If you have some time this weekend, take a listen to this episode of The Opperman Report podcast (Killing of JonBenet Ramsey, May 22, 2022):
In this episode, Ed Opperman interviews authors/investigators Stephen and Joyce Singular (Presumed Guilty: An Investigation into the Jon Benet Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of Pornography (1999, digital update 2016)).
As you listen, you will hear many disturbing parallels to the OCCK case/investigation. Hang in there until the end of the podcast, where the Singulars specifically discuss similarities in other child exploitation/murder cases, citing the documentary Children of the Snow (OCCK case, https://www.hulu.com/series/children-of-the-snow-e5670464-7adc-4907-80c1-9f38ce17ee82 ) and the movie Spotlight (priest sexual abuse of children in Boston, https://couchpop.com/film/spotlight/).
Protecting people in power. Trying to preserve a community’s image by manipulation and ignoring the duty to crime victims. This always does severe, permanent damage to society.
Today is the anniversary of the 1975 kidnapping of Jimmy Hoffa. That is all over the Detroit news, but never anything about OCCK case.
Jimmy rules the Michigan netherworld. In the OCCK case, the Detroit-area media has never figured a way around the manipulation and lies of Brooks Patterson, Richard Thompson, Jessica Cooper and Paul Walton, and always succumbs to the “no comment” MSP without further digging.
