Boulder Police Release JonBenet Ramsey Homicide Investigation Update

BOULDER, CO — The Boulder Police Department announced Wednesday that it will consult with the Colorado Cold Case Review Team in 2023 as part of an ongoing investigation into the December 1996 death of JonBenet Ramsey.

“The amount of DNA evidence available for analysis is extremely small and complex,” the department explained. “The sample could, in whole or in part, be consumed by DNA testing.”

The Boulder Police Department added that it will continue collaborating with private DNA labs in an effort to find technology that can reliably test forensic samples recovered from the crime scene nearly 26 years ago.

“This crime has left a hole in the hearts of many, and we will never stop investigating until we find JonBenet’s killer,” Police Chief Maris Herold said. “That includes following up on every lead and working with our policing partners and DNA experts around the country to solve this tragic case. This investigation has always been and will continue to be a priority for the Boulder Police Department.”

Anyone with information related to the investigation is urged to contact authorities at 303-441-1974, BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov, or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
