BlueCrab said:It's interesting that Jim Kolar wasn't at the meeting with the Ramseys because he hadn't been briefed on the case by DA Mary Lacy. This reinforces my belief that Kolar is on the DA's staff soley to make it appear there's an active on-going investigation.

Sorry-couldn't resist.
Here's what I've got. I think I saved it early this morning. I know we're not supposed to quote the whole article but you are suggesting I deliberately left out relevant material. Please show me where it is or give me a link to a revised version.BlueCrab said:AND KOLAR HAD NOT BEEN BRIEFED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Come on now tipper. Quote the whole thing.

Ramseys meet with Boulder prosecutor
John and Patsy Ramsey met Wednesday with District Attorney Mary Lacy in Boulder.
By Charlie Brennan, Rocky Mountain News
February 3, 2006
John and Patsy Ramsey passed through Boulder on Wednesday and met with District Attorney Mary Lacy to discuss the status of the investigation into the unsolved murder of their 6-year-old daughter, JonBenet.
The Ramseys were in the area to visit John Andrew Ramsey, John Ramsey's adult son from his first marriage, according to Lin Wood, the Ramseys' Atlanta-based attorney. The Ramseys also visited with Lacy, who took control of the investigation from the Boulder Police Department in December 2002.
"I'm not talking," Lacy said Thursday.
Wood said he did not know in advance that the meeting was to take place.
"It was partly to say hello, but they also saw it as an opportunity to see if there was anything new (in the investigation)," Wood said.
There wasn't, Wood said, "other than that they (Lacy and the Ramseys) continue to consider the case under active investigation and a case that, in all likelihood, will be solved by the DNA."
Lacy's chief investigator, Jim Kolar, did not sit in on the meeting because of a court appearance.
"I am surprised to learn that they were in Boulder," said former assistant Boulder District Attorney Bill Wise, now retired. "The fact that they met with the district attorney would indicate to me that they were comfortable with the fact that they aren't the focus of the current investigation."
JonBenet was found beaten and strangled with a garrotte in the basement of the Ramseys' home Dec. 26, 1996, about seven hours after Patsy Ramsey reported finding a note demanding $118,000 in ransom.
The Ramseys were declared to be "under the umbrella of suspicion" by Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner, but a 13-month grand jury investigation concluded in October 1999 with no indictments.
Patsy Ramsey, 49, has battled several recurrences of ovarian cancer in the years since her youngest child's death, and her condition last year had many friends concerned about how much longer she could fight the disease. But she has rallied again in recent months.
"It's remarkable," Wood said. "She had such an incredibly difficult first half of 2005. I was very worried about her.
"But she started a new regimen of chemotherapy here in Atlanta, mid-fall, and she has just had a tremendous and positive response to it."
The Ramseys now live in Charlevoix, Mich.
Shouldn't RDI be asking why the article has the DA standing with the R's on the DNA issue. Isn't the DNA a problem for RDI?bbmcrae said:John & Patsy: So, have you made any progress in the investigation?

"...they (Lacy and the Ramseys) continue to consider the case under active investigation and a case that, in all likelihood, will be solved by the DNA."
IMO the presence of foreign DNA tends to rule out RDI.
DNA has been key to case after case lately, in the news. Cases far older than JBR.Brefie said:If DNA hasn't excluded them, yet, I doubt it will ever.

So why write off foreign DNA as meaningless to this investigation?Brefie said:So true. Not denying that.

Nehemiah said:I didn't save the first version but now wish I had. Tipper, you copied the revised version. Like BlueCrab, I initially found it odd that Kolar didn't attend, PLUS it initially stated that he had not been briefed by Mary as of Thursday afternoon. Interesting that they redacted that part. Maybe they are reading here?
Uh, your post basically says that the DNA won't clear the R's if it hasn't already. I guess I'm taking issue with that.Brefie said:I didn't. You assumed I did. Re-read my post.
