JonBenet Ramsey, the six-year-old girl whose mysterious murder captivated the nation nearly 29 years ago, continues to remain unsolved, and the Boulder Police Department is committed to bringing justice to her case. On the heels of their annual update on the investigation, Police Chief Stephen Redfearn reaffirmed that this case is a high priority for the department.
JonBenet was found dead under tragic circumstances in the basement of her home on December 26, 1996, prompting widespread media coverage and intense public interest. Her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, became focal points in numerous interviews as the story unfolded. Over the years, various individuals have claimed to have committed the crime, but these confessions have been dismissed due to lack of credible evidence.

The department is also pursuing new evidence while re-evaluating existing pieces through advanced DNA testing techniques. “Techniques and technology constantly evolve. This is especially true with technology related to DNA testing,” he stated, highlighting the department’s commitment to utilizing all available resources to solve the case.
The police also encourage anyone with information to come forward as they continue their search for answers. Those willing to assist in the investigation can contact the Boulder Police Department via email at BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov or by calling their tipline at 303-441-1974.
