John 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."Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? More than 24 years later, authorities are still trying to answer that question.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Gov. Jared Polis said"The State will review the petition and look into how the state can assist in using new technology to further investigate this cold case and to identify JonBenet Ramsey's killer." The statement did not address the involvement of Boulder police. "We have a shared goal to bring justice-and hopefully some peace-to JonBenet's family and everyone who was impacted by her loss," Police Chief Maris Herold said in the statement.
