Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey

I was surprised and disappointed by the fact, that the participation of John E. Douglas was not mentioned in the documentation. He was invited by the Ramseys' lawyers as an objective reviewer. He made an excellent analysis, including the behavioural aspect, especially of the ransom note and based on all this he believes that the parents are not the killers or that they cover up their son. It doesn't add up.

If you are interested in this part of the case, I recommend his book "The cases that hunt us", in which the Ramsey case is one of five or six cases analyzed, and the only one, Douglas participated in. (Jack the Ripper, Lizzy Borden, Black Dahlia Murder, JonBenet Ramsey, Zodiac Killer).

Important miss IMHO.

I appalled at the comments of both law enforcers, and non-law enforcers on the Ramsey's!! Carol Mckinley talking about how insincere Patsy looked, commenting on her wearing large black subglasses.... ?? Carol, why don't you let us all know what to wear and how to act when we walk out of the church following our childs burial mass!?!? Can you be more ignorant and insensitive? When a family member passes through "natural causes" it must be horrifying walking out to the insatiable media and their cameras... can u imagine if it was your young child that was brutally murdered? You're a disgusting person.

Documentary compilation of one of the most controversial and talked about cases during the late 90s.

Who really killed this 6 year old girl still remains a mystery and although there have been many suspects, the real culprit has never been found.

This documentary is clearly biased towards the vision of JonBenet's father and his family, focusing on how badly the Boulder police acted. By saying this I don't mean that everything is bad...it is obvious that the police acted irresponsibly, negligently, that they planted false evidence and hid information that could have exonerated the family of guilt and yet they didn't. A witch hunt that only slowed down the investigation for years. Perhaps only Lou Smith, the detective who from day one said that the theory of the family's guilt was impossible, was the only one who did things right.

As with any case that is so old, contaminated forensic evidence prevented any culprit from being found.

It is a strange case from any angle, from the letter written asking for ransom, from the location of the body, the marks, everything that happened. The United States society has a huge problem that goes beyond beauty pageants for 6-year-old girls, which are aberrant in themselves; but also in terms of the possibility and access that sick people have who only want to satisfy their carnal and sick desires at the expense of the innocence of their victims.

One more case that I unfortunately doubt will ever be resolved and that left a family devastated and a society exposed to shame.

I remember when this case was unavoidable in the news and a national obsession, people passionately "believed" the parents were guilty based on weak circumstantial evidence, opinions about child beauty pageants, and police supposition.

Ignore the other reviewers who say it's a documentary series made by/for the Ramseys. The actual facts of the case are that the police jumped to conclusions, ignored and kept secret the DNA evidence that exonerated the family, but the police just "believed" the parents were guilty. Everything flowed from there. It was sickening media and police malpractice. The hell this family was put through reveals a lot more about the public's relationship to sensational "news" that was really just entertainment and clickbait.

John and Patsy Ramsey are panic stricken one night when they discover that their six year old daughter JonBenét has vanished, their world is shattered when they discover her dead body in the house, a flawed Police investigation follows.

The first thing I'll note, this is not a series for the sensitive to watch, some of the content, particularly in the second episode is very harrowing, truly shocking.

It's a very revealing, in-depth look at what happened to that poor child, I'm sure we'll all have our views and opinions as to who was guilty, and what happened, one thing is clear, John and Patsy were truly failed by The Authorities.

It's incredibly well made, with some very powerful interviews, it's just a shame that The Boulder Police didn't offer up their point of view.

The Police carried out a truly shambolic investigation into the crime, why on Earth wasn't an experienced Detective called in to hunt for the killer?

The Media also deserve a heap of criticism, their behaviour was truly reprehensible.

9/10.
