Twice in 2024 my brothers and I asked for a meeting with the head of the Michigan State Lab to answer our questions and discuss the status of the evidence and whether it is amenable to further testing, further forensic genetic genealogy, and why they have refused to consider testing evidence beyond the Y-str sample in Kristine’s case. While we were initially told this could happen, we were ghosted when attempting to set a date/time. As another year comes to a close we will again have to stay on these people.

If our brother’s case is at the end of the road due to the state of the evidence, I would like them to tell us to our faces. That is not too much to ask.

The Ramseys have been waiting for just under 30 years. We have been waiting for almost 48.

While we were not literally suspects in Tim’s case, like the Ramsey family members were initially (which damaged the investigation and the Ramseys), we have been treated like suspects ever since we started asking questions in 2005. Especially by the Michigan State Police and later then Prosecutor Jessica Cooper and her #2, Paul Walton.

While they seemed to revel in treating us like shit, it does nothing to absolve them of their duty to four dead Michigan kids whose cases sit on their shelves. So we will keep asking.
