JonBenet Ramsey
Boulder police are conducting a new round of interviews related to the
1996 JonBenet Ramsey homicide based on recommendations from an advisory
committee that met in 2009 and pored over all the evidence.
Burke Ramsey, JonBenet's older brother who was 9 at the time of the
homicide, is among the people who have been contacted recently by Boulder
police, according to Lin Wood, attorney for the Ramsey family.
"I understand that they met with Burke and gave him a card and said, 'If
you want to talk to us, here's how you would contact me,'" Wood said. "But
the police have not interviewed Burke."
Wood said he's sure the police contact has nothing to do with any new
investigation of Burke Ramsey or his father, John Ramsey. Burke Ramsey was
officially cleared as a possible suspect in May 1999, Wood said, and the
whole family was exonerated by then-District Attorney Mary Lacy in 2008.
"Whatever the reason for any type of approach with Burke, it would have
nothing to do with the case other than with the reality that John and
Burke could help the Boulder police as witnesses in the investigation,"
Wood said. "For all I know, they have gotten some tip and think Burke
could give them some information."
Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner wouldn't reveal details about the
investigation, including whom police have contacted.
"We continue to work the Ramsey case and have tailored our investigation
based on recommendations from our 2009 advisory committee," Beckner said.
"This has included additional contacts and interviews with those who may
have information pertinent to the case."
The advisory committee met after the Boulder Police Department took the
lead in the Ramsey investigation back from the Boulder County District
Attorney's Office in February 2009.
The 20-some person group, which included veteran investigators from
several state and federal agencies, met for two days to review all the
evidence. The goal was to explore all possible theories about what
happened the night JonBenet was killed.
The 6-year-old beauty queen was found dead Dec. 26, 1996, in the family's
home at 755 15th St. At the time, Boulder investigators said the girl's
parents were under an "umbrella of suspicion," but a grand jury ended an
investigation into the case with no indictments.
Scott Robinson, a Denver defense attorney and legal analyst, said it would
be premature to assume that police have new information in the
investigation just because they're contacting people connected to the
case.
"But it would be absolutely accurate to say they're not letting this case
lie," he said. "They are attempting to re-interview people, and sometimes
when you interview people years later, you get information that leads to a
trail that leads to a suspect that leads to an arrest."
