JonBenet Ramsey murder probe soon to get fresh eyes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:53:29 GMT

A long-awaited review of the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation by the Colorado Cold Case Review Team, with the cooperation of the Boulder Police Department, is set to take place before the year’s end.The decision to submit the case to outside review coincided with the reassignment of a detective who had long held primary responsibility for its investigation.Boulder police said Thursday that the November 2022 reassignment of Commander Thomas Trujillo had no connection to the Ramsey case. It did, however, generally coincide with the department’s agreement — just after Trujillo’s reassignment — to welcome greater involvement by other investigating agencies. Trujillo was assigned to the detective bureau at the time of JonBenet’s December 1996 murder. He was one of two lead detectives on the perplexing case throughout much of its duration.On Nov. 1, 2022, Trujillo was moved from the Investigations Unit to the Watch 3 Patrol after an internal probe into the Investigat...

Practice is way harder. You’re playing with better dudes. That’s the biggest change from high school to college. But I th...

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney always felt connected to the late, great Tigers coach Frank Howard. Both are Alabama natives and Swinney met Howard as a young boy when the longtime coach came to a birthday party for Swinney’s mom. Now, Swinney’s joined Howard as Clemson’s leader in career victories with 165 after a 17-12 win over Wake Forest on Saturday. “I don’t think that’s a coincidence,” Swinney said Saturday of his history with Howard. “Hopefully, I’m here a long time and we win many more games,” Swinney continued. “But Frank Howard is Clemson.” So far, the 53-year-old Swinney’s made a strong run to overtake that legacy. Cade Klubnik and Will Shipley ran for touchdowns and Clemson’s defense held Wake Forest in check throughout .It was far from a pretty performance on a picture-perfect day. Still, Clemson (4-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) won its 15th straight over Wake Forest (3-2, 0-2) and posted a second-strai...
