>So, if that's all you have, you're pretty much finished. Lighthouse, I too subscribe to an intruder theory, so I'm in no way denying the plausibility of an opportunistic attack. The issue is whether YOU have identified THE perps out of the sizable number that could have done it (the number is sizable indeed if, as your theory requires, we open the possibility to it being committed by someone just traveling through Boulder. I remain unconvinced by your evidence, probably for the same reason LE remains unconvinced (and they, unlike me, presumably have been given a chance to see all of it). If you had CONVINCING evidence, LE would be following your leads and you wouldn't be here stirring things up.

In the context of limited resources (last time I checked, even Boulder had limited LE resources), I would want LE to put its efforts into the most cost-effective approaches to finding the killer, i.e., those most likely to pay off. If I squander my resources on low yield activities such as tracking down psychic leads I run the risk of not having enough resources to properly pursue the leads that are most likely to lead to the killer, resulting in a perp that got away. I don't want the perp(s) to get away, do you?

Thanks for this prediction: it's amazing that LE have had your evidence for 3 years, done nothing with it, yet NOW you're SURE they will wrap up this case in a year. Can we have your promise that if this prediction doesn't come true you'll quit posting your nonsense on any JBR boards forever?

>Oh, by the way, one of them does live in Colorado.
Unless your theory is changed, the PLA member still living in CO had nothing to do with the murder: you claim it was a threesome. Now are you changing it to a foursome. Sure the "chief" may well have been at Cuervocon, but he wasn't in Boulder at Xmas 1996--at least not in the theory you were trotting about 3 years ago.

Last time I checked, CA wasn't CO.

Every highly publicized murder results in a tsunami of leads
from all sorts of cranks and crackpots. Your belief that each of these should be pursued betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how intelligent police work should be conducted. My advice to you is to not quit your day job: I don't think this sleuthing line of work is going to pan out for you.
