“How low can you go?” Netflix has revealed an official trailer for yet another true crime doc series called Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, which will be available late this month on Netflix. From the Oscar-nominated director Joe Berlinger, this three-part docuseries investigates the mishandling of the case by law enforcement and the media. Everyone who was around in the late 1990s knows this story about JonBenét Ramsey – it was major news for a long time. And still is something that people will get all riled up about. There was also another provocative doc film about it called Casting JonBenet a few years ago. This new Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey series scrutinizes the missteps of law enforcement in Boulder, CO, and the media, highlighting the relatively straightforward measures that just could have 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? An interesting question to ask before it has even debuted. Another series made for true crime fans.
Main trailer (+ poster) for Netflix’s doc series Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, via YouTube:
On December 26, 1996, John and Patsy Ramsey wake up the morning after a loving family Christmas to discover their youngest child, six-year-old JonBenét, is missing, a chilling ransom note left downstairs. Later that day, John Ramsey discovers his daughter’s body in the basement, revealing the shocking truth that JonBenét had not been kidnapped, but was instead sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in their own home. The Boulder, Colorado police, who had little practical experience in homicide investigations, quickly cast suspicion on JonBenét’s family as the most likely suspects, fanning flames of media scrutiny & largely one-sided reporting, turning the case into a national obsession. 28 years later, that obsession — and all the finger-pointing — hasn’t gone away, and the murder of JonBenét Ramsey remains unsolved.
