Mini Episode: “What We Know… and What We Think We Know” A Bridge Between Part II and Part III of The Midnight Mystery Archive: JonBenét Ramsey
Before we enter the suspect pool in Part III of the JonBenét Ramsey series, this mini-episode explores the critical divide between established facts and investigative interpretation in one of America’s most infamous unsolved child homicide cases.
We break down what investigators agree on — from the unusual ransom note to the compromised crime scene — and what has fueled decades of disagreement, including the meaning of the unidentified DNA, conflicting forensic timelines, and the early split between Boulder Police and the District Attorney’s Office over whether the evidence pointed inward toward the Ramsey family or outward toward a possible intruder.
Drawing from sourced material including Perfect Murder, Perfect Town, Steve Thomas’s investigative accounts, CBI DNA reports, and multiple forensic documentaries, this episode sets the stage for the complex suspect profiles explored in Part III.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of why the JonBenét Ramsey case remains unsolved, why experts still interpret the same clues differently, and how the earliest investigative fractures shaped every theory that followed.
Perfect for fans of true crime, cold cases, forensic psychology, ransom note analysis, and in-depth documentary-style storytelling.
