But there's NO evidence of this yet. Why has nobody come forward to say "We had this guy with us that Christmas to babysit and/or tutor for us up here in Boulder...". It took the media no time at all to find this creep's ex-wife and brother. But, so far, not one Coloradan has come forward to say "yes, I remember that guy", much less "yes, he was here with us that Christmas".
The local media has had 10 years to turn up every possible stone about this case. Don't you think the police have already hunted down almost everyone John had working for him to make at least a casual account for where they were at the time of the murder?
I'm more inclined to believe this sick little twerp, obsessed with perhaps the biggest "trophy" in the pedophile world and, wanting to build his "cred" within the underground, has deluded himself into believing he was there when the murder took place when, in reality, he was nowhere close to it. He wants desperately to be somebody important (Lee Harvey Oswald Syndrome) and this is his way of getting the attention he *thinks* he deserves. And, knowing that, I think he would have given himself away long before now if he truly had JBR's death on his conscience. I don't think he would have sat on it for 10 years.
Of course, I have no proof either. It's always dangerous to try to apply logic when dealing with kooks. So we have to wait for some physical evidence to come forward and, as yet, we have nothing connecting him to the crime scene - or to the Ramseys - pre-1996.
We're sleuthing, going back in time trying to make a perfect puzzle that fits "our concept".
We're getting a little bit of history on the guy...very little. We need the rest of the pieces.
I would think there were a lot of relatives AND NEIGHBORS at the Christmas time festivities. They should have ALL jumped to the foreground. Didn't happen. The fact that they've gone quiet really, really means a lot.
