Netflix’s Cold Case: A Deep Dive into the JonBenét Ramsey Murder

The infamous Netflix series, “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” has once again brought the spotlight onto the tragic murder case of the 6-year-old beauty queen. The case continues to intrigue and horrify, even almost 30 years after it unfolded in the chilly December of 1996.

The Ever-Present Spotlight on the Ramsey Family

For the past three decades, the parents of JonBenét Ramsey, Patsy and John, have faced a relentless public scrutiny. Many have pointed fingers at them, blaming them for their daughter’s untimely death. The young girl was found strangled, her lifeless body lying in the basement of their family home.

The Role of the Boulder Police Department

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Berlinger, the director of the docuseries, shared his insights on the case. Unlike other true-crime series and films, which often attempt to present both sides of a case, this three-part docuseries takes a stand. It squarely blames the Boulder Police Department for the case still remaining unresolved, 28 years after JonBenét was murdered.

New Information and the Hope for Justice

When queried about his motivation behind taking up the case, Berlinger, a celebrated and Oscar-nominated true-crime filmmaker, expressed his belief in the potential for progress. He hopes that new information could pressure the Boulder police to utilize advanced technology available today to reanalyze DNA found at the crime scene. This could help in absolving the Ramsey family of the alleged crime.

Seeking Justice

Berlinger is hopeful about solving the case. “I want to give that family a measure of justice,” he shared. He believes there are some fundamental steps that the Boulder Police need to take. Despite changes in the department, including a new police chief and many old players being gone, there seems to be an institutional reluctance to do what’s right.
