This particular article has been able to vividly show how trace evidence can be obtained from this particular murder case. To start with, the police used the ‘touch DNA’ technique. The use of this aspect can lead to a number of unanswered question pertaining this particular death. For instance, the use of this technique did not require the use of any blood sample or any semen sample. The main concerns of this methodology focus on the aspect of whether there is the existence of seven to eight layers of the cell skin on the victim. Putting into consideration the existence of layers of skin on the victim was a big blow to the investigation since there is important evidence that could have been left out due to this aspect ("What Is Touch DNA?" 2018).

This article points out that there were a number of clues that were found to in her autopsy that suggested otherwise about the death of JonBenet. To start with the fact that the house was not treated as a crime scene after the death of a JonBenet interfered with the investigation procedures. It is evident that family members were allowed to walk into and outside the house despite that the fact that the disappearance of JonBenet had occurred inside the house. Therefore the movement of people inside and outside the house interfered with the evidence that could have been used to handle this case. Moreover, the aspect that John Ramsey was the one who found the body of her daughter was also suspicious because after long hours of search he was the one who found her daughter in the basement. Additionally, the fact that the ransom note demanded a ransom of $118000 also raises questions since this the same amount of money that John Ramsey had gotten from work as his bonus. Moreover, the fact that he stomach was found to contain undigested pineapples shows that she had eaten shortly before her death. Both parents denied feeding her anything before she slept. This shows that she was lured into eating before her death. Furthermore, the fingerprints of her brother were found in the bowl and this also led to more questions when it came to the concerns surrounding this mysterious death ("The Investigation" 2018).

There are a number of accepted forensic techniques that were relative to this death. It is evident that JonBenet’s mother could have been the one who wrote the ransom note, this is because the investigations show that she may have tried to adjust her handwriting during the collection of evidence. Moreover, the forensics also show that the murderer could have been a person from outside because the stain found in JonBenet’s panties did not match any of her family members DNA. Therefore the existence of this DNA material that could not be accounted for raises the idea that the murder could have been committed by an individual who was not a family member ("Four Pieces Of Evidence In The Jonbenét Ramsey Case That Just Don't Fit | The Forensic Outreach Library" 2018).
