S18 Ep34: Lou and Jon Benet: Searching For The Real Killer w/John Wesley Anderson
True Crime Tuesday presents Lou and Jon Benet: Searching For The Real Killer with Homicide Detective/Author John Wesley Anderson!
On Christmas Night 1996, six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. A ransom note was found in the home, but it was hours before her father, John, found her body in the basement. She had been strangled with a garrote and her skull was fractured.
The media sensationalized the tragic death of the “child beauty queen” and public speculation and rumors ran rampant.
Boulder police fixated on JonBenet’s parents as suspects. Needing investigative help, the Boulder DA brought in legendary homicide detective Lou Smit. However, he was soon disenchanted with law enforcement’s obsession with the Ramsey family as the primary suspects, excluding other possibilities.
Smit resigned but continued to work on his own time, and at his own expense, determined to find justice for JonBenet. He determined the Ramsey family was not involved in her death but died in 2010 before he could identify the killer.
The detective’s lifelong friend and colleague, John Anderson, along with a handful of retired detectives, and Smit’s family continue to pursue justice based on Smit’s work. John Anderson joins the show today to talk bout the case, Smit's work, the new developments, and what can be done to find the real killer!
