Details of the autopsy:

An autopsy of the body of Jonbenet Ramsey was conducted on 12/26/96 by Dr John Meyer, Boulder County Medical Examiner, and witnessed by Detective Linda Arndt of the Boulder Police Department. Dr Meyer told Arndt that JBR had injuries consistent with prior digital penetration of her vagina. Meyer later returned to the morgue with Dr Andrew Sirontak, Chief of Denver Children's Hospital Child Protection Team, who also examined the body and found the hymen "shriveled and retracted", among other old injuries to her vagina, and agreed that JBR had been sexually abused prior to the night of her death.

They observed, among other chronic injuries, a hymen that had been eroded over time and a vaginal opening twice normal size for a six year old. All stated they observed "evidence of both acute injury and chronic sexual abuse". Dr Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist, in a separate assessment, concurred.

JBR was taken to her pediatrician TWENTY-SEVEN times in THREE years. Five of those visits were for vaginitis, but Dr Beuf had never performed an internal exam. On 12/17/96 Patsy Ramsey called Dr Beuf's office three times between 5:00-6:00 PM. Eight days later, Jonbenet was dead. I do not believe an experienced mother of two would make three after hours calls in sixty minutes to her child's pediatrician for a routine cold or sore throat. I do believe it likely that JBR had yet another vaginal infection, and Patsy had finally become alarmed and was demanding answers - answers that could only be determined by a full pelvic exam, information Patsy would have shared with her husband.
