Resolving for the Murder of a Child Beauty Queen and a Botched Investigation

The killing of six-year-old beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey — found in the basement of her family home in Boulder, Colorado, with a smashed skull and a garrote placed around her neck — remains one of America's most shameful unsolved crimes. A flawed investigation, fraught with police and prosecutorial misconduct and widespread evidence tampering, means that the little girl's killer remains at large after more than two decades.

Now, as told in Killing JonBenét Ramsey an unflinching new investigation into the crime will seek to finally secure justice for JonBenét. Investigative journalist Dylan Howard has assembled a crack team of internationally renowned criminal investigators, experts, and lawyers with the express aim of finding her killer.

They have sifted through scores of new tips and leads, pored over never-before-seen crime scene evidence, searched through hundreds of pages of coroners' reports, police statements, and private journals, and conducted many exclusive new interviews. They have petitioned courts and law enforcement agencies, gathered archival material, and utilized new scientific advances.

This is not a retelling of JonBenét's story — it is an active investigation of her murder.
