The DNA mismatch between John Mark Karr and evidence in the JonBenet Ramsey slaying was a setback for prosecutors, but they promised to continue searching for the 6-year-old beauty queen’s killer.
“This case is not closed,” said District Attorney Mary Lacy, who planned to further explain her decision at a news conference Tuesday.
JonBenet’s aunt, Pamela Paugh, said Tuesday that she wasn’t terribly shocked to learn that Karr’s public confession to being with JonBenet when she died didn’t hold up.
“I think one of two things is going on: Either he is quite disturbed, and in that respect needs a lot of help and care, or he has perpetrated quite the fraud on the American public and the victims’ families, and he needs help and a lot of care,” Paugh told CBS’ “The Early Show.”
