Here's What Dr Phil Made Of JonBenét Ramsey's "Socially Awkward" Brother Burke
Dr Phil has shared his impression of JonBenét Ramsey’s older brother Burke, calling the now 29year-old “socially awkward” with an “unusual affect”. In the almost twenty years that have passed since the unsolved death of six-year-old JonBenét, who was found strangled to death at her family’s home in 1996, suspicion has consistently fallen on her family and friends – in particular Burke and his parents.
Burke, who was nine years old at the time and has never previously discussed the case publicly, will break his silence in an upcoming interview with Dr Phil.
“This is a very socially awkward young man,” Dr Phil told the TODAY Show’s Savannah Guthrie, describing Burke’s smiling and laughter throughout the interview as “a really unusual affect… But understand, from the time this happened, his parents, depending on your interpretation, either protected him or hid him… he has not had the social contact that most kids have growing up.”

During the interview, Burke will discuss several key pieces of evidence and ongoing mysteries around the case: “He’s gonna make a shocking admission about this mystery footprint [at the scene] that people speculate about… he’s going to talk about the incidents of violence, of hitting his sister in the head earlier with a golf club.”
Burke will also discuss the recently-ingested pineapple that was found in JonBenét’s stomach upon autopsy – the presence of which could not be accounted for by her parents’ timeline of events on the night of her murder: “He’s going to talk very specifically about how that pineapple came to be in his little sister’s stomach the night that she was found dead.”
Ramsey’s interview with Dr Phil will air in three parts, beginning this evening (September 12) and continuing on Tuesday, September 13 and next Monday, September 19.
JonBenét’s murder will be explored in a series of TV projects this fall, including CBS’s six-hour docuseries The Case Of… JonBenét Ramsey and Lifetime’s scripted movie, Who Killed JonBenét?
