I heard long ago when I was in Boulder that Steve Thomas was the one talking to Vanity Fair. I believed it then and believe it now. I just wondered if there was anyone else involved.

Her story was full of misinformation - - I never understood why she wasn't forced to retract the statements but that was pretty early on, before lawsuits started.

The fact is, the Ramseys were suspects from day 1 - - I don't think they can sue anyone for saying that. And if Thomas and/or anyone else from the BPD was giving misinformation to the media, should the media really be held at fault?

Like the "no footsteps in the snow" - - we know Lou Smit was told about that before he took the job and he thought that made it an inside job. He didn't question any of that until he saw the photographs.

I wish Thomas had studied the evidence as hard.
