About the book
The Last Christmas of Jon Benet Ramsey authored by Psychologist Laurence Smith, examines a murderous American tragedy of a sparkling little girl on a snowy Christmas night of 1996 in Boulder, Colorado. Author Smith, believed that this murder could only be explained by a Psychologist having criminal insight into the aberrations of the murderer's mind. After showing the various scenarios required for various pathology types of criminals to have committed this murder, Psychologist Smith explains in great detail the circumstances surrounding Jon Benet's death, along with the killer's mindset that results in the elaborate staging of the crime, that was designed to project the murder onto some sexual predator type criminal. In the process he names who the actual killer is. A very detailed psycho-linguistic analysis by the author, of the ransom letter written by the killer, serves to solidify Psychologist Laurence Smith's conclusive finding.
