all good things in time

Today find on the website how JonBenet's father, John Ramsey*, "is committed to seeing laws in all states requiring DNA fingerprinting so when a felony is committed there is unbiased technology that will exonerate the innocent and positively identify and convict the guilty"--

The DNA Fingerprint Project

"In the early morning hours on December 26, 1996, six year old JonBenet Ramsey was brutally murdered in her Boulder Colorado home. Before thoroughly investigating the crime, police publicly accused Patsy and John Ramsey of complicity thus resulting in years of being judged unfairly worldwide by what was printed and reported through the media.

Foreign male DNA was recovered from blood stains on JonBenet's clothing and from under her fingernails. DNA evidence was in its infancy in 1996 and used solely as a prosecutorial tool by law enforcement. Therefore the DNA evidence in JonBenet's case was virtually ignored. In 2001 the case was taken over by the new Boulder District Attorney who believed the foreign male DNA evidence was significant and should be used to investigate the crime.

By 2008 touch DNA sampling technology had advanced significantly and additional clothing of JonBenet's was examined. Those tests yielded overwhelming evidence that an unknown male had murdered JonBenet. The Boulder District Attorney immediately issued a letter acknowledging this fact, cleared Patsy and John Ramsey of any involvement, and stated she was "deeply sorry" that the Ramsey family had to endure such condemnatory public opinion.

DNA FINGERPRINT PROJECT OBJECTIVE: To enact in all states a law requiring any person arrested for a felony to be DNA fingerprinted and that DNA fingerprint to be expeditiously entered into the National CODIS databank."


*JonBenet's mom, Patsy Ramsey passed away in 2006 of ovarian cancer.
