As we approach the 28th anniversary of JonBenét Ramsey's tragic murder, Netflix has announced the release of a three-part documentary titled "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?" The film will delve into the infamous Boulder crime that captured the attention of the world and continues to remain unsolved.
Scheduled to premiere on November 25th, just four weeks before the anniversary of Ramsey's death, the documentary will explore the case that shocked everyone with its brutality and the fact that the victim was a child beauty queen. The young Ramsey was found in her home's basement on December 26th, 1996, with a fractured skull, evidence of strangulation with a garotte, and signs of sexual assault, according to the Boulder County Coroner.
The trailer for "Cold Case" features an unnamed woman's voiceover, suggesting that dressing a child up as a beauty queen could attract the attention of predators. The initial investigation into the crime revealed that it started as a kidnapping with a ransom note demanding $118,000 for Ramsey's return. However, it ended tragically when her body was discovered in the basement just a few hours later, leaving both family members and police with more questions than answers.
The trailer also raises the question of whether the perpetrator was a stranger or if the family was somehow involved. The documentary will feature interviews with various individuals, including former reporter and current editor at the Daily Camera, Charlie Brennan, who will provide a unique perspective on the case. The film will also include footage from local news outlets, such as The Rocky Mountain News and Boulder Daily Camera, as well as national tabloids that sensationalized the story and spread false information about the Ramsey family.
"Cold Case" promises to present new evidence and theories through interviews, TV footage, home movies, and police calls, shedding light on the various angles that have been explored in the investigation. The Boulder Police and the media will also come under scrutiny for their handling of the case, with accusations of mishandling and tainting evidence and spreading misinformation.
In an interview, a male voice in the trailer expresses hope that the case might finally be solved, stating that everyone should be considered a suspect, and the investigation needs to go deeper. The Boulder Police have recently announced that the Colorado Cold Case Review Team has completed the digitalization of evidence and reviewed all related items, with DNA testing being a crucial focus in the ongoing investigation.
Interestingly, "Cold Case" is not the only media project about Ramsey's murder that will be available on streaming services. In 2016, "Getting Away with Murder" and in 2017, "Casting JonBenét" garnered attention, and most recently, Paramount+ announced a new streaming series based on the case, starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen as JonBenét's parents, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of her death. Additionally, a stage show titled "Cold Case Live" recently visited the Boulder Theater, further highlighting the enduring fascination with this unsolved crime.
