Just a rubbish whitewash

This is just a rubbish whitewash, that only focuses on everyone else than the family.

Please read some of the other books on the topic - for example:
"Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey" By Charles Bosworth, "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town" By Lawrence Schiller, or "JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation" By Steve Thomas.

Then it will be perfectly clear that either Patsey or Burke did it, and the family covered it all up by pointing at everybody else, just like this series seems to do.

Interesting

Will it ever be solved? So many suspects, so much time has passed. I think the one who killed himself or a supposed killer in the area did it.

Good for what it is but not what it claims to be

As an exploration of the intruder theories of the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, this podcast is very good. It's detailed, clear, and has the unique position of giving the family's insight.

This is not, however, an "unbiased" deep dive into the murder as it purports to be. The creators not only decline to even summarize the family theories but are openly antagonistic of them. In and of itself, that opinion is fine, but when advertised as unbiased content, it reads as dishonest.

I have seen and heard actual unbiased presentations of the theories and found some of the intruder theories to be more compelling than the family theories, but the very thin claim of nonbias in this podcast makes the content feel unreliable.

Had it been acknowledged from the beginning as a rebuttal to the family theories, it would have been more successful. When you're looking to persuade, as this podcast obviously is, opening with a lie is a bad move.

Well researched, nothing new

An interesting podcast focusing on lead detective Lou Smith's final suspects in the Ramsey case. There are no major revelations here, but what is presented is well researched and detailed and perhaps a better portrait of the media frenzy around the murderer than of the case itself. people still obsessed with the idea that the Ramses killed their daughter... though no physical evidence actually supports that conclusion...will probably hate this since it is evidence-based rather than a lot of speculation and feeling about the Ramseys. Fascinating and frustrating, it is far better than most podcasts on the subject.

Only surface level and clearly biased

This is an ok podcast, but if it’s the first “deep dive” you’re attempting to take into this case, this is not a good one to start with. This production is clearly biased towards the family. They aren’t 100% honest about some of the evidence by omitting details that fully explain the steps investigators took to follow all of the potential leads in this case. There are better books/podcasts to listen to to get a full and fair picture of all of the theories.

Nothing new and minds are set

There’s nothing new to hear…. Although what you do hear, you hear MULTIPLE times. Half of the “time” of this podcast literally the SAME thing being repeated to bring hope to us listeners that they’ll drop a new bombshell… but they don’t.
If you have nothing better to listen to … that’s only when I’d recommend.

Team Ramsey PR Stunt

Another maddening attempt to deflect suspicion away from the “perfect” family. Now they’ve recruited JonBenet’s brother John Andrew Ramsey to carry the banner. No one’s done more to harm this investigation than the Ramseys. All these years later, they are still pointing the finger of suspicion at family friends and former employees; even the employee’s kids! See? It’s all in the DNA. The police, district attorney, FBI, news media, book authors, you and I are all to blame. FYI, Lou Smit’s family started a GoFundMe account. That’s right. You can donate money to help them work on occasional weekends to follow up on non Ramsey related leads (That’s not a conflict of interest). Remember, there’s a crazed perverted monster out there who writes 3-page ransom notes. Keep your kids close!

Nothing new

What a waste of time. Sorry, but I think patsy did it. That 3 page ransom note, designed to get the dad out of the house. Mothers and daughters have complex relationships.
