The tragic death of the former child star continues to captivate public attention decades after her shocking murder, especially as Netflix revisits the unsolved case. Despite numerous individuals, including her own family members, being linked to the crime, no arrests have been made to this day.
JonBenét Ramsey’s life was tragically cut short at a young age, and nearly 30 years later, her father, John Ramsey, remains steadfast in his pursuit of justice. The long-unsolved case has gained renewed attention through Joe Berlinger’s Netflix series, with John claiming to know who is responsible for her death.

The new series, “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey,” directed by Joe, takes a fresh look at JonBenét’s nearly three-decade-old case.
Released on November 25, 2024, the three-part documentary features interviews with key figures, including her father, John, and uncovers law enforcement and media missteps that fueled conspiracy theories.
Joe explained, “Through unprecedented access and a comprehensive multi-year investigation, we reveal the deep flaws in how the case was originally handled, resulting in a sea of conspiracy theories that nearly destroyed the Ramsey family for a second time.”
The series also provides intimate reflections from JonBenét’s family, offering a glimpse into their lives before and after the tragedy. In the trailer, her older half-brother, John Andrew Ramsey, recalls, “We were just a regular family” the day before JonBenét’s death.

The said tragedy unfolded on Christmas Day in 1996 when six-year-old JonBenét was killed in her family’s Boulder, Colorado, home. The next day, in the wee hours of the morning, her mother, Patricia “Patsy” Ramsey, called the police to report JonBenét missing.
