Synopsis:

JonBenet Ramsey's murderer may finally be identified by using a scientific technique revealed
in a recent CSI show about a killer dwarf, experts say...and they can identify the killer with
DNA tests of skin cells embedded in the noose.

Lawrence Presley, former chief of the FBI's DNA lab at Quantico, VA, tells GLOBE he garrote
cord used to strangle JonBenet should be checked for the killer's skin cells.

...In the Ramsey case, there's a real possibility that cells may be found and a genetic profile
constructed of who deposited them."

...Presley says that to check the cord for skin cells, investigators would need to simulate the
child's strangulation using a dummy...that would determine where the killer's hands were
placed as the cord tightened.

If DNA is lifted from the garrote cord, sources believe it will prove that there was no intruder
-but the killer came within the house.

I would LOVE to see the cord checked for DNA. The cord matched nothing in the house and was likely carried in by the killer that night.

I am sure the Ramseys would have liked the cord checked YEARS ago - - and I think the fact that the FBI is just now saying those tests might help proves how bad the investigation was.

I say - - GO FOR IT!!!

It should be remembered that there is a difference between forensic techniques that are used in simulated situations and then form the basis of an article in a forensic sciences journal and forensic techniques used in actual cases which then form the basis for such articles.

But, there is the possibility that he handled the cord prior to the crime without considering the fact that it might be possible to test the cord for his dna; Consequently, it should have been tested a long time ago. Test the entire cord, however, not just where the FBI thinks it might have been handled during the commission of the crime. It might have been handled any where along its length prior to or during the crime. The dummy reenactment idea is a dumb idea.
