About this listen
Foreign Faction blows the cover off the lone intruder / sexual predator theory and reveals startling new evidence that heretofore has only been seen by a select few. Kolar's work offers an entirely new perspective for the events leading up to JonBenet's murder on Christmas day 1996, and it will ultimately redefine the public's perception of one of the most unusual murder investigations this country has ever witnessed.

On Christmas Night 1996, six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in her family's home in Boulder, Colorado. A ransom note was found, but it was hours before her father, John, found her body in the basement. She had been strangled with a garrote and her skull was fractured. The media sensationalized the tragic death of the "child beauty queen" and public speculation and rumors ran rampant. What followed was one of the most notorious unsolved murder investigations in American history.

On June 25, 1973, a seven-year-old girl went missing from the Montana campground where her family was vacationing. Somebody had slit open the back of their tent and snatched her from under their noses. None of them saw or heard anything. Susie Jaeger had vanished into thin air, plucked by a shadow. As days stretched into weeks, and weeks into months, Special Agent Pete Dunbar attended a workshop at FBI Headquarters in Quantico, Virgina, led by two agents who had hatched a radical new idea: What if criminals left a psychological trail that would lead us to them?

Instead of paying a ransom and getting their daughter returned, JonBenét’s lifeless body was discovered early that afternoon in a little-used room of the family's cellar by her father and a family friend. JonBenet was discovered with tape across her mouth, a ligature buried deep in the skin of her neck through use of a garrote fashioned from cord and a broken ...

Great reader

Detailed information
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Kolar attempts to make the case that Burke did it and that’s what drew me to listen to this book. I initially thought Burke did it also. I wanted to see what evidence Kolar put forth. In the end, he would lose his case in a court of law because he does not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. I think he does a decent job at negating some of the evidence of the intruder theory proposed by famed investigator Lou Smit. But the problem is that Kolar never described his theory on how Burke actually did it and how the parents found their daughter and staged the crime. He only describes that Burke likely did it. But where are the details? And the details matter.
There is no way that a nine-year-old could have created a garrote with sophisticated knots, broken a thick wooden paint brush handle into 3 pieces, cut parachute cord (who has that in their house) in her bedroom, etc. Most people agree with this logic and say that is what the father John did AFTER they found JonBenet. But that creates a HUGE problem! That means that Burke did not strangle her, but struck her on the head (which goes against the autopsy evidence.) But… if that is the case, the parents would have called 911 if they discovered their unconscious or dead daughter without knowing who or how this happened.
It is important to remember that there’s absolutely no evidence of any trauma to JonBenét’s head by just looking at her. Even the police officers did not know she was struck on the head. This was only found at autopsy and not with a simple visual examination of the outside of her head.
It is extremely unlikely that if they found JB AFTER the head assault they would just assume…”she is probably dead, Oh, and Burke must have done it… and let’s now create the most ridiculous staging… create a garrote, write a 3 page ransom note, instead of just saying she fell down the stairs? If they SAW Burke strike her, they DEFINITELY would have called 911 immediately to try to save her life.
After studying this true crime case for many months, I simply cannot think of any scenario in which Burke commits this crime that makes sense in light of ALL of the evidence. And apparently, Kolar cannot think of any way either, because he never provides the details of how Burke did it, or where the assault occurred, or when it happened, or what implement was used to strike her, or anything like this. This is a huge problem!
On top of this major problem of the book, as other reviewers have mentioned, the narration is not very good at all. The woman who reads the book sounds like an AI generated voice with no emotion or intonation.
Don’t get me wrong, the book is well written, detailed and organized well and offers a few gems of insight. If you are an avid follower of this case, it is worth a listen. But it does not solve the case beyond a reasonable doubt. DA Alex Hunter was correct when he decided to not take this case to trial.
Very detailed, but left out the most important detail of all.

The book itself seems to be a bit of a diatribe on internal strife within the police department and DAs office in Boulder surrounding this crime. The author consistently teases - “more on this evidence later” or “more on that theory later” and then when the time comes to actually lay out his theory of the crime, he holds back and refuses to share it in the book, instead inviting readers to use their imagination to connect the dots themselves.
Overall, fairly frustrating listen and I won’t revisit it, but it did contain first-person content written by a person close to the case, so it may be interesting to those who are curious about the investigation itself.
Long teaser with no resolution
