UPDATE ON RAMSEY CASE

Boulder Police are continuing their investigation into the murder of 6 year old JonBenet Ramsey. They are methodically searching
the principal crime scene, the family home. This is a large residence and the search is being conducted in stages. This search has
required additional resources and Boulder County Sheriff Department investigators and crime scene personnel are assisting.

Police anticipate it will take at least until Monday morning to complete the preliminary processing of the family home.

Approximately 30 officers are working this case, including Sheriff department investigators as needed. Additionally there are 2
workers from the Division of Social Services involved.

In a case like this it is understandable that people are anxious for a resolution, however it is important for the police to carefully
investigate all leads and that sometimes means presenting a limited amount of information to the public to protect the integrity of
the case. The family is cooperating with the investigation which is ongoing.

At this point we have not been advised of any public memorial service.
