  • The conspiracy theory, which originated in 2014, falsely claims that Ramsey's 1996 murder was staged and that Perry is the grown-up version of the child beauty queen.
  • AI-generated content has reignited interest in the theory, despite its implausibility due to significant age differences between Perry and Ramsey.
  • The unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey remains a focus of ongoing investigations, with recent efforts by the Boulder Police Department and her father, John Ramsey, to reexamine evidence.
  • The renewed attention highlights broader issues, including the ethics of blending real-life tragedies with viral entertainment and the role of AI in spreading misinformation.
