(Spoiler alert)Like the excellent book written by Sgt. Steve Thomas ("JonBenét: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation" 2000) one-time lead investigator A. James Kolar demolishes the "intruder theory." I mean really demolishes it with evidence and information not contained in Thomas's eminently persuasive book. Consequently I am even more convinced than ever that the Ramsey family members, John, Patsy and son Burke--one or all--were involved in the tragedy.However I no longer hold to the idea that Patsy lost her temper and accidently banged JonBenét's head against a porcelain toilet or hit her while playing wild with a golf club or some other instrument. I am still totally convinced that she wrote the "War and Peace" of all ransom notes. But what Kolar brings to the case that I wasn't aware of before is the very real possibility that older brother Burke (nine-years-old at the time) deliberately hit his six-year-old sister in the head with some blunt instrument hard enough to render her not just unconscious but hemorrhaging badly and on her way to death. (According to autopsy information not previously available to the public, JonBenét died of strangulation but without medical attention would have died from that blow to the head due to internal bleeding.)So Patsy Ramsey's pathetic and rather stupid cover up was to protect her only surviving child. Kolar quotes Patsy as saying she could not go on living if she lost him.Curiously Kolar does not lead with this scenario. Instead, beginning on page 8 "Chapter Two: Foreign Faction," he presents a fanciful and frankly ridiculous intruder scenario.
Run -- don't walk -- to your nearest bookstore or library and check out Foreign Faction: Who Really Killed JonBenet? It's written by A. James Kolar who was one of the lead investigators in the case. (Kolar was brought into the case later on and is the guy who pointed out the pink elephant in the room that every one else wanted to ignore.)Kolar said he couldn't sleep at night knowing what he knows; he had to put the truth down on paper. He felt the public (especially the people of Boulder) deserved it. Think you know everything about the case? NOT. Supported by cold, hard evidence, he points directly to the killer -- someone the public and investigators spent very little time exploring. He explains the cover-up and why it was covered up and by whom.The book is damning but rings true -- word for word -- through 500 pages. No one will ever be prosecuted, but this case, I believe, can now be laid to rest. I was up until the wee hours of the morning finishing this book. On the one hand, I couldn't put the book down. On the other hand, I had to lay the book down to gather my wits. My heart was racing.James Kolar has put everything on the line to write this book -- his life, his livelihood, his reputation, his finances, his all. It took almost all of his retirement savings to put this book out. He stands firm in his beliefs -- backed up by cold, hard evidence -- and is ready to face the repercussions, whatever they may be -- lawsuits and a firing squad by the Ramsey defense team--and says he will not buckle or settle but will hold his ground. He blows the lid right off this case. The only thing that Mr. Kolar wants out of this is to recoup his retirement funds. The rest will go to Missing and Exploited Children.
