Officials, and public opinion, initially suspected her parents and older brother of the crime; the family was partially exonerated in 2003 and completely cleared of any wrongdoing in 2008. The case was reopened in 2009, but remains unsolved to this day.“While the horrific story of JonBenet Ramsey happened in a small Colorado town, it quickly captured global interest given the mysterious details of her death,” said Critical Content president and COO Andrew Marcus. “This series, unlike any other, will re-examine the case, speak with key players involved in the original investigation, and provide new theories about what truly happened that fateful night.”
