Investigative Reports: "JonBenet: Anatomy of an Investigation" puts the JonBenet Ramsey case under the microscope.
Three-and-a-half years after the brutal murder, the case is trying to
stay warm. But will it ever be solved? In this episode, Bill Kurtis
seeks to discover where the case went wrong. What caused the
investigation to become irreversibly damaged, and who is really to blame for not bringing JonBenet's murderer to justice?
We look at the Boulder police, a small town police department that —
with its record of only 16 homicides in a decade — was just too
inexperienced to handle a high profile case like this alone. We talk to the Boulder D.A. about where he thinks the case went wrong and what
mistakes he made.
For the first time, the lead FBI agent on the scene the day JonBenet's
body was found, talks to us about when the F.B.I. was called into the
case and what mistakes were made that have put the investigation into
the precarious position it's in today.
And finally, we ask John and Patsy Ramsey the hard questions about why
they weren't more cooperative in the investigation into their daughter's death.
This is the story of what went wrong in the JonBenet Ramsey
investigation - and what happened to justice on the way to finding the
killer of this little girl.
