Mr. Smit really delivered in this case digressing from the opinion that the folks did it......A doctor even agreed with him on this who examined the skull fracture and noticed there was little bleeding there............ Lou was a true veteran when it came to detective work and knew his stuff................Lou is adamant an intruder did this...........................many think Michael Helgoth was responsible......................
Smit only worked on 2 stages crime scenes. He was a rookie at the Ramseys and got suckered in by them even praying with the family. His observations were completely thrown out by the grand jury.
pd112, Have you made a financial donation to Lou Smit's sons project to dna test forensic samples for a match to find JonBenet's killer? Lou Smit might be guilty of massaging the evidence in this case, saying he prayed with John Ramsey and this meant he thought John was a man who read and followed scripture therefore he must be innocent? Lou Smit said in some of his previous cases he prayed for guidance and had received answers. Did John Ramsey suggest to Lou Smit that they seek revelation with regard to an Intruder or was it Lou Smit's? .
I think the Ramsey’s Lawyers contacted the DA and they all worked out a deal to cover for Burke. Smit was hired by the DA to make up the intruder theory. The hacked phone records that show the Ramseys contacting their lawyers before the 911 call and all 4 DA’s inaction since the murder occurred prove a cover up.
David Rogers, You could be right, after all if the case is BDI then legally something had to be done? Alongside all 4 DA's alleged inaction is appointing Steve Thomas to investigate a homicide, curious as his main specialty was drug cases, he had never investigated a murder before? Also it appears that the Grand Jury was used to process the case through the legal system with a minimum of public scrutiny? JR phoned the Governor of Colorado State that morning, you have to wonder what he had to say? .
In this case, Lou Smit was as useless as tits on a bull. sorry, may he rest in peace, i am sure he was excellent high achiever but.no way.no way intruder.
mrspeele, Sure no Intruder, nearly everyone agrees on that these days. With Lou Smit publishing those photos and promoting entry via the basement window along with his detailed Intruder Theory, you have to wonder if age had caught up with him, or did he have his future pension in mind? Funny how something as simple a spider's web could cause Lou Smit's theory to blow up! .
I think he was brought in as part of the cover up. If you had access to tax records you could find out who paid him.
David Rogers, ITA. It's a no brainer, particularly once you review the forensic evidence. Any payments would likely be funneled through third party companies based in Delaware or offshore and listed as Fees for Consultancy Services. No cigar if you can guess who guaranteed the payments? .
But Burke was a minor. What kind of a deal would have been needed to give him more protection than already provided by law? If it was to prevent awkward publicity, the cover-up was 1,000 times worse than letting procedure take its course.
Since they can not even implicate a minor, they have to keep the case open and will “look” for an intruder and even hire someone to make up an intruder story. I would not be surprised that there are still people being paid to defend the Ramseys and promote the intruder theory if you follow other social media about this case.
