    A second request was made on Tuesday by the Boulder County District Attorney's Office for a special prosecutor...snip

    Chief District Judge Roxanne Bailin terminated the investigation into the criminal libel case in October 2000, she said, at the request of Fleet White Jr. and Priscilla White. However, the Whites said they made no such appeal.

    District Attorney Mary Keenan said the new motion came at the request of the Whites, who tried to get the state Attorney General's Office involved in the investigation to no avail...snip

    The Whites asked Boulder police to investigate the Daily Camera for publishing a story in February 2000 in which a California woman said she was abused in a child sex abuse ring in a manner similar to the way JonBenet died...snip

    The case was assigned to the Pueblo district attorney because of a conflict of interest with the Boulder County District Attorney's Office, and shortly after terminated.

    Prosecutor Bill Nagel, who filed the motion Tuesday, said it would be up to Judge Bailin to determine who, if anyone, would be appointed as a new special prosecutor.

    The Whites did not return a call from the Camera.

    BOULDER, Colo. -- The Boulder County District Attorney's Office made a second request for a special prosecutor Tuesday to review a case that alleges criminal libel by the Daily Camera newspaper and other media in their coverage of the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

    District Attorney Mary Keenan said the new motion came at the request of the Whites, who tried to get the Colorado Attorney General's Office involved in the investigation. The motion states that it had not been the Whites' intent to place their matter in a "dead end" with special prosecutors.

    "Our position is someone needs to look at it," Keenan said.

    The Boulder Police Department issued a press release in May 2000 stating it found no evidence that the woman's claims were valid.

    The case was assigned to the Pueblo County district attorney because of a conflict of interest with the Boulder County District Attorney's Office. The case was later terminated.

    The statute of limitations on the case expires Feb. 25, 2003, according to court records.
