JonBenét Ramsey’s Father Reveals Chilling New Concerns Over DNA Evidence That Could Rewrite the Case
So, picture this: years after a heartbreaking tragedy, new doubts swirl around the DNA testing in JonBenét Ramsey’s murder case—all thanks to a forensic analyst admitting to messing around with the data. John Ramsey is understandably raising eyebrows and questions about whether everything was on the up-and-up when it came to solving his daughter’s murder. Now, when a former Colorado Bureau of Investigation analyst pleads guilty to cybercrime and perjury for tweaking DNA evidence over nearly two decades, you can bet this shakes the foundations of dozens—no, hundreds—of cases. It’s like discovering your favorite detective show was actually just a game of Clue played by professionals who occasionally fudged the cards. John’s pushing hard for fresh genetic testing using the latest forensic techniques, hoping for the breakthrough that’s eluded the case for decades. But here’s the kicker—despite new tests being done, he still hasn’t heard a peep about the results, and that silence? It’s deafening. Makes you wonder—how many more secrets lurk in those cold cases where justice might still be waiting in the wings? LEARN MORE
John Ramsey has raised concerns about how DNA testing in his daughter’s murder was handled, after a forensic analyst admitted to manipulating data.
Earlier this week, Yvonne ‘Missy’ Woods, a former forensic analyst with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, pleaded guilty to charges of cybercrime, perjury, attempting to influence a public servant, and forgery after being accused of manipulating DNA data over 18 years.
Woods’ case has thrown the validity of hundreds of cases into doubt, after investigators said the 65-year-old intentionally left DNA samples out of tests or reports and would sometimes retest samples until she got the results she wanted.
Now, John Ramsey has said the trial has raised further questions about how his daughter’s murder case was handled.

Six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found dead in the basement of her home on 26 December, 1996. The family had initially reported her as missing after a ransom note was found on the stairs of their home.
Despite Woods working at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation in 1996, there is currently no evidence that she tampered with any of the evidence in the Ramsey case, as her known misconduct is linked to 58 investigations between 2008 and 2023.
However, the case has reignited concerns held by the Ramsey family, with John telling NewsNation that a number of items from the crime scene were not tested.
“We did know that a number of items from the crime scene were sent in for testing, and a number were not tested,” he told the outlet.
“We always kind of wondered why. I mean, items that should have been sampled, but they weren’t, I don’t know whether it was a cost issue or they already found unidentified male DNA, so why go any further.”

John then went on to reiterate his plea for forensic genetic genealogy (FGG), a type of testing which compares samples to genealogy databases, in his daughter’s case.
“We’ve advocated for a year almost that we use forensic genetic genealogy, FGG, which is kind of the latest tool that’s out there,” he said.
“You have to go to an outside lab, but it’s got to be one that knows how to do it.”
Last year, John revealed that new testing was being done on evidence from the crime scene, hoping that it would finally identify his daughter’s killer.
When asked for an update on the testing, John revealed that he’s yet to hear any results.
“They won’t tell us what the results, if any, were of the latest testing done by somebody. So, yeah, that’s a concern. And it’s not using the latest technology,” Ramsey said, adding that he was considering petitioning to have evidence sent to other labs.
