...former Boulder detective Steve Thomas said, "We were grasping at straws." JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, didn't visit the grave. They have denied any culpability in their daughter's death and have not been charged with any crime. Yet they were the primary targets of the graveyard stakeout. And several investigators still consider them the likeliest suspects in the unsolved killing, as Detective Thomas makes clear in his new book, JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation, St. Martin's Press, written with Don Davis, a former wire-service reporter. Thomas and Davis recount the tortuous wanderings...

In the depths of the darkness, officers encounter anyone from the rowdy homeless in front of Store 24 to crazed bike thieves skulking around Peabody Terrace.

Behind them, though, bare-chested neighbors with flowing red hair are galloping down the main street on chestnut horses. A girl is kissing a customer in her delight at having completed, successfully, a credit-card transaction (her first). And around a tiny graveyard of white and black and red-brown crosses, crookedly set against the sea, the moai stand, restored to their dark platforms, in front of cresting waves...
