While we are limited in our work because we do not have access to the forensic information and do not have police powers to search and test, we do have he advantage of knowing that no one in our family is responsible for JonBenets death and we can evaluate information without prejudice, he said. Ramsey and his wife Patsy have not commented on the probe sincaa May 1 interview when they said they were satisfied with the progress of the investigation. Boulder authorities did not immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment JonBenet 6, was found brutally beaten and strangled Dec.

26. John Ramsey found his daughters body about eight hours after Patsy said she discovered a ransom note. Ramsey said his investigators are looking into solid leads based on field works and tips received from earlier newspaper advertisements. Future newspaper advertisements and fliers will detail the profile criminologists have compiled. The profile, Ramsey said, suggests a number of things, including: JonBenets killer may have been suffering from stress in the weeks and months preceding the crime; A triggering event, such as a job crisis or crisis in a personal relationship may have caused this individual to vent anger, perhaps at a female close to him, or perhaps at John Ramsey personally; Since the murder, this individual may rabidly read news reports of the investigation, listen to talk radio shows oriented to coverage of the murder; He may have tried to appear very cooperative with the authorities if he was contacted during the course of the police investigation; And the killer is someone who may have previously been in the Ramsey home.

Over the past seven months, I have grown increasingly frustrated as the investigating authorities have limited their investigation into the murder of my daughter, JonBenet Ramsey, to me and members of my family, John Ramsey said in a news release. District Attorney Alex Hunter in April conceded the parents are a focus of the investigation.

He has stressed, however, that authorities are looking at all leads, including the possibility an outsider committed the crime. Ramsey, in his statement today, said he believed authorities would eventually look beyond his family. I am not confident this has happened, he said. He said he is using criminal profiles and handwriting analysis compiled by experts to escalate his own investigation.

The legislature passed a bill in the last session calling for insurers to produce standardized, clear summaries of their benefits. The law says the information should be of general interest to consumers to help them compare plans. Barb Yondorf, a division official, used input from consumers, doctors, insurers, employers and others to draft a 4-page form that insurers would fill out for each plan they offer. The draft was released Tuesday. After a public hearing Sept 10, Colorado Insurance Commissioner Jack Ehnes will decide whether to revise the draft and the rules.

By late October, Colorado insurers should be able to start filling out forms, which they must make available to consumers beginning in January, Yondorf said. The disclosure form reveals how the companies pay doctors, whether they get incentives to discourage the use of needed medications or specialists and what percentage of revenues is spent on patient care. Also covered: annual deductibles, the maximum out-of-pocket payrftent a subscriber would make in a single year, limitations and exclusions on coverage; coverage of prescription drugs, alcoholism or substance abuse, oxygen, mental healthambu-lance rides and prenatal care. mm men (Trade rS ot a Professional) High values, high standards, MGHLANO Quality you can tnstl The Daily Sentinel (USPS 145-900) Published tlve weekday afternoons and Saturday and Sunday mornings at 734 S.
