John Ramsey has been vocal about his belief that the use of genetic genealogy, a newer DNA testing method, could help identify JonBenét's killer. He has requested that Boulder police conduct more DNA testing, which he hopes will leverage this advanced technology to solve the nearly three-decade-old case.The renewed attention to the case has been partly due to a Netflix docuseries titled "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey?" which revisits the early stages of the investigation and highlights the overlooked aspects of the crime. This media attention has brought the case back into the public eye, further pressuring authorities to re-investigate using modern forensic techniques.John Ramsey has also been working closely with director Joe Berlinger on the docuseries, aiming to pressure the Boulder police to test the DNA evidence found at the crime scene.
