Nancy Krebs

Nancy Krebs was a mentally-ill woman who claimed to have been raped by John Ramsey and Fleet White as well as Fleet White's elderly father. She claimed that John Ramsey had visited her in California when she was a young girl, chained her up, and sodomized her. She also claimed that John Ramsey had filmed these encounters and that the Whites had held parties with large groups of pedophiles. Krebs also claimed that members of her own family were present at the Whites' Christmas party on the night of JonBenet's death.

Krebs' allegations were thoroughly investigated and determined to be false. It was revealed that Krebs had also volunteered herself as a witness in other murder cases.

District Attorney Alex Hunter, in an interview with the Boulder Daily Camera, publicly stated that Krebs' story was "very believable" and referred to it as a "breakthrough in the case". Though he mentioned Fleet White by name, Hunter neglected to mention John Ramsey's role in the story. Prior to Hunter's public statements of support for Nancy Krebs, Fleet White had been an outspoken critic of Alex Hunter and had been campaigning for his removal from the District Attorney's office.

Steve Thomas said it was "unbelievable that Alex Hunter leaked/smeared Fleet White and his family with this story that has no grounds whatsoever."
