Reasonable conspiracy theory claims that Katy Perry is JonBénet Ramsey
Everyone thought JonBénet Ramsey was dead -- but one random man on YouTube begs to differ.
In a video, published in 2014 but gone viral in the past 24 hours, YouTuber Dave Johnson poses a powerful theory. Pop sensation Katy Perry isn't who you think she is, Johnson claims. She's actually just the adult version of the infamous, presumably dead, child model.

Oh, okay.
Johnson claims that Ramsey's parents staged her death so that she could grow up to become a star. Why they'd need to do that, or how that was even possible, is completely irrelevant. If you don't have faith in Johnson's theory, your fate is sealed and doomed.
"JonBénet Ramsey became Katy Perry. That’s a fact,” Johnson continued. “So if any of you continue to lie about this person dying, you are a false witness to murder. That’s a fact."
Johnson grounds his theory in several very subtle pieces of evidence:
The family's faces appear to be the same (just look at the mashup)
There was a strong financial motive involved
Anyone who disagrees with him is a "false death liar" who is going to "burn... for it."
Katy Perry (or JonBénet?) seems to have already responded to the accusation in her song "Dark Horse (Remix)": "No worry about where I'm from, Just know one thing: I'M AMAZING!"
