The Great New Spin

The most important piece of absolute nonsense and outright blatant spin and bullsh!t was Michael Tracey's reponse on Catherine Crier Live last night.

He spoke of the bootprint from Helgoth and the bootprint from the crime scene. He stated that Helgoth had Hi Tec boots that matched the print in the Ramsey house.

Catherine Crier responded, rightfully so with the FACT that the police have compared the two and they don't match Helgoth's boot.

Michael Tracey's response to this FACT?????

"THE POLICE SAID A LOT OF THINGS"

So now we have it. We just brush aside the FACTS. We just blatantly insinuate that the police testing is all just made up stories and lies according to Michael Tracey and the RST who are all over the forums idolizing him and his every lying word.

Like other RST members, I predict the Ramseys will (and already have in some interviews) distance themselves from Tracey as well. He is so obnoxious and blatant in his ridiculous theory to the point of just brushing aside the known facts in this case that even the Ramseys won't comment. They don't want to be known as the idiots even their staunchest supporters are.

The boots don't match, the stun gun doesn't even match the make believe stun gun marks. Now the spin is that they just haven't found the right brand of stun gun that the RST is positive Helgoth must have owned.

So from now on, when something doesn't agree with an RST personal theory, to hell with the FACTS. It's all made up.

The Ramsey supporters have turned out to be the Ramseys biggest embarassment. I wonder how long it will take before their representative Lin Wood, will demand that the RST STOP defending the Ramseys.

It's their supporters who may just land them in prison

Barbara - re the stungun. There was a stungun the Helgoth's suicide scene photograph and the Investigators thought this was significant - except they had to concede that it wasn't the same kind of stungun that they believe was used on JonBenet.

So - evidence against Helgoth is that :-

1) he owned a pair of Hi-Tec boots which have brown debris on the soles which looks as though it might be the same colour as the mould on the Ramsey floor. Never mind the fact that it was in the middle of a snowy winter, and Helgoth had potentially been wearing the boots for 9 weeks before they were recovered as evidence. It is also unblievable that Tracey can claim a match with the boots yet also state that they've never been tested!!!

2) investigator believe that JBR was stungunned and Helgoth owned a stungun. Never mind the fact that his stungun wasn't the right kind. He owned one - ergo he is the kind of person who uses one - ergo he is involved in a murder where one "may" have been used.

3) his DNA doesn't match - but he had dodgy, scary friends - criminal types and one of these went missing after Helgoth's death - maybe it was him? They don't know for sure because they'd need to check his DNA, but he "may" have worked in the Ramsey house before the Ramseys moved in so that's a clue because he would have been familiar with the house.

4) Helgoth and his dodgy friends were seen wearing black clothes and black fibres were found on JonBenet's body.

5) Helgoth a video of "The SAnta Claus" where Santa wakened a little girl during the night - JonBenet was wakened during the night by her killer. (note - note sure where Santa comes into this, are they saying Mr X dressed up as Santa?)

6) Helgoth's video of "The SAnta Claus" was interrupted in the middle by a news footage of the murder of Alie Berrelez. In the documentary, one of the investigators said this is significant because criminals often record footage of their "activities" in the middle of innocent movies - however, Michael Tracey, who made the documentary dismissed suggestion that Helgoth or Mr X were connected to the Alie Berrelez murder saying "WHOSE THE OTHER GIRL? WRONG AGAIN".

7) John Kenady (dodgy sex offender friend of Michael Helgoth) claims that Helgoth said he was hoping to earn $50-60K doing a job with a friend. He said this just before Xmas, but after Xmas, he was depressed because he never got the money.

8) Helgoth was a paedophile. He admitted that he couldn't trust himself around the young daughter of his girlfriend. (Yet he managed to restrain himself when he had full and elicit control over a "paedophile's dream" and made do with some fairly minor prodding with a paintbrush handle instead?)

Barbara. I can't make head nor tail of this. I don't see that ANY of this would stand up in court. And why haven't Smit and Bennet tested the boots for mould?

I have a copy of the first Tracey documentary, and several minutes in, it is interrupted by news footage of Slobodan Milosevic being indicted. I would take it the Ramsey private investigators are inclined to place the blame or credit on me for having gotten Milosevic indicted, with the footage acting as a souvenir of my activities as I hid it inside a Ramsey documentary.

Oh, wait. That was an accident and I had started recording on the tape before I remembered that I had not wanted to use that particular tape. But Helgoth is perfect, and never began recording accidentally over a tape he wanted to keep, I understand that is what I am supposed to believe according to Tracey.

I also have a tape of a movie being broadcast on one of the networks, in the middle of which is a news interruption from the night Princess Diana was killed. According to Tracey, I must be obsessed with Diana, because news of her death is "hidden" inside a movie. And yet, I am not. Unless San Agustin has analyzed the tape characteristics and can show that the tape cassette was a commercial tape, with the tab broken out to prevent being recorded over, and that Helgoth went to great lengths to repair the broken tab so that the tape could be recorded on, whereupon he then could psychically predict the news segment about Alie Berrelez was going to be broadcast so that he could advance the tape to the proper point and press the record button at precisely the right moment to catch the news segment about her, but nothing else from the same time, then I cannot go along with this theory of Helgoth's involvement, since my common-sense experience (which would be called upon were I to be a juror in the case) says that there are such things as coincidences, and in any case, until an explicit and definitive connection is made between the Berrelez and Ramsey cases, I cannot say evidence related to one is evidence of compelling involvement in the other.

So......

The stun gun doesn't match

The palm print doesn't match

The boot print doesn't match

The DNA doesn't match

NO mention of handwriting comparisons?

Patsy wrote the note for Helgoth and his friend??????????????

Yeah, that's our guy!

Get the cuffs!

More RST Lunacy!

Smit and Tracey are in the same category together.
Both grasp at half-truths or sheer fantasy and then try and spin it into "evidence."

Like Smit out and out ignoring the fact that there was a chair propped up against the door to the room in the basement where he claims the killer exited out of. He CANNOT have it both ways. He cannot assert that the window was cracked open and a suitcase was found underneath therefore that is evidence an "intruder" left the house that way - and at the SAME time
KNOW that it is impossible as there was a chair propped up against the door on the outside in the hallway thereby rendering that scenario impossible.

It makes me want to scream! He is so dishonest in his so-called "investigating". He simply leaves out those facts in the case that do not fit his obsessive theory that someone other than a Ramsey killed JonBenet. No wonder Alex Hunter was frustrated with him and had to warn him (early on!) to "BE OBJECTIVE LOU!"

Tracey is no different. He is headstrong in his opinion, not objective and refuses to consider ALL of the facts of the case and what the professionals and experts (eg: FBI Child Serial Killer Unit) said after being consulted and analyzing the case. Doesn't matter to him.
But afterall - he wouldn't be "famous" if he agreed with them now would he??
Neither would Lou......

Exactly, K777angel, and Smit himself even says so, sorta:

LOU SMIT: The thing I'm trying to figure out in my mind then is, if an intruder went through the door, he'd almost have to pull the chair behind him... because that would have been his exit... so that's not very logical as far as....

Ya think? I'll finish his sentence for him: that's not very logical as far as an intruder is concerned.

But hey, no prob... we'll just make the intruder a "bizarrely clever" kinda guy... logic optional... lol:

JOHN RAMSEY: I think it is. I mean if this person is that bizarrely clever to have not left any good evidence, but left all these little funny clues around, they... are clever enough to pull the chair back when they left. JonBenet The Police Files, p. 314.

Who needs logic when you're clever, eh?

But afterall - he wouldn't be "famous" if he agreed with them now would he??
Neither would Lou......

And there you go.

Jayelles,
Tracey mentioned during the CC interview that "every" critic in the U.K has given a "positive" response/review to his latestest "mockumentry"-have you read or seen one good article r/e the film???




EDITED TO ADD: CC handled the interview the best she could(seeing as how CTV is on eggshells lest they get sued AGAIN) and you could totally tell she wasn't buying a single thing Mr.Tracey was selling (is he a pompus *advertiser censored* or what?).

In late April and early May, Smit also presented his case on NBC's "Today" show. Tracey is hoping to find an American buyer for a version of his documentary that focuses on the investigation of the case. But he isn't sure when the documentary might appear in the U.S.

Ned: No ONE wants to buy your spin. Who the heck is this Tracey anyway?

I haven't seen any post-documentary reviews, but then I don't always buy a newspaper. There were a few pre-documentary reviews and I contacted some of the authors to ask them if they'd actually seen the documentary and if they'd mind sharing with me their research. Three replied. Two said that they had seen the previous documentaries and yes they had seen the documentary prior to it airing. The third was the only one who mentioned the Ramseys co-operation (or lack of) and she also mentioned John's new political aspirations and the handwriting experts being unable to eliminate Patsy as the writer of the ransom note. I felt it was the most balanced review of the case. The Radio Times magazine (BBC's tv magazine) said that it was policy for reviewers to actually see the programmes in advance.

OMG!!! you mean Tracey may have LIED about his "positive reviews"?????

HHmmmm........I'm surprisingly NOT shocked!!!

New Rumour:

Michael Tracey and fellow Darnay Hoffman are gay lovers who take turns dressing up as JonBenet.

Quick, inform the tabloids! Let's see if Tracey can swallow the same crap he spews.

I mean that I haven't seen any reviews. I did check the Daily Mail TC Critic the following day, but it was focused on another programme.

He made it sound like the critics were shouting from the rooftops about how fantastic his latest opus was and like there wasnt a single piece like the one you mentioned that might have been BALANCED(thats what I gleaned from the interview) but he's quite obviously living in his own fantasy land..........

The football was on another channel on the night the documentary aired - it got the lion's share of the viewing. England in the European Cup. The other two channels had a documentary about "When Daddy became Mummy" (my friend watched that and I couldn't discuss the Tracey doc with her!) and a series about Bollywood which I'd actually been following. Kind of India's answer to Pop Idol!

A couple of people mentioned to me beforehand that the documentary was going to be on, but no-one has mentioned that they watched it since it's been on. That doesn't mean they didn't watch it - just that I haven't heard anyone talking about it. The only comments I've heard at all were about the pageants because the trailer for the documentary showed JonBenet posing in all her pageant finery. People here think the pageants are a shocking thing and I always emphasise to them that we can't judge the Ramseys for that because it's a cultural thing and just because something isn't part of our culture, it doesn't mean that it's wrong.

Having said all of this, I've had an unusual schedule over the past couple of weeks which has meant that I've not had the usual interactions with friends and colleagues. Things are getting back to normal now and I'll make a point of asking folks whether they saw the documentary and what they thought of it. I will post all comments - good and bad.

Michael Tracey will only show himself a delusional fool when the truth comes out.

Where are the brave truth seeking journalists? Tracey's crap is easily dismissed with the documentation you guys have posted.

Barbara: More RST Lunacy.

Vicktor: After reading at Webb. for most of last year, most of the posters didn't feel that Helgoth was a very good suspect. Seemed like only a couple had him pegged as the culprit. And since Tracey has already made one dock. and the Ramseys are in MIch. persuing new interests, I doubt if they're looking for someone to act as an apologist at this point. Looks like Tracey is the main beneficiary of this effort.

The BPD have come out with a lot of statements that weren't correct, including all the false plants and leaks to the media. There's no reason to believe Beckner on the hi-tec boot print based on the actions and words of the BPD in the past on this case.

Well Vicktor, this is one time I agree with you...excedpt I think the Ramsey's are embarassed about the new Crock. Guess Maikai is one of the Helgoth did it posters.

Maikai: And the RST didn't release info via Smit? Like Mr. Stun-Gunning-Sketchman-Paedophile tidbits? You know better than that.

So then there is no reason to believe Beckner or the other members of the BPD when they state that Burke didn't do it, the Ramseys DNA don't match, and other Ramsey innocence statements?

The BPD, including Beckner also have stated various things that are exculpatory to the Ramseys.

So which is it?

Very selective Maikai, the RST quotes Steve Thomas when it is kind to the Ramseys, they quote various police statements when it is favorable to the Ramseys, but then other times, we have quotes like the above from Tracey and Maikai.

Which is it?

Which statements should we believe and which ones are outright lies .

Are you stating that Beckner outright lied about the bootprints not matching Helgoth?????????? Are you saying they made it up?

The RST has the best 'spin' of all. Look at allllllll the suspects, John, Patsy and their team has named or suggested thru innuendos. Not only thru news media, but also on various tv shows and in their own book!

Hey the RST 'suspects' all didn't kill JonBenet, so what the RST is promoting is slanderous to the innocent victims.

Funny how many RST suspects took polygraphs for the LE...while the Ramseys (although promising publicly they would, even 10 of them)...never did.
