JonBenet Ramsey: New Evidence

48 hours on CBS tonight will reveal new DNA evidence pointing to an intruder in the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

An investigator at Denver's police crime lab for forensics says DNA found at the Ramsey murder scene came from a male who was not associated with the case, thus ruling out family members as well as a convicted sex offender in Boulder who had been mentioned as a suspect.

Would you believe that a similar incident happened to another young girl in Boulder less than a year after JonBenet's murder and the police never connected the dots between the two incidents, even though the two attended the same dance school?

The other victim, investigators say, was a little girl identified as "Amy," who took dance lessons at the same school as JonBenet, and was attacked and sexually assaulted at night in her bedroom on Sept. 14, 1997.

John and Patsy Ramsey were treated like criminals for six years. The public and the media lynch mob criticized everything about them, from the way they behaved to their "lawyering up." Even Governor Owens criticized them for "hiding behind their lawyers." Put yourselves in the Ramseys' shoes. Your cherished daughter has just been murdered. Instead of being able to grieve, every move you make is met with criticism. The police label you as being "under the umbrella of suspicion" and stop searching elsewhere for the killer of your daughter. You are fodder for the cable TV talk shows night after night. Watching talk show hosts like Dan Abrams and Geraldo Rivera now admit the Ramseys did not kill their daughter brings some measure of satisfaction to those of us, myself included, who defended the Ramseys on their shows night after night. An apology from the Boulder police, the media, and the public would be even better. People sometimes fail to realize that when the wrong person is accused, the real killer remains at large and likely will strike again. Shortly after JonBenet's murder, Boulder's then-Mayor Leslie Durgin told the public:

"People in Boulder have no need to fear there is someone wandering the streets of Boulder looking for someone to attack. Boulder is safe,'' she said.

She was wrong. If you live in Boulder, you better lock your doors at night. Unless he's moved, a killer is among you.

i'm sorry but, any normal mother or father who realized there child was missing would have searched that mansion top to bottom leaving no place unchecked before calling the police and the fact that there were no foot prints outside the front of the house means nobody went outside to look for jonbenet its only after the police have been in the house for an hour does john run down to the basement and finds little jonbenet that action alone stinks to high heaven however on saying that i do not think john & patsy killed there little girl but they certainly know did and so do the cops

i think they need to look at the housekeeper and her husband alittle more,they had no albi and knew that house. doent really take brains,so the dna didnt match thats one thing out of a million.. thats my thoughts..

Come on!!!! someone just get this man and put the little angel jonbenet to rest. im very disappointed that was is or was little evidence in this case, how stupid can you be? its like no one even bothered. Seriously how does it take 10 years to find someone or to get evidence on someone? to even have a suspect and MAKE IT THE RIGHT ONE!! it was a waste of time with mark karr, you could tell everything that man or sicko said was a lie. The police really need to open there eyes on this one, or are they seriously that stupid.They compair the jonbenet case to jack the ripper please does anyone have a brain, The jack the ripper case was years and years ago before most peoples time do you think the police had the technology that you have today to solving crimes? NO they didnt... the only reason they are compairing it is because the police in jack the ripper couldnt get him because like i said didnt have the smarts to and the same with jonbenet's case.... come on point the finger at more people and waste time again. for all we know this person could still be doing it....

why don't psychic detectives get involved on the Jon Benet Ramsey murder case.This criminal may still be at large seeking out other little girls.It could be any of our children.This person needs to be bought to justice and punished.He or she may need the assistance of a psychiatrist.All i know is he should be off the streets.

New Evidence in JonBenet Ramsey Case It will be 8 years next week that JonBenet Ramsey was murdered and the crime remains unsolved. But, there is new evidence, pointing to an intruder, and evidence that the killer may have tried to strike again, in Boulder, but...
