A Voice For JonBenét

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves" -Proverbs 31:8-10 ♡ Dedicated to a little girl who never knew my name. I will never forget hers. Once upon a time there was a little girl named JonBenét Ramsey. She entered this world on a warm summer night, bringing love and joy to everyone she met. But it was not to last. On a cold Christmas night, six years later, the little girl’s life was brutally cut short. After having the time of her life opening presents, sometimes during the night of December 25, 1996, JonBenét Ramsey was the victim of an homicide. The horrific and strange details surrounding the murder of a six-year-old beauty queen murdered in her own home created a media circus. But the real JonBenét, the innocent child who once asked if roses knew their thorns could hurt, was lost behind the images of her all dolled-up in pageants. JonBenét’s voice was silenced, now I am using mine to tell the truth about her story. To remember the child lost behind the headlines. And to seek justice. Because 22 years later, no one has spent a day in jail for taking the life of this 6-year-old little girl. “Shoes, shoes, shoes, who will stand in the victim’s shoes?” -Lou Smit, detective on the case.
