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.

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...
