Dr. Moses Schanfield, director of the Analytical Genetic Testing Center Inc. of Denver, most likely would be the Ramseys' representative. It's clear that it would primarily be an observation role. About eight hours earlier, Patsy Ramsey, JonBenet's mother, discovered a ransom note and called police. Shortly after the murder, investigators collected hair, handwriting and blood samples from the Ramseys, friends and others.
Tests typically take four to six weeks.
And some of the test results might take awhile because it seems there's DNA from two people in some of the evidence. That's one reason why it might be helpful to have someone watch the tests to make sure everything is done properly. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation denied access to DNA testing there because Colorado law allows supervised testing only by named suspects. Legal experts offered similar views. The reason is, if you consume the sample, nobody else can do independent tests.
