A missing beauty queen. A mysterious family. Secrets of stones that have never been flipped. Questions rise and someone is guilty, but won’t confess so this horrific crime. JonBenet Ramsey was a beautiful girl known for her hair done up and a full face of makeup, she was even buried in her pageant dress.
