John Ramsey Cleared by DNA in JonBenet Ramsey Murder

John Ramsey, the father of JonBenet Ramsey, was cleared of the murder of his daughter by prosecutors due to DNA results on Wednesday.

Boulder County (Colo.) District Attorney Mary Lacy said Wednesday the tests point to an "unexplained third party" in the 1996 murder of six-year old JonBenet Ramsey.

Lacy says prosecutors don't consider any member of the Ramsey family to be a suspect. For years, Ramsey's parents, John and Patsy, and brother Burke were considered to be prime suspects in the well-publicized murder of JonBenet since 1996.

"To the extent that this office has added to the distress suffered by the Ramsey family at any time or to any degree, I offer my deepest apology," said Lacy.

John Ramsey found his daughter's strangled and bludgeoned body in the basement of the family's home in Boulder on Dec. 26, 1996. Patsy Ramsey said she found a ransom note demanding $118,000 for her daughter.

Patsy Ramsey died June 24, 2006 of ovarian cancer at the age of 49 in Atlanta, where the family moved after Jon Benet's death.

Less than two months after Patsy Ramsey died, the case appeared to solved with the arrest in Thailand of John Mark Karr. Karr, a teacher who was obsessed with JonBenet's murder, made strange yet detailed confessions to the killing, but authorities said DNA evidence showed Karr did not commit the crime.
