For the first time in nearly three decades, the father of JonBenét Ramsey says he feels confident in the leadership investigating his daughter’s 1996 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 Monday afternoon to advocate for a thorough review and new testing of crime scene evidence in his daughter’s case. Ramsey told CNN he would ask Boulder police to do more DNA testing to help solve the 28-year-old murder case using genetic genealogy, a newer technology that’s been used to solve high-profile cold cases such as the Golden State Killer. After his meeting, Ramsey told CNN, “I’m very satisfied and impressed with the leadership now in place (at the Boulder Police Department) and believe they are committed to do all that can be done using the latest technology and available resources to identify the killer. That is all we can ask for.” Ramsey says he believes Boulder officials are “continuing to move the investigation forward using all available tools and certainly DNA is a significant tool which I also believe has a high probability of identifying the killer.” CNN reached out to Boulder police for comment following the meeting.
