JonBenét Ramsey’s tragic death has remained unsolved since the 6-year-old pageant star was found murdered in her family’s basement during the 1996 holiday season. Despite the case being ruled a homicide, authorities still haven’t identified her killer.
Over the years, JonBenét’s parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, as well as her brother Burke Ramsey, have all been placed under intense scrutiny by both investigators and the public in the search for answers about her tragic death.

Burke Ramsey, now 37 years old, reportedly attended Purdue University and works as a software engineer. In addition to Burke, JonBenét had another older half-brother, John Andrew Ramsey, who is now 51.
In the years following JonBenét’s tragic death, Burke has spoken publicly about the intense media scrutiny and public attention he faced from adolescence into adulthood. He opened up during a 2016 interview with Dr. Phil, addressing various theories about his involvement. Burke firmly denied any involvement in striking his sister with a weapon. When asked why he was downstairs at the time of her death, he explained that he was simply playing with a toy. Burke was 9 years old at the time.
“Yeah, I had some toy that I wanted to put together. I remember being downstairs after everyone was in bed, wanting to get this thing out,” he explained, adding that he didn’t remember anything else. “I just remember being downstairs with this toy.”
28 years later, a source close to the Ramsey family revealed to Us Weekly ahead of the release of Netflix’s Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey on November 24, that Burke rarely discusses the case.
