John Bennett Ramsey, father of JonBenét Ramsey, plans to meet with Boulder Police in January to advocate for using advanced DNA testing technology in the unsolved case of his daughter’s murder. Working alongside experts from a leading DNA lab, Ramsey is pushing for modern methods that could separate mixed DNA samples found at the 1996 crime scene. JonBenét’s blood, mixed with DNA from an unidentified male, has long been a barrier to identifying a suspect, but Ramsey believes new technologies and familial genealogy research could yield breakthroughs.
JonBenét, a six-year-old beauty pageant contestant, was found dead in her family’s Colorado home hours after being reported missing on Christmas night in 1996. Despite decades of investigation, the case remains unsolved. Ramsey has recently ramped up public pressure, including appearances in a Netflix documentary and calling out police on national platforms, urging them to intensify their efforts and collaborate with independent labs.
Ramsey’s persistence has caught the attention of authorities, who appear willing to continue discussions. He hopes these efforts will finally bring justice and closure to one of the most notorious cold cases in modern history.
