When this case was FRESH and commanded the attention of forensic experts, Dr. Henry Lee was called in to review the meager DNA found. While his personally selected endeavors seem to have shifted in the past few years, he was a leading forensic DNA expert without prejudice at the time of JonBenet's death.
He was interviewed and perhaps overstepped the bounds of privacy in the investigation, because he gave us more professional information about the DNA than we had previously or since.
He stated unequivocally that the Ramsey case is NOT a DNA case.
Mary Lacy tried to turn this into a DNA case for her own personal reasons, and the results were abysmal. She plainly did not know what she was talking about.
Although there have been some refinements in DNA processing and testing since Dr. Lee's evaluation of the physical evidence in the case, we have been told for years that most, if not all, of the minute unsourced and incomplete DNA markers present on JBR's body were destroyed in initial testing. The results remain, but there were so few markers that it is doubtful that the results could ever rule in or rule out anyone.
As an aside- Even John Mark Karr was not eliminated due to DNA but because he was proved to not be in Boulder at the time of the murder. Mary Lacy really doesn't want you to know that it was not DNA which cleared him because his whereabouts should have been vetted before the scum was flown back to the States.
She has lied about the DNA results more than once, and with transparent ignorance of the science.
Because the principles and properties of DNA do not change, it is my personal belief that Dr. Henry Lee was speaking an elementary truth about this murder case. It was not a DNA case when he was a consultant for the investigators, and it is not a DNA case all these years later.
JonBenet had layers of dried caked DNA under her fingernails on autopsy, indicating that she had not bathed or washed her hands for a longer period of time than we like to think about..possibly days. Kind of fits with Patsy's excuse of her " broken shower". I don't think Patsy placed too high a premium on personal hygiene for herself or her children.
To those of you who state that sterilized nail clippers were not used, I would like to point out that JonBenet had long nails for a child and the LAYERS of crud under her nails would be there regardless of how the nails were clipped off the body.
