High-profile forensic psychiatrist, who raised suspicions about JonBenet Ramsey's family during her murder investigation, is shot dead outside his office
The forensic psychiatrist who assisted in the investigations into the death of American child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey has been shot dead outside his office.
Dr. Steven Pitt, 59, helped investigate the high profile 1996 murder case as well as a string of other killings in the Phoenix area more than a decade ago.
In JonBenet’s case Pitt believed the pineapple found in the six-year-old’s digestive tract, which her mother denied she ate, was proof of a family cover up.
He was leaving his office when witnesses say they heard a loud argument then gunfire as he was shot on Thursday.
Police have a sketch of a suspect in the homicide case of well-known forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Steven Pitt, who was shot and killed outside his home last night.
