JonBenét, a child beauty queen, was reported missing from her family's home in Boulder the morning of Dec. 26, 1996, by her mother. According to reports, a mysterious ransom note was found demanding $118,000 in exchange for the girl's safe return. FOX13
John Bennett, the girls father, found her body in the basement of the family home the same day she was reported missing. The girl had been brutally beaten, strangled and had signs of sexual assault.
The parents eventually received allegations from the public that they had killed their daughter and covered up the murder before they were both cleared in 2008 by police when DNA of an unidentified party was found on JonBenét’s pajama pants. Ramsey said he wants DNA evidence that was never tested before to be transferred away from Boulder police to a different agency,"Somehow we’ve got to force the police, or take it away from them, the ability to go ahead and test some of the crime scene evidence that was never tested for DNA," he said. "Why that’s never been done and will never be done by the police baffles me.
Meanwhile, the Boulder Police Department said it has been working with state law enforcement agencies and the FBI, on the investigation and that DNA from the case is regularly checked for any new matches.
