 By Keith Coffman DENVER (Reuters) - Police investigating the slaying of Colorado child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey declined on Thursday to address the media hype surrounding the 20th anniversary of one of the most sensational unsolved murders in the annals of American crime. Boulder Police Chief Greg Testa said in an unusual videotaped message that his department will not participate in a flurry of television specials, documentaries and news articles slated to run between now and December. The 6-year-old girl's bludgeoned and strangled body was found by her father in the basement of her family's Boulder home on December 26, 1996, a day after her parents reported the child missing and a ransom note left in the house.

The federal government also loaned 2.9 billion reais ($890 million) to cover security spending during the Olympics. |
