JONBENET RAMSEY

The father of JonBenet Ramsey is supporting an online petition asking Colorado’s governor to intervene in the investigation into her death more than 25 years ago by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing.

Dick Kelsey, a retired Associated Press broadcast editor who was revered as much for his humor as his hardworking nature, has died after a seven-year battle with cancer.

Twenty-five years after JonBenet Ramsey was killed, police say they are looking at “genetic DNA testing” to see if it can be used to help solve the case. The 6-year-old was found dead in the basement of her family’s Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996, bludgeoned and strangled, several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note had been left behind. Boulder police have been working closely with state investigators on “future DNA advancements," the department said in a statement Monday addressing the anniversary of JonBenet’s death.
