The confessed killer of JonBenet Ramsey is set to be returned to Colorado This is a good ending with a sad history behind it. We all remember the story and the years of accusations surrounding her parents. I have said many times that how terrible it would be if they were telling the truth about what happened to their daughter. They always maintained their innocence. Even the police fed the media with talk that pointed to her parents. Only a few years ago after a change in Boulders police leaders was it admitted that evidence did lead elsewhere. Now they have tracked down their man and he has confessed. I'm sad that Patsy didn't live to see the truth come out but she is hopefully with her daughter now and enjoying a reunion. This goes to show that in cases that are hard to find a motive too often police home in on the easiest explanation which requires the least amount of work in an attempt to wrap up the case. If they could find this man now clear on the other side of the world then just imagine how soon they could have solved it early on if they had even tried to investigate that the parents were telling the truth. I know that with statistics as they are that family must be looked at and considered as the possible suspect but that is not the only angle police should focus on. There should be a team of investigators looking at each possibility. This family was put through the ringer to the extent of even being brought up to a grand jury trying to get an indictment. Just imagine if they had got it then these parents could have been put into jail for a crime they didn't commit. Compounding their grief for their daughter. I think the Boulder police owe this family at the very least a very public apology. They had the ability to stand and condemn them so now let's see if they have the decency to apologize for the many years of agony they put onto this family. Better yet let's see if the media focuses on the truth here as much as they did on the false accusations.
