We also discuss the DNA evidence that led to the Ramsey family being publicly cleared in 2008.Then we get into some of the strangest and most debated details of the case: the alleged photograph taken inside the Ramsey home on Christmas night, the handwriting comparison involving Patsy Ramsey and the infamous ransom note, and the theories surrounding Burke Ramsey and the torch found in the house.As always, we're separating documented evidence from speculation and looking at the theories that have developed around one of America's most notorious unsolved murders.At the centre of all the theories, documentaries and decades of speculation remains the same fact: JonBenét Ramsey was a six-year-old girl whose murder remains officially unsolved.This is Killers, Cults & Queens.⚠️ This episode discusses the murder of a child and contains disturbing subject matter.

Who killed JonBenét Ramsey?In Part Three of our deep dive into one of the most notorious unsolved murder cases in modern history, Nikki and Cheryl examine the suspects, theories and bizarre confessions surrounding the murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey.From the intruder theory and the strange circumstances surrounding the ransom note, to the people investigated by police and the suspects who later inserted themselves into the case, we look at some of the most widely discussed possibilities surrounding JonBenét's death.We examine the claims surrounding Gary Oliva, whose possession of images of JonBenét and later confession brought renewed attention to him, as well as John Mark Karr, who claimed he had murdered JonBenét before DNA evidence ultimately ruled him out.But the investigation eventually comes back to the Ramsey family themselves. We look at the questions surrounding John Ramsey's actions on the morning JonBenét was found, the contamination of the crime scene, the family's interviews with investigators and the various theories that have circulated about what may have happened inside the Ramsey home.And just when you think we're reaching the end of the case… we're not.This was supposed to be a three-part series.

The investigation into the murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey continues in Part Two of our deep dive into one of the most infamous unsolved true crime cases in history.In this episode of Killers, Cults & Queens, Nikki and Cheryl return to Boulder, Colorado, in the aftermath of JonBenét's murder on Boxing Day 1996. What should have been a straightforward investigation into a kidnapping quickly became a murder investigation — but the crime scene had already been seriously compromised.We look at the Ramsey family, the backgrounds of John, Patsy and Burke Ramsey, and the events surrounding the discovery of JonBenét's body. We also examine the ransom note found inside the family home, including the bizarre $118,000 demand that matched John Ramsey's Christmas bonus, and why investigators questioned whether it was really written by a kidnapper.We also delve into JonBenét Ramsey's autopsy findings, the clothing and DNA evidence, the fibres discovered on the duct tape, the mysterious pineapple found in her stomach, and the problems created when family members, friends and police moved around the house before the crime scene could be properly secured.With the evidence seemingly pointing in different directions, investigators were left facing two competing possibilities: was JonBenét killed by someone inside the Ramsey family, or was there an intruder who entered the house that night?And as the investigation develops, the Ramsey family find themselves increasingly at the centre of suspicion while continuing to insist that an intruder was responsible.This is Part Two of our four-part JonBenét Ramsey series. In Part Three, we begin working through the suspects, intruder theories, false confessions and DNA developments that have kept this case in the public eye for decades.⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses the murder of a child, graphic injuries and potential sexual abuse.

9/11 was an event which changed the world forever. On the 9th of September 2001, two planes flew into the twin towers of The World Trade Centre and the devastation left in the wake of the attack was enormous.As the dust settled, ground zero was cleared and a war was launched, there were some people left out of the narrative. The focus from the press was solely on the dead and the impact on the city but thousands of survivors were left without support. People decided to join together, turning to online chat rooms to find community and connection. As people shared their stories of escape, witness testimonies and injuries, one tale stood out. This came from a survivor who had against all odds, managed to make it out from a floor no one else had. As people connected to her tale, they felt bad for her and thanked their lucky stars they weren't in her shoes, but half a decade later, someone started looking into her story and the seeds of doubt were starting to sprout.

Why Did D.B Cooper Jump From A Plane Mid-flight And Did He Survive? In 1971, a man made headlines after he boarded a plane with a bomb and told the flight attendents to do whatever he asked or else he'd set it off.
