About this listen
Perhaps the most compelling murder case of our day, the death of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey galvanized the nation - and years after it occurred, the mystery still endures. Who killed the young beauty queen and why? Who is covering up for whom, and who is simply lying? In JonBenet, the most authoritative and comprehensive study of the Ramsey murder, a former lead Boulder Police detective, Steve Thomas, explores the case in vivid and fascinating detail - pointing the way toward an analysis of the evidence some deem too shocking to consider.
Here, Thomas raises these and many other provocative questions:
How was the investigation botched from the beginning, and why did police so carelessly allow the crime scene to be tampered with?
Why were John and Patsy Ramsey protected from early questioning and any lie-detector tests, even though their stories and behavior were erratic, suspicious, and inconsistent?
Why was crucial evidence ignored, why were certain key witnesses unquestioned by detectives, and why were the Ramseys privy to sensitive information about the case and even police reports?

Story
It was the trial that stunned America, the verdict that shocked us all. On July 5, 2011, nearly three years after her initial arrest, Casey Anthony walked away, virtually scot-free, from one of the most sensational murder trials of all time. She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

When the pretty, blonde Utah mother went missing in December of 2009 the media was swept up in the story - with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.

From the outside, the prosecution's case looked bulletproof, but Marcia Clark knew better. Mountains of physical evidence connected O. J. Simpson to the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but that didn't mean it would be easy. For the woman charged with prosecuting the "Trial of the Century", the light of fame would glow white hot, as the media scrutinized her strategy, her family, even her hair. As the case spun out of control, Marcia Clark stood tall.

Written by four award-winning crime reporters who covered the story for more than 20 years, Bind, Torture, Kill is the most intimate and complete account of the BTK nightmare

Story
He was a model citizen. A hospital volunteer. And one of the most sadistic serial killers of all time. But few people could see the cruel monster beneath the colorful clown makeup that John Gacy wore to entertain children in his Chicago suburb. Few could imagine what lay buried beneath his house of horrors—until a teenage boy disappeared before Christmas in 1978, leading prosecutor Terry Sullivan on the greatest manhunt of his career.

As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all; he was a star athlete with good looks and an award-winning student. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had more than his share of women. But he wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way. As the list of the dead grew, the police mobilized to stop a twisted killer who had 44 known deaths to his name.

Narration is awful.
It is impossible to actually enjoy this audiobook because of the robotic narration. Would not recommend.

An often unheard point-of-view
I know that in all things you have 3 possible stories: one side, the other side, and somewhere in the middle you find the truth. This being said, if even half of this autho's story is true, the mishandling and political posturing by the DA and the Ramseys is disgusting. I was a teenager when this crime occurred and even then with my limited experience I thought that the Ramseys we're behaving strangely. Now, as and adult and with a child of my own, I find their behavior incriminating and subversive. Hearing how they endlessly ducked opportunities to help and have pandered to the media constantly ( even now, 20 years later, they continue to do so), I can't help but think they are covering up for either themselves or their son and the DA helped them do it. I t breaks my heart to think JonBenet might never have justice, but I am glad some brave souls are willing to come forward and she'd what light they can.

An in the trench pov
Definitely some coverups happening. It will never be solved unless there is a deathbed confession (and the main suspect in most eyes has already passed away). Too much tampering with evidence has occurred for any cold case investigators to straighten it .

Best of the Saddest True Crime.
The only negative sentence is that I have a hard time with people resorting to using the F word. This is a brilliant author so I think perhaps he could have used a different word. That being said, it was well done. I’ve followed from the beginning and in fact have walked around the house and peered in the windows. The basement window was still broken! His work was never for naught, anyone intently following this case could see the terrible way it was handled . A good read if you are interested in this poor child’s story.

Excellent first hand account of a tragedy that still frustrates true crime investigators and armchair detectives. Concise and clear narration.

well done
amazing details as to what really took place inside the Ramsey's home and the corrupt DA. I'm so angry the Ramseys have never been charged with murder. I know in my heart they are guilty

Excellent true crime expose
This book is by far one of the best books on the subject. Steve Thomas deserves a medal for his desperate but ultimately doomed attempt to find justice for Jonbenet Ramsey.
Former district attorney Alex Hunter should have been charged with obstruction of justice, especially now that it has come out that he was handed a grand jury report recommending indictment of the Ramseys but he craftily worded his statement to the press in such a way that it *appeared* the grand jury was inconclusive. I hope the man spends the afterlife staring into the eyes of that little girl begging for forgiveness for stealing justice from her out of some strange mixture of incompetence and political ambition. The same goes for the rest of his merry band of morons in the Boulder DA.

How to get away with murder…do it in Boulder 🤦🏻♀️
Fascinating, unimaginable, make you sick-to-your-stomach cover ups by the Boulder DA, politicians and chiefs of police and the smoke screens and entitled behavior by the Ramseys.
