...refuse to attend a September session in Quantico, Va., at which Boulder police sought the guidance of FBI experts in evaluating evidence.

The cops could not have aroused more resentment if they had openly told Hunter's office, "We don't trust...

Ashley, who's partial to Doug on Nickelodeon, is president of her student government, and Steven, who likes ESPN and The Dick Van Dyke Show, does well in sports...
...number of grisly details were familiar from earlier, partial autopsy reports. The child had been garroted--a noose twisted tightly about her neck with a stick--and her skull had been fractured. Other findings were new. When she died, JonBenet had a red-ink drawing of a heart in the palm of her left hand. Her blond hair was done up in two ponytails, leading some observers to speculate that she had never gone to bed that Christmas night. She had a yellow metal bracelet on her right wrist with the inscription "JonBenet" and the date "12/25/96," presumably a Christmas...
