Justice for JonBenét

Breakthrough DNA evidence is revealed in this 60 Minutes investigation

Her big blue eyes, even bigger blond hair, and perfect smile are all instantly recognisable. It’s JonBenét Ramsey, the six-year-old beauty pageant princess murdered in her own home. 25 years on from the crime, whoever did it remains free. For her father John, that’s unbearably painful, but he hasn’t given up on the killer being found. In fact, with advances in DNA technology, he says there’s a strong likelihood this mystery can finally be solved. Incredibly though, John faces a roadblock in his search for the truth - the very police who are in charge of the investigation.

Filming took place in Colorado, California, and at John's residence among the iconic landscape of Moab, Utah.
