Ramseys say killer obsessed with crime movies
JonBenet Ramsey’s killer was obsessed with crime movies and quoted lines from Ran Dirty Harry in a ransom note. The family plans a Boulder Daily Camera ad and neighborhood fliers as they search for their daughter. JonBenet, a six year old beauty queen, was found beaten and strangled December 26, eight hours after her mother found the ransom note demanding 118000 dollars. No arrests have been made, though DA Alex Hunter says the Ramseys are a focus of the inquiry.
