Netflix Documentary Revives Focus on JonBenét Ramsey's Unsolved Murder

The series highlights investigator Lou Smit's efforts and the Ramsey family's continued pursuit of justice nearly 30 years later.

JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old beauty pageant contestant, was found murdered in her Boulder, Colorado, home in December 1996, a case that remains unsolved.
A new Netflix docuseries, 'Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey,' explores the investigation and the work of detective Lou Smit, who believed an intruder was responsible for her death.
Smit's theories, supported by DNA evidence excluding the Ramsey family, clashed with the Boulder Police Department's initial focus on the family as suspects.
The Ramsey family, including JonBenét's father John and half-brother John Andrew, continue to push for advanced DNA testing, criticizing the Boulder police for their handling of the case.
Smit's family and former colleagues have carried on his investigative work since his death in 2010, aiming to fulfill his wish to identify JonBenét's killer.
