Netflix Docuseries Rekindles Debate Over JonBenét Ramsey Case

New evidence and advanced DNA testing raise hopes of solving the 28-year-old murder mystery.

Netflix's new three-part docuseries, 'Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey,' examines the 1996 murder of the 6-year-old and explores investigative missteps and media influence.
Director Joe Berlinger highlights the work of late detective Lou Smit, who theorized an intruder was responsible and criticized the focus on the Ramsey family.
The Boulder Police Department has denied claims of inaction, stating they are actively pursuing leads and working with DNA experts to analyze remaining evidence.
JonBenét's father, John Ramsey, has called for advanced DNA testing, citing successes in solving other cold cases through genealogy research.
Despite being cleared in 2008, public suspicion of the Ramsey family persists, fueled by decades of media speculation and controversial theories.
