A judge has allowed a lawsuit filed by the brother of JonBenet Ramsey, the girl who was found dead under mysterious conditions in 1996, to move forward.

Burke Ramsey, who was 9 at the time of his sister’s death, argued in the suit that the CBS report damaged his reputation by falsely suggesting that he killed the girl. The Boulder Daily Camera reported that a judge ruled Friday that the lawsuit can move ahead. Her death remains unsolved.
