Overview

• Dozens of evidence items are undergoing DNA testing at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, including some never previously analyzed, according to JonBenét’s brother after a meeting with Boulder’s police chief.
• The renewed testing stems from proposals by a Colorado Cold Case Review Team formed in 2023 to jump-start the investigation with updated forensic methods.
• John Ramsey launched a petition urging Colorado lawmakers to create a state right for families to request independent cold-case reviews, modeled on federal law.
• Ramsey asked President Donald Trump to press Colorado authorities to adopt investigative genetic genealogy and said he is willing to help raise funds for that work.
• Boulder Police say they have pursued more than 21,016 tips and continue to work with DNA experts, while a former family attorney called for analysis of the garrote knots as a potential source of probative DNA.
