JonBenet Ramsey Update: Randy Simons: Addendum
One investigator who the Boys In The Zellar worked with for many years, said something interesting several years back....
He said, " If the truth ever comes out about what happened at St. John's (Ramsey Church In Boulder), it would be like a nuclear bomb going off in the center of town. That's your best chance of catching the killer/s and solving the murder of JBR"
A lot of covering up has been going in Boulder. Has been for decades.
This case is personal for the Boys In The Zellar. Been working it from day one.
JonBenet's Pageant photgrapher, Randy Simons, sentenced today to 10 years. Fifteen counts of First Degree "Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse"
We've been screaming about him since 1998-1999.
I'm sure the Boulder Police Department won't have much to say about it.
Boulder likes to keep things quiet. Boulder has many dark secrets.
When it comes to the Ramsey case....
"When a town tries to protect itself, the truth becomes obscured".
The Ramsey case has always been about the town. But nobody really looked at the town. The media had everyone looking solely at the parents, or a lone intruder.
The Boys In The Zellar, however, did not fall for the fake narratives.
We looked.....
And boy, do we have a story to tell.....
Thank you for devoting so much time and energy toward finding the truth amid this quagmire of tragedy. Sadly I believe that these sorts of things often stay buried in towns and cities around the world. People tend to want to keep things hidden when it might reflect badly upon or expose current and/or former residents.
ReplyDeleteI've lived in and around Mena, Arkansas for almost fifteen years. Shortly after I arrived in this neck of the woods I found a book in the local library that told of Mena's part in the Iran Contra shenanigans. Through the years this area has become a magnet for retirees from all over the country. Still many of the people I've met can say that their people have been here for generations. In fact a large portion of the old timers and their descendants speak of having no electricity or running water just one generation ago.
I've found this area to be extremely clannish; protecting their own above all else. Especially when it comes to newcomers; which includes anyone who can't trace their lineage back at least two generations. My Ex-husband's family tree has roots all over Arkansas beginning with a wagon train that landed about 70 miles from Mena coming from Mississippi in 1837. As a result I have been brought into the fold, so to speak, by way of marriage.
If you are accepted here, you will never find a more friendly and willing to help group of people. I've often described it as an Arkansas version of Mayberry because it's laid back and people warmly greet each other everywhere you go in town. My Dad was an Army Chaplain and the only comparison I can come up with was how communities formed no matter where my Dad was stationed around the world. And just as the military took care of their own, no matter what the circumstances, the people of Mena are similar in that regard.
What I was getting around to, in this long winded diatribe, was the fact that I have not found any locals willing to talk about the part Mena played in the drugs and gun running operations that occurred in this area. Those who might have entertained my interest made sure to tell me that it didn't happen the way it's described. While I'm sure there is some truth to that, I have been surprised by the brick wall of silence on the matter. I suspect there is something similar happening with the people of Boulder. They just want to forget anything and everything that might taint their city and citizens and simply sweep it under the rug.
As an interesting side note, when the movie "American Made: starring Tom
Cruise was in production, gossip was rampant that the movie might be filmed at least partially in and around Mena. Some hopeful investors got together and refurbished the local theater to standards only found in a large cinema complex. Apparently there was even talk about possibly premiering the movie here in Mena bringing a much needed boost to the local economy.
Nothing of the sort happened. The film was shot in Atlanta and the local area didn't, as far as I know, reap any benefit from the digging into and exposing Mena's dirty laundry. Oh, I take that back. We now have a small but fancy theater that is rarely open due to lackluster attendance and the operating expenses involved in running a theater with all the bells and whistles.
Thank you again for all you do.
