Netflix is preparing to immerse viewers in one of America’s most enduring mysteries with its upcoming three-part documentary, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?
Premiering on November 25, 2024, the series revisits the haunting, unsolved murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, a young beauty pageant star whose life was tragically cut short in her home on Boxing Day in 1996.
This brutal crime, surrounded by intrigue and unanswered questions, captivated both national and international media.
n that tragic morning, JonBenét’s parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, discovered a ransom note. However, the horror deepened when they later found their daughter’s lifeless body in their basement.
JonBenét had been sexually assaulted and brutally murdered, triggering an investigation that remains unable to identify the killer.
Directed by Joe Berlinger, known for his insightful explorations into criminal minds and law enforcement failures—such as the Conversations with a Killer series and Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street—this documentary seeks to offer fresh perspectives on the case.
Berlinger’s latest project examines the early handling of the investigation by the Boulder, Colorado police, who faced criticism for their lack of experience with homicide cases. It also delves into the media’s role in casting suspicion on JonBenét’s family, further amplifying the public spectacle.
Unsurprisingly, the release of the Netflix documentary has ignited conversations on X, with one user sharing: “This case and the Caylee Anthony case still haunt me to this day. So damn sad. I wish those angels got the justice they deserved.”
Another user criticized the streaming platform, saying: “Why is Netflix STILL making documentaries about JonBenét Ramsey? That poor baby will never get justice at this rate.”
Meanwhile, a third commenter expressed optimism, writing: “This will be good, knowing how Netflix does docs.”
The trailer, released last night, hints at a thorough examination of the mistakes and oversights that have kept this case unsolved for nearly three decades.
Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey? promises to challenge the public’s perception of the tragedy and could spark new conversations about how justice might ultimately be served for the young girl whose life was cut tragically short.
