UPDATE -- A previously sealed grand jury indictment released Friday relating to the 1996 death of JonBenet Ramsey names the girl's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, on counts of child abuse resulting in death and accessory to crime.
ORIGINAL STORY -- DENVER — DENVER (AP) — A grand jury indictment issued in 1999 in the JonBenet Ramsey investigation will be released Friday, and should shed more light on why prosecutors decided against pursuing charges against the little girl's parents.
The grand jury reviewed evidence against John and Patsy Ramsey three years after the 6-year-old beauty queen's body was found bludgeoned and strangled in their home in Boulder on Dec. 26, 1996. A series of possible charges were considered by grand jurors but it's not clear whether they voted to charge one or both parents.
The Ramseys maintained their innocence, offering a $100,000 reward for the killer and mounting a newspaper campaign seeking evidence. read more
