Despite this, Fox News reports that police involved with the investigation have kept it in the air that the family should have been looked at more closely.
A new book about late Colorado investigator Lou Smit suggests that family members may have been involved in its opening pages. “Lou and JonBenet: A Legendary Lawman’s Quest to Solve a Child Beauty Queen’s Murder,” by John W. Anderson, a sheriff turned author, is set to be published on February 28th and makes these accusations.
Fox News reports that one of the passages of the book reads: “For the past quarter-century, the Boulder police have ignored the DNA evidence that exonerated the Ramseys and could be used to identify her killer.”

Smit had come out of retirement at the request of the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office to investigate the Ramsey case. The documents were recovered from Smit’s files. The surviving family of Smit had shared those documents with investigators working on the case.

Although information about the DNA results was shared with the public in 1997, Fox News Digital reports that the Smit report is believed to be the most direct connection between the information and rumors floating around online and the actual DNA results of those tests. In the past, Boulder authorities have denied media organizations such as Fox News access to the DNA files in this case.

Smit insisted that the most likely person to have killed Jon Benet was an outside intruder. He ended up quitting the case and returning to retirement, citing frustrations with the Boulder Police Department’s position that someone in the family had something to do with Jon Benet’s death.

He wrote the following in his resignation letter after 19 months of working on the investigation:
“At this point in the investigation, ‘the case’ tells me that John and Patsy Ramsey did not kill their daughter, that a very dangerous killer is still out there and no one is actively looking for him.”

Smit died in 2010, and his family shared thousands of documents that he had related to the case after he passed away. They even rediscovered some of the DNA results taken as part of the investigation. Those results remain a point of contention, but they are the most compelling evidence that an outside intruder may have committed this crime.
