That's the thing: it's so obvious; it was so obvious that something horribly wrong was going on with the investigation. D.A. Hunter, UP FRONT, was handing THE EVIDENCE REPORTS to the Ramsey lawyers, including a copy of the ransom note given to them in JANUARY, within a month of the murder. It wasn't until Hunter finally killed the grand jury investigation that Thomas was unleashed and his book appeared in book stores, telling the public exactly what went wrong with this case.
Oh, how Hunter and the Ramseys hated Thomas. He actually threw open the door on their little conspiracy. He didn't have all the pieces, or if he did, no doubt his publisher wouldn't include the most damaging stuff. To this day, saying his name is like throwing water on the Wicked Witch of Oz. (I love that about him.)
What you say about our politicians is spot on; they're all in it for the money they can make after they finish voting on laws and policies to benefit their financial backers and themselves, which is a done deal once they're elected. Anyone who wants to know how our economy got so wrecked only needs to look at the wholesale deregulation of the banking industry at the beginning of this century: let the greedy "regulate" themselves, because we know they'll do a good job, right? lol And if they don't, we'll just write out blank checks for them, call it a bail out, and let the taxpayers pick up the bill--DOUBLE DIPPING! Corruption in this country, much like in the Ramsey case, is an open secret.
But I digress. To the point, you're right about the only chance of the truth coming out being someone who has that evidence finally stepping forward to show us. Those phone records may still be in the evidence room, in fact; because they were allegedly collected illegally by a PI--ha, just like you said--who was going to sell them to a tabloid. Alas, that's one case the BPD solved faster than you can say Gotcha! The "evidence" was collected--the phone bills--and walked past Thomas, who wrote about it in his book; he was told flat out he'd never see them. What more did he need to know about his attempt to actually investigate this case to conclude the BPD was a beard for the Ramsey's true lawyer, Alex Hunter?
Yes, "Crazy Aunt Pam," as Peter Boyles calls her, certainly had carte blanche evidence collecting, didn't she? Wearing a police jacket, complete with a complimentary Happy Meal--it's like a Coen Brothers film isn't it?
KoldKase,
They sure did. And they litigated and shut him up. I've not heard anything from him. Maybe he became tired and moved on, but he knows stuff that we only speculate about e.g. splinter/paintbrush handle, prior abuse, size-6 Wednesday pair, Christmas wrapper for the size-12's etc etc. I hope one day he pops up on a forum such as this, or does a radio interview, and completes the parts of his book that were redacted?Oh, how Hunter and the Ramseys hated Thomas.

Sure, the Federal Reserve prints dollars like there is no tomorrow, and Joe Public picks up the bill for what is euphemistically termed Capitalization, usually of the banks. The end result will be that the dollar will lose the confidence of other countries e.g. China , Russia who will refuse to accept dollar payments, and at some distant point the dollar will cease to be a reserve currency. At this point the US economy will collapse. Bear in mind Russia is an oil and gas exporter and China is now the worlds prime manufacturer.And if they don't, we'll just write out blank checks for them, call it a bail out, and let the taxpayers pick up the bill--DOUBLE DIPPING!

It sure is. It would also make a very good Columbo script. I envisage the opening scene with the Ramsey's staging the wine-cellar, you get to see Patsy dramatically dialling 911, and the initial lea response. Then later in the day, grumpy and annoyed at being called out on his vacation, Columbo turns up in his oldsmobile, takes out his notebook and starts his usual round of apparently inane questions.it's like a Coen Brothers film isn't it?
Excuse me Maam, could I ask one more question? Yous see I'm confused about the underwear JonBenet was wearing when she was found. Now Maam, did you say they were a Christmas gift, was that for JonBenet? Oh I see, for your niece, but you decided to give them to JonBenet, you placed them in her underwear drawer? OK, well I have a problem with that Maam, Steve Thomas says they found no size-12 underwear in JonBenet's underwear drawer, yet they turned up in a packing crate at your house in Michigan, how could that happen Maam?
Totally pre-arranged, premeditated, planned. The Happy Meal would look oh so incriminating in a Columbo style movie script. Then there is the doll order , Columbo would have a field day with that. Or Columbo this is Lou Smit the legendary detective, have you two met before, LOL.Yes, "Crazy Aunt Pam," as Peter Boyles calls her, certainly had carte blanche evidence collecting, didn't she?
