Nearly 30 years after the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey, her father, John Ramsey, expressed hope that police are on the right track to finally solve her killing. He met with the new Boulder police chief and said it was the first time in 28 years he felt the case was in good hands. The case, which saw Ramsey's parents and brother initially suspected, gained renewed attention thanks to a Netflix documentary that criticized the initial police investigation.
Nearly 30 years since the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey, her father said he has “great hope” that police are on the right track to finally solve her killing. JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old child beauty queen, was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family’s Boulder, Colorado, home in December 1996. Her murder dominated headlines and transfixed the public, but for decades has remained unsolved.
Speaking on the male DNA that was previously withheld from the district attorney's office in the case, he said: “They kept that result secret from the D.A., certainly from us. The problem that police had is it’d conflict with their conclusion the family were the killers.” The DNA was a focus of the Netflix documentary 'Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey' released late last year, which criticized Boulder police.
