...commit this crime." Hunter's wide-net investigation strategy, however, may have its flaws. One investigation source told TIME, "The thing in this case shouldn't be closing doors. The secret is to open one. Does it really matter if you get a guy's handwriting sample, DNA and alibi if then you don't thoroughly check any of them?" Investigators still suspect that Patsy Ramsey was involved in her daughter's death. Some also believe JONBENET was the victim of molestation and the molester was someone outside the Ramsey home but with frequent access to it. Says an investigator...

Although there is no evidence in the investigative dossier to corroborate the man's alibi, the examination of his car apparently ruled out the possibility that it had collided with the Mercedes. Chemical analysis of his car's original white undercoat showed that the paint was different from the samples found on the Mercedes. The man's deposition and documents concerning his vehicle have been filed in a folder labeled "cleared of suspicion," an unusual classification according to sources knowledgeable about French investigative procedures. The man is free for now, but some sources familiar with the case say investigators...
