Jared Polis to allow an independent agency to test DNA in the case rather than the BPD while speaking at CrimeCon 2022 in Las Vegas, which drew thousands of guests and dozens of speakers ranging from crime victims to high-profile law enforcement figures and scientists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a shared goal to bring justice \u2014 and hopefully some peace \u2014 to JonBenet\u2019s family and everyone who was impacted by her loss,\u201d Police Chief Maris Herold said in a Sunday statement. \u201cOur investigation with federal, state and local partners has never stopped. That includes new ways to use DNA <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>. We\u2019ve always used state of the art technology as it has been at the forefront of this investigation. Every time the DNA technology changed, we worked to make sure the evidence could be tested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the murder investigation \u201chas always been and will continue to be a priority for the Boulder Police Department.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>JonBenet\u2019s mother reported her missing to police when she was 6 years old on the morning of Dec. 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado. She had discovered a lengthy ransom note demanding $118,000 in exchange for JonBenet. John Ramsey found her body later that same day in the basement of their home.<\/p>\n<p>An autopsy revealed that JonBenet died of strangulation and a blow to the head. The Boulder City Medical Examiner reported an 8 1\/2-inch fracture on her skull. Authorities have not convicted any suspects in the case.<\/p>\n<p>BPD says it has followed up on 21,016 tips, letters and emails and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ed to 19 states to interview more than a thousand individuals in connection to the murder since Dec. 26, 1996. The department has also worked in collaboration with federal, state and local agencies on the case and met with those officials as recently as March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has updated more than 750 reference samples with the latest DNA technology, the department said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsey criticized BPD for its \u201carrogance,\u201d \u201cpride,\u201d \u201cego\u201d and inexperience at the time his daughter was killed during his Saturday discussion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t let the murder of a child be left up to local police. They\u2019re just big enough that they think they know everything, and they don\u2019t,\u201d he said, adding that if the murder of a child becomes a federal offense, a case like his daughter\u2019s might be handled differently.<\/p>\n<p>The new petition, which garnered nearly 1,800 signatures as of Sunday evening, asks the governor to use his \u201cpower\u201d to intervene in the case and allow for an independent DNA analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cYou have the power,\u201d the petition reads. \u201cGiven the lack of progress by the Boulder Police, we the undersigned petitioners ask you to move DNA decisions in this case away from the BPD to an independent agency so that JonBen\u00e9t has a last chance at the justice she deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Polis did not im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely respond to Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>\u2019 request for comment, but a spokesperson for the governor\u2019s office told CBS4 Denver that the state of Colorado \u201cwill review the petition and look into how the state can assist in using new technology to further investigate this cold case and to identify JonBenet Ramsey\u2019s killer and bring him or her to justice.\u201d\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
