Sorry if this has been posted recently, thought it might fit here.
There was a thread back there, that suggested that JBRs photos showed up on *advertiser censored* sites, and lots of people started to "stone" the person who posted this a few days ago. Suggesting nonsense. But there is an element of truth to it. Don't you remember the photographers who were questioned, and one of them was arrested and charged with posession of crime scene photo(s) of JBR's body.
I have provided a link to the well done archive site, ACandyRose. If you don't have time to peruse the site, here is a recap:
1. Perv Photographer- James Partin age 35[/B]
This the photographer, who was under investigation for the death of Beth Miller, another little girl, in Colorado. He was arrested at his home in Ohio, for possession and circulating a photo or photos of JBRs body. Were talking dead body at the crime scene. if you will allow me to be so blunt. He was charged with selling/circulating child *advertiser censored* and theft of property. I believe this may have been tangent to the arrest of Lawrence Shawn Smith, the guy at the photo shop), as I belive they are both into little girls. Very interesting, that Lawrence Smith knew who would be interested in this particular photo.Anyway, He was into the child *advertiser censored* scene big time. He was cleared of the JBR murder; don't know about the Beth Miller case.
2. Photo Hired by PR - Randy Simmons
One photographer shot the portfolio for JBR. He is the one who reportedly sold his portfolio for $7,500.00 (exact amount?). And two years after JBR's death, in a rather freakish report, this guy was observed to be walking down a road - buck naked. When police approached him, he shouted that "I did not kill JBR!". right. wtf? He was cleared.
3. Photo Shop guy - Lawrence Shawn Smith
A photo technician was fired for stealing and selling autopsy photos of JBR, published in the Globe tabloid was back in jail July 19, 1997. There were two separate instances of photos coming from the photoshop, not sure if this one is first or second. In a separate incident, some photos from the shop, were conveniently dumped in the shop's dumpster, where they were conveniently recovered by a Globe newspaper hack. Court ruled that they were in trash, and therefor were not the property of shop or police. Lawrence Smith was later arrested in connection with
indecent exposure in front of two teenage girls. Big surprirse. Can you hear me now?
Smith pulled this off with buddy Brett Sawyer, a then private investigator, who was previously employed by the sheriff's department (!).
Quoting from archives at acandyrose: "
According to police reports, Lawrence Shawn Smith exposed himself near his Boulder home to a juvenile girl while she was jogging. When she was running by, the girl saw him lying on the roadside naked and masturbating. He later exposed himself to another juvenile girl, the report states".
4. Ramsey Neighbor & Colorado Photographer - Stephen Miles
This is the guy who was not connected by any photos or acts, yet was accused by the Ramseys. He even file a libel lawsuit against the Ramseys.
I speculate, that the Ramsey's had information that pointed to the involvement, (before, during or after the crime) by a photographer. And they mistakenly accused this guy. I think they were given cryptic info about James Partin at the time.
We need to keep in mind, that anything that is thrown into the "net", (e.g.
www.perve sites, has a very long half-life. My guess, is that these did indeed exist on the net. And they may still be there. I have no doubt, that some perves still have them. And perhaps from this element of truth, the rumor was spun - that there was a "snuff movie". Because there was a
photo.
