Including historic news and talk show footage, it covers in great detail what was considered a botched investigation into the murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, whose body was found in the basement of her Boulder, Colorado home on December 26, 1996. The police and district attorney openly feuded about how the case should be investigated. Their focus on the girl's parents drew intense worldwide media attention that ultimately made the adults appear guilty to the public. It was revealed in 2013 that a grand jury was willing to indict John and Patsy Ramsey with child abuse resulting in death and accessory to first-degree murder.[2] The prosecutor decided against prosecution due to the unlikelihood of a conviction.[3][4]
