5. "Here tis--"

And now to the question of who killed JonBenet Ramsey. There is some explicit information coming in from the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation today. Carol McKinley is live in Denver with all the details. Carol?

CM: Well, it appears that some of the case has been dormant for the past 3 months, but investigators will tell you no it's not. It looks like the Ramsey case has a life again and that's because prosecutors, detectives, even the FBI met for an intense 6 hour summit on Thursday. We ---- off with Dr. Henry Lee, who was at that summit. He's been consulting on this case. He tells us that with new leads, there's new energy.

Lee: Yes, I'm very encouraged about the case, and as you know, Alex Hunter, his office, and the BPD work diligently on the case. We examined original evidence collected and we was able to see couple potential new leads to follow.

CM: Really? On old evidence?

Lee: Yes

CM: DA Alex Hunter and Lee talked with FBI experts via phone yesterday, who were examining physical evidence and who are working with Lee to reconstruct the crime scene. This is a tough job because John Ramsey destroyed important evidence when he discovered his daughter's body, pulled duct tape from her mouth that afternoon, and moved her upstairs. Now investigators on the inside tell me their main focus is still to eliminate any possibility of evidence that a stranger broke into the home and killed JonBenet that night. And they've stressed to me there were only three people in the house. Burke Ramsey was one of them, that's JonBenet's brother, he's been cleared. That leaves John and Patsy Ramsey, JonBenet's parents. Now the question is if they did it, and that's a big if because it hasn't been proven, which one and how. Still those questions after more than three years.

Thhhhaattts all folks

OLD EVIDENCE SUCH AS TRACE HAIRS AND FIBERS FOUND AROUND JONBENET'S BODY.IS THERE A MATCH WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED?

DURING AN INTENSE SIX HOUR SUMMIT IN BOULDER, LEE MET WITH DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALEX HUNTER, FBI EXPERTS, KEY PROSECUTORS AND LEAD CASE DETECTIVES.
