Did JonBenét Ramsey's Police Sit on the DNA for 30 Years?

About

The unknown man's DNA in the JonBenét Ramsey case went into the FBI's database of arrested and convicted people in December 2003, and it has never matched anyone. In January 2025, the Ramsey family learned the DNA had never been through genetic genealogy, which compares crime scene DNA with relatives on family-tree websites.

Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn told ABC in November 2026 the department could be limited to a single shot at that testing. John Ramsey says the weapon used in JonBenét's murder was among six or seven items that came back from labs untested at the start. Former Denver DA Mitch Morrissey said in October 2025 that the 1997 sample is a 50-50 mixture of two people. I walk from the 1997 lab result to the 2008 touch DNA test that matched the same unknown man. JonBenét's brother Burke said in November 2026, "It's been 30 years and enough is enough."
