New DNA Tests Clear Parents, Brother of JonBenet Ramsey

This is an ongoing unsolved murder mystery that we in Colorado have been following for over 11 years:

According to KNBC.com, "Citing new DNA tests, prosecutors on Wednesday cleared JonBenet Ramsey's parents and brother in the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old beauty queen and apologized to the family for casting the cloud of suspicion that hung over them for more than a decade.

"Colorado TV station KUSA reported the announcement Wednesday afternoon. The Denver station also reported that the newly discovered evidence does not match anyone in the law enforcement database to the slaying.

"'My first thought was obviously I wish Patsy Ramsey was here with us [she died of ovarian cancer in 2006] to be able to at least share vindication of her family,' said L. Lin Wood, an attorney for the Ramsey family.

"'There are many people in this country, if not around the world, that also owe John and Patsy Ramsey and Burke Ramsey (their son) an apology,' he said.
