Nearly eight months after the body of JonBenet Ramsey was found by her father in the basement of the family's home in Boulder, Colo., local authorities, under a district court order, last week released the full autopsy report on the murdered little girl. Anyone who had predicted last Dec. 26, when a ransom note found by JonBenet's mother turned later in the day into a homicide investigation, that the big news about the case in August would be the grudging release of the autopsy would have been called crazy. What, no arrests, charges, indictments, trial? But, as last...
...Boulder authorities, in trying to keep the complete autopsy report under wraps, argued in successive courts that releasing it would publicize details known only to the killer or killers of JonBenet, thereby compromising the ongoing criminal investigation. (Some states ban the preliminary release of autopsy reports for this very reason, though Colorado is not among them.) But the findings made public last week seemed more heartbreaking than harmful...
...pressure on climate modelers, who, even as their forecasts improve, will surely couch them in caveats. As TV viewers know from nightly weather forecasts, an 80% chance of rain doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be unfurling their umbrellas. At an El Nino symposium held at headquarters in Boulder, Colo., University of Washington atmospheric physicist Edward Sarachik suggested that people most affected by the ENSO cycle--not just farmers and fishermen but also commodities traders, water-resource managers and insurance underwriters--should look at a prediction the way a savvy gambler might look at a set of dice that...
...know this man? JonBenet's killer?" ask the orange flyers being distributed in Boulder, Colo., neighborhoods. The leaflets and newspaper ads, which contain a behavioral profile of the alleged murderer, mark the latest public relations effort by the child beauty queen's parents, JOHN and PATRICIA RAMSEY, in the search for JONBENET'S killer. Voicing disgust at police for concentrating their suspicions on him and his family, Ramsey disclosed that his 10-member legal team was pursuing an assortment of "solid" outside leads. The computer-company executive, who has spent hundreds of thousands on lawyers and private eyes, is enlisting...
...Ramseys' actions raised eyebrows among legal experts, who saw the moves as a way to capitalize on tension between the Boulder district attorney's office (which last week said it would dispatch a top assistant D.A. to consult with the FBI in Quantico, Va.) and the besieged local cops. Then too, the Ramseys' well-funded search might have another motive: it could serve the couple well with a future jury pool if one or both is ever charged in court...
