The definitive documentary on JonBenet

Finally someone did it right. This documentary is one of the best documentaries ever made. They research and test every major point of the murder using top investigators and scientists. The only thing I wish they would have gone into more depth is the handwriting of the note and similarities with previous patsy handwritings. One point that I don't think they brought up was the ransom note clearly told the Ramseys their daughter would be killed if they contacted ANYONE about the abduction and not once have I heard the Ramseys say they debated whether to call police. The Ramseys didn't tell police to park in the back using only one car to hide their involvement, etc etc. BUT even bigger is they called 4 friends and asked them to come immediately over which the supposed kidnappers would have clearly seen. NO ONE would have just had 10 people show up at their house immediately after a ransom note said their daughter would be killed if they told anyone.

Loved the documentary. Seen it 3 times. Highly recommended. Would love to see pressure put on boulder police to allow the top experts of the day do comprehensive DNA tests on everything.

I couldn't agree more. I also had a lot of questions about the ransom note, especially regarding the handwriting. If it had been typed, that's maybe one thing, but it was handwritten, and went from chicken-scratch to more legible, which nobody mentioned at all.

Idk, maybe it was lack of time that limited them getting into everything like that, but I had more questions than answers about a lot of things.
I do love all of those crime-fighters, though, and I really appreciate the time and energy they put into this. But I also felt like a lot was left out in terms of discussing the forensic evidence.
