On December 26, 1996, Patsy Ramsey frantically called 911 to report that her daughter was missing from the family’s home in Boulder, Colorado, and that a ransom note had been discovered. The call marked the beginning of one of the most infamous cold cases in history.
JonBenét’s body was eventually discovered in the basement of the house with a garrote around her neck.
Initially, Patsy, her husband John and their son Burke, then nine years old, were at the top of the Boulder police suspect list.
In the years since, close observers of the case have developed their own theories while heavily criticizing the botched investigation.
