Investigators collected someone else's DNA from JonBenét’s fingernails and her underwear. Ultimately, the docuseries calls into question the validity of the DNA testing, but it had been previously determined that neither Patsy, John, nor Burke matched it.

Eight hours later, John Ramsey discovered JonBenét’s body in the basement. She was found with duct tape over her mouth and a nylon cord tied around her wrists and neck. In a move that further compromised the crime scene, John carried his daughter’s body upstairs, removing her from the location where she had been found.

The Ramseys were in the middle of a full-on media firestorm after JonBenét’s death, and according to the Ramseys, the police had evidence that there was DNA evidence of an unidentified male retrieved from the scene, and they did not reveal that to the public for months, despite the rampant speculation against the Ramseys.
