The grand jury also had alleged that each parent "did ... render assistance to a person, with intent to hinder, delay and prevent the discovery, detention, apprehension, prosecution, conviction and punishment of such person for the commission of a crime, knowing the person being assisted has committed and was suspected of the crime of murder in the first degree and child abuse resulting in death."

The documents, however, did not identify who that  "person" was. The grand jury had alleged that the couple of committed the offenses"on or between December 25 and December 26, 1996." JonBenet murdered body was found at the basement of the Ramsey's Boulder home the day after the Christmas of 1996.
