The murder of JonBenét Ramsey has been one of the most notorious unsolved cases in American history. The child pageant star, just six years old at the time of her death, was found in her family’s Boulder, Colorado, home on December 26, 1996, hours after her mother Patsy Ramsey had reported her missing.
A ransom note demanding $118,000 for her release was discovered in the house, but JonBenét’s body was found later that day in the basement. Her death was ruled a homicide caused by strangulation and blunt force trauma.
Over the years, the case has been marred by media speculation, public scrutiny, and a controversial investigation.
Despite initially suspecting her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and later her brother Burke, no charges were ever filed.
The family has consistently denied any involvement in the murder. In 2008, new DNA evidence led to the exoneration of the Ramseys, though the case remains open.
In 2024, the Netflix documentary Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, directed by Joe Berlinger, sheds new light on the investigation, focusing on the media’s role in shaping public opinion and examining the case with a fresh perspective.
The investigation continues to draw attention, and while some suspect a random intruder, no definitive answers have emerged.
Noel Edmonds, the British television presenter, was the first celebrity to be eliminated from the 2018 season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, much to his surprise.
Speaking to ITV’s Lorraine from a luxurious hotel poolside after his eviction, Edmonds expressed feeling “down” and “disappointed” by his early departure, admitting he had hoped to last longer in the jungle.

He joked that while it was initially hard to take, he quickly got over it, especially as he traded the challenging conditions of the camp for the comforts of a five-star hotel.
Edmonds, who entered the jungle three days after the other contestants, had promised to retire from television if he won the show.
Despite his exit after just nine days, he formed a close friendship with football manager Harry Redknapp, who was a fan favorite. Edmonds humorously referenced his quick exit, saying,
“As Harry Redknapp would say, the boy was hardly on the pitch and didn’t even get a yellow card—he got a straight red and was off.”
He expressed gratitude for the warmth shown by fans after his eviction and accepted that the public had spoken, acknowledging that his brief stint in the jungle wasn’t what he had hoped for.
Edmonds also addressed rumors of a feud with co-host Holly Willoughby and allegations of a rivalry with Ant and Dec, clarifying that there was no bad blood.

He confirmed his good relationship with both hosts and explained that any reports suggesting jealousy of Ant and Dec’s success were untrue.
After the show, Edmonds seemed to enjoy the luxuries of the hotel, relishing time with his wife, Liz, while relaxing by the pool in sunny weather.
