Perhaps the sunny image of JonBenet is meant to motivate the stymied investigators. But there is something haunting about the fact that the 13 loose-leaf binders in the District Attorney's office crammed with investigators' reports, interviews and leads in the murder case are emblazoned with the same color photo of a smiling JonBenet Ramsey. "The answers to this horrible crime, we feel, are in these volumes," says Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter...

A nine-member team of detectives and assistant prosecutors will work out of the suite, which has a private entrance. The union between these sometimes antagonistic agencies was instigated by Hunter as a go-for-broke effort to bring greater focus...
...excerpts from the ransom note, which began, "Listen carefully, the two gentlemen who have your daughter don't like you," going on to claim authorship by a "small foreign faction." Yet why has Patsy Ramsey not been ruled out as the writer of the note that threatened to behead JonBenet (a fifth handwriting sample was recently requested of her)? And if outsiders killed the girl, why were there no footprints in the fresh snow around the Ramsey home the morning after...
