In Colorado, it has all the makings of a classic murder mystery, a ransom note, a dead body, strange twists and turns.

**Megyn Kelly** (1:30)
For nearly 30 years, the murder of JonBenét Ramsey has haunted America, not just because she was a beautiful six-year-old girl, not just because she was found dead inside her own home the day after Christmas, but because almost every piece of this case seems to point in two directions at once. Was there an intruder or was the fan the infob?

**John Ramsey** (1:53)
I did not kill my daughter, JonBenét.

**Patsy Ramsey** (1:55)
What parent would ever strangle their own child?

**Megyn Kelly** (1:59)
Over the next five episodes, we will go back to the beginning of the JonBenét Ramsey case, and we'll be back every day for the next eight weeks with many more cases. This is true crime like you've never heard it before. This is MK Confidential.
There have been suspects, confessions, theories, explosive accusations, and more TV documentaries on JonBenét Ramsey than we can count. But underneath all of that noise is the story of a six-year-old girl whose death became a national obsession.
To much of America, JonBenét first appeared not as a child, but as a pageant image. Big hair, makeup, sequined costumes, a practice smile beneath the stage lights. Her mother Patsy had been a pageant queen herself, Miss West Virginia, and JonBenét was following in her footsteps. After her death, the videos played over and over on a loop. JonBenét waving from a parade float, JonBenét singing in a sparkling outfit. Those images fascinated the country and in some ways distorted the case. Right from the start, because the pageant girl America saw on TV was only one version of this little girl. She was also a kindergartner, a daughter, a little sister, a six-year-old kid who played with friends and loved to perform.

**John Ramsey** (3:24)
She just had this effervescent personality, just like Patsy. I mean, just ta-da, here I am, you know.

**Megyn Kelly** (3:31)
That Christmas, she asked her father for one more turn on her brand new bike.

**John Ramsey** (3:36)
She wanted to keep riding her bike and I said, well, we'll do it later. Of course, there was no later.

**Megyn Kelly** (3:44)
Within days of her killing, JonBenét was no longer simply a murdered child. She'd become a symbol, the child beauty queen, the little girl in makeup, the face on every supermarket tabloid and television screen in America. While the country argued over her parents and her pageants and her family's private life, the most important fact remained unchanged. Someone had killed her.

**John Ramsey** (4:10)
Someone killed this six-year-old child. We know that.

**Megyn Kelly** (4:15)
This is the story of a murdered child and the family, the police, the lawyers and community forever changed by what happened inside that house.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:25)
She did mean something in this world.

We wouldn't be celebrating America 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set by the framers. Hamilton built America's financial foundation on the principle of sound, stable money, a principle later embodied by the gold standard. However, we abandoned that discipline in 1971 and have seen inflation erode the dollar's value ever since. What's the foundation of your savings? Is it gold? Is gold even in there?
