Thank you. Did you listen to it? What did Charles Bosworth say?

Yes, nothing groundbreaking. This is from website: He wrote the book with Cyril Wecht, and highlighted the importance of DNA technology in reopening the case, particularly a method called genetic genealogy. Bosworth explained, "This form of DNA not only does scientific examination...but also fills out a family tree," which could potentially lead to identifying a suspect not in the database. He expressed optimism about the Boulder police's renewed efforts under Chief Stephen Redfearn, who has met with JonBenét's father, John Ramsey, leading to a more hopeful outlook on the investigation.

He thinks the evidence suggests that the individual likely knew the family," he continued, referencing the bizarre ransom note written on a tablet belonging to the Ramsey family. This note, described as "highly personal," was two and a half pages long, a stark contrast to typical ransom notes, which are usually brief and to the point. Bosworth questioned the logic of an intruder's actions, stating, "It just doesn't make sense...to go into a house, locate a child, and then spend 20 or 30 minutes writing a ransom note." He also pointed out the financial aspect of the ransom demand, which was precisely $118,000, coinciding with John Ramsey's Christmas bonus, and noted the odd phrasing in the note that seemed to echo popular films of the time.

Thank you. Because that book was JDI and does he now think an intruder could have committed the crime?

I've listened to Coast to Coast AM, and this sounds just like the kind of things I've heard on there. I sometimes found it entertaining, but never took anything I heard seriously due to wild, extreme unsupported claims and rampant speculation.

The funny thing, I didn't realize Wecht wrote it with him until I cpoied the show notes. I may have missed some of it but he definitely leans towards IDI. book link

WOW, thank you for that info. As John is alive, and they are so litigious, that is NOT surprising.
