JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect arrested in Bangkok, Thailand; Boulder County DA Investigator bringing alleged killer back to Colorado.

The man arrested in Thailand, a 41-year-old second-grade teacher from Conyers, Ga., will be brought back to the United States this weekend. He has confessed to certain elements involved in the brutal murder of 6-year-old pageant princess JonBenet Ramsey. Her beaten and strangled body was found in the basement of the family home the day after Christmas in 1996.

The confession of the unknown man apparently includes information that was never released to the public. He was being held in Bangkok on unrelated sex charges when the Boulder County DA Investigator arrested him.

For nearly ten years the crime had gone unsolved and with virtually no leads. JonBenet’s parents had been the focus of investigation for an extended period of time. Both her father John and mother Patsy were targeted by media outlets as the probable perpetrators and rarely a week past without their face being splashed across a tabloid.

Patsy Ramsey died June 24th after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She was buried next to her daughter in a cemetery in Marietta, Georgia.

Lin Wood, a family attorney for the Ramsey’s revealed that the family had been notified about the suspect almost a month before Patsy past away. Wood went on to say how taxing the past decade has been for the family “It's been a very long 10 years, and I'm just sorry Patsy isn't here for me to hug her neck,”

Hal Haddon who has also been an attorney for the Ramsey family commented, “It is our hope that this arrest will bring some closure to the Ramsey family after a 10-year ordeal.” Commenting on the Boulder County officers that continued pressing for answers Haddon said, “The diligent investigation of Jon Benet Ramsey's murder by Boulder D.A. Lacey and detectives working with her has been extraordinary.”
