Girl, 6, Found Dead After Ransom Note

The 6-year-old daughter of a business executive was found slain in the basement of her Boulder, Colo., home hours after her mother discovered a ransom note indicating the girl had been kidnapped. Police were attempting to comply with the note’s instructions when a family member found JonBenet Ramsey’s body, which had been concealed. An autopsy found the girl had been strangled. John Eller, commander of the police detective division, said the ransom note demanded money and indicated there would be further instructions. No suspects had been identified and Eller revealed few other details about the investigation.
