Little Miss Colorado Found Choked To Death

A 6-year-old girl, last year’s Little Miss Colorado, was found strangled in the basement of her home hours after her mother discovered a ransom note indicating she had been kidnapped.

Police were attempting to comply with the note’s instructions when a family member found JonBenet Ramsey’s body, which had been concealed.

John Eller, commander of the police detective division, said the ransom note demanded money and indicated there would be further instructions.

No suspects had been identified and Eller revealed few other details about the investigation. The girl’s body was found Thursday and an autopsy Friday found the girl had been choked to death.
