Morbid: JonBenét Ramsey Part 1 and the Unsolved 1996 Case

Boulder, Colorado. December 26, 1996. A mother calls 911 and says her six-year-old daughter is gone. A ransom note is found inside the house. Hours later, the story takes a turn nobody in that home could have imagined.

In Part 1 of their JonBenét Ramsey coverage, the hosts of Morbid walk through the unsolved 1996 case from the beginning. They bring their trademark mix of true-crime research, dark humor and respect for the victim, and they stay focused on the timeline and the details that made this case a national obsession.

Why does it still grip people? The investigation was heavily criticized, the media frenzy was relentless, and the public spent years pointing fingers at the family. Theories multiplied. Answers did not. Nearly three decades on, the case remains officially unsolved, and the questions about what happened inside that house keep drawing new listeners in.

This is only Part 1, so expect to be hooked and hunting for the next episode. Press play tonight: listen on Apple Podcasts, or find Morbid wherever you get your podcasts.
