Father to ask judge to declare missing boy dead

By The Associated Press  Story Published: Jan 25, 2011 at 10:09 AM MST Story Updated: Jan 25, 2011 at 10:09 AM MST

GREAT FALLS - The father of a Great Falls child who disappeared 15 years ago plans to ask a judge to declare the boy dead.

Ten-year-old Zachary Ramsay was last seen Feb. 6, 1996. Investigators accused Nathaniel Bar-Jonah of killing and cannibalizing the boy after investigators found bone fragments buried in the dirt floor of the man's garage.

But prosecutors dropped the case when Ramsay's mother, Rachel Howard, said she planned to testify that she believed her son was alive.

Ramsay's father, Franz Ramsay, has requested a court on Wednesday to declare the boy dead because he wants closure for the family. He and Howard divorced just before Zachary Ramsay turned 2.

Attorney Ken Olson tells the Great Falls Tribune that Ramsay is convinced his son is dead.

Zachary Ramsay declared "legally deceased"

Posted: Jan 26, 2011 12:13 PM by Heath Heggem (Great Falls)  Updated: Jan 26, 2011 7:03 PM

Zachary Ramsay, the Great Falls boy who was reported missing in 1996, was declared legally deceased on Wednesday.

The parents of Zachary testified in a Great Falls courtroom on Wednesday.

Testifying via video from the East coast, father Franz Ramsay was seeking to have Zachary declared legally dead.

Ramsay's father now lives in Washington, DC; a life insurance policy he had on Zachary cannot be collected until the death is legally declared.

Zachary's mother, Rachel Howard, disputes her ex-husband's assertion and believes her son is still alive. She told the court on Wednesday, "My son's alive and I'm going to find him."

The ruling was made by Judge Kenneth Neill.

The disappearance of Zachary has been a mystery in Great Falls since February 6th, 1996, when 10-year old Zachary disappeared on his way to school.

Despite no physical evidence, convicted criminal Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was set to stand trial for Ramsay's murder in 2002, but Ramsay's mother refused to testify, insisting that her son was still alive.
