Was the Jon Benet case ever shown after its initial airing?? I think I have seen just about every Spike / Lifetime repack and don't recall seeing it.....with it being so high profile you would think they would use it to attract new viewers

I have seen it. It's not much to write home about. It was just a short blurb, probably 5 minutes or less. I forget exactly when it aired, but it wasn't long after her body was found circa Christmas 1996, so the police weren't very far into the investigation. I think there was just speculation from a criminologist on who may have killed JonBenet and if the parents would be considered suspects.

I was excited to finally see it again, but overall it was a disappointment. I would think it was barred from syndication because it would appear very dated since there were many other developments made after this short blurb aired. Why UM didn't do a proper JonBenet segment is anyone's guess, but trust me, the existing mini-segment ain't it.

It originally aired January 31st 1997. So not long after the crime occurred. Spike did a re-do and I think its not much different than the original. As Justin said it's not much, very short and probably outdated, its been nearly 15 years.
