If a DNA check cleared John Mark Karr as a suspect so quickly, why didn't it clear the Ramseys as potential suspects just as quickly?

The Ramseys also live in that house. You expect their DNA to be all over the place. Karr didn't live there. If his DNA had been there, that would mean something significant. The Ramseys' DNA being there means nothing.

You beat me to it when it came to a reply. I was hoping to jump in on that one. Anyway, anyone disappointed that it wasn't Karr? I mean, really, it would have been nice to have finally had some closure, especially for the Ramseys, even if I do think that parading around their six-year-old daughter like an adult trollope was repulsive.
As for John Mark Karr, well, he faces misdemeanour charges related to his child pornography arrest back in California. The fact that his crime is legally on the same level as possession of marijuana disturbs me greatly. After hearing about this guy's fantasies regarding JonBenet Ramsey, it is terrifying to think that this guy will be out on the streets. Call me judgmental, but I sense a ticking time bomb.
I really hope that he didn't interfere with children whilst overseas, but if he didn't, there's no charge by which they can keep him in prison.
Also, what about obstruction of justice? This pervert cost taxpayers a lot of money and wasted time and resources. Surely there must be some justice. One big waste of time and effort. Sickening.

Not true. The Ramsey's DNA might be all over the house but I can't imagine why it would be found in areas where only someone like an attacking sex pervert might leave it - for example, in her panties/private areas or under her fingernails etc. I think the answer would depend on where the DNA was found and the amount etc. If the investigators are now saying 'the DNA is not a match', that statement implies to me that they have other DNA that they compared it against - and that DNA is not any of the Ramseys. And if that is the case, I ask my original question - why didn't it clear the Ramseys as potential suspects just as quickly?
