When John Ramsey wakes each morning his first thought is of his murdered daughter, JonBenét.
It was John who found the 6-year-old's lifeless body in the basement of the family home in Boulder, Colorado on December 26, 1996. Duct tape was over her mouth and a cord wrapped around her neck.
For John, his wife Patsy and their son Burke, life was never the same.
John says time has stood still over the last two and a half decades. Since losing JonBenét, he no longer allows himself to feel carefree or happy.
"I met a mother who lost a child, and she told me, 'You know, I feel like I have a hole in my heart, and it won't heal," John shared. "And it doesn't, you don't get over it.
The Ramsey family home became a horrific crime scene.
"You move on but you're a different person... I saw a little girl who was about JonBenét's age holding her dad's hand walking down the street the other day, and that put a lump in my throat."
Now, 26 years on from JonBenét's death, John is still desperate for answers about what happened to his little girl and why.
