The young beauty pageant queen’s case has remained cold for many years with public speculation that her parents were responsible for killing JonBenet before being officially cleared back in 2008.
The Boulder Police Department offered this statement in a news release:
“The amount of DNA evidence available for analysis is extremely small and complex. The sample could, in whole or in part, be consumed by DNA testing.”
The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office added:
“The Boulder Police Department will be consulting with the Colorado Cold Case Review Team in 2023. The Cold Case Review Team is comprised of professional investigative, analytical, and forensic experts from across the state.”
John Ramsey had requested Gov. Jared Polis move his daughter’s case from the police department to an independent agency last May.
According to Inside Edition, Ramsey stated, “Anyone who would do this to a child is just beyond sick. He may be still out there, and if he is, he’s probably killed other children. Technology has advanced so far in 25 years, that to not go back and apply the latest technology is just foolish.”
A statement from Police Chief Maris Herold read:
“This crime has left a hole in the hearts of many, and we will never stop investigating until we find JonBenet’s killer. That includes following up on every lead and working with our policing partners and DNA experts around the country to solve this tragic case. This investigation has always been and will continue to be a priority for the Boulder Police Department.”
District Attorney Michael Doughert added:
“The murder of JonBenet Ramsey is a terrible tragedy and sparked years of unanswered questions and theories. Our office has successfully prosecuted other cold case homicides and many murder cases. In every one of those cases, it was the evidence that proved the defendant(s) guilty. Whether it is DNA or other evidence, more is needed to solve this murder. I appreciate the collaboration with CBI, the FBI, and the Boulder Police Department.”
