I'm Rebecca Lavoie, and this is You Can't Make This Up.

You Can't Make This Up is the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind your favorite Netflix documentaries and films.

On today's episode, we take a closer look at the Netflix documentary series, Cold Case,

Who Killed Jean-Beney?

It was a case that people couldn't stop talking about.

Today, we're talking to director and executive producer, Joe Berlinger.

Who Killed-Bin-A-Ramsey, dives back into the infamous crime, its troubled investigation, the media firestorm, and the lingering cloud of suspicion over the young victim's parents.
