#0, Chief: Cops didn't leak Ramsey tapes Posted by jameson on Sep-30-02 at 11:33 PM Denver Post Story September 29, 2002 "Chief: Cops didn't leak Ramsey tapes" Boulder police did not leak videotapes in which authorities interrogated John and Patsy Ramsey about the 1996 slaying of their daughter, Police Chief Mark Beckner said. Excerpts of the tapes are scheduled to air on national television Friday. CBS' "48 Hours Investigates" will feature them in a report called "Searching for a Killer," the Boulder Daily Camera reported Saturday. The Ramseys have maintained their innocence since JonBenét Ramsey was found strangled and beaten in the basement of their home on Dec. 26, 1996. The former Boulder couple and parents of the slain beauty queen met with investigators three times: once in Boulder in April 1997, three days in June 1998 in Broomfield and in August 2000 in Atlanta. It was unclear which videotape would be featured on the program. Portions of the videotape contain sensitive information never released that could be damaging to the nearly 6-year-old investigation, Beckner said. I don't see how releasing those tapes could damage a non-existant BPD investigation. JMO I think all the files should be opened. Let the killer be exposed so much his family and friends will KNOW it was him. Maybe someone will come forward then and solve the mystery. #1, Don't you understand "newspeak"?

Don't you understand 'newspeak'? If a civil servant gets an appraisal of 'superior performance' the supervisor actually means 'I don't want to spend endless hours appealing the disgruntled gold-bricker's complaints, I am passing him on to become someone else's problem'. "could be damaging to the investigation" means 'I don't like anybody looking over my shoulder and telling me I'm doing a lousy job, so anything, no matter how innocuous, that sheds any light on the files could be damaging to the investigation, so go away and let me eat my donuts in peace and quiet without some nosy do-gooder trying to tell me how to run my department'. #2, RE: Don't you understand "newspeak"?

But I think he may have to deal with some of it. Hope someone is taping this for him. #3, There goes that ego again.... Posted by Maikai on Oct-02-02 at 11:10 PM In response to message #2 a truly good investigator would not make up his/her mind beforehand, and would look at every bit of information with an open mind. #4, maikai Posted by Guppy on Oct-03-02 at 01:08 AM In response to message #3 > a truly good investigator would not make up his/her mind beforehand, and would look at every bit of information with an open mind. I guess this means that Steve Thomas won't be tuning in either. #5, Guppy..... Posted by Maikai on Oct-03-02 at 04:55 AM In response to message #4 and I bet no one asks ST his opinion, either!
