Third, why kill the child there, amongst their very family and home where you could be caught, along with the reason you just wrote the note was to get the "ransom"?
Well, I quess you'd have to get inside the mind of a criminal. An outsider would want to cast doubt on the family and choose their risks. Wouldn't they? Sociopaths and pedophiles are clever. Whoever did this had no previous criminal history. The DNA under JonBenets fingernails had no match in the police database, of course DNA not necessarily from the perpetrator.

Do they run that DNA through their database periodically to see if a match shows up?
The 20 yr old half brother from Johns first marriage was in the home. I've never seen him addressed as suspect.
Yes, I believe he was ruled up fairly soon in the case. Haven't looked up the info on that in a long time - this is just from memory.
A lot of folks had speculated that he could have been the perpetrator and people still mention him on other crime forums as someone they suspected.
I never thought that was likely.
I think this is a case of someone who had watched the Ramseys for a long time, was obsessed with JonBenet, and knew the Ramseys were gonna be at a party that nite . . . take it from there. Stranger things have happened.
Once a case is closed, I don't know. Is the case still open?
I don't know if the case is open or not......but I would think with such a high profile case......and LE bungling the original investigation......that they would run that DNA through the data base at least once every 6-12 months.
I would think LE everywhere would periodically run DNA in all cases similar to Jon Benet's.......since pedophiles rarely victimize only one child.
I know if I was John Ramsey, and I was innocent, I would be pitching a fit if they didn't.
It is still open. I just read an article that stated they are periodically checking the DNA registries.
That is good to know. Thank you.
My previous post.....ummm.....nevermind.
