It’s the story that shocked a nation and continues to captivate audiences nearly 30 years later. “20/20” reports on the unsolved murder of the 6-year-old pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey, who authorities found murdered on Christmas Day inside her Boulder, Colorado, home as law enforcement continues to search for answers. “Forever Young: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?” airs FRIDAY, DEC. 13 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EST) on ABC and streaming next day on Hulu.

John Ramsey, the 81-year-old father of JonBenét, sits down with “Nightline” co-anchor Byron Pitts for an all-new interview reflecting on his daughter’s tragic death and the decades of suspicion that have followed both John and his late wife Patsy, despite having been cleared by authorities, and revealing what he would say to JonBenét today. Ramsey also shares his thoughts on what he thinks police need to do right now to identify the killer. “20/20” also includes rare interviews from the vault, including never-before-seen footage of anchor Barbara Walters’ interview with John and Patsy Ramsey, filmed just months after JonBenét’s death.

With a recent resurgence of public interest, Colorado law enforcement says it is doubling down on efforts to finally solve this case with the help of new DNA technology, investigation techniques and evidence, hoping to answer the question finally: Who killed JonBenét?
