The Intruder Theory

Potential Suspect: Gary Olivia

• ⚠️ Gary Olivia, a convicted pedophile living in Boulder, was found with a magazine cutout of JonBenet Ramsey.
• 🚨 His high school friend alleged Olivia confessed to "hurting a little girl" and that the knots used in JonBenet's strangulation were similar to those Olivia used on his mother.
• ⚡ Experts noted that a stun gun, found with Olivia, might have been used to subdue the child.

Potential Suspect: Michael Helgoth

• 🕵️ Michael Helgoth, who had a property dispute with the Ramseys, was considered a suspect by the Ramsey's private investigator.
• 🔑 Helgoth's coworker reported his cruel behavior towards animals and a statement about cracking a skull, linking to autopsy findings.
