“Hell hath no fury...”
The owner of the sweatshirt that allegedly had the initials “SBTC” on it was Chris Wolf. It’s a long story about him, but essentially he had a girlfriend (Jackie Dilson) he was about to breakup with. I’m sure you know how it goes when a relationship goes south -- especially if at least one of the persons has “issues”. Anyway, the only reason Wolf was ever looked at as a suspect is because this about-to-be-jilted girlfriend called police with stories about his “acting suspicious” after JonBenet’s death. She threw in that he owned a pair of hiking boots and that he had a sweatshirt that had the initials “SBTC” on it. (What she didn’t mention is that the boots were not Hi-Tec and the sweatshirt was a gift
she had given him.)
But nevertheless, he was looked into as a suspect. The RST picked up on this, had their own hired PIs investigate him and feed info on him to BPD, and they even named him in their book (
Death of Innocence) as a suspect. He sued them for libel (Wolf v. Ramsey) resulting in what you will see referred to as the “Carnes Decision”. That is too much to go into here, but as you read about this case you’ll see references to it.
Here is what he claims from an article that was published originally at
Boulder Weekly (
http://thewebsafe.tripod.com/04132000wolfarticle-bw.htm):
-Wolf's girlfriend had given him a pair of hiking boots prior to the murder. Lou Smit, a detective who worked for District Attorney Alex Hunter and now for the Ramsey's, said a hiking boot print in the basement is evidence of an intruder the night of the murder. But the boot print was left by a Hi-Tec brand boot, and Wolf's boots are Danners.
-Wolf's former girlfriend said she had given him a sweatshirt that had the initials "SBTC" on it, which is the organization identified as the responsible party on the JonBenet ransom note.
"She said it was from something like the Santa Barbara Tennis Club, thus SBTC," Shapiro says. "When she saw those letters in the ransom note, it added to her suspicion of Chris."
But Wolf says the shirt did not say SBTC.
"It was Santa Barbara something, but it did not end in 'TC.' I can't remember what it said, exactly, but it wasn't SBTC," Wolf says. "Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore or I'd show it to you."
Here is the original complaint in his lawsuit:

Additionally, I should tell you that the video linked in Post #1145 is one of three videos produced by someone named Michael Tracey. Tracey (you might see him referred to as “Bucky”

was a Ramsey sycophant who has been for the most part completely discredited. His three videos are usually called “crockumentaries” here at WS and elsewhere. You might also know Tracey as the person responsible for getting the John Mark Karr debacle started.
Also, any information that comes from Ramsey PIs John San Augustin and Ollie Gray should be carefully scrutinized. To this day they continue to talk about things that have long since been dismissed by investigators.
