Killer Psychologist

59 - Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?


Listen Later

On December 26, 1996, six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found dead in her Boulder, Colorado home. Hours before the case even hit the news, convicted pedophile Gary Oliva called his friend Michael Vail, confessing that he had "accidentally" killed her. So why, 28 years later, does this case remain unsolved? Is justice within reach, or has it already been served without anyone realizing?

Cold Case Investigator & Private detective Jason Jensen, forensic psychologist Craig Wetterer, and insider Michael Vail break down the tangled web of evidence, misinformation, and media-fueled speculation. Why won’t DNA solve this case? Why did investigative journalists in the ‘90s double down on their accusations against the Ramsey family? And why, after all this time, does the case remain frozen in uncertainty?

Buckle up—this isn’t the story you think you know.
