If CBS's docuseries The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey only managed to dole out three bombshells during its first night, it saved all the rest of them—the evidence that very clearly pointed toward one single explanation for young JonBenét's death—for night two. In the final 20 minutes of the special, the investigators who took on the 20-year-old cold case put forth their theory as to who killed the young Colorado beauty queen—but it isn't as cut and dry as "this person did it." The team, which included retired FBI supervisory special agent and profiler Jim Clemente; world-renowned forensic scientist Dr. Henry Lee; former chief investigator for the District Attorney in...

In the first trailer for CBS' new anthology docu-series, The Case of JonBenét Ramsey, investigators revisit the nearly 20-year-old murder, focusing on the frantic 911 call from the girl's mother Patsy. The operator, who took the call, says she's never been questioned by the authorities. "Twenty years, nobody asked me," the operator tearfully explains in the clip, which debuted Tuesday. "I think it would have really turned the case around." In the new clip, investigators say they plan to further analyze Patsy's call, stripping the audio and using noise reduction to find a conversation that happened when the Ramseys thought the line was disconnected.

On Tuesday, Dec. 17 (check local listings), PBS airs "How Sherlock Changed the World," a two-hour examination of the ways in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's late-19th-century fictional consulting detective Sherlock Holmes has had an impact on crime investigation right down to the present day.
Doyle's chief inspiration is believed to have been medical lecturer and forensic science pioneer Joseph Bell, whom Doyle met in 1877 when he went to work as Bell's clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in Scotland. Bell's method of using close observation and logic to come to conclusions impressed Doyle, himself a physician, who incorporated much of this into the character of Holmes.
For example, Holmes pioneered the use of ballistics, including bullet trajectory.
In the special, Jonathan Ferguson, curator of firearms for the Royal Armouries in the U.K., says, "Sherlock anticipates the abilities that modern forensic science has, that we can actually now...
