John Ramsey believes his daughter's murder could be connected to an assault on a girl who attended the same dance studio. Authorities have yet to solve JonBenet's 1996 murder.
JonBenet Ramsey's father, John Ramsey, believes his daughter's unsolved 1996 murder case may have possible ties to a separate, unsolved 1997 assault case involving a victim who attended the same dance studio as JonBenet.

'My feeling is he got into the house while they were out and hid inside the house, so he would have been in there for perhaps four to six hours, hiding,' the victim's father told 48 Hours at the time. The victim's father himself noted similarities to the Ramsey cas
