There was a wide-ranging investigation.<br><br>1. All present and former employees of Access Graphics (and their spouses) – which had 360 employees in July 1997 – were asked to give handwriting samples.<br><br>2. People who had been in the Ramsey house on Dec. 23 were questioned and investigated.<br><br>3. The man who had played Santa on that day (for the third year running), 67-year-old Bill McReynolds, a retired University of Colorado journalism professor, provided handwriting, blood and hair samples to police.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>CHECK THIS PART OUT!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4. His wife Janet, 64, who’d been a film and drama critic for the Boulder Daily Camera for 10 years, also gave handwriting, hair and blood samples after police learned she had written an award-winning play in 1976 about a young girl who was tortured and sexually abused for months, before being murdered in a basement. It was based on a true story from Indiana.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br><br><br>(Coincidentally, on Dec. 26, 1974, a 9-year-old daughter of the McReynolds was abducted and forced to watch as another young girl was molested. The two girls were then released and no one was ever arrested.)<br>The McReynolds told police that they both went to bed at 8 p.m. the night JonBenét was murdered.<br><br>McReynolds, who had allowed his Santa-like beard to grow for years, eventually shaved it off and he and his wife moved to the East Coast.<br><br>5. Then there’s Randy Simons, the 46-year-old professional photographer who was a veteran of the beauty pageant circuit. In October 1998, Simons was arrested while walking nude down a rural road in Colorado. When a deputy sheriff walked up to Simons, before the deputy said a word, Simons blurted, "I didn’t kill JonBenét." Simons had taken some of the best known pictures of JonBenét, and told authorities he felt his career as a photographer was ruined because he had been questioned in connection with her death.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
