Netflix is digging into the JonBent Ramsey case this is what I learned from covering the tragedy
A buried tragedy re-lives again.1996.Christmas night.
JonBenét Ramsey.Little girl.
Unsolved murder.Colorado.
Similar to the Nancy Guthrie not yet solved case.For months this story ran.I was on it daily.

So then what?Hear of anything like this before? This land of the free, home of the brave, got some legal system or what? But a suspected butcher/pervert/pedophile murderer walks Boulder unbothered, unannoyed, unannounced, unhounded by cops who suspect them.This is two months past her death.Trails get cold.
Clues do not grow hotter.I wrote: “STOP with those local yokels who sh...
