Do you remember the wishes she made, when she blew out her last birthday cake? She wanted to ride a pony when she's big enough, and she wanted to marry her daddy when she's all grown up.

From whom I speak? We all know her name. Just one day made her more famous than all the entire Little Miss competitions and pageants put together. She was extraordinarily beautiful for such a young child.

Show meant everything to her family, no matter where you were or what you did, you were always on show, everyday a performance, every moment an opportunity to present herself as a future Miss America.

In many minds, she might still be considered a baby. The family had a lovely vacation home, and she competed in the local Little Miss on her summer vacation, singing a patriotic song for the Fourth of July. The last year of her life she was crowned, Colorado’s “Little Miss Christmas” and gave a special performance at her elementary school for every class. She sang and danced all day and was, undoubtedly, exhausted from the long hours of performing. That next summer, she was to participate in the Junior Miss Hawaiian Tropic Competition in Hawaii.

But she was still a little girl, no matter how she was pushed to be a Little Miss America. She loved fresh fruit, loved to swing and play jump rope, like most other girls. But playing dress up was never a game for her, she had to do enough dressing up and being made to look like a child glamour queen, to make that activity a fun game. She loved the outdoors and sailing on her Daddy’s speedboat, swimming, tree climbing, playing on the tire swing in the back yard of their vacation home in Michigan. She was given anything and everything she wanted and was loved dearly by a large and close knit family.

Her name? JonBenet Ramsey.

Her little body, just six years old, was found strangled in the basement of her family home the day after Christmas...
