John Ramsey Advocates for DNA Testing in Murder Case

In the ongoing investigation of the 1996 murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, her father, John Ramsey, is set to meet with Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn next month to discuss advanced DNA testing techniques. As 28 years have passed since JonBenét's body was discovered, John Ramsey emphasizes the importance of utilizing independent genetic genealogy labs to retest crime-scene evidence, particularly focusing on previously unidentified male DNA. The Boulder Police Department has committed to modernizing its investigation by digitizing case evidence and utilizing new technologies that can separate mixed DNA samples. John Ramsey expressed hope that these advancements could lead to new leads and potentially identifying a suspect. Despite the challenges, he remains determined to keep pressure on police to pursue justice for his daughter, stating, 'We’re not going to go away, folks.' The case has seen renewed interest, partly due to recent documentaries that have reignited discussions around the investigation.
