In the episode titled “Pageant Pedophiles,” we hear from none other than JonBenét’s dad, John Ramsey. His words carry a weight that only someone who’s lived through this kind of tragedy can truly understand.
“JonBenét was such a vibrant, outgoing little girl. She loved the pageants. But looking back, I realize we were naive. We thought the people in the audience were just family members, but that wasn’t the full picture,” John Ramsey reflects, his voice heavy with the weight of hindsight.
Uncovering the Dark Side of Child Beauty Pageants
Author Joyce Singular, who co-authored Presumed Guilty: An Investigation Into the JonBenét Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of Pornography, shares her insights with the podcast. She reveals how her investigation into the pageant world uncovered disturbing truths.
“When we started digging into the child beauty pageant scene, we found something unsettling. We went to Boulder and spoke to other parents whose kids participated in the same pageants as JonBenét. Many of them had concerns about people lurking around these events,” Singular explains.
“What we uncovered was alarming. There’s a whole underground world surrounding these pageants. You might think you’re just having fun dressing up your child, but you could inadvertently attract predators. These people could be sponsors, judges, or even spectators,” she warns.
A Tragic Morning in December
On the morning of December 26, 1996, tragedy struck the Ramsey family. JonBenét’s mother, Patsy, found a ransom note demanding $118,000 for the return of her daughter. The note was just the beginning of a nightmare that would unravel the family’s life.

“In a state of shock, Patsy searched the empty bedroom and called 911. By the time the police arrived, the house was overrun with family and friends, contaminating the crime scene. Later that day, JonBenét’s body was discovered,” the podcast recounts, painting a vivid picture of the chaos and despair that unfolded.
