Boulder police interview Ramseys

The Ramseys arrive at their attorney's Atlanta offices, pledging to cooperate with investigators in answering questions about the murder of their daughter, JonBenet

From CNN's Brian Cabell

ATLANTA (CNN) -- John and Patsy Ramsey met with Boulder, Colorado, police Monday, saying if the police have new questions that will lead to the killer of their daughter "we're here to help."

"We shouldn't have to prove our innocence," said John Ramsey. "We want them to objectively look for the killer of our daughter, and if they have new questions which they say they do which will help them in the investigation, then we're here to help."

The Ramsey's 6-year-old daughter, JonBenet, was killed in 1996 and prosecutors have said they remain under "an umbrella of suspicion."

The meeting marked the first time in two years that the Ramseys have met with police. Their attorney, L. Lin Wood, said police have said they have new questions about the killing.

Wood said he believed the session was an interrogation, not an interview. He said he would be present.

Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner is leading the interview.

Wood said the question and answer sessions will take place in his office and may last up to two days.

The Ramseys smiled and chatted with reporters as they went into Wood's office.

"I hope to answer their questions and find out who killed my child, that's why we're here," said Patsy Ramsey.

JonBenet was found strangled and beaten in the basement of her family's Boulder home December. 26, 1996. No suspect has ever been named, and the Ramseys deny any involvement.

The Ramseys and their son, Burke, moved to Atlanta following their daughter's death. They recently put their home in an exclusive section of Atlanta up for sale.
