...work habits are abominable. He is busiest when the sky over the city is a grey suspicion of dawn, the hour when streetwalkers quit, grifters count their take, busted junkies begin to jitter with the inside sweats. He is a loner, but his world is filled with friends. He knows the cop with the abused arches, the complaisant heiress, the slick saloon proprietor, the sick comic, the sullen stoolie who talks in the guarded whisper of cell block and exercise yard ...

Public prosecutor spokesman Ed Hartjes says his office granted the time because there is "suspicion that a crime was committed," but he refused to comment on what the arrestees did to make authorities suspicious, saying no further comment would come until Thursday at the earliest...
...queen's terrible death and weirdly captivating life--the hair, the costumes, the come-hither poses--became the stuff of national obsession at the very moment the O.J. Simpson story was going stale. It even promised, like the Simpson case, to be a family affair, because from the first, suspicion fell on John and Patsy Ramsey, JonBenet's parents. But the killer was never identified, the trails all went cold, and the story faded. This June, Patsy died of ovarian cancer...
