8 2 THE WITNESS: That I, first of 3 all, I believe that whatever has been 4 disclosed to me I am highly confident has 5 been given to the Boulder Police Department 6 as information. 7 We have, I know, pursued a good 8 number of leads. I don't know that any of 9 them are the killer. I don't know that one 10 of them is not the killer. They are 11 interesting leads, the ones I am aware of. 12 They need to be pursued. We are pursuing 13 them to the best of our ability as a private 14 citizen. 15 One of the reasons we are here 16 today is because we realize that there are 17 powers that the state has that we cannot, as 18 private citizens, exercise, and that's going 19 to be necessary to ultimately find the 20 killer. 21 Q. (By Mr. Levin) If I can 22 interrupt. Mr. Ramsey, what I would like 23 you to do, I mean, as an individual, I am 24 sure, who has thought about this all day, 25 every day, is just lay out for us what you 9 1 see as the significant lead so that we can 2 make sure that we have followed these things 3 up. 4 A. Well, the -- and this is the file 5 I've kept of leads that come in on the 6 internet. And we have a tip line, we get 7 lots of letters, most of which are not of 8 any interest or value, but these are ones 9 that I kept. I sent these on to Ollie, and 10 I think probably he has sent them on to you. 11 These aren't necessarily inclusive. John had a file of possible leads to share with Kane and company. I certainly have no problem with that - but I didn't sense any great interest in the leads the Ramsey investigators had come up with ... and it bothered me that Kane and company were not sharing at that time - perhaps Ollie, who was right there in the room, could have helped fill in some of their weak files.
