More DNA Tests Ordered in JonBenet Ramsey Case
Did you read the latest news that D.A. Stan Garnett is going to test DNA again in the Ramsey case?
I’m thrilled to hear that!
I don’t know if they are going to do traditional DNA testing or more “touch” DNA, but at least they aren’t standing by the former D.A. Mary Lacy, who declared the Ramseys were cleared in 2009 because the trace or “touch” DNA found on JonBenet’s leggings didn’t match anyone in the family.
I told you back then I felt that was “reckless” of the D.A. and now the results are finally coming out!
News agencies are saying that the report given to Lacy about the “touch” DNA from the lab didn’t even support her conclusions!
And furthermore, they weren’t even sure they had the DNA of one person, meaning multiple DNA segments may have been gathered erroneous and assumed to be one single profile! You can read more here.
I smelled a rat back then and I was right.
Read my thoughts in the comment section here and in the post here:
I knew there were too many inconsistencies in the Ramsey family to vindicate them. Period. And I knew “touch” DNA could easily be transferred if it was just “skin cells”.
In JonBenet Ramsey’s case, the DNA on her underwear could have come from kids at the party the night before her murder which she inadvertently transferred there herself! We can’t rule that out.
Kids touch everything!!
According to this article, the average person sheds 40,000 skin cells an hour!!
Imagine how cells would transfer among a group of children playing in just one hour and think about how far they could travel!
Hence, you cannot exclude someone because their “touch” DNA wasn’t found on a source! It’s illogical.
Until we understand “touch” DNA better, we need to be careful!!!
Anyway, I am so happy the truth is coming out more that the “Ramseys” are not officially cleared! It’s about time!! Though I think the Ramseys haven’t build anyone’s confidence over the years by their behavior.
I never believed we have gotten the truth from them from day one!
