Boulder police chief exonerates Fleet and Priscilla White in death of JonBenet Ramsey
Source: Boulder Daily Camera
Boulder police Chief Mark Beckner released a statement today exonerating Boulder's Fleet and Priscilla White, one of two couples who came to the aid of John and Patsy Ramsey the morning their daughter JonBenet was discovered missing in 1996.
Beckner noted that "innocent community members" had been the target of speculation throughout the investigation into JonBenet Ramsey's murder, and had suffered as a result.
Fleet and Priscilla White, he said, are among them.
"The Boulder Police Department recognizes the suffering the Whites have endured as a result of the accusations made against the White family during the course of the investigation," Beckner's statement said.

Columbine AND JonBenet back in the news? Is it 1999 again?

(11,841 posts)I've always thought it was the brother. Whether some type of accident or jealousy induced attack or whatever. He was old enough to do commit the crime. And then the info you provided above states the parents "render assistance to a person", the killer, but didnt do it themselves. Who else would they ever help?

(5,025 posts)On Feb. 13, 1997, DA Hunter had a press conference in order to send a message to JonBenet's unknown killer: "You will pay for what you have done, and we have no doubt this will happen." The next day, Valentine's Day, Boots was found dead in his apartment. Supposedly, he had killed himself with a shotgun. Immediately, he became another "possible suspect"-albeit a dead one-in the Ramsey murder.
But the theory that JonBenet's killer got spooked and took his life had a gaping hole in it: The suicide began to look like a murder. Boots was right-handed and the bullet's trajectory went from left to right. In addition, someone had placed a pillow in front of his chest before firing the gun, something professional killers do to muffle the noise of a gunshot. In addition, Boots was a former military sharpshooter and parachutist who had been trained to use an M16 Rifle and hand grenades. I wondered: If Boots was a sharpshooter, why the odd trajectory?
When police took crime scene photos at Boots' apartment, two items grabbed their attention. Not only was there a pair of Hi-Tec climbing boots by the dead man's feet, there was a stun gun beside his hand and a Taser in the distance. Supposedly, Boots also owned a baseball cap with the letters "SBTC" on it. Later, a friend of Boots found a videotape in the dead man's apartment that intrigued police. It was footage of a newscast from a couple of years before. The news story featured an unsolved case involving a kidnapped and murdered 6-year-old girl. Was the newscast a random recording left behind by someone else? Or was it a trophy of some kind?
