JonBenét Ramsey’s father said he is hopeful that new DNA technology will lead to a break in his 6-year-old daughter’s slaying.
John Ramsey revealed to Elizabeth Vargas during a NewsNation interview that there is a strong likelihood of his daughter’s case being resolved using familial genealogy research. While authorities have not confirmed the specific use of this technology in the Ramsey case, insiders have indicated that prominent specialists are actively participating in the continuous investigative efforts.
During his appearance on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” John Ramsey also said he understood why police initially treated him and his late wife, Patsy Ramsey, as suspects.

“We were in the home. We think it’s horrible, but we accept that,” he said.
JonBenét Ramsey was found bludgeoned and strangled in the basement of her Boulder home hours after she was reported missing and a ransom note was discovered at the family’s home.
Ramsey’s father has pressed Boulder police to retest evidence with updated genetic technology to obtain new leads in their daughter’s unsolved murder. He also urged the FBI to make child murder a federal crime — allowing the agency to automatically intervene in cases involving children 12 and younger.
No arrests have been made in the 1996 slaying. Ramsey’s mother, Patsy Ramsey, died of ovarian cancer in 2006.
