Let’s talk about one of the most heartbreaking and baffling cases in true crime history—the murder of 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey. On Christmas morning 1996, JonBenét was found in the basement of her family’s Boulder, Colorado home, and to this day, her case remains unsolved. Over the years, this case has sparked endless theories, questions, and heated debates: Was it an intruder? Could someone in the family have been involved? Or is the truth something we’ve all overlooked? In this episode, I’m breaking down the timeline, the infamous ransom note, and the key theories that have kept this case alive for nearly three decades. We’ll go over the evidence, the suspects, and the lingering mysteries that make this case so haunting.  Support the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/jenriverainvestigatesConnect with me on social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenriverainvestigates/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeninvestigates/Watch the video episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JenRiveraInvestigatesVisit my website: https://jenriverainvestigates.com/Sources:People.comFox NewsABC NewsWSBTVNetflixCNNCity of BoulderNBC NewsToday.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/case-uncovered--6440550/support.

Her boyfriend, Phil Flores an off-duty Crest Hill police officer called 911 claiming that it was self-inflicted.
