Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan
About this episode

Entangled in a winding web of misconstrued details, misinformed opinions, and mishandled investigations, the space between “The Truth” and “The Story” can grow wider and wider. In the nearly thirty years since the murder of JonBenet Ramsey speculation has swirled around a number of suspects, including her closest family members.
