The brother of murdered child beauty pageant star JonBenet Ramsey is suing CBS and TV producers for $750 million for being implicated in her death.

Burke Ramsey claims his reputation was damaged by a miniseries dubbed "The Case of JonBenet Ramsey." The series that aired in September suggests Burke Ramsey killed his six-year-old sister in 1996, he alleges.

JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in the basement of her family home in Boulder, Colorado, on Boxing Day 1996. She died from a blow to the head and strangulation. No one has been charged with the killing of the case after police have since collected and studied thousands of pieces of evidence. Burke Ramsey and parents John and Patsy were all cleared by prosecutors in 2008 based on DNA evidence. Patsy, herself a one-time pageant queen, died from cancer in 2006.
