Even the somewhat more prestigious CBS network offers its own six-hour event docu-series, "The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey," which unites original investigators of the case. New experts also weigh in on their investigation, which included re-examining evidence with the benefit of new technology and forensic tools.

"The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey" premieres at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18 and continues at 9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19, with its conclusion at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25 on CBS Network. The three-part Dr. Phil series on KOIN (photos below) will be broadcast Sept. 12, Sept. 13 and Sept. 19 2016.

Speaking publicly on the Dr. Phil show for the first time since his younger sister JonBenét Ramsey was found dead in the family's Colorado home nearly 20 years ago, Burke Ramsey said, "I know people think I did it; that my parents did it." "I know that we were suspects," said Burke, now 29, who was 9 years old at the time of his 6-year-old sister's murder. He will talk to Dr. Phil in an exclusive three-part interview, the first part of which airs Sept.12. 

Burke and his parents, John and Patsy Ramsey,  were all cleared by authorities of involvement in the unsolved mystery that began when the body of JonBenét, a child pageant queen, was discovered in the basement of the family's home the day after Christmas in 1996. She was strangled with a cord around her neck and duct tape over her mouth. There were two red marks in her face of a stun gun. 

The parents also reported finding a ransom note demanding the curious total of $118,000 – the exact amount of a recent bonus received by John Ramsey. 
Burke and his father are the family's sole surviving members. Patsy Ramsey, then 49, died of ovarian cancer in 2006, two years before then-Boulder District Attorney Mary Lacy stated officially that nothing tied the parents to the crime. 
There have been many opinions over the years how to resolve JonBenet Ramsey Murder Mystery, and one of them came from Denver Post in 2001, while Patsy was still alive. The ex-housekeeper believed Patsy Ramsey killed JonBenet: http://rense.com/general11/benet.htm
