On Dec. 26, 1996, John and Patsy Ramsey awoke to a nightmare. Their youngest child, 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, was missing, with a chilling ransom note left behind. The day took a devastating turn when John Ramsey discovered JonBenét’s lifeless body in the basement, revealing the horrifying truth that she had been sexually assaulted and brutally murdered within the supposed safety of her own home. The Boulder police, inexperienced in handling homicide investigations, quickly turned their suspicions toward the Ramsey family, igniting a media frenzy that painted them as the prime suspects. This one-sided reporting fueled a national obsession, casting a long shadow over the case that remains unsolved 28 years later.

Now, Academy Award–nominated director Joe Berlinger is reexamining the infamous cold case in a compelling three-part docuseries, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey? The series scrutinizes the missteps of law enforcement and the media, highlighting the relatively straightforward measures that could potentially solve this haunting mystery. As the series unfolds, it poses a critical question: Will Colorado authorities finally take the necessary actions to bring JonBenét Ramsey’s killer to justice and offer her family the peace they’ve long sought?

Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey? is produced by Joe Berlinger, Craig D’Entrone, Jon Kamen, Jen Isaacson, and Tim Young. The series premieres on Netflix on Nov. 25.
