The police in Boulder, Colorado have issued a new statement on the killing of JonBenet Ramsey, as a Netflix documentary fuels fresh speculation and interest in the cold case murder.

The three-part series, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey? paints John and Patsy Ramsey as the targets of a rush to judgment by biased police - and sensational media who tried the parents in the court of public opinion.

JonBenet case revisited

The father of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey found her dead in the basement hours after her parents reported their daughter missing on the day after Christmas.

The bizarre details of the brutal 1996 killing made it one of the most notorious murder mysteries in American history.

The cops suspected the Ramseys killed JonBenet and staged a kidnapping with a bizarre ransom note. The girl's participation in child beauty pageants fueled a media frenzy and suspicion of the Ramseys, who were accused of sexualizing their daughter.

The case has fascinated the public for years, but there has been virtually no progress on finding the killer since the tragedy occurred. Critics of law enforcement, including Jon Benet's father John Ramsey, have accused police of botching the case.

The police failed to secure the crime scene as friends of the Ramseys were in and out of the house during what appeared to initially be a kidnapping.

"There have been horrible failures,” John Ramsey told Today last week. “But I believe it can be solved if police accept help from outside their system. That’s been their flaw.”

Police issue denial

In a new statement on the case, the new chief of Boulder Police, Steve Redfearn, rejected speculation that the cops are withholding evidence.

“The assertion that there is viable evidence and leads we are not pursuing — to include DNA testing — is completely false,” Redfearn said.

In 2008, former prosecutor Mary Lacy cleared the Ramseys after finding new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing. Police criticized Lacy's move at the time, calling the DNA negligible.

While some believe the cops have no will to solve the case, sources told the New York Post that Redfearn is eager to remove the stigma it has left on Boulder Police.

"He wants it solved and off the books, and he’s assigning officers and resources to solving the murder, which has been a black mark on the Boulder PD," a source said.

“We f–ked the case up from the start, and now with new blood, we can finally fix it.”
