Episode 337: 13yr old Girl & 45yr old Housekeeper KILLED In Locked House - Police Suspects “Secret Affair”

---

“I can’t let you in…”

The housekeeper was confused - what does the mom mean she can’t let me in?

“Could you just toss the keys from your balcony?”

The mother threw her keys from the balcony and vanished into the house. The housekeeper walked into the house and it was immediately chaos. The mother was hysterical - the father was banging his head on the wall.

The mother threw her arms around the housekeeper. She cried and ushered her to a bedroom, “Come, come, inside and see what happened!”

Lying in her bed was the family’s 13 year old daughter, dead. Her throat slit ear to ear. Her body looked posed and so were her stuffed animals, though they were eerily free of any blood or splatter. This case would become known as the JonBenét Ramsey case of India.

Rumors of cheating, black mail, revenge, honor killings, truth serum, grooming and orgies consumed the media but the only thing we know for certain is - whoever her killer or killers are – they are free.
