Instead, our DA has becoming a spinning compass for the media. The perpetuating inference continues that justice is somehow just around the corner. I do not see that occurring, as the two-year anniversary of this murder approaches ...”

Unmistakably and worst of all, we have failed a little girl named Jon 
Benet. Six years old. Many good people, decent, innocent citizens, are 
forever bound by the murder of this child. There is a tremendous 
obligation to them. But an infinitely greater obligation to her, as she 
rests in a small cemetery far away from this anomaly of a place called
