JONBENÉT: AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY is an unabridged and comprehensive look at the crime and the investigation surrounding around JonBenét's murder. As headlines and sensational breaking news scrutinized every aspect of the case - from local law enforcement's handling of the investigation, to the multiple 'whodunit' theories swirling about, to the family's bizarre behavior in the weeks and months following JonBenét's death - the country became transfixed by the child behind the pageant star. Featuring never-before-seen crime scene footage from inside the house, captured moments after JonBenet was found; rarely-shared police interrogation tapes with Patsy and John Ramsey; and unsealed documents and more than 500 family photos, JONBENÉT: AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY is the definitive look at every angle of this tragic and controversial investigation.

Exclusive interviewees featured in this three-part series include Gordon Coombes, a former investigator for the Boulder County District Attorney's office, offering unique insight into the inner-workings of the office during critical moments in the case; Diane Dimond, an investigative journalist for Hard Copy who covered the case on the ground in Boulder from the very beginning; Bobby Brown and Steve Pease, both former Colorado Springs Detectives and protégés of Lou Smit's famed Apple Dumpling Gang - a group of retired law enforcement officials famous for solving some of the nation's toughest cold cases. The series also includes an exclusive interview with John Mark Karr - his first in 10 years - who is the only person to ever be arrested for the murder, recently filmed from Bangkok.

Other individuals interviewed include Ollie Gray and John San Agustin, private investigators for the Ramsey family and leading voices advocating the "Intruder Theory"; Bob Whitson, former Sergeant in the Boulder Police, who was in the Ramsey house the day JonBenét's body was discovered; and Pamela Griffin, who hand made all of JonBenét's pageant costumes and personally knew the entire Ramsey family.

JONBENÉT: AN AMERICAN MURDER MYSTERY is produced for Investigation Discovery by Weinstein Television, American Media, Inc., and Jupiter Entertainment with Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein, Patrick Reardon, Stephen Land, Allison Wallach, Matt Sprouse, David Pecker and Dylan Howard as Executive Producers.
