Mistaken Sighting of John Andrew Ramsey
In a newspaper interview two days after the crime John Andrew gave the following statement:


 * "I didn't see a lot of people over there Christmas Day," said Barnhill [...] "I didn't see JonBenet with her bike, but I did see (her 10-year-old brother) Burke ride his bike down the lawn there." Barnhill also said he saw John Ramsey's son from a previous marriage, a student at CU, come to the house.

John Andrew Ramsey was not at the Ramsey house that day - he was in Atlanta. When questioned on this matter, Barnhill "sheepishly" informed police that he did not actually know what John Andrew looked like.
