JonBenet murder still unsolved

The sudden decision Aug. 28 to drop the case against John Mark Karr in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey snuffed out yet another lead in the enduring mystery of who killed the 6-year-old beauty queen, but prosecutors vowed that the investigation would go on.

"This case is not closed," said District Attorney Mary Lacy.

The case has never been closed, not since JonBenet's father found her body in the basement of their Boulder, Colorado, home on the day after Christmas 1996. For years, suspicion has focused on either an intruder or the girl's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey.

The Denver crime lab conducted DNA tests Aug. 25 on a cheek swab taken from Karr and were unable to connect him to the crime.
