On December 26, 1996, JonBenét, a six-year-old pageant contestant, was discovered beaten and murdered in the basement of her Boulder, Colorado, home. An autopsy determined that the victim had been strangled, and the case was declared homicidal.
At first, Boulder police suspected that JonBenét's mother, Patsy, wrote the ransom note and that her parents faked the note and the child's body to hide the murder. John and Patsy, her parents, were cleared of suspicion in the case, but Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett claimed in a 2016 interview with PEOPLE that the "exoneration" ruling was "misleading."
Since then, the investigation into her death has been ongoing and has been frequently presented on television
