JonBenét Ramsey’s father thinks the case ‘may still be solved’ – here’s what was found at the crime scene

The murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey on Christmas Day in 1996 remains one of the most famous unsolved cases of the past fifty years. The child beauty queen was strangled to death and sexually assaulted and her body was found by her father John Ramsay in the basement of the house the family lived in just hours after her mother Patsy Ramsey called police to report a ransom note found at . the bottom of a staircase on the morning of December 26, 1996.

Netflix new documentary Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey investigates not only the case, but the reasons why it has remained unsolved until now. And while the reasons are varied and include serious misconduct in the investigation by the police and the fact that at the time he found her body, her father still believed she was alive so he quickly untied her and moved her, all these years later, the family still hopes they can find the killer.

At the time of the murder, both JonBenét’s parents Patsy and John and her brother Burke, then 9, were considered suspects. Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey doesn’t have any new answers, but it seems to make it clear that whatever happened to the little girl, her family wasn’t involved. Ironically, since her family was the focus of the police investigation at the time, it leaves many stones unturned when it comes to who could have actually killed JonBenét Ramsey.

“What we’re advocating — and have been aggressively doing for the last year or so — is that we know there are five or six items that were taken from the crime scene. They were sent into a lab for DNA sampling and was not taken out,” said John Ramsey in the Netflix documentary. “We want these items tested. We want what has been tested to be tested again. Then use the public genealogy database to look for – not just a match – but a similar relative,” he added. “It has been used with great success in the last few years by police departments to find the killer of very old cold cases.”

But what is the actual evidence in JonBenét Ramsey? Are there pictures from the crime scene? Here’s everything we know about what police found at the scene.
