JonBenét Ramsey's Dad Hopes New DNA Tech Can Crack 28-Year-Old Case

Boulder, USAWed Nov 27 2024
John Ramsey, father of JonBenét Ramsey, thinks advancements in DNA technology could finally solve his daughter's mysterious murder. This shocking crime happened over 28 years ago, in 1996, when JonBenét was found dead in their Boulder, Colorado home. A ransom note with a strange demand of $118, 000, the exact amount of John's bonus, was found nearby. Police initially suspected the family, though no hard evidence linked them to the crime. The case remains unsolved, and new DNA techniques might offer a fresh chance to find the killer. JonBenét's body showed signs of a horrifying attack, including sexual assault and strangulation. Unknown DNA under her fingernails and in her underwear adds to the mystery. Despite facing suspicion themselves, the Ramseys have always maintained their innocence. A media blitz followed the case, and numerous suspects emerged, like John Mark Karr, who falsely confessed in 2006. His DNA didn't match, keeping the case open. John Ramsey hopes that DNA technology, which has solved old cases before, can shed new light. He believes tracing the family tree of the killer could lead to a breakthrough. The Boulder Police Department promises to follow every lead until the case is resolved.
