SuperDave,
Interesting post, its so obvious a conspiracy took place, they even had to shut ST up along with Holly Smith and everyone else. How does that work when there is to be no trial?
Some inside BPD , the DA's office, the legal eagles along with Team Ramsey were all cooperating to bury evidence, prevent due process from being undertaken, litigating the honest BPD officers involved, in short closing the case down.

So I think you have this one right. A one off favor can easily be covered up, but if it is a long running practise, there will be many skeletons burried along with their associated evidence, just awaiting discovery.
I agree with you and SuperDave.
It's no secret Rupert Murdoch is so rich and powerful, he controls much of the news in the Free World. He not only owns Fox News in this country, but countless newspapers, print media, radio stations, and recently bought into NBC, if memory serves. He's he's a ruthless "conservative" who has influenced many a politician here with his unlimited resources. And he's not even an American--thanks, Wubya, for deregulating ownership of our news. So that example is entirely comparable to what happened in this case.
I'm sure y'all know I think Lockheed Martin was the "fixer" in this case. That's why Hunter buried the Ramsey phone records--Hunter was probably the easiest politician to buy off ever, IMO. And for those who don't know. Lockheed Martin has many subsidiaries/companies in Colorado.
Remember Spade? He once said--and only once that I saw--the power to quash any subpoena for phone records came from Washington. It's no secret Haddon had connections that far, but to what purpose would the federal government care about this little murder on Dec. 26th?
Remember that the FBI mysteriously, inexplicably stepped down in a child kidnapping that was attributed from minute one to terrorists.
Also remember that Lockheed Martin inexplicably aborted its precise protocol for just such an incident as kidnapping in their executive levels. The man who was director of their security in Colorado (was that lawyer Norm Early?) told us that on TV many times.
Yet another mystery was how a Secret Service handwriting analyst could suddenly develop such incompetence as to miss that Patsy wrote the note. You'd have to be blind and brain damaged to miss that--but alas, we saw a media spun battle of the experts without even a trial.
I never understood exactly how this all had worked behind the scenes until I saw the movie
Michael Clayton. How many times did we see Ramsey shills laugh at the discussion about the lack of a subpoena for phone records, and a key cell phone record "handed over" by the Ramseys a year later conveniently having NOT ONE CALL ON IT THE MONTH OF THE MURDER? We finally even got the transcript of Patsy lying through her teeth as fast as she could talk to Detective Haney about how that cell phone had been "lost" and blahblah. Oh, how infuriating, how TELLING, that the so-called expert detective--working for Hunter--DIDN'T FOLLOW UP WITH THE QUESTION, DID YOU OR JOHN REPORT THAT AND HAVE THE NUMBER CANCELED? To this day we do not know, nor does the BPD, according to Thomas, if there were any calls made to or from that phone AFTER the month of December, 1996. Who really can be so gullible or corrupt as to argue that wasn't important in a CHILD MURDER CASE?
So anyone who wants to argue this was all just a fluke, that it's silly to ask these questions, I'm not buying it. These are THE QUESTIONS that would have solved this case in one week--ONE WEEK--if there were phone calls from the phone that night, anytime that month, or anytime after that month--Patsy Ramsey's lies would have been clearly exposed. You don't hide phone records if there is nothing damaging on them.
And what DA is going to bury such critical evidence as this? Why?
Common people, garden variety worker bees, don't know about such things as "fixers," do we? What we do know is if our child was found with prior molestation injuries, murdered, with a ransom note obviously written by the child's mother, we'd be in prison. Fifteen years ago, I had no idea a DA in a sleepy little town would help a rich family with a child murderer in its bosom escape justice so openly. That's a naiveté I'll never have again.
Still think a conspiracy is not possible? I saw one of those true crime TV shows which related directly to this. (This was last year--nope, don't remember which show, or which crime, mainly because I've quit obsessing over this case at long last.) In that case, a subpoena for the phone records of a suspect was denied because of NATIONAL SECURITY issues, though the crime had nothing to do with anything related to the gov't.; the man simply owned a company that did business with the government, so his lawyer was able to block a subpoena of the records. It was so Ramsey. I had an Aha! moment.
Of course there is no public record of LM's involvement in anything with this case, other than John Ramsey was an executive and CEO with their company. That's the point, isn't it? But if you google Lockheed Martin, you can find that in the last century, LM was caught doing illegal business deals--Internationally, no less. One of the most powerful weapons manufacturers in the world--ever--which sells to governments all over the globe: LM has some influence--to understate it--I think.
Did John Ramsey know things LM needed kept quiet? I have no idea. But I do know that any company doesn't want the International scandal of an executive's daughter molested and murdered within her own family. It was easy enough to fix that in Boulder. All it took was a phone call, IMO.
