DNA Tests Clear JonBenet Family
US prosecutors say new DNA tests have cleared the family of JonBenet Ramsey of involvement in the six-year-old beauty queen's death in 1996.
Tests point to an "unexplained third party", said Boulder county district attorney Mary Lacy.
She says prosecutors don't consider any member of the Ramsey family to be a suspect.
In 1997, Lacy's predecessor as district attorney, Alex Hunter, said that JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were under an "umbrella of suspicion".
Lacy apologised to the family, saying: "To the extent that this office has added to the distress suffered by the Ramsey family at any time or to any degree, I offer my deepest apology."
John Ramsey, a software entrepreneur who now lives in Michigan, said Wednesday he is hopeful the killer will be found based on the DNA evidence.
JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her parents' home in Boulder, Colorado.
Videos of the tiny blonde competing in child beauty pageants, and the suspicion surrounding her parents, made headlines around the world. No one has ever been charged.
JonBenet's mother, Patsy, died of ovarian cancer in 2006, still fighting to clear her name.
