DNA Exoneration, Burke Ramsey, and the CBS Controversy

In 2008, newly elected DA Mary Lacey commissioned DNA testing on evidence from the crime scene. The results identified one or possibly two unidentified males as the source of the DNA — definitively ruling out the entire Ramsey family. This formally exonerated not only John and the late Patsy but also Burke, who had already been cleared by child psychologists early in the investigation. Despite this, CBS produced a 2016 documentary speculating that the then-9-year-old Burke committed the murder. Ramsey notes that Boulder Police actually offered to support the Ramsey family's lawsuit against CBS to debunk the accusation. Burke won the suit — the settlement amount was not disclosed. Ramsey is visibly frustrated by armchair theorists who continue to target his son.
JonBenét's body was not discovered until roughly 7 hours after Patsy Ramsey's 911 call, found by John Ramsey himself after police failed to search the house.
Seven months after JonBenét's murder, a man dressed in black entered a 12-year-old neighbor's bedroom in the middle of the night and sexually assaulted her. Her mother heard muffled sounds, grabbed pepper spray, and the man jumped out a second-floor window. Boulder PD refused to investigate any connection to JonBenét's case.
