History[]
As mentioned by Anne Gillette, Ramsey hails from a very aristocratic family that lives in London. He was said to not have spoken to his parents in years for reasons unknown. Ramsey's investigation of Anne, the SFU's prime suspect in the murder of her wealthy parents, came at the request of One Police Plaza and the Mayor.
According to Ramsey, Anne had expensive tastes as she spent through her trust fund from her parents and she had stolen $3,500,000 from a charitable organization called the Prestwick Foundation. Ramsey suspected that Anne killed her parents for the money, since she was their sole heir to their estate, worth over $200,000,000. Anne had unsuccessfully tried out three times for the Olympic equestrian team, evaded paying taxes for five years when she opened an art gallery, been privately sued various times for her work as an interior designer and was on the foundation because her father donated $10,000,000. She was kicked out of three prep schools, and she finally graduated from a girl's finishing school in Switzerland, where she received credit for flower arrangement. She had stolen the $3,500,000 from the Prestwick Foundation, she had made donations to recipients, which turned out to be for her and went on shopping sprees. She has an accomplice, but Ramsey hadn't been able to identify him, and been tracking her spending and was almost out of funds.
Heading to America after Mr. and Mrs. Gillette murdered, Ramsey began to investigative their deaths believing foul play was involved. Ramsey teamed up with Manhattan SVU to find out the cause. During the investigation, he was annoyed by Anne using countermeasures, especially provoked when interrogating Anna because she knew his mother and their distant relationship, implying she was a smooth talker and flirt badly enough to make Ramsey storm out. Each tactic was overcome and Anne was arrested. However, she later put a bounty on his head to prevent him from discovering her role in the deaths of her parents. Working with SVU and after faking their deaths, Ramsey was able to finally expose the heiress for the murderer she was after tricking her into confessing.
