To the contrary, furious feuding between Hunter's office and the Boulder police seems to have brought the investigation to a halt. Frustrated members of the Boulder police department insinuate that Hunter has been sitting on the case because he is pals with lawyers for JonBenet's parents, who remain the chief suspects. The cops have hopelessly botched the investigation from the start, this argument goes, and are now so uncooperative they will not even share evidence with Hunter's office.
All indications are that little, if any, has turned up for months.
In the TIME interview, Hunter threw out tantalizing hints about an important test to be done on unspecified material found in the Ramsey house. There's a growing feeling that the case has drifted, unacknowledged, into the limbo of famous unsolved murder mysteries. Many legal experts believe there will never be any arrests, let alone a successful prosecution. That might have been true even without any feuding. From the beginning, it was obvious that the cops who were called to investigate what was initially reported as a kidnapping had allowed contamination of evidence that might have been found at the crime scene.
