“Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” on Netflix: The biggest reveal of the docuseries

I’ve watched a number of JonBenét Ramsey specials over the years and, like many of those invested in the case, hoped that each one would solve the unimaginable death of a six-year-old in her Boulder, Colorado, home on Christmas Day. Like those previous documentaries, Netflix’s “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?” doesn’t give us the answer we’ve been looking for in the 28 years since. But what the three-hour docuseries (now streaming) does exceptionally well is show how wrong it was to suspect the child’s parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, or brother Burke, who was just nine at the time of his sister’s death years old.

“People hated the Ramseys,” Paula Woodward, an investigative journalist who covered the case, says in the docuseries, “and that was because the information that was coming out about them was false.”
