Fleet White Jr. and his wife, Priscilla, have asked officials to turn over files involving a California woman's claims that the Whites were part of a child sex abuse ring that contributed to JonBenet's death.
Police have said there is no evidence to support the woman's theory.
Six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was found strangled in the basement of her family's home in Dec. 26, 1996. Police have yet to charge anyone in her death.
The Whites requested access to some of the murder investigation files in a three-page document filed June 24 in Boulder District Court.
Police Chief Mark Beckner has repeatedly refused the Whites' request, saying the file is part of the murder investigation and not subject to disclosure under the state's criminal justice records laws.
Fleet White was with John Ramsey on Dec. 26, 1996, when Ramsey found JonBenet's body.
The night before, the Ramsey family, including JonBenet and her then-9-year-old brother, Burke, attended a Christmas party at the Whites' home.
In a June 3 letter to Beckner, the Whites said that releasing the records ``will not injure the public interest since the false allegations reported ... are not the subject of an ongoing police or prosecutor investigation.''
