White's 3-18-14 memo to Boulder City Council.pdf[/url] (911.8 KB, 20 views)
From the minute JonBenet's body was found the Ramseys' criminal defense lawyers and their surrogates had two primary obstacles: Boulder police detectives and the White family, in their capacity as police witnesses. The interaction between Mr. de Raismes and Mr. Singular in
1997 was part of a strategy to compromise and deter the City`s police investigation. It was not a coincidence that Mr. Singular`s book positing "sex ring" theory of JonBenet`s death and describing his interactions with Mr. de Raismes in 1997 was published in May 1999, just as the Boulder grand jury was about to indict John and Patsy Ramsey based on Boulder police evidence.
It was not quite as easy to compromise the Whites, although they tried for years to dig up dirt on us using tabloid reporters and private investigators. There wasn't any, But, in February 2000, at a critical time for the Ramseys, Singular, with the assistance of the Daily Camera2 and District Attorney Hunter, publicized the story of "very believable" Nancy Krebs who was willingto spend hours telling lies about the Whites to Boulder detectives, the Boulder District Attorney,and journalists. It was not a coincidence that the February 25, 2000 Daily Camera article appeared just days before the Ramsey's first book, "The Death of Innocence". was published and the Ramseys embarked on a media blitz to promote their book, proclaim their innocence, andfurther discredit Boulder police officers and their investigation.
Obviously, the strategies to cripple the Boulder police investigation, ruin the Whites and generally protect the Ramseys were very successful: Following Mr. de Raismes' visit with Mr. Singular in 1997, the City was forced to cede control of the investigation to outside counsel with
obvious conflicts of interest with respect to the Ramseys` lawyers and John Ramsey`s former employer, Lockheed Martin Corporation: demoralized police detectives were assigned long task lists compiled by the new lawyers as preparation for a doomed grand jury that was delayed for
almost two years to accomodate the Ramseys; indictments of the Ramseys by the grand jury in October 1999 were not persued or even presented in open court as required by Colorado law, as the City and Boulder police looked on, mute; upon publication of the Daily Camera article in
February 2000, the Whites were instantly and hopelessly ruined as police and grand jury witnesses, despite the Boulder police "investigation" of Nancy Krebs' lies; the Ramseys' lawyers'
threats of litigation against the City paid off in 2003 with the transfer of the investigation to the Boulder District Attorney, Mary Lacy who would, in 2008, grant the Ramswys an effusiveapology and exoneration.
It is now perfectly obvious to us that throughout the period from December 26, 1996 until at least early 2009, the official investigation of the JonBenet Ramsey homicide has been under
the effective control of people within and outside government who did not want John or Patsy Ramsey charged with crimes in relation to the homicide of their daughter. As a result, and as a matter of self-protevtion, officials of the City of Boulder, its police department, the Boulder

2 Beginning shortly after JonBenet's homicide and continuing at least through the 1998-1999 Boulder grand jury proceedings and the February 25, 2000 publication of the Krebs story, the leadership of the Boulder Daily Camera aggressively defended the interests of the Ramseys and took every opportunity to criticize the Boulder police investigation. In a January 19, 1997 editorial, Boulder Daily Camera Editor Barrie Hartman set the tone for the newspaper's subsequent reporting of the Ramsey homicide investigation: "I think most of the people in this townwant to reach out and embrace John and Patsey Ramsey. I confess that I am among those who believe clear down to their toenails that neither of the parents had anything to do with Jinbenet's death." It was under Mr. Hartman'sbyline that the Daily Camera published the Krebs article on February 25, 2000.
