The father of JonBenét Ramsey has threatened to sue CBS over a documentary that claims his son Burke killed the six-year-old beauty pageant queen. The threat comes from L Lin Wood, the family's lawyer, who described the documentary's accusations as 'false' and 'disgusting'.
JonBenét Ramsey was found dead in her family's Boulder, Colorado home on 26 December 1996. A ransom note was discovered alongside her body, but no one has ever been prosecuted for her murder, despite intense public speculation.
CBS's documentary, The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey, reportedly concludes that Burke Ramsey accidentally killed his sister, and that their parents covered up the death. The network defended its broadcast, stating: 'CBS stands by the broadcast and will do so in court.'
Wood, however, claimed the documentary is filled with 'lies, misrepresentations, distortions and omissions' and falsely accuses Burke. He noted that the conclusions contradict those of official investigators.
