Netflix Docuseries Renews Focus on Decades-Old JonBenét Ramsey Case

The three-part series highlights investigative failures, exonerates the Ramsey family, and advocates for new DNA testing to solve the 1996 murder.

  • The Netflix docuseries 'Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?' examines the unsolved 1996 murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey and the mishandling of the case by Boulder Police.
  • Director Joe Berlinger emphasizes the importance of clearing the Ramsey family's name, pointing to investigative errors and untested DNA evidence as critical issues.
  • The series explores the media's role in perpetuating unfounded suspicions against JonBenét's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and her brother Burke, all of whom were officially cleared in 2008.
  • The documentary calls for advanced DNA testing using modern genealogical methods, which could potentially identify the perpetrator using evidence from the crime scene.
  • JonBenét's father, John Ramsey, continues to advocate for justice and seeks proper testing of remaining evidence as public interest in the case persists nearly three decades later.
