Netflix Expands Coverage of JonBenét Ramsey Murder Case

The JonBenét Ramsey murder case, a tragedy that happened almost three decades ago, continues to capture public attention. If JonBenét were alive today, she would be 34 years old, navigating life’s challenges. But her story lives on, immortalized in books, movies, and TV specials.

The tale of the six-year-old girl found dead in her home on Christmas 1996, with a puzzling ransom note, hapless parents, and a suspicious brother, is one that many are familiar with. Despite the police’s mishandling of the case and the involvement of questionable characters like John Mark Karr, the mystery persists.

Netflix is releasing a new three-part miniseries titled Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?, revisiting the investigation. If you’re into dramatized crime stories, there’s also a docudrama in the works where Melissa McCarthy portrays Patsy Ramsey—a debatable casting choice, no doubt.

In the meantime, if you’re interested in exploring more about JonBenét’s story, here are some options. Netflix’s 2017 documentary Casting JonBenét offers a stylized take on the investigation. Another show from November 2016, JonBenét’s Mother: Victim or Killer?, delves into the life of Patsy Ramsey, raising questions about her possible involvement in her daughter’s death. And who could forget Dateline NBC’s coverage on the case, digging deep into the original investigation.

Whether you’re a true-crime enthusiast or someone looking to understand this infamous unsolved case, these shows offer different perspectives on the tragic death of JonBenét Ramsey.
