This case is interesting in the fact that it's still an open homicide investigation that is about as closed as an open investigation can get. I'm
not a writer per say and most of my knowledge from the case comes from a large archived file I hold in a secure environment for others. Discounting
the JFK assassination and 9/11 this is the largest murder investigation in American History-in terms of documentation. The official file of the
Bolder,Co homicide department has amassed some 40,000 documents-hold up a stack of printer paper that is 100 pages and that will give you some idea of
the breadth of this thing.
Former Bolder homicide detective Steve Thomas resigned from the department in a letter to the media and the Governor of Colorado. That simply shocked
and bewildered everyone involved-Cops just don't do things like this and his reasons while being honorable(many will disagree with the word
honorable) slung the case where no other has ever gone. The world wide bewilderment really hit the fan after a book he wrote about the case that, was
a best seller, pointed to the District Attorneys office as the main cast of characters that fell under the spell of the Ramsey's attorneys known as
Team Ramsey. It's somewhat enlightening-well not that much in my book-however that the mess the case became could have never happened in any American
city, other than Bolder. The far left liberal attitude of the city administration, and the most bizarre case of risk adverseness I have ever known,
along with political will to do nothing much of anything about crime(of course in the Cities mind it didn't exist) and cater to their wealthy
residents with a never ending pardon me I see nothing police department.
The basic facts of the case-that I have already pointed out-show without a doubt the kidnapping was staged along with the ransom note and that what
ever happened that night was between the 4 occupants. What really gets confusing is the District Attorneys office agreeing with those facts-but saying
at the same time the Ramsey's were not involved in the brutal murder of their young child. Confused yet? there is plenty more.
At that time the National media in America had yet to take full control of the everyday lives of Americans as they have now. However they were getting
warmed up. The image of JonBenét is still as striking now as it was then with the exception of the internet that, then, like the media behind it, was
just getting started. The mind wonders what would have happened had this case happened AFTER broadband became widespread around 1999. Actually, this
very assignment is given out to journalist in training along with anyone else who studies history. The social networks, in my opinion would have never
allowed this tragedy-the death of a young child-to get buried in a sea of money, political paybacks, bruised egos and an attitude that the best thing
to do about crime-is look the other way. As odd as it may seem today entire dissertations, the pinnacle of someones higher education efforts, are
spent on this very question-would the JonBenét Ramsey murder case been able to be buried simply because some people just wanted it to go away-or
would sites like ATS for example-raised so much hell that the focus would be on the crime-not the livelihood of those in charge.
A good question however, as so often happens, the death of a child becomes lost in a philosophic discussion.
An example of the nutcase this became, as with anything involving humans-especially Americans-humor can't be far off. On the 1 year anniversary of
JonBenét death detectives staked out her grave in hopes of hearing a confession. As stupid as it sounds they set up fake tombstones with cameras and
listening devices and had a command post across the graveyard. The media got wind of this and set up there own devices and took their place across the
street. The grave was somewhat up a slope and every time anyone would come near the place they would get mobbed. A writer for the Bolder Camera who
was there described the scene. The female reporters would sit in their production vans (about 20 of the vans spread along the street below the slope)
and non stop preening them selves until some one-anyone-would go near the grave there would be this loud clack-clack-clack noise as the high heels at
full speed along with their short tight skirts attacked anyone with microphones held out in front like elephant snouts and yelling nonstop questions
like "why are you here?!" "Do you know the family?"-at the same time elbowing each other to get their snout the closest. Once they person informed
them they were there for other reasons the tide recanted back down the hill. The last straw for this reporter was when a maintenance worker, in grey
coveralls marked 'maintenance', was attacked by the clacking mob of elephant snouts, and a pushing match between the once preened girls began.
The 'elephant snouts' is classic-only in America.
