Eion Bailey will play Detective Steve Thomas in the scripted effort, who was one of the lead investigators on the case. Michael Gill and Julia Campbell also star.

Who Killed JonBenet? will follow what happened the day after Christmas in 1996, when Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the family’s Colorado basement. The movie will serve as a “fresh look” at the events and the theories surrounding Ramsey’s murder.

Lifetime plans on premiering the movie this fall, pegged to the 20th anniversary of Ramsey’s unsolved murder.
