In hindsight, Beckner said the crime scene was not properly handled because police were understaffed over the holidays.
JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, called 911 on Dec. 26, 1996, to report her daughter missing from the family's upscale home.
A ransom note claiming the girl had been kidnapped was also found, yet hours later, police found her body in the home's basement.

John and Patsy Ramsey should also have been questioned separately immediately during the investigation, he said.
