It is the day after Christmas 1996 and a veteran FBI agent named Ron Walker stands inside a crime scene that does not add up. Walker works out of the Bureau's Denver Field Office, one of the only federal agents to set foot inside the Ramsey home the day JonBenét's body is found. Standing inside the house on 15th Street, with the Christmas trees still up and JonBenét's body lying at the foot of it, he considers the events of that morning.
The ransom note, a stolen child, the 911 call, the long wait for the kidnapper's call, the father who walks straight down to a basement room and comes back up screaming, his dead child in his arms. The main floor is empty, but agent Walker can hear the mother sobbing at the rear of the Ramsey house. He keeps walking the rooms. To a man who has worked cases like this many times before, the setup feels very familiar.

Virtually every stage murder case that I have seen, the perpetrator manipulates the arrival of friends or other family members, who are then put in a situation where they actually discover the body, or they are with the perpetrator as the body is discovered.

At 5.52 that morning, this was a kidnapping. By 1.05 in the afternoon, it is something else entirely. There is no kidnapper. There is no call. There is a murdered six-year-old girl in the basement of an upscale home, and only a handful of people who are inside the house all night.
The question is no longer who took JonBenét out of the house on Christmas night. The question is, who was already inside?

Agent Ron Walker brings the FBI's playbook with him, and the playbook is old and blunt. When a child is killed inside her own home, investigators start with the people who are in the home and work outward. It's not insensitivity, it's math. FBI data going back decades suggests that the younger a child is when murdered, the more likely that a family member is involved. From almost the first hours, the eyes of the Boulder Police Department turn toward John and Patsy Ramsey. The trouble with that playbook is that a statistic is a starting point, not a finish line. Investigators can lock on to a suspect early and let the theory start bending the evidence to fit. Instead of the other way around. Walker's Denver Bureau offers Boulder its full weight, its labs, its profilers, its experience with exactly this kind of murder. But Boulder Police, a department that sees roughly one homicide per year, passes on the help. The most complicated child killing in America will be worked almost entirely by a department with virtually no experience solving homicides, not by federal investigators.
