Authorities in Colorado are refuting claims that there is potential evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of JonBenet Ramsey that they are not tracking.

The director Netflix's latest true crime documentary, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, has admitted that he initially 'fell for' a controversial theory surrounding the case. The three-part documentary explores the tragic and mysterious death of six year old JonBenét on December 26th, 1996.

Investigators collected someone else's DNA from JonBenét’s fingernails and her underwear. Ultimately, the docuseries calls into question the validity of the DNA testing, but it had been previously determined that neither Patsy, John, nor Burke matched it.
