"I just see a point where they (the family) won't be considered suspects. We don't know what the police have. They are sharing no information with us now," Korten said.

Access Graphics vice president Laurie Wagner said "very few" people other than Ramsey would know the amount of his bonus.

"Those kinds of things are not known publicly," she said. "As in most companies, the employee knows, and the employee's boss knows; in John's case, someone at Lockheed Martin (knows), also a few payroll processing people. But these are people who deal with confidential records all the time."

JonBenet's body was found Dec. 26 in the basement of her family's expensive Tudor home about eight hours after her mother, Patricia Ramsey, 39, said she discovered the three-page ransom note in the house and summoned police. The note demanded $118,000 in exchange for JonBenet.

No suspects in slaying
Coroner reports Boulder girl was strangled

Police said Friday they had no suspects in the strangling death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, whose body was found Thursday morning in the basement of her parents' University Hill home after a ransom note was left in the kitchen.

The Boulder County coroner, who reported the cause of death Friday, refused to say what time the daughter of Access Graphics president John Ramsey and former Miss West Virginia Patsy Ramsey died or how she was strangled. Police had not ruled out anyone as a suspect in the slaying - including family members. "It's still a very delicate and sensitive issue," said John Eller, the commander in charge of the Boulder police detective division.

Kidnapping wasn't ruled out by police, but they wouldn't confirm a kidnapping occurred, either.

Police worked through the night Thursday and Friday searching for evidence at the Ramsey house at 755 15th St. They shared few new details about the murder at a Friday morning news conference. Shortly before dawn Thursday, a woman identifying herself as Patsy Ramsey called police, reporting that JonBenet had been kidnapped. The kidnapper, she said, left a ransom note.

Police, along with the FBI, arrived in the upper-class neighborhood near the University of Colorado early Thursday morning. They entered the Ramsey house, a three-story brick mansion, the yard decorated with giant candy canes and a stuffed Santa, to investigate.

They did not immediately search the house because "we had no reason to believe the child was there at the time," Eller said.

Investigators examined the ransom note and began to help the Ramseys comply with its conditions. "The ransom note was a typical - if there is such a thing - kidnapping ransom note, the kind you'd find in any movie," Eller said.

It demanded an undisclosed amount of money in exchange for JonBenet, Eller said. He would not comment further on the note's content, but Denver broadcast media reported that the ransom amount was $118,000.

Between 1:30 and 2 p.m., the girl's body was discovered in the basement by a family member whom police refused to name.

Eller would not say what JonBenet was wearing, whether her body had been hidden or left in the open, or in what condition the body was found.

However, it was clear JonBenet, the 1995 Little Miss Colorado, had been murdered. "The death was obviously the result of a criminal act," Eller said.

Late Thursday, police secured a warrant to search the family home and grounds.

Throughout the day Friday, investigators continued to photograph items at the scene - including footprints in the yard - and gather evidence.
