"There was no sign of a break-in, which led investigators to believe the killer or killers knew the layout of the Ramsey family home.
Now the ex-wife of a new suspect, Keith Schwinaman, has told Radar.com she cannot give a ‘100
per cent’ alibi to explain his whereabouts that night.
A year before the six-year-old was killed, Schwinaman pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault on a child, and was handed a four-year deferred sentence.
Speaking to the news site, Heather Kubes, Schwinaman’s ex-wife, said: ‘It wasn’t unusual for him to disappear for a few hours and have no explanation for it.
She added: ‘I have no idea what he was capable of. I think anything is possible.’
Ms Kubes also revealed that her former husband had often worn a cross necklace that belonged to her.
However, at some point between 1996 and 1998, the necklace disappeared.
Retired Boulder police detective Bob Whitson said: ‘If you look at JonBenét’s murder and Schwinaman’s crimes for just the methods of operation, a lot of similarities fit.
‘But what we didn’t have was any physical evidence against him.’
Police tested Schwinaman’s DNA while investigating another case, but it did not match that which was found on Miss Ramsey.
But Whitson pointed out Schwinaman, now 52, ‘always wore gloves’ while committing his crimes.
Yet while there is some evidence to suggest Schwinaman did kill JonBenét, it’s unlikely he will ever be charged with her murder.
This is due to a plea deal he made in 2003.

Despite the evidence pointing to Schwinaman as Ramsey’s killer, it’s unlikely he’ll ever be charged with her murder — because of the 2003 plea deal.
‘He was told that no homicides would be included in the deal, but if he didn’t confess to everything and they found out about it later, he could be charged,’ Mr Whitson said.
However, Schwinaman’s lawyer later struck an oral agreement with a deputy district attorney that promised authorities would not “pursue other cases” against the pervert, said Whitson.
Despite that, Whitson said Schwinaman’s DNA should be tested once more against the DNA found on Ramsey, because it’s been found that DNA ‘could come from various sources’.
A source has confirmed that Authorities do plan to retest DNA in the case."
