Parents On This Forum: Answer Me This!

I've read those interviews many times over the last 9 years and far from having anything to do with who the perp is I always supported the Ramseys in two things:

1. - Talk to a lawyer before you talk to the cops: if they want to talk to you and you are close to the victim of any crime most likely they are after you.

2. - The BPD and the DA were not only completely inept in their handling of the situation, they indeed created the perception that JBR's body was up for a bargain.

In those circumstances most people will still talk to the cops, I wouldn't and the R's didn't.

Did the Ramseys over-reacted to the BPD and the DA? Could be but as a general rule talking to the cops is something you only do with your lawyer present and in your own terms because more often than not, you've told the cops everything already several times so if they want to talk to you again is not for your own good...is because they don't believe you and want to catch you in a contradiction, so don't do it.

And for the record, my post doesn't define my position in this case: who did it.

But they didn’t talk to the cops and tell them everything. Just gave them information when she was supposedly kidnapped. They gave no information to help find the murderer. Because they knew he wasn’t out there.

You are right Pedro, we ARE protected from handing over anything we do not want the authorities to have.

However in a normal murder investigation, for the police get phone records would be standard operating procedure. That no subpoenas were issued for these basic but vital-to-do-an-investigation records doesn't make sense...unless, as some of the posters have said, John Ramsey had Hunter in his back pocket.

It was a piece of cake to subpeona my ex-husband's bank records and tax records for the time after our separation before the final property settlement.

But the DA wouldn't do it to investigate a murder?

In most cases, there would be no need for a subpeona because most families willingly give police anything they need. Why withhold vital information?????

Especially information that in most cases can be and IS gotten if it isn't made available.

I just saw the Goldman's on T.V. announcing that they were suing OJ and am trying to imagine Ron Goldman's father or sister NOT giving the police ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they could get their hands on to bring their son's killer to justice.

I think JR was making calls during the time he was missing. One of his cell phones wasn’t recovered and there were no records. I believed the governors office called him a couple times before the body was found.
