The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey series follows the Ramsey family, before and after the tragedy as they go through the painful loss of a child while facing intense public scrutiny in a media frenzy that captivated an entire nation.
At the heart of the series, it is the story of Patsy (Melissa McCarthy) and John (Clive Owen) Ramsey – exploring the unbreakable partnership of these two complex people – as husband and wife, as mother and father – who had committed themselves and their children to building the narrative of a perfect, privileged life only to have it destroyed one Christmas night in 1996.
Reported missing from her Boulder, Colorado home on December 26, 1996, JonBenét Ramsey was found dead several hours later in the basement of the home, along with a long ransom note. An autopsy revealed the cause of death as strangulation and was ruled a homicide.
