JonBenét Ramsey ’s father, John Ramsey , still believes there’s a chance her murder will be solved nearly three decades later after a DNA breakthrough.
“We are encouraged that the police will finally use the FBI’s skills and resources to help solve our case,” John, 81, told The U.S. Sun on Thursday, December 26, which marked the 28th anniversary of JonBenét’s death.
John plans to have a sit-down with new chief of Boulder Police Stephen Redfearn about the case. They specifically will discuss recruiting the FBI to help and using new DNA testing to narrow down their suspect list.
“Suppose they now use cutting-edge DNA labs to develop a DNA profile in the proper format for familial genealogy research,” John noted. “In that case, we have pretty good odds of finding the killer’s identity.”
