JonBenet Ramsey case: Boulder police respond to unearthed DNA bombshell

Cross-posted to 5 groups.

An "active investigation continues" into the cold case killing of 6-year-
old JonBenet Ramsey, with help from "several private DNA laboratories," 
police in Boulder, Colorado, said in response to unearthed documents.

On Friday, Fox News Digital reported on an unearthed 1997 DNA test that 
shows DNA evidence recovered under her fingernails and clothes was not a 
match for members of the family and others close to the household just 
weeks after the crime.

The document has re-emerged as part of a trove of old case files discussed 
in a forthcoming book on late investigator Lou Smit, "Lou and JonBenet: A 
Legendary Lawman’s Quest to Solve a Child Beauty Queen’s Murder," by John 
W. Anderson.

"We recognize that many articles and books have been written about this 
tragic homicide," Boulder's public information officer, Dionne Waugh, said 
in a statement. "We have not read this newest book which, apparently, 
contains allegations from the late 1990s."

JONBENET RAMSEY CASE: NEWLY UNEARTHED DOCUMENTS REVEAL DNA DID NOT MATCH 
KEY PLAYERS EARLY IN UNSOLVED SLAYING

According to the author, the findings were given to a Boulder detective 
roughly three weeks after JonBenet's death – but he waited months before 
sharing them with prosecutors, and police spent years with the parents 
under suspicion despite the findings.

Patsy Ramsey reported her 6-year-old daughter missing on the morning of 
Dec. 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado, after discovering a ransom note 
demanding $118,000 in exchange for her return. John Ramsey found her body 
later that same day in the basement of their home.

An autopsy after JonBenet's death found she died of strangulation and a 
blow to the head. The Boulder City Medical Examiner reported an 8 1/2-inch 
fracture on her skull.

The investigation into the unsolved slaying remains active, Waugh said, 
and police are receiving outside assistance.

"At present, this active investigation continues to receive assistance 
from federal, state, and local partners," she said. "Boulder Police is 
working with multiple agencies, including the FBI, the District Attorney’s 
Office, Colorado’s Department of Public Safety, Colorado’s Bureau of 
Investigation (CBI), and several private DNA laboratories across the 
country."

Petitioners last year asked Gov. Jared Polis to have the DNA evidence 
shared with an independent agency so it can be re-examined with modern 
technology.

John Ramsey, JonBenet's father, has since met with the state's director of 
public safety, and a new review of the case began in November.

"This cold case review that they’re going to do … at first I didn't know 
how robust that was going to be, but I’ve heard several people on the team 
are very experienced homicide detectives," he told Fox News Digital last 
week.

DNA TESTING POSSIBILITIES

Boulder police say they've investigated tens of thousands of tips over the 
years and interviewed more than 1,000 people across 19 states.

Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the JonBenet 
investigation to contact 303-441-1974, 
BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers 
at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Anderson is a former El Paso County sheriff and the author of several 
books. His latest work is scheduled for publication by WildBlue Press on 
Feb. 28.
