22 Q. (By Mr. Kane) How active have
23 you been involved in the investigation in the
24 last two years since we last met? How
25 actively have you taken part in it? 5
1 A. Well, that's a relative term. I
2 don't know how to answer that question. I
3 am aware somewhat of what is going on.
4 Bryan Morgan shepherded the effort for a good
5 while after the grand jury and specifically
6 told me he didn't want to tell me a lot
7 because we were talking to the media and I
8 had a tendency to perhaps say things I
9 shouldn't.
10 Q. What kinds of things were you
11 concerned of saying?
12 A. He was concerned about keeping the
13 efforts of the investigation as confidential
14 as possible.
The Ramseys were protected by their friends in the beginning - it seems later their lawyers did the same thing. There were several times I was surprised that they were unaware of a suspect or lead or... but in the end it doesn't matter - the Ramseys are not investigators and will probably not be the ones to solve this case - - as long as the investigators get the information, we have a chance to see justice.
People email me wanting to get information to the Ramseys - I always advise them to get it to the DA and Lou Smit and Tom Bennett. Not vague tips like - - "I saw a man who looked guilty and I think he stole something from Walmart but I can't prove he was ever in Colorado and don't know if he has any criminal record or any interest in children..." I encourage they get a realistic statement together and go to the authorities with it.
