I heard the rumor but no verification until now. I'm telling ya..no thing is surprising anymore..nuthin!
Here's one for you. I was misled by the info on the internet and in the general media. We were all misled. The Ramsey's had nothing to do with the murder, and the real killer is still on the loose. The evidence which would lead police to the real killer was ignored by the Denver police. The lead investigator in the case found all this evidence , but then the Prosecutor got a court order to not only have all evidence (relating to the real killer) kept from court, but to have it DESTROYED. The investigator resigned his job due to this, but kept investigating on his own time and money. He eventually was able to get a friend in the justice system to overturn the first court order. The DENVER POLICE has too much to lose, as they already (for some reason) had locked onto the Ramseys as the guilty party. They then could not back down.
Many of us see the DW case the same way.
BTW, the murder case on Jon Benet Ramsey (due to this other evidence that was almost destroyed at the request of the Denver police department to cover their asses) was reopened for investigation as of December 2002.
