Hi all, we just wanted to pass along a very encouraging update on the JonBenét case and our shared efforts at getting items tested for possible DNA.

There's been a lot more behind-the-scenes activity taking place this year after this petition went viral in 2022, but we've yet to hear that previously untested evidence has been sent out for advanced DNA testing. However, according to a new story in The Messenger, that might have finally changed:

Authorities in Boulder, Colo., have sent several previously untested pieces of evidence to a laboratory for DNA testing as part of a renewed push to solve the 27-year-old cold case, The Messenger has learned.

After a DNA profile is generated from the unexamined evidence, the results will be compared to public databases, including those from genetic testing services like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.

Please join us in crossing all fingers (and toes) that this is accurate and that they've used an outside lab like Othram for the testing and analysis. More updates to come, but please keep sharing this petition--it's making a real difference. 

P.S. If you'd like some additional background on how we got here, this recap of John's interview on Monday with Ashleigh Banfield has some good insight.
