convicted in the media of murdering her daughter in the court of public opinion, john and patsy ramsey and big brother burke were quickly convicted. >> after all, john had found the child's body in the basement of their boulder, colorado, home seven hours after she was reported missing. >> this murderer is still at large. there is a mad man out there. >> there has been a complete autopsy done on this girl. was she or was she not sexually molested? >> the police are not releasing that information. the autopsy released. report released by the coroner to the public, indicated death by strangulation. but it was classified as a homicide. that is the only information that is officially released at this time. >> mysteriously, a handwritten ransom note was found in the home as well. boulder police initially suspected it was written by patsy and the appearance of jonbenet's body had been staged by her parents in order to cover up the murder.

>> no, i didn't do it. why do i have to defend myself? i have been, you know, a good mother. >> but family members were fully exonerated thanks to a novel technology. in 1997, dna testin. now, after more than 28 years of investigation with no killer identified, john ramsey is speaking with true crime news about the shocking questions surrounding exactly that crime scene dna. >> we're not asking you to clear us or apologize or be nice to us again. just do the things that you should do that can be done if you do that and we don't get an answer, we tried. we did everything we could do. >> ramsey is begging for more to be done, shockingly claiming that some evidence has never been submitted for the latest advancements in dna testing technology. >> so we've had unidentified male dna from january 1997, and as one prosecutor told me, i've

never, ever seen a police department try to explain away unidentified male dna in a sexual assault case. >> so what exactly hasn't been tested? it's actually a long list for a murder case. and potentially game changing. there are at least seven items which are considered critical evidence that have never been tested to our knowledge. >> that's correct. these items were sent originally in january 1997 to the lab for testing were returned untested. >> one of those items, the garrote, used to strangle jonbenet. if this is one of the weapons that was used to kill jonbenet, how do you not test it for dna? this is the part i don't get. it is covered with evidence. >> i don't know why they didn't test it in the beginning, and to my knowledge, it still hasn't been tested. if they're testing it and just not telling me, that's great. but i have no reason to believe that. >> the ransom note, the duct tape covering jonbenet's mouth, the flashlight, possibly used as

a murder weapon, even rope found at the crime scene. unbelievably, none of it has ever seen an advanced dna testing lab. >> so we've advocated strongly that those items be tested all the items be tested, all the items, because you have two situations here, you have the original evidence that was tested using old technology in 1997. >> and then you have other evidence that has never been tested. correct. that's a lot. the potential universe of finding the killer's dna is sizable, i think. >> i think it is the items that were tested, the clothing and body samples that cleared the ramseys in the first place were last reviewed 16 years ago. if you're not going to turn over authority of the case, at least turn the evidence over to the fbi. let them play with it. do what they can do, but don't just keep it locked in a file drawer. >> so what are boulder police exactly waiting for?

>> well, a journalist was in a group of people, one of which was a boulder police person said, we are just waiting for john ramsey to die. well, i got bad news. you know, my grandmother lived to be 99, and my son is going to be here a long time. so if you're waiting for me to die, so this will go away. it's not going away tomorrow. >> more of my exclusive sit down interview with john ramsey. >> this is a cloud that still hangs over our family. and it's not fair. it's not right, but it's there. >> we want to know what you think. take our true crime news poll. do you think investigators should test this evidence? go to our website at true crime news dot com or our instagram page at my true crime news. we'll have the results tomorrow and what the boulder police have to say. >> now to a bizarre murder case playing out in a florida courtroom. if you follow true crime stories on tiktok, this one is definitely popped up on

your feed. it is the case of sarah boone, aka the suitcase killer, who shockingly zipped her boyfriend inside a piece of luggage, then ignored his desperate pleas to let him out. hanser. when he died, it was her story that became unzipped, she claims. it began like most games of adult hide and seek, he thought it would be funny to be put in the suitcase. >> so i was like, okay, well, i'm going to joke with you and i'll zip you up and make him squirm a little bit. but then i fell asleep. >> when sarah boone awoke her boyfriend, 42 year old jorge torres junior, was long dead. he suffocated in the suitcase. >> this was totally like, not intentional. like that's what i'm scared about, too. >> but second degree murder charges in orange county, florida were certainly intentional. 46 year old sarah
