This theory, which emerged in 2014, posits that JonBenét’s death was faked and that she subsequently lived her life as Perry. Proponents of this idea often cite their physical similarities, particularly Perry’s naturally lighter hair, as supporting evidence. However, detractors point out that Perry is five years older than JonBenét would have been today. Recently, an AI-generated video depicting JonBenét’s image transforming into Perry has reignited this speculation, leading Perry to quip, “Wait am I.”
Additionally, the case has received renewed interest due to the Netflix documentary “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?” Her father, John Ramsey, remains optimistic that advancements in technology will eventually lead to the identification of her murderer. In 2024, a woman alleged that her husband was responsible for JonBenét’s death, and reports indicate that the FBI has profiled the suspect as a man in his 20s or 30s at the time, with a fascination for films. Although DNA evidence was collected, it has yet to be matched to any suspect.
