Recently, John Ramsey, the father of JonBenet Ramsey, had a meeting with Boulder Police Department Chief Stephen Redfearn regarding the 1996 unsolved murder of his 6-year-old daughter.
It has been 28 years since JonBenet was discovered strangled and beaten to death in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado, on December 26, 1996, with the perpetrator still unidentified.
“The Boulder PD confirmed that Chief Redfearn and members of the Operations Division had a meeting with the family to provide updates on the case, as they have done in the past,” mentioned a spokesperson from the Boulder PD to Fox News Digital. “Due to the ongoing nature of the homicide investigation, we are unable to address specific inquiries.”
John Ramsey told Fox News Digital about his plans to meet with Redfearn in December and noted that he meets with Boulder police at least once per year to discuss updates in the case.
“DNA is pretty complicated stuff. I have learned that,” Ramsey said, “but that’s the reason that needs to be retested. That’s the one step that we’re asking the police to do is engage one of these one or two cutting-edge labs in the world and see what we come up with … and we come up empty-handed, then I’ll say, ‘Thank you. You tried. That’s the best we can do right now with today’s technology. Thank you.’ But until we do that, we haven’t done everything that could be done.”

Officials have sorted through 2,500 pieces of evidence and approximately 40,000 reports with more than a million pages documenting the investigation. The Colorado Cold Case Review team has also provided BPD with a list of tips for the department to pursue, according to Redfearn.
