Comments
Echoing the other comments - you should 100% believe that this case was MASSIVE, its universally a household name in the UK, absolutely notorious. A defining news story of the 2000s. It felt like it barely left the papers for years. I hadn't heard of Jonbenet till your podcast. I think they are at least equivalent between the continents

2026-01-02 16:26:08 +0000 UTCYeah, this pops back up every now and then in Europe (Finland). I've known and followed the story since the beginning. Just about everybody in their forties or up knows the story. I had never heard about Jonbenet Ramsey. Just a little reminder, that America is not the world :). Nice to have this covered. Thank you Humberto and Kirk!
