For the first time in nearly three decades, the father of JonBenét Ramsey says he feels confident in the leadership investigating his daughter’s murder. John Ramsey, the father of the 6-year-old beauty queen who was killed at her Boulder, Colorado, home, met with local law enforcement to advocate for a thorough review and new testing of crime scene evidence in his daughter’s case.
Ramsey expressed his satisfaction and impression with the leadership at the Boulder Police Department, saying that they are “committed to do all that can be done using the latest technology and available resources to identify the killer.” He believes that new DNA testing technology, genetic genealogy, which has been used to solve other high-profile cases, could lead to a break in the 28-year-old murder case.
Ramsey revealed that he is eager to put an end to the investigation so that his grandkids can close the chapter of their family’s tragedy. In an interview set to air, he described the profile of the killer, whom he believes was a “sick, sick person” with a “vicious, animalistic” sense of violence, and expressed frustration that the suspect has not yet been caught, despite numerous twists and turns in the case over the years.
