Phoenix • A forensic psychiatrist who assisted in the investigations into the 1996 death of JonBenet Ramsey in Colorado and a string of killings in Phoenix more than a decade ago was fatally shot outside his Arizona office.
Witnesses heard a loud argument and gunfire Thursday outside Dr. Steven Pitt’s office in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale, police say.
Phoenix police Sgt. Vince Lewis says he had no information on whether the killing was connected to the 59-year-old Pitt’s work. Investigators released a sketch of the suspect who fled the scene.
Pitt assisted in the investigation into the death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, a beauty pageant star who was found dead at her family’s home in Boulder.
