“I knew Colorado was totally corrupt when the Jon Benet case was handled in the way that was not the RIGHT way.”
It was the ONLY murder in Boulder that year. The police were very inexperienced at handling the investigation and collection of evidence.
Half of all murders go unsolved. Even if they know who did it, no one will testify because snitches get stitches. Police are so used to doing the bare minimum that they get sloppy.
We happened to be staying near Boulder that Christmas at my brother’s that year. I remember reading about the murder in local newspaper then well before it caught national attention. I’ve read mentions of it ever since.
