BOULDER, Colo. - The investigation of JonBenet Ramsey's slayinghas been returned to Boulder police, who say they will apply newtechnology and expertise in hopes of solving the 12-year-old case.
The decision, announced Monday, came six years after policetransferred the probe to the district attorney amid criticism of howit was handled.
"Some cases never get solved, but some do," Police Chief MarkBeckner told the Camera newspaper in Boulder. "And you can't giveup."
