In the article there is a quote that made my jaw-drop. The summer camp confirmed that a commitment had been made (the date that commitment was made however, is vague). An article on the subject was published in a Michigan based newspaper. A check was eventually given to the camp on May 27th. Patsy rambled about a donation made in JonBenet's name to a summer camp. Well, not so much asked, more like a verbal slap in the form of a question. Tricia Griffiths, owner of Forums For Justice and Websleuths, called in under a false name and asked about the Foundation, and the Wolf v. If he had won the primary he would have been a congressman) bid for a congressional seat in Michigan, and there was a period on that show where they were accepting questions from people calling in. I think it came down to around 500 votes. On May 12th, 2004 The Ramseys made an appearance on Larry King Live during John's (failed, but it was uncomfortably close.

Did it go to legal bills or did it go into their pockets? Yet, little to none of it appears to have gone to the foundation. So, you're telling me that despite an interview with Barbara Walters that according to this wiki page where John and Patsy are on the same list with names like Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, Bill and Hillary Clinton etc and during that highly-rated interview their book is mentioned and it was released, I think, the same week that interview aired in March of 2000. The tax documents available (1997-2000, from what I have seen) seem to suggest that little to none of the money from that book made it into the Foundation. The hardcover version of the book states: "Proceeds from the sale of The Death of Innocence will go to legal fees AND the JonBenet Ramsey Children's Foundation." The legal defense fund aspect that Steve Thomas mentioned, I looked into a little further. The charity the proceeds were supposed to go to was a charity run by Patsy (President of the Foundation) and John (Vice-President). However, Steve Thomas forgot to point out what John Ramsey seemed to purposefully neglect to mention. Thomas mentioned that they had also stated it was going to a "legal defense fund" which had me intrigued. John states that it's going to "charity". John ripped Steve Thomas on Larry King for writing a book calling him a profiteer and "making money off our tragedy" and when Thomas said that John and Patsy wrote a book and took money for the book. I bought a used copy of their book on ebay (mass market paperback edition), The Death of Innocence, out of curiosity and noticed on the back of the book it said "Authors' Proceeds From The Sale Of This Book Will Go to the JonBenet Children's Foundation". According to John and Patsy, they were so broken up over the death of their daughter they couldn't "exist" after 6:00 pm yet they could form a charity in her name? John and Patsy still hadn't been formally interviewed by police at this time. As I continued to read it, the more and more repulsed I became with each passing sentence.Īrticles of Incorporation were filed on April 1st, 1997. Unless it's something work-related, a conflict with a friend or family, or something political, he doesn't usually lose his cool over something so openly. My partner knows business fairly well, and he knows this case, so I asked him about this, and showed him the webpage. I hadn't even read the entirety of that webpage at the point. I knew what a foundation was of course, but I needed a little more information to confirm whether or not I was on the right track in my thinking that this whole thing seemed unbelievably shady. years ago while I was just exploring the site. I stumbled upon ACandyRose's page about this subject by sheer accident. What was the JonBenet Ramsey Children’s Foundation?
