BOULDER, Colorado (CNN) -- Investigators have intensified their efforts to find a match for DNA from material found under JonBenet Ramsey's fingernails, according to a report in the upcoming edition of Newsweek magazine.

The DNA does not match any tissue samples tested so far, including samples from the slain 6-year-old's parents or brother, the magazine said.

Police are gathering samples, using mouth swabs, from several children who played with JonBenet before her death, the report said.

Dozens of hair and blood samples collected early in the investigation have not yet been tested.
