As a true crime fanatic, I can say that this is one of my favorite true crime books of all time. It's so well researched and written, and it is incredible to me how many half-truths, misunderstandings, and straight up lies I believed about those case before reading it!

An absolute MUST READ for anybody who has ever had an opinion on the Ramsey case. Woodward uses no conjecture, no opinions, no speculation, just cold hard irrefutable FACTS. As someone who has been closely involved in the case, it completely baffles my mind that anybody could possibly ever even consider that the parents were responsible for their daughter’s brutal murder.
Woodward breaks down DNA evidence found under Jonbenet’s fingernails, in her underwear, and at the waistband of her panties. It does not match the family’s, but all comes from the same man. What parents could possibly stun gun their own child, shove a paintbrush into her genitals, bash her head in, and strangle her to death? Are you serious??
Woodward, with a completely unbiased approach, uses pure hard physical evidence to prove that an intruder was responsible for Jonbenet’s murder and the BPD took part in an elaborate scheme to cover up their incredibly horrific handling of their first major murder case. As a cop myself, I am usually quick to take their side- but their bungling of the investigation at every single step of the way and constant finger-pointing at an innocent family is unforgivable. Imagine being a parent to a child who is brutally murdered in your own home, then getting blamed for it by the police and the public for the rest of your lives, while you have to live with the fact that the killer will never be caught because the police gave more of a shit about covering their own asses than bringing your daughter justice. Sickening.
PLEASE give this a read. You won’t regret it.

A meticulously researched and written book that fulfilled my obsession with this case. I only wish a solution had come from it.

So much information. You could really tell the author felt the Ramsey's were innocent and the media was too blame for much of their demise. Which is pretty odd considering she herself was a member of the media during the time this was all going on.
