There is WAY too much for us to catch you up on. I can suggest reading 1 or 2 books. They are a quick read. Read "JonBenet & The City of Boulder" by Steve Thomas (available in paperback online and also in bookstores) and rent the DVD of "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town". It is not too long, and will give you a very good feel for the characters and house. I got mine on Netflix, but I am sure you'd find it elsewhere. Go to the website :
http://www.acandyrose.com
There is TONS of info there, including interviews with the Ramseys, photos of the house, the autopsy report, etc.
Steve Thomas wrote, JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation
Unless he was made to change the name, or wrote another book....
www.forumsforjustice.org has a ton of archived information that would be helpful if you are still interested in catching up
Always.
Yes. According to statements in everything from Perfect Murder, Perfect Town to various interview transcripts, the fibers were analyzed chemically and spectrographically.
POLICE can say anything they want. Lawyers have to play it straight.
I do know it. That seems to be the problem between you and me!
The lawyers have to play it straight comment sent me into shock. I guess being from Texas our lawyers seem to have a flair for the flamboyant courtroom dramatics side of law. Better actors than Hollywood. Lawyer jokes about their honesty, integrity, and pay abound.
It is the way you phrase something that intimates another meaning. Police interrogations are well documented on TV on several crime shows.
They never come out and say we have a perfect match to your footprint and the shoe you have on. The say something vaguer like we know you were there, we can put you there after the killings, why don't you tell us what really happened that night.
They don't WANT you to know, or your LAWYER to know what evidence they will be bringing to court against you for as long a time as possible.
If you have a lawyer present during police questioning your lawyer can demand to know exactly what evidence they have. You may also ask them yourself if alone ,but (and this is the big but) they DO NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU. Your lawyer yes, you no. If they don't want to tell your lawyer they will refuse and tell the lawyer to get it under discovery and arrest you right then and there. As long as they have compelling evidence and the prosecutor is willing they can charge you.
Shoe prints are pretty solid, provided a good sample was left behind.

What did the tests reveal or that more close to vest info.?
Kane and Levin told the Rs what the tests revealed: they were chemically and microscopically identical to articles of clothing the Rs wore.
I thought the police refused to reveal the fiber evidence even when the lawyers said tell us what you have or we won't answer any questions in regards to it.
I know a lot of books have been written by different people involved in the case. It seems that all have a hidden agenda, well some are not so well hidden and rather blatant.
Steve Thomas dismisses the "scream" heard by Melody Stanton a year or so later when he spoke to her and she says something about psychic energy being the source of the scream.
The Brown fibers Shilling writes about --- are they real and can they be verified by BPD?
I expect fibers from the family to be on JBR. When John found her he goofed up the whole crime scene when he moved her, and especially when he moved the tape. There are photos of the blanket in the basement with a piece of duct tape on it. Was this the tape that covered her mouth?
The fact that it came into contact with the blanket could easily explain the presence of the fibers on it.
I expect to find fingerprints from family members all over the house, they lived there.
Nothing explains Patsy fibers tied into the knot & in the paint tray. Nothing.

I also can not find a reliable source stating these fibers were found in the knot. Is there anything released from BPD about them? Please post link.
I don't totally trust Steve Thomas book as the Bible on this case.
IMO he tried to put some false info out there in order for the R's to come up with an "explanation" that would have been obviously false as the evidence was false.
it has also been said he resigned before he could be fired.
His book causes some problems if he is ever called to testify in a trial of a JBR killer. What he wrote has to match up to what he testifies to or his testimony will look very shady and suspicious.
He didn't care enough to keep his mouth shut and not damage the case. He could have written down all the evidence he claims are against the R's and given copies to a lawyer. Waited for the rest of his life (if need be) in respect to JBR and not mess up the case any further.
His need or greed for money and to be heard is why he wrote the book.
He acted like a pitbull does when they have prey down and by the throat.
Even when others he worked with cautioned him his ideas could not be proven as conflicting evidence existed he choose not to listen and proceeded anyway.
Why did he change occupations, is there perhaps something in his employment files that would make him undesirable to another PD?
I am leery of sources that have an agenda and he and all the other book authors have one.
Super
I am doing more research and went to the library. I got Steve's book and the PMPT book.
I got the John Douglas book cases that haunt us and another one that just looked interesting the will to kill.
I have a lot of reading, in addition to trying and clean up my messy house after a day with all 3 grandbabies. The youngest is almost a year old and the oldest is 16 months old. I have food all over the floor, toys, etc.
Got some good news grand baby #4 is on the way and should be here in May.
I am really shocked the way Steve portrays the entire judicial system in Boulder.
Didn't know you are an author! Sorry, and I'm glad you aren't taking it personally, feel like I shoved my size 8 into my mouth all the way up to the knee joint.
Thanks everyone! Prayers have been answered favorably. Thank You most Lord Jesus for the power of prayer!
She went home last night and I will see her today. I have avoided the hospital as I have been fighting a cold and didn't want to throw that into the mix.
I don't think John and Patsy listened to anyone's advice excepts their lawyers. I'm sure the lawyers were thorough as well, and told them many will offer it, order it, or demand you do differently but under all circumstances you are to take my advice above all others. That is what you are paying for.
