The seven individuals named on the lawsuit include Jim Kolar, a former Boulder District Attorney’s investigator; Jim Clemente, a former New York prosecutor; Laura Richards, a former behavioral analyst with New Scotland Yard; James R. Fitzgerald, a retired FBI agent; Stanley B. Burke, a retired FBI agent; Dr. Werner Spitz, a forensic pathologist; and Dr. Henry Lee, a forensic scientist.

“As far back as 1998, law enforcement authorities responsible for the JonBenét Ramsey murder investigation have repeatedly, publicly and unequivocally cleared Burke Ramsey of any involvement in the death of his sister,” Ramsey’s team wrote in the court papers.

Back in October, Ramsey filed a separate, $150 million lawsuit against Spitz over a 2016 radio interview ” in which he explicitly and falsely stated that Burke Ramsey killed his sister, JonBenet Ramsey.”
