JonBenet Ramsey's Dad, John, Remarries: Jan Rousseaux is 14 Years His Junior
July 27, 2011 08:50 AM EDT
JonBenet Ramsey's father, John, has remarried a woman much younger. It has been 5 years since his wife, Patsy, 49, died from ovarian cancer and 15 years since his daughter, JonBenet, 6, was found murdered in his former Boulder, CO home. He also had another daughter, Elizabeth, 22; died in 1992 from a car accident.
There's no denying that John Ramsey's life has been filled with sadness throughout the past few decades. Fortunately, it seems that may all be changing. John, 67, wed Jan Rousseaux, 53, on July 21, 2011. Ramsey and Rousseaux met through friends at a wedding in 2009. However, they remained purely friends until June of 2010.
John Ramsey stated that he felt his JonBenet would be happy for him. He said, "I have no doubt she will be smiling."
In a little shocking side news, John also admitted to having a short-lived romance with Natalie Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty! Wow, could it just be tortured souls finding solace in each other's arms? Probably since there's nothing like the bond a person feels once they've endured the same kinds of hardships. Congratulations to John Ramsey for keeping JonBenet in his heart as he moves on with his life.

Happiness at last for father of tragic beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey as he remarries to a Las Vegas fashion designer
Last updated at 5:32 PM on 27th July 2011
More than 15 years ago, the body of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was found in the basement of her family's Boulder, Colorado home.
Now, it seems the father of the girl dubbed Little Miss Sunshine has finally found happiness after the heartbreaking loss of his daughter and his late wife, Patsy.
John Ramsey, 67, married fashion designer Jan Rousseaux, 53, at a private ceremony in Charlevoix, Michigan on July 21.
2000 The wedding came five years after the death of his beloved wife Patsy from ovarian cancer in 2006, aged 49. Mr Ramsey also lost his 22-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, in a 1992 car accident.
In an interview with the National Enquirer, Mr Ramsey spoke about his fresh start.
He admitted he had a brief affair with Beth Twitty -the mother of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who vanished in Aruba in 2005. The relationship, he said, ended four years ago.
He then met Ms Rousseaux, a fashion designer who costumes stars for the stage in Las Vegas and Branson, Missouri, at a Denver wedding in 2009 -and they struck up a friendship.
Ms Rousseaux, who is divorced with two adult children, said it wasn't until the following June that she texted Mr Ramsey that she was thinking of him, and a relationship blossomed.
'Immediately he asked if he could come to see me, just as friends,' she said.
Soon, the couple began dating long distance.
'John made the seven-hour journey from Moab (Utah) to Vegas to see me every weekend after that. He never complained. It certainly got my attention, and that's how the relationship blossomed,' Ms Rousseaux said.
Last Valentine's Day, he proposed at a resort in Vero Beach, Florida.
'It was over breakfast. I told her I had something for her and then presented her with a single diamond ring,' he said.
The wedding was held in Charlevoix, at Castle Fams, where 70 guests including Mr Ramsey's other adult children were present.
It was in that same city JonBenet won the Little Miss Charlevoix crown in 1994.
He said of JonBenet -who would have turned 21 on August 6: 'Never a day goes by when I don't think about her. The saddest part is that her future was lost. We believe she is in a better place, and it is left to us to grieve for her. But I have no doubt she will be smiling.'
Mr Ramsey said his late wife, Patsy, would give her blessing. Mr Ramsey and his late wife wrote about the death of their daughter,JonBenet, in the book The Death of Innocence, and Mr Ramsey, who owned a computer software company, became a motivational speaker. He has run twice, unsuccessfully, for public office in Charlevoix.
He is currently completing another book set for release next year, entitled: The Other Side of Suffering: The Father of JonBenet Ramsey Tells the Story of His Journey from Grief to Grace.
Fifteen years after JonBenet was found dead in the family cellar, however, the riddle of her death remains unsolved.
The six-year-old had been sexually assaulted, and her bound and gagged body was discovered in the Boulder house on Boxing Day, 1996. The media coverage of JonBenet's death often focused on her participation in child beauty pageants and her parents' affluence, as well as questions regarding police handling of the case.
According to the evidence of mother, Patricia, she discovered her daughter was missing after finding a two-and-a-half-page ransom note on the kitchen staircase demanding $118,000 for her safe return -a figure that was almost the exact value of a bonus her husband had received earlier that year.
Despite specific instructions in the ransom note that police and friends not be contacted, she telephoned the police and called family and friends.
The local police conducted a cursory search of the house but did not find any obvious signs of a break-in or forced entry. The note suggested that the ransom collection would be monitored and JonBenet would be returned as soon as the money was obtained.
Mr Ramsey made arrangements for the ransom, which a friend picked up that morning from a local bank.
That afternoon Boulder Police Detective Linda Arndt asked Fleet White, a friend of the Ramseys, to take Mr Ramsey and another friend and search the house for 'anything unusual'.
Mr Ramsey and his friends started their search in the basement and, after first searching the bathroom and another room, the three of them went to a wine cellar room where Mr Ramsey found his daughter's body covered in her special white blanket.
She was also found with a nylon cord around her neck, her wrists tied above her head, and duct tape covering her mouth.
Investigators were immediately suspicious that the girl’s body was found in her own home in Boulder, Colorado, and said the parents were under an ‘umbrella of suspicion’.
Police initially worked on the theory that Mrs Ramsey had killed her daughter in a fit of rage after she wet her bed and that her husband –who as a former naval officer would have been able to tie the complicated knot around the girl’s neck –helped cover up the crime. Investigators suspected Mrs Ramsey had written the ransom note.
Another theory speculated that Mr Ramsey, a wealthy businessman, had murdered the girl to cover up sexual abuse. Despite his age, Burke also came under suspicion.
Mrs Ramsey said he had been asleep when she found the ransom note but there were reports that his voice could be heard in the background when his mother rang police.
Boulder police gave up the case in 2002, in part because of accusations that they had bungled the investigation by ruining evidence and concentrating solely on the Ramseys as suspects.
In 2008 -two years after Mrs Ramsey’s death from cancer -the Boulder County district attorney told the Ramseys they had been exonerated by the discovery of DNA traces of an unidentified male on the pyjamas worn by JonBenet on the night she died.
Prosecutors said the DNA was not from the Ramsey family and was almost definitely that of the killer.

WOW! I'm surprised he remarried.
I wonder what Beth Twitty thinks. She is 50, Jan Rousseaux is 53. But John Ramsey didn't want her, denied the affair.

I would have thought Beth and John had a lot more in common, but I guess it wasn't meant for them...

Might be.
I always see Beth Twitty as cold, disconnected, no real feelings, no emphases, no sympathy, no compassion ~ for others.

Good for him...I love it when people with so much sadness find some happiness. As for he and Beth's affair...not sure where you see he ever denied it?? Did I miss something?
I don't see Beth the same but we all have our right to our opinion. Thing is, unless we actually know a person...our opinion is just that. An opinion. For example, as sweet and lovely as his new wife is...she could be a cold person. No way to know and quite frankly...do we really need to know? I'm so glad for whatever happiness he can find.
What I do find interesting is that Jon Benet's brother wasn't mentioned.

Following the NH case for the past six years and seeing Beth Twitty's acts gives me enough reason for my previous post.
Here is an excerpt:
The father of murdered child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey and the mother of missing teen Natalee Holloway now appear to share something beyond their tragic circumstances – each other.
After reportedly having met at a fundraiser in Colorado last December, John Ramsey, 63, and Beth Holloway Twitty, 46,s are "friends," his attorney, Lin Wood, confirms to New York's Daily News.
"They share common interests and concerns related to their children, particularly with respect to the actions of law enforcement and the media in response to those tragic losses," according to Wood.
But it also appears they may be more than just friends. Though Ramsey lives in Michigan and Twitty in Mountain Brook, Ala., the two have been seen holding hands and kissing in her hometown, as well as attending art shows and eating in restaurants together.
On Monday, Ramsey downplayed the talk of a romance, telling Denver's Channel 9, according to the Denver Post: "The tabloid rumors are totally exaggerated. I have great respect for Beth and how she's handled her terrible situation. We've developed a friendship of respect and admiration."

So in other words it sounds like Ramsey was trying to be a gentleman and not "kiss and tell". Again...good for him! I'm surprised the tabloids didn't print Beth was pregnant with Ramsey's lovechild...lol. Anything for a headline!!

John Ramsay let Beth Twitty stand in the cold. Nothing "gentleman"-like about it. She declared publicly that they were dating, he denied it! 
That moment of delight is a measure of the healing that, ever so slowly, is transforming this devastated mother's life into something almost bearable. Twenty-nine months after Natalee disappeared, in a case that made international headlines, there are still no answers. With the lack of criminal charges freeing all prior suspects, the investigation has stalled. But Beth Holloway is moving on. Separated from second husband George Twitty since last December, she has a new home in the neighboring Birmingham, Ala., suburb of Homewood. She has written a memoir, Loving Natalee, that tracks her failed search and the long journey to acceptance that followed. And she has found love—with, of all people, a man also thrust into the spotlight by his daughter's tragic fate, JonBenét Ramsey's widowed father, John (see box). "We share the same philosophy," Beth explains. "We like positive thoughts and strong people."
http://www.people.com/people/archive/ar ... 13,00.html
A Surprising Romance
What attracted Beth Holloway to John Ramsey? "The sparkle in his eyes," she tells PEOPLE, confirming their relationship publicly for the first time. But Ramsey, 63, also inspires her. "John has had more than what, to me, any human spirit could endure, from the loss of his daughter to the loss of his wife. If I may be having a difficult day, I think, well, how could I say I'm having a difficult day if he's not? It kind of puts my little life in perspective. He's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit."
The duo's shared positive outlook overcomes the twin unsolved tragedies of Natalee's loss and JonBenét Ramsey's murder, at 6, in December 1996. Ramsey's wife, Patsy, died of ovarian cancer in June 2006. That fall, when Holloway's second marriage to George Twitty was ending, she and Ramsey met through a speaker's agency that represents them both. (Holloway and Twitty split in December 2006; the divorce was final last April.)
Despite distance—Holloway, 47, still resides in a suburb of Birmingham, Ala., while Ramsey, an author and business consultant, lives in Charlevoix, Mich.—they began dating last winter, taking in the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, restaurants and galleries in Holloway's hometown. "I draw strength from him," she says. "I've learned from him that no matter how much in disbelief you are of the things going on around you, you can still get through the most unimaginable journey." Do they have a future together? "We're taking it one day at a time," she says. "I don't have a crystal ball. You really don't ever know what's around the corner."

John Ramsey and Beth Holloway Twitty Are Dating
Monday, June 04, 2007
In a match seemingly made in tabloid heaven, the father of murdered child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey and the mother of missing-in-Aruba teen Natalee Holloway are dating, FOX News has confirmed.
John Ramsey, 63, and Beth Holloway Twitty, 46, have been romantically involved since January 2007, though the two met at a fundraiser last year.
The couple has been spotted openly holding hands and kissing in Mountain Brook, Ala. — where Twitty lives — and at an art show at a nearby art museum. They've also been seen at various restaurants.
Ramsey on Monday denied the reports that they are dating. He said that he and Twitty have a special friendship based on tragedy.
Ramsey's wife and JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, died last June of ovarian cancer at the age of 49. Twitty was officially divorced from George "Jug" Twitty in December.
