The murder of JonBenét Ramsey has been thrust back into the public eye with the November 2024 release of Netflix's Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey. In the world of true crime, this is one of those unsolved murders that captivates fans of the genre. Because it remains a mystery, theories have come and gone since the 6-year-old beauty pageant queen was killed in December 1996.
For years, police believed her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were involved. They even looked at her brother Burke, who was 9 years old at the time of his sister's death. Police looked at sex offenders in the area, like Gary Oliva, who confessed to police he was obsessed with the little girl, but his DNA didn't match any at the crime scene. There was also David Cooper, a possible suspect whom authorities were aware of but never followed up on.
