BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — John and Patsy Ramsey have settled a lawsuit against a supermarket tabloid over stories that suggested their teenage son molested and killed his sister.
Terms of the settlement with the Globe were not disclosed, the Daily Camera newspaper of Boulder reported Thursday.
The Ramseys filed the $35 million lawsuit in Atlanta last May against Globe International Inc., saying the false November 1998 headlines and stories subjected Burke Ramsey, now 14, to public hatred, contempt and ridicule and permanently damaged his reputation.
Six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in her family's home Dec. 26, 1996. No one has been arrested.
Court clerks said the amount and terms of the settlement were sealed under a confidentiality agreement.
