PETITION: JUSTICE FOR JonBenét Ramsey *SIGN* *SHARE* *SIGN* *SHARE*



PLEASE- Sign the petition to get the DNA in this case sent to an independent lab for genetic genealogy testing!  IT IS TIME!  


https://www.change.org/justiceforJBR

PLEASE HELP! 

 25 years ago, six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was killed in her Boulder, Colorado home.

 
The ensuing years have brought false investigative starts, wild conspiracy theories, and a seemingly infinite number of accusations against nearly everyone involved with the case.
 
The one thing the years have not brought is an arrest.
 
JonBenét Ramsey deserves justice and new advances in DNA technology finally make that possible. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, you are the only person with enough power and independence in the state to put Ramsey DNA testing decisions in the hands of a new agency that’s free from Boulder’s significant history with the case.
 
Since her death in 1996, advances in DNA have allowed for testing of even trace amounts of severely degraded samples. Combined with innovation in forensic genetic genealogy (which led to the arrest of the Golden State Killer), new arrests and identifications in cold cases are happening across the country at an unprecedented rate. Private labs like Othram use best-in-class technology to work directly with law enforcement and state crime labs to support the processing of samples. In fact, earlier this year, police in Denver (less than 30 miles away) used genetic genealogy and familial DNA to solve four homicides from the early 1980s.
 
So why is new DNA testing technology and forensic genetic genealogy searching not being used in the JonBenét case? Here’s what the Boulder Police (BPD) posted on the 25-year anniversary of the case:
 
“As the Department continues to use new technology to enhance the investigation, it is actively reviewing genetic DNA testing processes to see if those can be applied to this case moving forward.”
 
They can. Right now. Everyone who understands this technology knows that.
 
Boulder Police are working hard to placate the public by telling the media that they hope DNA will solve this case while, at the same time, doing very little to make that happen. And it makes sense: the same two key investigators from 1996 still have control of the case.  Isn’t it time for new perspectives and ideas?
 
In short, justice for JonBenét has seemingly given way to politics and the massaging of egos. She deserves better. Everyone, from the police to the family, should have a vested interest in finding the truth. The fact that those with the ability to do that are not doing it should tell us everything we need to know.
 
Governor Polis, you were born in Boulder 15 years before JonBenét. You have a connection to the city. Your intervention in the Colorado truck driver case shows you have compassion. You have the power. Given 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 JonBenét has a last chance at the justice she deserves.

5 STARS: Book Review: Wretched by John David Bethel

 





When the monster is murdered, who will work to bring the killer to justice when faced with a wall of silent approval?

Wretched delivers the disturbing high paced realism that John David Bethel is known for, pitting law enforcement and the FBI on the side of justice, even for a dangerous chronic bully like Ken Plough.  What unfolds is a story of investigation in an Iowan town, fraught with obstacles that gradually reveals a daringly complex tale that rivals true crime stories on serial killers, leaving you obsessed as you try to figure out who is kidnapping the missing women.  I highly recommend Wretched to anyone who enjoys true crime. Based on true events! This is my kind of novel!
