contaminated scene.

In fact, her father and a friend found the body. John Ramsey carried her cold body upstairs and lay it at the bottom of a Christmas tree. At first, he removed the tape across her mouth.

There were too many "experts" handling the case and the lack of communication and the in house fighting got in the way of solving the case.

One little known detail that the public was not given, was that the underpants this little girl wore were a women's size 7! Where this underwear came from is still a mystery. Later, it was discovered that only Bloomindale's sold the underwear and it was manufactured in Asia.

While the author and well-known forensic scientist spent a lot of time on the case, He still is not sure of what happened to case the death of Jon Benet Ramsey.

Surprisingly, he states that "I think it is quite possible that some kind of horrific domestic accident may have occurred involving this extremely talented and attractive little girl." Perhaps she fell or was even pushed down the narrow staircase that led from her bedroom to the kitchen. Perhaps some rough horseplay with someone led to the death. Was there an argument that occurred? Or, was their in fact a sexual predator that brutally murdered her.

While there were other cases mentioned in the book, this is the one most known. show less
