Burke's problem is mentioned in the bible too. Do you figure the existence of the family bible adds even more weight to Kolar's analysis ?
I guess some of us will have to agree to disagree on this as I don't particularly care for the title of this thread, which I think is misleading, as well.
Let me add on edit: What I'm addressing here involves boundaries. These books mentioned are about boundaries. Call it "values" or whatever you choose, the bottom line is we, as a society, in different ways, set boundaries: with laws, with religion, with community standards and practices.
This murder is about boundaries that got crossed so often, they flew out of control entirely on Dec. 25/26th, 1996.
Here's a boundary that is being crossed, IMO:
Usually when someone uses another's ideas and work, they give credit by providing the name and where to find it. Junebug left that out of his/her "credit" post on purpose, IMO, because that forum spends more time running down RDI, Tricia, and WS than discussing the evidence. And not in a nice way.
I personally think people who trash Tricia and have so little respect for her have a lot of nerve coming here and joining her forum.
So I'm putting out up front that I am having a hard time being unbiased myself with this thread and topic. But that's me, and I'm not trying to push my own "boundaries" on anyone.
If people decide Kolar's theory and investigation are wrong without even reading the book, fine. I'm not their mama and I won't be giving them a test.
But cynic's point is valid: the books mentioned were a small part of a much larger issue. We've discussed books from the Ramsey library many times. In fact, in the '98 DA interviews with the Ramseys they were asked about these books, as well, brought up before Kolar came on board, and with Team Ramsey running interference.
The main point Kolar makes about Burke, the case evidence, and unanswered questions is that obtaining medical records for Burke with a Grand Jury subpoena could "move the case forward." When investigating such a brutal death, including sexual assault on a six year old, it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect relevant evidence to be gathered by case investigators.
At least, outside of Ramseyland and the Republic of Boulder, it doesn't.
But Team Ramsey can rest easy, because Hunter, Lacy, Garnett, Beckner, and the Governor have made it rather clear it's not going to happen. They want this case solved like they want to be waterboarded for R & R every day.
