ID NET TO DO JONBENET, AS A DOCU-DRAMA.
It was the crime that gripped the nation—a bright, beaming, 6-year old beauty queen is mysteriously murdered in her very own home the day after Christmas in 1996. Investigators navigated false leads, a heavily compromised crime scene and a maze of finger-pointing. But now, 20 years later, Investigation Discovery (ID) in an unprecedented partnership with Weinstein Television, Jupiter Entertainment and American Media, Inc. (AMI)—parent company to RadarOnline and The National ENQUIRER, who have closely followed every lead and every step of the case—sheds new light on the still-unsolved case of who killed JonBenét Ramsey. In a three-night television event beginning Monday, September 12 at 10/9c, ID rips this cold case open with JONBENÉT: AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY (wt), chronologically reexamining the evidence to challenge long-held beliefs at the center of this enduring mystery. The series will also premiere within Discovery Networks International's portfolio of factual and lifestyle channels in more than 220 countries and territories this fall.
"Provocative, investigative programming is what ID does best – and there is no better case for us to take on than the two-decade long, agonizing mystery of what happened to JonBenét Ramsey," said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Investigation Discovery, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. "The fact is, we may never definitively know the answer to that question – but ID will re-explore every angle, every shred of evidence, and every 'whodunit' theory to allow our viewers to draw their own conclusions on the case."
Commented Weinstein Television Executive Vice President, Patrick Reardon: "AMI and Jupiter are the best true crime storytellers in the business and we are thrilled to be partnering with them on this project. Along with Investigation Discovery, we have found the perfect home to tell a whole new side of this 20-year mystery."
Said Dylan Howard, Chief Content Officer, AMI: "JonBenét Ramsey is the most compelling cold case murder of our day, and still haunts millions of people around the world who so desperately want answers. This series is the most authoritative and thorough examination of the investigation to date, and will lead viewers on a fascinating exploration of never-before-seen police evidence, and probe key figures in the crime with provocative questions. Utilizing the world-class reporting of AMI's publications and its investigators, JONBENÉT: AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY provides detailed profiles and reveal chief suspects as we pursue the greatest unanswered question of them all — who killed this innocent beauty queen."
"We are thrilled to be working with ID, Weinstein Company and American Media, Inc. to bring old and new evidence to light," said Allison Wallach, President of Jupiter Entertainment. "Numerous theories and investigations have been launched from this case and we are excited for the chance to showcase them all together in one captivating series."
