About this episode

The episode explores the complexities surrounding the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey, focusing on the possibility of an inside job and the implications of family involvement.

Grab your copy of People magazine and a bowl of pineapple because today we’re continuing to gain a broader understanding of the 1996 murder of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey. Police suspected from the beginning that this was an inside job so today we’ll be exploring things from that angle. Could parents really make an accident look like a murder? Could a 9 year old really do something like this? Why wasn’t DNA evidence enough to exonerate the Ramsey’s in the eyes of the Boulder Police Department? Today we’re pulling back the layers- from the pineapple to the autopsy to the views of the detectives that worked this case. Could the killer have been so close to home that they were literally family? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support .
