Overview
- Chief Stephen Redfearn said the nearly 29-year-old homicide remains a top priority and that specifics about testing and interviews are not being released.
- Detectives collected new evidence over the past year and tested and retested existing items after receiving tips.
- Police possess unidentified DNA from under JonBenet’s fingernails and in her underwear, which remains central to current analysis.
- Redfearn has met with the Ramsey family to keep them informed and urged anyone with information to contact 303-441-1974 or BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov.
- The 1996 killing involved sexual assault, strangulation, and a skull fracture; a 1999 grand jury produced no arrest, a 2006 Thailand arrest was dropped after DNA tests, and the parents and brother were cleared in 2008.
