The investigation into the 1996 murder of JonBenét Ramsey revealed DNA on her body and clothing. Investigators initially found the DNA of an unknown man on her underwear and under her fingernails. The DNA was not a match for any of the Ramseys. In 2008 it was announced that new testing had found “touch DNA” on JonBenét’s long johns. (This type of DNA is left on objects that a person comes into contact with.) It matched the previously discovered DNA and led the district attorney to conclude that it came from the killer.
