Netflix has greenlit “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey,” which will revisit the famous murder case of the six-year-old beauty queen with fresh eyes and perspective and features interviews with key people from the crime and investigation, including JonBenét’s father, John Ramsey. Joe Berlinger (“Conversations with a Killer,” “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills”) will direct.
The logline: On the morning after Christmas in 1996, John and Patsy Ramsey woke up to discover their youngest child, six-year-old JonBenét, was missing, a ransom note left downstairs. Later that day, John Ramsey discovered his daughter’s body in the basement, revealing the truth that JonBenét had not been kidnapped, but was instead sexually assaulted and murdered in their own home. The Boulder, Colorado police quickly cast suspicion on JonBenét’s family as the most likely suspects, turning the case into a national obsession. Twenty-eight years later, that obsession hasn’t gone away, and the murder of JonBenét Ramsey remains unsolved.
“Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” will launch on November 25.
