BOULDER, Colo. - Most Americans knew JonBenet Ramsey only in death - as the blonde-haired little girl in the ruffled pink cowgirl outfit, bouncing across the stage with a million-dollar smile.
"I want to be a cowboy sweetheart," she sang, with a white hat atop her moussed, golden curls.
The performance captured on video was played around the world after the 6-year-old beauty pageant competitor was found strangled and beaten on Dec. 26, 1996. The images persisted on TV talk shows for years afterward, helping feed theories about her killer.
On Wednesday, authorities in Thailand arrested a man suspected in her slaying. The district attorney disclosed no details, but the Ramsey family's attorney in Atlanta said the suspect was a schoolteacher who once lived in nearby Conyers, Ga. The family attorney, Lin Wood, refused to say if the Ramseys knew him.
JonBenet was born in Atlanta on Aug. 6, 1990, to John Bennett Ramsey, a successful business executive, and his second wife, Patsy, a onetime Miss West Virginia. The family lived in the suburb of Dunwoody for several years before moving to Colorado in 1991. The couple moved back to Atlanta after their daughter's slaying.
