Live: JonBenet Ramsey: The Ransom note w/ Julia Cowely

In this episode of Santana True Crime, I’m joined by Julia Cowley, former FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit member and host of The Consult, to discuss the JonBenét Ramsey case with a focused look at one of its most debated pieces of evidence: the ransom note. Rather than rehashing the entire case, we examine the language, tone, length, and placement of the note—and what those elements may suggest from a behavioral perspective. We discuss why the note stands out in kidnapping cases, how investigators often interpret such communications, and what clues (or misdirection) the note may offer about the person who wrote it. This conversation centers on behavioral insight and investigative context—not speculation—and explores why the ransom note continues to play a central role in understanding this case decades later.
