   This is the first case that I can remember that really tugged at the worlds heart strings. How or why would someone kill such A beautiful little girl with so much talent? Was it due to Jealousy? Hatred? 16 years later still no answers.
  I believe the only way this case will ever be solved is if the killer walks into the police station and tells them "I am the one that killed JonBenet."
   So many people were jealous and I am sure hated JonBenet. She won just about every pageant she entered. Which makes for A large suspect pool. I am sure there were also family members upset about the time that Patsy spent with her daughter. The cost of the pageants and the bragging of all the wins. And then you have the possibility of A pervert that admired her for her beauty. Or just A total stranger that did it just because.

   Patsy died of cancer without the knowledge that she and her husband were both cleared as suspects.  As friends and family mourned the death of Patsy. I am sure she was very happy to once again be with her daughter.
   So many things in the case were botched by police, investigators etc. I have read the book "Who Killed JonBenet" And all the same questions still remain. If you have any information or recall anything about that evening please call the proper authorities.

                            MY OWN PERSONAL TAKE ON PAGEANTS AND STUDIOS

I am A mom of 2 girls that for many years modeled, took baton, jazz, pom-pom and acrobats.With the right teacher and the right studio competing can be healthy. It teaches self-esteem, manners, how to get along with others and how to work with others. It will also teach the child how to win with grace and how to lose gracefully. Not all pageants are like the ones you see on Toddlers and Tiara's. With the fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake fingernails, fake tans and the meanness of the parents.  And not studios are like the Abby Lane in Dance Moms show. Abby is just down right mean. And to pin the kids against each other is just uncalled for. And the way the moms sit up in that room and are rude to each other, call each other names and belittle each others kids is just down right awful..
  The studio we belonged to was like one big family. No matter if this was your childs first year there or have been there for 10 years all the kids are treated equal. All the moms have their own talents too, we loaned each other dresses, helped with outfits, costumes, make up, hair, travel to and from practice or to and from competitions.  All the kids no matter what level you were from special beginner to elite practiced in the same gym all together when getting ready for a competition. Many of the advanced girls even taught the younger ones that were just starting out. The kids that competed against each other were very good friends. Had sleep overs, went to the mall together,etc.  everything A normal child does. All of our kids are now all grown up. Some are married some with kids of their own and some moved across the US. But we still stay in touch via Facebook. The only thing i dont miss are the long drives to competitions and the 8 AM floor call. And i DO NOT miss listening to John Phillip Suza  (spelling) Stars And Stripes For Ever. But i do miss seeing the girls.
