<BR> The Mom Squad <BR> For this group of online sleuths, death makes a holiday<BR> BY CHRIS LAMORTE <P> With the new fall television season almost here,<BR> how does this premise grab you: A group of<BR> women, ordinary gals--housewives, soccer<BR> moms, office workers--decide to spice up their<BR> humdrum lives by entering the glamorous and<BR> exciting world of undercover private<BR> investigation. Been done before, you say?<BR> Wasn't Charlie's Angels about a group of<BR> bored, albeit sexy, policewomen recruited to<BR> work for a private investigator?<P> Well, then, here's a Nineties twist: They use the<BR> Internet to catch the killers. Still not interested?<BR> Okay, get this: They solve real-life crimes,<BR> crimes ripped from the front pages of today's<BR> newspapers. And there are bad guys,<BR> too--other Netheads who cause trouble and<BR> work as enemy spies and throw out bitchy<BR> one-liners every now and again. Very Heather<BR> Locklear.<P> And here's the kicker: The action centers on<BR> Boulder, Colorado. It's The Net meets Golden<BR> Girls, with a splash of Murder, She Wrote<BR> thrown in.<P> Nah. Too ridiculous. Not even Aaron Spelling<BR> would produce something that far-fetched. It<BR> could never happen, not even on TV.<P> But it could happen online. After all, virtual<BR> reality is stranger than fiction.<P> Meet shorty, tinky, CatNip, mapek and, of<BR> course, Mrs. Brady. These gals are plugged in<BR> and ready for action. Their tools: the Net. Their<BR> destination: Boulder. Their target: JonBenet<BR> Ramsey's killer. Look out, sugar, 'cause here<BR> they come.<P> More than twenty months have passed since<BR> JonBenet Ramsey, a six-year-old beauty queen,<BR> was discovered murdered in the basement of<BR> her Boulder home on December 26, 1996.<BR> Although the investigation into her death has<BR> yet to produce an indictment, it's already given birth to a creature that grows<BR> larger every day: the JonBenet virtual community.<P> The seeds of this online phenomenon were planted just days after the murder in<BR> the Boulder News Forum,
