John and Patsy Ramsey, parents of slain child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, drew attention from a Colorado grand jury investigating their daughter's death.
The Colorado grand jury looking into the death of JonBenet Ramsey had actually voted to indict the slain tot beauty queen’s parents 13 years ago, though prosecutors decline to press the case, according to a bombshell new report.
The grand jury voted in 1999 to indict both John and Patsy Ramsey on charges of child abuse resulting in death, a Class II felony that can carry up to 48 years in prison, sources told Colorado’s Boulder Daily Camera newspaper.
The paper said Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter never reveled the indictment vote, but refused to sign it.
He announced the end of the investigation, telling the media: “I and my prosecution task force believe we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant a filing of charges against anyone who has been investigated at this time.”
The former child beauty queen was murdered in the family’s Boulder home on Christmas Day in 1996.

JonBenet Ramsey was found murdered on Christmas Day in 1996.
While Patsy died in 2006, a lawyer for John Ramsey yesterday hailed Hunter’s actions.
“If what you report actually happened, then there were some very professional and brave people in Alex’s office,” his attorney Bryan Morgan told the paper.
Experts are unclear whether the DA’s acted properly in not signing the indictment, the paper said.
