At 1:05 PM on December 26, 1996, the body of a beautiful six-year-old girl was found by her father in a dark, frigid basement room of their family home in Boulder, Colorado. Just seven hours earlier, at 5:52 AM, the child’s mother frantically called the police to report her daughter missing after discovering a two-and-a-half-page ransom note on a spiral staircase within their residence. From that moment on, the tragic and brutal death of JonBenét Ramsey - a daughter, sister, niece, friend, and beauty queen - has captivated the public imagination, dominating headlines and igniting endless discussions and debates about the identity of her killer. In Part 1 of our two-part coverage, we delve deeply into the myriad questions and theories that swirl around this case. We dissect the intricate details of the ransom note, analyze the findings of the autopsy report, and begin to uncover the often horrific ways in which the investigation was conducted—or, according to many, NOT investigated. Our exploration aims to cast light on a narrative that transcends mere media spectacle and conjecture—it's about a real little girl whose life ended tragically and whose case cries out for justice and closure.
