        20/20 Special: JonBenét Ramsey Murder
        JonBenét Ramsey's half-brother is speaking out about the pageant queen's murder in a new 20/20 TV special. Six-year-
        old JonBenét was found dead inside the basement of her parent's palatial home in Boulder, CO. Her half-brother, John
        Andrew Ramsey, speaks out and declares DNA technology will reveal the killer. He believes his parents were not
        involved in JonBenét's death, despite the police found them suspicious. Former homicide detective Lou Smit
        believed she was murdered by an intruder, but he died in 2010, leaving a list of prime suspects with his family. He
        believes Smit's work and DNA technology will help identify JonBenét 's killer.
