Yesterday was the 20th Anniversary of the JonBenet Ramsey murder.  To this day this heinous crime remains one of the most perplexing and closely followed cases known to society, and assuming it is ever solved it will garner the attention of most of the world.  In light of that, it should not be surprising to anyone that there are an impressive number of people and organizations who not only follow the case, but also have strong opinions on what happened, how the investigation was carried out and what the motives may have been for the various people involved in JonBenet’s life at the time – all of whom have been considered as possible suspects.  Needless to say theories abound but there are those that have legitimate analysis of the case and are more than worth considering.

With that in mind we are re-posting the latest mention of the case by our friend Alice of Defrosting Cold Cases, whom we consider one of the foremost experts in analyzing cold cases.  If this case were ever officially re-opened we would highly recommend she be involved along with a number of other experts, including those of AISOCC.

Also, as we have learned recently, there are numerous pieces of evidence that are closely tied to this case that have either never been tested for DNA, or have been tested using a traditional method that did not yield actionable results.  All of those items should be re-evaluated with the M-Vac System in mind.   The M-Vac is by far the most effective and thorough forensic DNA collection tool available and combined with the sensitivity of the latest lab equipment and processes it creates an astonishingly powerful asset to any investigation.  The M-Vac has already proven itself by collection sufficient DNA material from bricks, rope, blankets and numerous clothing items, all of which produced viable profiles.  Some or all of those successes may have relevance to this case.  There are agencies using the M-Vac that are having up to a 70% success rate, even after a traditional method such as the swab has already been tried on the items.  Based on that, just as the M-Vac should be considered as a DNA collection option in every case, we highly recommend using the M-Vac on the JonBenet case as it likely could help produce data and results the investigation currently does not have.  To date there is no other tool that even comes close to the collection capability of the M-Vac, so of course it should be utilized where appropriate.  The bottom line is:  If there is DNA material on the evidence, the M-Vac System holds the best chance to recover it.

Lastly, M-Vac Systems and one of our close associates made a brief appearance on an online radio show yesterday to discuss what the M-Vac is and how it has helped solve other cases.  Being the 20th Anniversary of the JonBenet murder much of the show was dedicated to discussing the details of the case and possible motives etc.  As an outsider and non-investigator, we tried very hard not to give our opinions, but simply to provide details of what the M-Vac can do based on research, validations and casework.  Opinions and conclusions based on the information we provided are up to the individual.  To listen to the show (Tom Sumner Program) click here.  You may find the discussion interesting and possibly compelling.
