Based on the things I think I know about the circumstances surrounding the murder, I personally think it's a stretch to imagine Fleet White as a viable suspect. But apparently, there must have been a reason why the Boulder "intruder team" not only put him on their list, but placed him right up there in the top three--even as late as 1998. I wonder what on earth he did--or didn't do--that made authorities suspicious enough to include him as one of the three most likely intruder killers. With the other two on the list, McReynolds and Wolf, at least we've heard a few reasons why they might have been suspected.

McReynolds, who made himself available to children via his Santa alter-ego, was seemingly bedazzled by JonBenet, saying he had met "an angel." He even had carried her gift of gold dust with him when he underwent major surgery. He kept a harp with the names of children he had met throughout the years who had passed away. His own daughter had been kidnapped and molested on December 26 a few years prior to the murder. His wife had written a play about a child being kidnapped, murdered and left in a basement. Then there was a Ramsey family friend's claim that JonBenet told her on Christmas Eve that "Santa Claus" had promised JonBenet a POST-Christmas visit.

There were also many reasons to consider Chris Wolf as a suspect. His then girlfriend reportedly told police just after the murder that Wolf had disappeared the night JonBenet was killed. She told police Wolf was wearing a tennis club-style sweatshirt, which said "Santa Barbara." She wondered if SBTC stood for "Santa Barbara Tennis Club." She awoke in the early morning hours of Dec. 26 to find Wolf with mud on both the Santa Barbara sweatshirt and his jeans. When she asked where he'd been, he grew angry with her. She said she saw a package of cord on his dresser. She said Wolf often expressed hostility when talking about John Ramsey and Access Graphics' parent company, Lockheed Martin, which he believed was responsible for exploiting third-world countries. Wolf worked as a reporter for the Boulder County Business Report at the time of JonBenet's murder. Police had found an issue of the newspaper in the Ramsey house, which featured a story about John Ramsey. There was a heart drawn around Ramsey's picture--which the Ramseys claim to know nothing about--and on the inside of the issue was a separate story written by Wolf.

Now we hear that Fleet White was right up there with McReynolds and Wolf as a possible intruder killer. Isn't anyone else out there as surprised about this as I am? Why is it that we've heard so much about McReynolds and Wolf throughout the years, not only that they were suspects, but also all the reasons WHY they were suspects, and yet we've heard nothing of the sort about Fleet White? Not one leak. Very strange, if you ask me.

Jameson, you said:

"He certainly was a reasonable suspect. I haven't heard that he was cleared for good reason (alibi, DNA, handwriting) but I think he is totally innocent here. That is my personal opinion and the reason I haven't discussed him as a suspect. I don't suspect him."

Just wondering why you don't. White was among the top three intruder suspects, two of whom you've frequently discussed on your forum as viable suspects. You also say you haven't heard that White was cleared on the basis of alibi, DNA or handwriting. Yet you say that you think he is totally innocent and don't suspect him. Just curious why you give him a pass while you don't seem to do so for others who also haven't been cleared.

Also, jameson, do you you have any idea why, throughout the years since the murder, we've been privy to all kinds of details on why McReynolds and Wolf were considered suspects, but nothing at all about Fleet White? I mean, outside of vague innuendoes, I've never heard that White was ever seriously considered as an intruder suspect, much less one of the top three. Now that I hear he was, I'm wondering why. Maybe you know the answer.
