Netflix is diving into one of America’s most haunting mysteries with Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?, a three-part documentary set to air on November 25, 2024. Nearly 30 years after the brutal murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, the case remains unsolved, shrouded in controversy, conspiracy theories, and questions about law enforcement failures. The series is already sparking debate, not just about the case itself but also about the ethics of revisiting a tragedy that has been dissected countless times.
JonBenét’s death, on Christmas night in 1996, captured the world’s attention. Her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, reported her missing after finding a lengthy ransom note in their upscale Boulder, Colorado, home. Hours later, her lifeless body was found in the basement. She had been sexually assaulted and violently murdered. The chilling details and the family’s status as local elites turned the case into a media spectacle, with the Ramseys quickly cast as prime suspects in the court of public opinion. Decades later, the real killer remains at large, and the case is still a lightning rod for speculation.
