Man Held in Slaying of JonBenet Ramsay

I still come back to how compromised the scenes were right from the very beginning. Her father found her, picked her up, and brought her upstairs. They all hugged her - the police officer on duty did NOTHING to stop people from coming in or touching the body.

I'm not familiar with this new type of DNA, but why aren't the father's, the mother's, the brother's DNA on the outside of her clothing? If it's as simple as a touch, wouldn't she have picked up the skin cells from sitting on a place where someone else left their own DNA?

The DNA evidence has nothing to do with the signs of previous abuse, either. That's a little scary.

This investigation was so messed up from the very beginning, I still have a hard time buying anything that the Boulder Police are selling. With one exception: if the Ramseys truly had nothing to do with the abuse and murder of their daughter (who would now be what, 17?), then I feel a deep sympathy for them.
