The autopsy reveals ligature strangulation in the form of a white cord that was “wrapped around [JonBenét Ramsey]’s neck with a double knot in the midline of the posterior neck.” There were also ligature marks around her right wrist.

One month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenét Ramsey’s murder, Netflix will premiere a three-part “Cold Case” documentary about the Boulder crime, which captivated the world and remains unsolved.

Eight hours later, John Ramsey discovered JonBenét’s body in the basement. She was found with duct tape over her mouth and a nylon cord tied around her wrists and neck. In a move that further compromised the crime scene, John carried his daughter’s body upstairs, removing her from the location where she had been found.
