DENVER - Armed with a few invisible skin cells, prosecutors are now certain they have the DNA profile of the man who killed 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey.

Finding the man himself is another matter.

Investigators hoping to solve the nearly 12-year-old crime will have to locate a match in a growing national DNA database that currently has more than 5 million offenders’ profiles.

How long it might take depends on whether the killer has any major brushes with the law that would make him subject to a mandatory DNA test.

“If this person has no criminal record and has never been DNA-typed in another case, this murderer is going to be on our streets,” said Larry Pozner, a Denver attorney and a past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

LAS VEGAS - Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was released from a Nevada hospital Wednesday, a day after he was found "convulsive," weak and feverish in an Arizona jail cell, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.

The 52-year-old leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was released around 5 p.m., police Officer Jose Montoya said. He said he did not know where Jeffs was transported to.

Calls to the Mohave County Sheriff's Department, which had custody of Jeffs, were not immediately returned.

Earlier Wednesday, a sheriff's spokeswoman said Jeffs was conscious but in a "weakened state of health, acting in a convulsive manner, shaking, and running a fever" when he was found Tuesday his solo jail cell in Kingman, Ariz.

RANDOLPH, Vt. - Nearly 1,000 people gathered Wednesday to say goodbye to a slain 12-year-old girl, with her grieving sister recalling "someone precious" and the crowd echoing a pastor's plea: "Never, never again."

Pastor Thomas Harty of United Church of Bethel had mourners repeat those three words after him as he led the service for Brooke Bennett, who disappeared June 25 and was found dead a week later, buried in a shallow grave.

Her uncle has been charged with kidnapping her.

The service was held under a tent behind Randolph Union High School, where Brooke attended seventh grade.

"We come here to pour out our grief and face our anger," Harty told the mourners, some of whom wore buttons with Brooke's photo.

LAKE WORTH, Texas - A teenager suspected of delivering drug-laced cookies to a dozen police stations in north Texas was fulfilling court-ordered community service work for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the organization said Wednesday.

Christian V. Phillips told the police stations he was representing MADD when he dropped off baskets of homemade treats over the past few weeks, officials said. A few officers ate the cookies, but no illnesses have been reported.

MADD's North Texas chapter said in a statement Wednesday that it was "profoundly disturbed" and was investigating.

The 18-year-old was arrested Tuesday at the Lake Worth department after officers — who had received a call from MADD saying that cookies taken to another station may have been tainted — accepted

DENVER - Prosecutors cleared JonBenet Ramsey's parents and brother Wednesday in the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old beauty queen, saying they were "deeply sorry" for putting the family under a cloud of suspicion for more than a decade.

New DNA tests, which focus on skin cells left behind from a mere touch, point to a mysterious outsider. They came too late to clear the name of JonBenet's mother, Patsy, who died of cancer in 2006.

"To the extent that we may have contributed in any way to the public perception that you might have been involved in this crime, I am deeply sorry," Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy wrote in a letter to the child's father, John Ramsey. "No innocent person should have to endure such an extensive trial in the cour
