The Internet is buzzing with a new conspiracy theory: is Katy Perry actually JonBenét Ramsey?
Ramsey — a 6-year-old girl from Boulder, Colo. — was found strangled in the basement of her family home in 1996, but to this day, the case remains unsolved. For some reason, this has fueled speculation that the pre-teen beauty queen’s death was actually faked, and she instead grew up to be famed pop star Katy Perry.
A YouTube video of the conspiracy was posted back in December 2014 by Dave Johnson, but recently started getting attention.
IS TED CRUZ THE ZODIAC KILLER?
“JonBenét Ramsey did not die, nobody died, nobody got hurt,” Johnson says in the video. "But she was sacrificed: That sacrifice was in name only, and that sacrifice was to get something, and that something was to become a star.”

Conspiracy theorists claim, JonBenet Ramsey (L) - who was found dead in the basement of her family's home in Boulder, Colo. in 1996 - actually grew up to be pop star Katy Perry(R).
“JonBenét Ramsey became Katy Perry. That's a fact," he added. “So if any of you continue to lie about this person dying, you are in fact a false witness to murder and death.”
Throughout the video, Johnson provides pieces of evidences he believes will back his theory. For one, he states that Perry's parents, pastors Keith Hudson and Mary Perry, look eerily similar to Ramsey's parents, Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey.
Patsy Ramsey died of cancer in 2006.
Another YouTube user, Jungle Surfer, posted their own take on the parents' looks, even pointing out their eyebrow shape, in a seperate conspiracy video.
“You're born with your eyebrows,” Jungle Surfer said. “They're very close, very close indeed, aren't they? … As you know, this whole entertainment industry is just a charade — you really don't know the truth.”
Johnson claims that Perry, 31, had been in hiding since the news of the murder case broke in 1996 until she rose to fame for her single “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008.

Twitter user Ryan Witalison was quick to point that the math doesn’t add up.
“Apparently some believe Katy Perry is really JonBenét Ramsey, despite being born 6 years before Ramsey. Too many crazy people in this world,” he tweeted on Friday .
In the YouTube video posted by Johnson, a photo of young Ramsey slowly transitions into a recent photo of Perry, pointing out their strikingly similar facial features.
The video has more than 180,000 views with a follow-up garnering more than 12,000 hits.
The theory comes on the heels of the Internet buzzing over whether or not presidential candidate Ted Cruz is in fact the Zodiac Killer.
“Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer. Katy Perry is actually JonBenet Ramsey,” Twitter user Justin Prochaska wrote . “The Internet is teaching me so much.”
