Netflix has just released a true crime documentary called Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, which is looking again at the cold case. As the death of JonBenét was never solved, there have been many theories about what might have happened to her.

The JonBenét Ramsey case started on Boxing Day of 1996, when her parents awoke to find their daughter missing, and a chilling ransom note in her place. Her father, John Ramsey, then discovered six-year-old JonBenét’s body in the basement, and it was later revealed she had been sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in the family home.

28 years later, and the case remains unsolved. But, there have been a number of theories about who may have killed JonBenét Ramsey, and some suspects over the years.

So, who killed JonBenét Ramsey? All the theories explained

Straight after the news of JonBenét’s death, there was a media frenzy. It was said local police had never dealt with a case this big, so were hoping to get it solved quickly. There were two main theories: Her family were involved, or it was a house intruder.

Suspicion was turned straight onto the Ramsey family. The main reason the family were looked at was because JonBenét was found inside her own home, and there was a suspicious ransom note. Police theorised the note may have been staged. The note was long, and was written in a pen and from paper from within the house.
