From the Paper:

"Another footprint was found on the outer part of the same window, plus a scuff mark on the wall just below the window where a person coming in the window might have placed his foot for leverage into the basement. A suitcase was found on the floor under the window with a possible footprint on it. John Ramsey said this suitcase was normally kept in another part of the basement. Inside the suitcase was a pillow sham, comforter and Dr. Seuss book. Assuming that the killer originally planned to kidnap JonBenet for ransom, he may have "packed some things" for her that she would need."
"A palm print that was found on the wine cellar door could not be matched to anyone in the family or among their friends. Likewise, the pubic hair found on the blanket that covered the child's body did not belong to any member of the Ramsey family."
