And you believe that his one statement negated any effect that the flyers, website, and newspaper ads would have in broadcasting case specifics to the public where someone might recoginze something? This effort unmatched by BPD, CBI, FBI, CASKU, the tabloids, or anybody else? The idea that a foreign faction, claimed by the ransom note writer himself, dismissed out of hand?
And if the Ramsey family flyer with the hired investigators profile listed were to now result in a case development, who would get the credit for it? The BPD, Websleuths, CBI, FBI, CASKU? or JR and John Douglas?
I cant wait for your reply. Or maybe I can. You know how fickle I am.
I am sure you are not too worried about the speed of my reply, but here goes. This is imho only, through my experience and from other people I have talked to, both here and in job, family and friend situations.
The R's spent more time seeking publicity and avoiding answering LE questions then anything else. Show me all this stuff they have done since December 26, 1996. I remember television appearances, where they offered a $50K and then a $100K reward, (less then the kidnappers wanted, not much for a man who had a net worth of OVER 6 million).
I remember them stating, again on tv that they were starting the JonBenet foundation, where they ended up sponsoring some children at camp, where JonBenet was camper of the year, or some such. Even with their book sales, they claimed not to have money to immortalize her more.
I remember three very generic profiles. These were actually put together by the R's team. Didn't tell us ANYTHING an armchair detective couldn't figure out.
I remember them bringing law suits against several sources.
I remember them refusing to co-operate with LE. I remember them making MORE appearances on tv.
I remember them 'forgiving' the killer and JR later not wanting to vilify JMK. Maybe that was due to the fact that he knew he wasn't guilty. Remember, these are my opinions.
I don't remember anger. Anger at the killer. There was a lot of anger at LE, media and former friends, but none toward the killer, except when they were directly asked if they were angry, in the beginning.
I could go on a lot longer, but unfortunately, I don't think it would matter to you. Has nothing to do with being fickle or not, just that I know we disagree. So, hotyh. Let's just agree to disagree and let the posts get back on topic.
As for the rest of your question. I would LOVE to be proven wrong. For a family member to be found NOT GUILTY. I would love some wierdo pervert to be PROVEN to be guilty. As for who would/should get the credit? Whoever is responsible, of course.
