Ramsey Case Special Prosecutor Studied

A detective’s scathing allegations that the district attorney bungled the JonBenet Ramsey case have renewed Colorado Gov. Roy Romer’s interest in appointing a special prosecutor. Romer’s renewed interest comes in response to an eight-page resignation letter from Boulder Police Det. Steve Thomas. The letter lists criticisms of the district attorney’s office that are similar to those of Fleet White, who was with John Ramsey when he found his daughter’s body. There have been no arrests since JonBenet, a 6-year-old Little Miss Colorado, was found beaten and strangled on Dec. 26, 1996.
