What to Watch on Friday: ’20/20’ airs a new ‘Who Killed JonBenet?’ special
20/20: The List: Who Killed JonBenét? (9 p.m., ABC) - A two-hour 20/20 special provides new insight into the 1996 murder of 6-year-old child beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey inside her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. The special boasts an exclusive network premiere of the video diaries of detective Lou Smit, who spent the latter part of his life trying to prove the Ramsey family’s innocence. In Smit’s video diaries he reveals his theories about what happened the night JonBenét died and his belief that DNA will ultimately expose the killer. The special includes interviews with Lexi Marra and Jessa Van Der Woerd, Smit’s granddaughters, who talk about the list of potential suspects their grandfather left behind, as well as his confidence that one of the names on the list is indeed JonBenét’s killer. We also get the first TV interview with John Andrew Ramsey, JonBenét’s half-brother, and archival interviews with the Ramsey family, detectives and more.

Fox), Jessica observes Paul fighting with another woman, and with the help of Sandra and Hal (Eric Roberts), discovers Paul is not who he seems.
