Randy Simons
Photographer who took many of JonBenet's photos and sold the portfolio for $7,500. He is responsible for many of the images of JonBenet that have become so familiar. Simons was arrested October 16, 1998 in Genoa, Colorado, on suspicion of
indecent exposure. He was arrested while
walking down a residential street nude. He reportedly blurted out to the arresting deputy,
"I didn't kill Jonbenet," and was sent to Denver University Hospital for a
mental evaluation.
September 20, 1999
Dear Mr. Kane, I wish to talk with the grand jury about the subject of the book Presumed Guilty by Stephen Singular: various ways child
and/or abuse could have been the original motive(s) for what became JonBenet's murder. One obvious possible connection with child
is through JonBenet's pageant life.
Pam Griffin, JonBenet's costume maker, says in the book (p.110) "One time Randy [Simons] wanted to shoot Kristine [Pam's daughter] nude, but I said absolutely not." There are other possible connections between the Ramseys and the child
/sex world that should be investigated. Keeping a lid on this ultimate taboo could mean death for a headstrong child like JonBenet who couldn't otherwise be silenced.
Child
and abuse are deeply ingrained into Boulder society. Some evidence is:
The Child and Family Advocacy Program provides statistics that 204 Boulder County children under 20 were sexually abused in 1998. (Daily Camera 7/12/99, p. 1C)
"Parent of the Year" Zack Prendergast returns his award when it is found he had been a trainer for The Children of God, a cult which advocated sex from infancy. (Daily Camera 8/5/99, p. 3B)
Mr. Prendergast also runs fathering workshops. (Daily Camera 9/19/99, p. 1B)
First Baptist Church treasurer Jerry Berry is arrested for fondling 3 little girls. Police find albums of child
and seize 5 computers. (Daily Camera 8/14/99, p. 1B)
The popularity of the late poet, former Boulder resident and Naropa professor Allen Ginsberg, avowed members of NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, whose motto was "Sex by 8 or it's too late." (
www.nambla.org/ginsberg.htm )
There have been many other recent child sex abuse cases here, including several with the convicts in possession of JonBenet's photos, including Sean King. The above are all prominent people.
Related evidence includes:
The existence here at 1050 Walnut St. of a large
media company, New Frontiers Media, now rapidly expanding (Daily Camera, business section, 7/21/99, 8/9/99, 8/18/99, 8/20/99) An acquaintance of mine says his former girlfriend had been drawn into this world.
SANE rape support program closes. "But two SANE nurses, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said many within the program were frustrated by the constant plea bargaining of Boulder County's sexual assault cases. "We've been operating for two years now and in that whole time, none of us have ever had to go to court to testify," one nurse said. "That's very concerning to us, that none of these cases are going to trial.'" (Daily Camera, 9/2/99, p. 1A)
All the referenced newspaper articles are available from me on request. The inability of the FBI to explain to former Denver DA and Lockheed-Martin executive Norm Early why they never took charge of the Ramsey case BBan apparent kidnapping of a top Defense contractor executive's daughter by foreign terrorists- is suspicious and an apparent violation of the "Lindbergh Law." Det. Linda Arndt stated on TV last week that she specifically asked for FBI assistance and did not receive it. She received no backup of any kind, having been told everyone was in a meeting for hours starting about 7:30 AM the day after Christmas. Were they in a meeting with or about the FBI?
Mr. McFarland has a contact with information that Lockheed-Martin security were in the Ramsey house before the BPD. We have available a video of Mr. Early discussing the issue on a recent TV show. John DeCamp, Esq., former Nebraska State Senator, in his book The Franklin Coverup describing the State of Nebraska's investigation into the failure of Omaha's Franklin Saving and Loan, shows that the FBI protected child molesters and killers and intimidated child victims and witnesses. One of Mr. DeCamp's former-child clients Paul Bonacci won a related $1,000,000 judgment against Larry King, the former president of Franklin, just this spring.
[In the rest of this version of the letter for the public, names have been replaced with
, YYY and ZZZ. In the version for the DA, the real names were used and more details given. Evan Ravitz] The Singular book also concerns BBdisguised to avoid libel- Mr.
, a highly ranked official in Boulder City government. Mr.
has admitted to two prominent and respected friends of mine that in 1991 a box of sex toys and
were found in his City Hall office during an office move that occurred when Mr.
was out. He further admitted that 3 women employed at City Hall alleged he harassed them, though none filed charges. I was in mediation with Mr.
when I learned these things, and that City Council had sent him to counseling. I asked who was paying for his therapy and he said that he was.
The late Ron Porter, when he was President of the Boulder Bar Association, moved to investigate Mr.
, but apparently nobody would talk. There should be some record of this. I also have 3 names of eye-witnesses to what was in the Pandora's box. What we suspect is that Mr.
'
was child
, for 3 reasons: Mr. YYY, then a City Hall administrator, after we talked 10 minutes on the subject in 1992, told me "He [Mr.
] gives me the willies. I'll keep my kid away from him." He recently denied to me that he knows anything about Mr.
. I received the enclosed anonymous letter in 1992. I gave the original to Det. Tom Wickman on May 5 this year when he and Mr. Trujillo interviewed Dr. McFarland and I. Mr. Porter would not be likely to start an investigation of Mr.
for the unpleasant but legal possession of non-child
. If Mr.
has possessed child
, he would want to keep the spotlight off other people's similar "peccadilloes." This is the "Belgian Syndrome" mentioned in Dr. McFarland's interview with Donald Freed. Because DA Hunter was on vacation incommunicado at the time of the murder he could not be contacted for advice on proceeding with the highest profile case ever here. The grand jury should determine if Mr.
was consulted. If indeed a network of highly-connected pedophiles exists here as in Belgium and France, Mr.
or others could have acted to keep (sincere) FBI investigators away.
A one-time "suspect" in this case told me he was shown a bookcase of videos in the home of prominent Boulder drug-case attorney Mr. ZZZ and told these were all child
. Mr. ZZZ left Boulder soon after the murder and moved to a monastery in Wyoming. Phone records of
and ZZZ should be examined for calls to FBI or Lockheed Martin numbers that morning. DA Hunter and the police might be reluctant to investigate Mr.
. According to the Singular book (p. 90) Hunter said "If this got into the hands of certain people in the media it would further embarrass Boulder and make the town look worse than it already does. What are you going to do with this information?" You the outsider should exhaust all leads, this being a government of laws and not of men. Dr. McFarland and I have been careful not to libel Mr.
for 7 years. Once we saw the possible connection to the Ramsey case we worked with a reputable author for 2 years to get the story told right. We want to do the right thing and give more complete details to the grand jury. Sincerely, Evan Ravitz

2 . "Kane's rejection letter to Evan"Posted by jameson on Oct-21-99 at 09:23 AM (EST)
THE STATE OF COLORADO TWENTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT ALEXANDER M. HUNTER DISTRICT ATTORNEY September 20, 1999 Mr. Evan Ravitz
1130 11th St #3 Boulder CO 80302 Re: Request to appear before the Boulder County Statutory Grand Jury
Dear Mr. Ravitz: After due consideration of your request to appear and testify before the Boulder County Grand Jury in the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation, I wish to inform you that your request is denied. We have determined that your proposed testimony would not serve the interests of justice which is the controlling standard by which to judge your request. Your request discusses the existence of child
in Boulder County and suggests that there may be a link between that and the death of JonBenet Ramsey. You have not identified any nexus between that and the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, nor any reason to conclude that there might be one. Further, to the extent that one could possibly exist, you have no personal knowledge of any facts, apparently, to make the connection. In addition, you have stated that the grand jury should investigate the response of the FBI to the initial report that JonBenet was kidnaped by a foreign faction. This is not a proper subject for the grand jury to explore. Their mission is to determine, if possible, who killed the child.
A review of the FBI's role in the investigation would not further that goal, and would be more appropriately addressed to the United States Department of Justice Inspector General's Office. Finally, you state that you wish to inform the grand jury that a former city attorney in Boulder might have been in possession of child
in 1991, that he might have ad a motive to protect others in the city who engage in the same activity and he might have been consulted and presumably have steered authorities away from a child
connection. You surmise this because Alex Hunter, the District Attorney, was not available to be consulted in the early days of the investigation. You offer no evidence to connect any of this chain of speculation together. I wish to advise you that you have a right to petition the Boulder District Court to review this Decision. The procedure is outlined in Colorado Revised statutes Section 16-5-204 (l) Very truly yours, Alexander M. Hunter

3 . "letter to Judge Bailin"Posted by jameson on Oct-21-99 at 09:25 AM (EST)
Judge Roxanne Bailin20th Judicial District6th & CanyonBoulder CO 80302 Dear Judge Bailin, This is my petition to the court for a hearing on the District Attorney's denial of my request to speak to the grand jury, as provided for by CRS 16-5-204 (l). I enclose my letter to Mr. Kane and his reply. [In this public version, a name and position have been disguised. The version to Judge Bailin contained the real name and position. BBEvan Ravitz] I was stunned to discover that Mr. Kane had not carefully read my letter. He refers (last paragraph, 1st page) to "a former city EMPLOYEE" when my letter clearly names "Mr.
, City EMPLOYEE of Boulder," a position he still holds BBand held at the time of JonBenet Ramsey's murder, which is how he might have influenced the case. Apparently Mr. Kane has read the chapters of the book Presumed Guilty that Dr. McFarland and I innocently sent to the grand jury, which, to avoid libel, disguise Mr.
, and refer to him in an ambiguous way, from which one could mistakenly infer his position was "former." Further Mr. Kane (2nd paragraph) says "You have not identified any nexus between that [child
] and the murder of JonBenet Ramsey." I did, clearly, in the first 2 paragraphs of my letter.
Pam Griffin has publicly stated that JonBenet's pageant photographer Randy Simons had requested her daughter Kristine to participate in a child session, whether or not she was allowed to talk about this to the grand jury. Mr. Kane states (3rd paragraph) "This [the FBI no-show] is not a proper subject for the grand jury to explore. Their mission is to determine, if possible, who killed the child." The citizens have waited 2 :: years and spent 2 million dollars and we don't know who killed her, possibly because the DAs refuse to look in the yawning pandora's box we and others have opened. The "mission" of justice should also be to prevent more children from being raped and/or killed. Just as we must investigate not just "who sold drugs" but how they were imported, who else profited -and who was paid to look away- so we must, as circumstances demand, find out not just "who killed JonBenet" but what motives and other illegal activities led to the murder, so history doesn't repeat itself! Truth, you will remember, was also found in Pandora's Box. Finally, Kane writing his response the same day I hand-delivered my letter (September 20th), not even having read it carefully, hardly shows "due consideration of [my] request to appear and testifyYY" It seems to me that the prosecutors have pre-determined that the investigation will not broach these subjects even if someone gets away with murder. If you are party to such an agreement, I pray for you. Sunshine will be the best antiseptic. To summarize: I've made a strong case that prominent people in Boulder are involved in pedophilia. Pam Griffin states that JonBenet's photographer was involved. I've made a circumstantial case that pedophilia exists at the highest level in the Boulder justice system. The FBI no-show is evidence that legal procedure has been corrupted in this case BBapparently constituting related crime that has effectively destroyed the investigation of this murder.. Only the citizens can be impartial in a case in which the legal machinery has been corrupted. Keeping we citizens from the citizens of the grand jury seems to violate CRS 16-5-204 (l) which states "any person may approach the prosecuting attorney or the grand jury and request to testify in an inquiry before a grand jury or to appear before a grand jury." (emphasis added) Sincerely, Evan Ravitz1130 11th St. #3Boulder CO 80302
Yeah - just your regular everyday photographer.
