I am not sure this has been asked or answered.

In the Tracey program does he or anyone mention how he was able to obtain copies of Cellmark reports and other documents?

Did anyone explain where he was able to get all this information?

Is it public record? I tend to think not if nobody on the forums had obtained it.

If it is not public record, is there someone providing him with these materials illegally?

This is an avenue I have not seen explored.

Perhaps it is public record and they dug it up. If not, I think the public has a right to know HOW he obtained them and by WHOM

At the very least, the authorities would/should follow up on this
 
I got this on FFJ. However, for those members here who maybe don't read there, here is my response:-

No it doesn't say where they obtained copies of these case documents.

My guess would be that they were handed over to the Ramseys as part of one of the "deals" they did to negotiate interviews with the Ramseys.

Alternatively, it could have been amongst the stuff Lou Smit took illegally when he resigned and was allowed to keep. Lou seems to have been very happy to show people his copies of case documentation. Michael Tracey was at pains to deny Lou's involvement for this particular documentary, but Lou has already shown lots of people his presentation.

Of course, if Mr X's identity is exposed and he is innocent. He will have an excellent incentive to come forward, be tested and sue. He has after all been accused of two murders and a sexual assault on a 12 year old. I'm sure Darnay Hoffman would be only too delighted to represent him pro-bono and LOTS might come out at a trial. It could be very interesting indeed. ;)

No they didn't. I think I can guess where you're coming from though! Maybe the ex-girlfriend would remember. Why not suggest the question to JSA ?(san augustin - i have to really think every time I type his name!)

So, is all the info presented (documents, etc.) illegally obtained? Are the Ramseys allowed to release documents in an ongoing investigation? Is Lou Smit? Even if the evidence is their own personal copies?

Is anybody following up on these things?

Any lawyers out there with knowledge about this?
 
Michael Tracey violated the Genetic Privacy Act. The penalty for violating the act is:

LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENT VIOLATIONS. -- Any person who through negligence collects a DNA sample in violation of this Act, analyzes a DNA sample in violation of this Act, or discloses private genetic information in violation of this act, shall be liable to the sample source for each such violation in an amount equal to:

(1) any actual damages sustained as a result of the collection, analysis, or disclosure, or $25,000, whichever is greater; and (2) in any case where such violation has resulted in profit or monetary gain, treble damages; and (3) in the case of a successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys' fees as determined by the court.

Willfully discloses private genetic information in violation of this Act, shall be liable to the sample source for each such violation in an amount equal to:

(A) any actual damages sustained as a result of the collection, analysis, or disclosure, or $50,000, whichever is greater;

(B) punitive damages as the court may allow; and

(C) in the case of a successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys' fees as determined by the court.

I don't think so. The Genetic Privacy Act protects individuals from someone using their detailed DNA for purposes detrimental to the individual, such as determining if they are a good insurance risk, etc. A complete genetic profile, for instance, can reveal if a person is prone to breast cancer, and therefore the DNA information must be kept confidential. It doesn't appear to protect people from simply being identifed as a specific person for LE purposes, or to be included or excluded as a suspect, etc.

I'm wondering about Mr X breeding these dogs. IMO, he couldn't have done it etirely on his own because he spent 90 days in prison in 1996. He was also on probation for 4 years from 1996-2000. He appears to have completed this without default. So did he stop breeding the dogs BEFORE 1996? Or did he continue to do so right through?

Or ... are JSA & co being a little liberal with the word "breed"? Maybe Mr X had one wolfdog which had a litter!

Afterall, how much land did he have to breed dogs? After looking up info on wolfdogs they come in many colors---so if in fact the hairs match either Helgoth's or Mr. X's dogs, it's an interesting link, and narrows it done a bit further. When did this guy disappear? If he made it through probation, he would have had to have stuck around, unless his probation officer ok'd him leaving...and even then someone would have kept tabs on him.

I am leery of the claims made by the documentary re the wolf dog hairs matching:-

Helgoth’s associate raised wolf dogs whose hairs exactly match those colours.

We know that no experts would claim that anything was an exact "match". Besides, how do they know what colour Mr X's dogs were if he had "disappeared"? Besides, they were careful not to claim that the hairs were an exact match though - only in colour. Very tenous IMO.
