This evil monster has confessed that he strangled the child beauty queen – 22 years after her brutal murder shocked the world
Her parents John and Patsy Ramsey and her brother Burke lived under a cloud of suspicion for years, before finally being “completely cleared” in 2008, after police revealed 1600 people were being investigated as persons of interest in her murder.
But in a shock twist, self-confessed “deranged pervert” and jailed paedophile Gary Howard Oliva, 54, has confessed to the terrible murder, sending a childhood friend 15 disturbing letters detailing his involvement in the chilling crime.
“Gary’s account of the murder is actually one of the most logical explanations I have heard in 20-plus years,” reveals childhood friend Michael Vail, who says the registered sex offender called him after the murder to admit he’d done something “horrible” to a child.
PRIME SUSPECT
He has also previously admitted to being near the crime scene when JonBenet died on December 25 or 26, 1996, has a well-documented obsession with the beauty queen and was identified as a prime suspect by an investigator hired by her father John.
