JonBenét Ramsey — the six-year-old beauty queen fatally strangled in her Boulder, Co,. home in 1996 — inspired a bombshell letter penned by a creep suspected in her murder and obtained by The National ENQUIRER! Currently rotting behind bars in Colorado for a series of sex assaults, Keith Schwinaman was targeted by investigators after his wife, Heather Kubes, confessed she could not account for his whereabouts the night of JonBenét’s murder. But breaking his silence after 15 years, Schwinaman blasted Heather’s insinuations that he was the killer in one of America’s most infamous cold cases — crying that he didn’t do it.

In his letter, Schwinaman admitted, “I was living in the area and committing crimes around the same time,” but insisted he did not kill JonBenét. A year before her murder, Schwinaman had been hit with a four-year deferred sentence after pleading guilty to one count of sexual assault on a child.

Then, in 2003, he agreed to serve a 32-year sentence for attacking three women in the ’90s — crimes which bore similarities to JonBenét’s case, said retired Boulder detective Bob Whitson. "What we didn’t have was physical evidence.”

Authorities tested his DNA while investigating another case, but it did not match
evidence found on JonBenét’s body. Still, Whitson pointed out Schwinaman — who’s eligible for parole in November — “always wore gloves while committing his crimes.”
