Police Continue Evidence Testing in JonBenet Ramsey Murder Case
Almost 29 years after the tragic murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the Boulder Police Department continues to prioritize the case. Investigators are actively seeking new leads through evidence testing and by reaching out to the public for information.
Ongoing Investigation into JonBenet Ramsey Case
On December 26, 1996, the six-year-old beauty queen was found dead in her home in Boulder, Colorado. The details surrounding her death remain perplexing. Police Chief Stephen Redfearn recently emphasized the commitment to solving the case.
Recent Developments
- New evidence has been collected over the past year.
- Tests have been conducted on existing evidence.
- Updating witness interviews has been a focal point of the investigation.
Details regarding the evidence tested or individuals interviewed are not publicly disclosed. Redfearn stated that the case remains a “top priority” for the department. He emphasized the need for anyone with relevant information to step forward.
The Tragic Incident of 1996
JonBenet’s parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, discovered their daughter missing when they awoke on that fateful morning. A ransom note was found at their home, which further complicated the investigation. Tragically, hours later, JonBenet was found dead in the basement.
Medical Findings
The autopsy revealed that JonBenet had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Significant physical trauma was evident, including a fractured skull. DNA evidence found on her body has not yet led to a suspect.
Clarification of Suspects
In 2008, the Ramsey family and their son were officially cleared of suspicion in the case, but the investigation remains open. Sadly, Patsy Ramsey passed away in 2006, leaving John Ramsey and the family to seek closure.
A Call to Action
Redfearn reassured the Ramsey family of the police’s commitment to justice for JonBenet. He urged individuals with any knowledge of the crime to come forward. The Boulder police can be reached through their tip line at 303-441-1974 or via email at [email protected].
