JonBenét Ramsey’s father reportedly met with Colorado police on Monday regarding his daughter’s unsolved 1996 slaying.
Boulder police told Fox News that Police Chief Stephen Redfearn and the Operations Division met with Ramsey’s family regarding updates in the case. However, police declined to provide specifics as to what was discussed.
John Ramsey, 80, said he meets with police at least once yearly to be briefed on their ongoing investigation.
JonBenét Ramsey, 6, was found bludgeoned and strangled in the basement of her Boulder home hours after she was reported missing and a ransom note was discovered at her residence.
John Ramsey has pressed Boulder police to retest evidence with updated genetic technology to obtain new leads in their daughter’s unsolved murder. He also urged the FBI to make child murder a federal crime — allowing the agency to automatically intervene in cases involving children 12 and younger.
Specifically, John Ramsey wants investigators to test external male DNA that federal authorities disclosed in 1997.
“That’s an important meeting. We’re going to have a representative with us for one of these cutting-edge labs to explain what they can and can’t do. Hopefully, he will accept their help,” he told Fox last year, referring to a meeting he was to have with Boulder police in December.
No arrests have been made in the 1996 slaying. The slain girl’s mother, Patsy Ramsey, died of ovarian cancer in 2006.
