James Kolar https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355063768s/15760050.jpg 21459789] utilizes a four-part structure to illustrate a thorough and factually driven picture of JonBenet???s murder, the aftermath, and the debate that continues until this day. An absolute must-read for anyone seeking more information on this case.[b: Foreign Faction 15760050 Foreign Faction - Who Really Kidnapped JonBenet? A. James Kolar https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355063768s/15760050.jpg 21459789] opens with a telling of what, based on interpreted evidence and John Ramsey???s on-record statements, an intruder scenario would look like. It turned me off at first, and I must admit it was due to my own biases; I???ve always believed wholeheartedly that there was no intruder involved. However, [a: A. James Kolar 6508540 A. James Kolar https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png] not only believes that there was no intruder, but disseminates the entire theory with factual precision. His tone is not malicious; rather, it wanders into incredulity, especially given some of the evidence and statements. Really, the only time emotion crept into Kolar???s narrative is when it???s relevant to his experience, or when it cannot be helped - shown clearly, for example, when he discusses John Ramsey's attempt to leave to Atlanta the very same day his daughter???s body had been discovered.Each piece of evidence - from the samsonite suitcase, the lock of hair knotted around the garrote, the infamous undisturbed webbing, even to the behavior Burke Ramsey exhibited after the fact - is discussed in detail, with pictures, and how it supports the family theory, especially when compared to the belief that an intruder was the culprit.It is obvious, though not stated plainly, which side Kolar falls on - this novel is not unbiased. But his conclusions are completely founded and researched, even if you were to put aside his integral role in the case itself. His tireless dedication to finding the truth led to a breakthrough regarding the twin abrasions on JonBenet's back - a breakthrough that, in my opinion, would not have occurred had Kolar not picked up the mantle and pushed through, despite heavy opposition from the DA.

I believe this to be required reading for anyone with interest in this case, and why it still remains open-but-cold. There is a reason that this book has over 4 stars on Goodreads.
