At 5:52AM on December 26, 1996, Patsy Ramsey (JonBenét's mother) telephoned 9-1-1. She told the operator, "we have a kidnapping", and explained that "there's a note left and our daughter is gone".

Recent developments In December 2003, forensic investigators extracted enough material from a mixed blood sample found on the deceased's underwear to establish a DNA profile. The DNA belongs to an unknown male. The DNA was submitted to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a database containing over 1.6 million DNA profiles, mainly from convicted felons. The sample has yet to find a match in the database, though it continues to be checked for partial matches on a weekly basis. December is the twelfth and last month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. ...

In 2003, the judge in the case issued a report exonerating the Ramseys due to DNA evidence that had been passed over by the Boulder, CO police. (Some believe the police did so intentionally.) The investigation was eventually turned over to a new team of investigators later that year - ones not linked to the Boulder police - due to allegations of severe misconduct, deception, and improper investigations on the part of the local police investigators. These claims are still under dispute.
