Comments by "Jim Werther" (@jimwerther) on "The Search for JonBenét's Killer | Full Episode" video.

  1. The Boulder PD refuses to hand the case over to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation or to the Colorado State Police, presumably because it would then get solved and make the Boulder PD look stupid. It was the Boulder PD (Steve Thomas, mostly) who spent all day on the phone with reporters leaking false stories accusing the family, instead of actually trying to solve the crime. DNA science has advanced by massive leaps and bounds over the last quarter century, making this case eminently solvable, but the Boulder PD is more concerned with CYA and not being embarassed.

  2. ​ @ctuero  People who blame Burke are only listening to one side of the story, and a dumb one at that.

  3.  @psyoperator  They've been honest all along

  4. That accusation against the brother was proven false many years ago. Let's not repeat idle, slanderous chatter.

  5.  @kellyjacquin715  The DNA was used to clear some of the biggest suspects in the case. This is absolutely a DNA case.

  6. ​ @kikikeel7695  That the killer broke in while they were gone and waited for them to return is the theory, based upon all the known evidence. As to the Ramseys, they were long ago cleared, every one of them, as the evidence proves they were not involved. Those still blaming them are not paying attention, and are defaming innocent people. As if the family hasn't suffered enough already.

  7. Or not. Usually not. And in this case, as is established conslusively in journalist Paula Woodward'a book, "We Have Your Daughter", definitely not. There are mounds of evidence that she was a very happy, well-adjusted little girl.

  8.  @marylawson8797  "He had a history of violent outbursts" - FALSE. "There is also evidence of sibling abuse." - FALSE. "The marks left on her appeared to be from a toy train" - FALSE "There's a lot of evidence against him (Burke) - FALSE. Literally every word you wrote is false. Try learning at least the basics of the case instead of spreading horrible slander.

  10.  @marylawson8797  Yes. All the Ramsey famly members had their DNA tested immediately. They were all cleared.

  11. 28 years ago today - Dec. 26 - JonBenét's body was found. (We don't know if she died on Dec 25 or 26.) 48 Hours posted this today for a reason.

  12.  @rileycoyote8275  100% of the claims in your comment are untrue. You clearly know nothing about this case.

  14. ​ @Mint-kj9kw  Steve Thomas's book is laughable, demonstrating to the world why PDs don't normally use narcs as homicide detectives. His book is chock-full of mistakes or worse, and led to a payout for slander to the Ramsey family.

  15.  @kikikeel7695  Which information? Please specify. I wrote a number of things. For background, I have spent literally hundreds of hours on this case. I've read several books, numerous legal papers, and many articles, snd have watched several documentaries.

  16.  @shirleymlombo2913  The intruder wrote the ransom note while he waited for the family to return home. It was intended as a kidnapping, but failed. At some point the intruder panicked, stashed JBR's body, and skedaddled.

  17.  @pspears2153  The Ramseys were long ago fully cleared. All of them.

  18. @MaryLawson Then stop reading from lousy sources. Instead go for the many books, documentaries, and legal papers that explain the actual facts of the case. All the Ramseys were long ago cleared, but the first was Burke - cleared by every single entity involved in the investigation. The theory that it was him makes absolutely no sense. It is literally impossible.

  19.  @texasgirl6000  Tanja may be correct, but it is not relevant to this case. Every Ramsey has been long cleared.
