For nearly three decades, the unsolved murder mystery of JonBenét Ramsey has haunted America, dominated true crime documentaries, and fueled countless investigative reports. The six-year-old beauty queen’s death in December 1996 not only devastated her family but also became one of the most infamous cold cases in U.S. history.
On Christmas morning, JonBenét was found dead in the basement of her Boulder, Colorado home. That single discovery ignited a media storm that mixed speculation, sensational headlines, and conflicting theories. To this day, the case is remembered as a tragic failure of both law enforcement and criminal investigation techniques that should have delivered justice.
