On Christmas night in 1996, six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey went to sleep in her family’s Boulder, Colorado home.
By the next morning, she was gone — and one of the most haunting and controversial cases in modern American history had begun.

In Part One of our two-part series, we walk carefully through the night and morning as it unfolded — minute by minute. From the discovery of a lengthy ransom note to the early investigative decisions that would permanently shape the case, this episode focuses on what is known, what was lost, and how a crime scene unraveled before investigators fully understood what they were facing.

This chapter does not speculate.
It does not sensationalize.
It examines the timeline, the environment, and the first critical hours that continue to define the case nearly three decades later.

Part Two will explore the autopsy findings, early theories, and the investigative paths that pulled this case in sharply different directions.
