We've said it would happen, and it finally did. Today, we're taking a look at the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. In part 1, we discuss the story of what happened and the CBS documentary that inspired a lawsuit. (There is a tone in the middle of the 911 call from a song that someone added in. We went with this version because it was the clearest but were unable to remove the sound in it's entirety. Sorry for any confusion this may cause.)
