Chapter 1 Journey Beyond Reason Let’s start at the beginning "Cause of death of this six year old female is asphyxia by strangulation associated with craniocerebral trauma," Meyer said in a statement released with the autopsy. Sometime between Christmas night 1996 and the morning of December 26, 1996 six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey's life was ended. At 1:05 p.m. December 26, 1996, her father carried her lifeless body up from her basement tomb. At 8:15 p.m., Dr. John E. Meyers began his preliminary examination of the body. What the coroner's report could not tell us was who killed her and which injury occurred first; the blow to her head that caused an eight inch fracture, or the cord that had been tightened around her neck. But whichever it was, her life ended brutally. Which ever it was would soon become very important to this solving this case. What the coroner's report was unable to determine in death is details about JonBenet's short life. For that we have to rely on verbal and written accounts of those who knew her. She was pretty, talented, and lived in a seemingly secure neighborhood with her mother, father, and her brother Burke. Occasionally her step brother and sister would stay with them. There were nannies when she and her brother Burke were small. She was living in a 15-room mansion complete with a gardener and a housekeeper. Her's was to live a life of privilege. Her father, John Ramsey, built a business that had recently reached the one billion dollar mark. Her mother, Patsy Ramsey, a former beauty queen and cancer survivor, was active in the children's school and in the social circles of Boulder, Colorado. JonBenet had been participating in beauty pageants since the age of three. Patsy Ramsey, her mother Nedra Paugh, and Patsy's sister, Pam, were in league with their goal of bringing up a future Miss America. Singing lessons, portfolios, designers, dance lessons, lightening of her hair - those were all a part of this little girl's life. After JonBenet's death the Ramseys would receive some criticism of this activity. Patsy Ramsey said in an interview that this was just a few Sunday afternoons - no big deal. However as more information about this privileged family came out, it was obvious the pageant life was more than a hobby, a mother-daughter project. As the videos of JonBenet performing would reveal, this was more than your average six-year-old's pastime. It was a career in the making.
