It’s been more than 28 years since six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found murdered in her Boulder, Colorado, home. Despite countless investigations, the case remains unsolved. Her father, John Ramsey, has never stopped pushing for answers. Now, he’s taking another step forward, meeting with police in a renewed effort to bring his daughter’s killer to justice.
Inside the Meeting with Boulder Police
John Ramsey recently sat down with Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn and other key members of the department. He wasn’t alone—he was joined by an expert from an independent genetic genealogy research lab. His goal? To push for advanced DNA testing on crime scene evidence, something he believes could be the breakthrough investigators need.
After the meeting, Ramsey sounded hopeful. “I’m very satisfied and impressed with the leadership now in place at the Boulder Police Department. I believe they’re committed to doing everything they can with the latest technology and resources to find JonBenét’s killer. That’s all we can ask for.”
Could DNA Technology Finally Crack the Case?
One of the biggest pushes from Ramsey’s side is the use of genetic genealogy—a powerful tool that has helped solve other high-profile cold cases, like the Golden State Killer. By analyzing DNA evidence and tracing family connections, this technique has led to long-awaited arrests in cases once thought impossible to solve. Ramsey is convinced it could do the same for Benét.
Police Response: Still an Active Investigation
Boulder Police confirmed the meeting, emphasizing that the case remains open. “Chief Redfearn and members of our Operations Division met with the family this week, as the department has previously, to share updates on the case,” a police spokesperson said. While they didn’t reveal specific details, they assured the public that they are still actively investigating.
What’s Next?
For John Ramsey, the fight isn’t over. He wants law enforcement to use every tool available to find out who killed his daughter. “We just want the killer identified,” he said. “That’s all we’ve ever wanted.”
Could this meeting lead to a long-awaited breakthrough? Only time will tell.
