A long-awaited review of the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation by the Colorado Cold Case Review team is set to take place before year’s end. The Boulder police are cooperating. The decision to submit the case to outside review coincided with the reassignment of a detective who long held primary responsibility in this case. The PD said Thursday that the November 2022 reassignment of Commander Thomas Trujillo was not connected. (Sure.)

Ok, Michigan. Time’s up. Even Boulder PD has been convinced to cooperate despite the primary investigator’s decades-long death grip on the narrative about this child’s murder.
When agencies don’t play well with others and betray murder victims, it takes decades to move them off the dime. I hope despite their “primary responsibility” in this investigation that there are answers and accountability.
Take note, Oakland County Sheriff and Michigan State Police. Your primary jurisdiction might not be a brick wall.

Hey Cathy, This seems to be the best way to contact you. Detroit Free Press today has a huge special section on famous crimes in Michigan. However, nothing on OCCK.
At least they are consistent.
I am assuming it is the same section that is in The Detroit News special section titled “True Crime”. If so, it is a synopsis of true crime stories all over the country over decades.
In these stories, the main focus seems to be the diligent work of journalists and investigators to obtain the truth no matter how long it takes. OCCK would not apply because only 1 investigator, and only 1 journalist seemed to care in this case.
Here is the introduction to this particular special edition:
Unearthing critical details and getting to the truth demands hard work. It can lead to storytelling as remarkable as it is important.
True crime owes much of its appeal as a genre to the dogged work of local journalists. Their efforts to report the truth illuminate and inform while capturing our attention. Their efforts also can strengthen their communities, even in dark times.
Behind every story that shocks are the countless days, weeks and months local journalists commit to examining what happened. They fight to gain access to public records. They set aside their own revulsion to conduct fair and objective interviews. They strive for clarity, context and compassion while often riding the same emotional roller coaster as their readers.
For the more than 200 local news organizations that make up the USA TODAY Network, true crime isn’t just a genre to feature; it’s an obligation.
This is exactly right Cathy, if they wanted to solve it, they easily could. They just don’t want to, are under orders, are too cowardly. It’s agonizing.
