"Why turn in Jazzy?"
Posted by jameson on Dec-25-01 at 08:35 PM (EST)
I was recently asked why I bothered to turn in Jazzy for her OBVIOUS false confession.
Yes, I figured the confession was a lie - - and I made that very clear when I passed the information to Chief Beckner and others. My conversations with Jazzy indicated she was lying.
Why did I do turn n the emails and URL to the confession? Because I think people should realize that coming forward with false tips is not funny or harmless. It takes time for investigators to clear such leads, and often it costs serious money.
I sent the false confession to the authorities and they tracked the person who posted the fictional account.... that person did have to answer for what they did. I do think that whole incident will make people think twice before they play such "games".
The USA Today story:
AOL user's name given to police in JonBenet case
DENVER (AP) — America Online has given police the name of a user who allegedly claimed in a Web site posting to have witnessed JonBenet Ramsey's murder, authorities said Saturday.
Police said they know the subscriber's name and place of residency, but would not release further details. They are reviewing the subscriber's records, screen names, e-mail files, buddy lists and aliases, Boulder Police spokeswoman Jana Peterson said.
"We certainly would be thrilled if this turns out to be the answer to some of our questions," she said.
The Dulles, Va.-based AOL turned over the information sometime last week, Peterson said. According to a search warrant affidavit for the records, Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner received an e-mail Aug. 8 from an AOL user saying that a "confession" had been posted on a Web site devoted to JonBenet.
Detectives reviewing the site found an Aug. 7 message posted by "BnJazzy4ever45."
"I feel so guilty for what I've. Done," the message read. "I was there when the whole thing occurred. I never wanted any part in it, but they said if I didn't help I would be killed as well. I was only 14 when this took place, so I went along with the whole plan."
The e-mail also says whoever killed the 6-year-old beauty queen was a handyman in the Ramsey home who had a key to the family's home.
"From our perspective this is not any more or less significant than any of the other leads we're following," Peterson said.
AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham said Friday that the company was cooperating with authorities. He declined to identify the source of the message.
JonBenet was found beaten and strangled on Dec. 26, 1996, in her family's home. A grand jury investigated for 13 months without indicting anyone.
