The murder of JonBenét Ramsey is still one of the most famous unsolved cases in the United States. Almost 30 years later, the case returned to public attention in early 2026 because of false claims spreading online.
JonBenét was reported missing from her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado, on December 26, 1996. Later that day, her body was found inside the house. Despite years of police work, no one has been charged. DNA found at the scene belonged to an unknown male, and her family was officially cleared.
In January 2026, newly released documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein led to rumors on social media. Some users claimed JonBenét appeared in a blurred photograph and suggested a connection to Epstein’s circle. These claims were shared widely but were based only on speculation.
JonBenét’s father, John Ramsey, strongly denied the rumors. Speaking to TMZ, he said there was no truth to them and pointed out how easily false stories spread online.
Police and credible sources have also rejected the claims. They confirmed there is no evidence linking JonBenét Ramsey to Jeffrey Epstein. The case remains unsolved, and investigators continue to rely on DNA evidence as the key to finding answers.
