Someone named Tom Heneghan, purportedly on the basis of inside sources, makes several big claims about JBR's father John. It says that John Ramsey, through his computer company Access Graphics (a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin), was a player in the Iran-Contra affair, which George H.W. Bush essentially ran. Among the claims:
-
John Ramsey was on independent counsel Lawrence Walsh's list of witnesses to subpoena, but he never got called
-
The phone numbers of Oliver North (a Lt. Col. directing Iran-Contra), Edwin Meese (attorney general under the later Reagan years), and Bill Clinton (protected Mena drug running) were found in Ramsey's office
-
Bank accounts of Access Graphics, a Boulder CO company, were located at Silverado Savings and Loan, a corrupt S&L in Denver CO run by Neil Bush (George H.W. Bush's son) that collapsed and resulted in criminal charges against Neil
None of these allegations have been verified so far, but if they turn out to be true, they could be a major new clue in the JBR case. I'm currently trying to verify one of these claims by doing a public records request for Walsh's witness list. Anyone else's help in verifying or debunking Heneghan's claims would be greatly appreciated.
What has been confirmed so far:
-
The Ramseys hired a media consultant (read: spin doctor) named Patrick Korten, who previously worked for both Oliver North and Edwin Meese
-
Both Lockheed Martin (which acquired Access Graphics in 1991, after Iran-Contra) and Edwin Meese would be involved in a lesser-known scandal that grew out of Iran-Contra called the Inslaw/PROMIS affair. It involved the theft of PROMIS data mining software (which Meese played a role in), and its subsequent alteration by the CIA and its proprietaries (including Lockheed Martin) to merge it with artificial intelligence. Also involved in the Inslaw affair was Robert Byrd, a Senator from West Virginia. JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, won Miss West Virginia in 1977 and then attended ribbon cuttings with Gov. Jay Rockefeller and Sen. Byrd.

I am heavily involved in researching right now or would help. But here is something I remember in reading a pretty complete report. That there is opinion that the people at the Christmas Party the Ramseys attended those people were involved and that there was a sort of disgusting party around JonBenet. There was a man that played Santa Clause that was also mentioned. I believe that these people were also not interviewed nor was the guest list given to the police. You can bet that some Lockheed people were there.

Dave McGowan's book "Programmed to Kill", in the chapter entitled "Boulder", gave a good overview of the theory that JonBenet was ritually abused and murdered at the Christmas party hosted by Fleet White. He also mentions a party 2 days earlier that had a suspicious 911 call, and has not had the guest list released.

HIs theory did make sense based on the undigested pineapple in her stomach. She was killed while being abused at the party they attended earlier, and they brought her body back to their home and then attempted a cover-up. No wonder why their boy is so messed up. He most likely rode in the back seat with his dead sister, knowing she was dead, but his parents telling him she was just sleeping. Would explain why he would not know any details, too.

That's what I think as well. Burke does seem messed up, but the theory that he killed JBR has never resonated with me. In my view, the best theory that fits all the facts is the child sex ring theory, no matter how much the JBR investigative community derides it.

Maybe both things happened @ carmencita. Maybe they made him participate in some abuse at the party, but he was not there when she died and did not cause her death. Knowing how kids think, when he found out she was dead on the ride home, he probably thought that what he did killed her, even though it wasn't. That may be why I read somewhere that his voice could be heard in the background when Patsy made the 911 phone call. The Ramseys said that Burke was in his room the entire time, but when his voice was heard he became a suspect. Wasn't he heard to say something like.."did I do it?" He probably was wondering if he did it. He could have just touched her on the ride home, too, after he was told not to.
