K。S。 Morgan,
Paula Woodward’s new book “Unsolved” takes its audience back to the events that happened in December 1996 in Boulder, CO。 It reviews some of the evidence and provides unique insights into the Ramsey family, and like most books, it has its strengths and weaknesses。First of all, what makes “Unsolved” unique is the previously unpublished photos of actual reports from the case。 They include testimony from multiple people who knew the Ramseys and shared their opinions with the investigators (all 11 p Paula Woodward’s new book “Unsolved” takes its audience back to the events that happened in December 1996 in Boulder, CO。 It reviews some of the evidence and provides unique insights into the Ramsey family, and like most books, it has its strengths and weaknesses。First of all, what makes “Unsolved” unique is the previously unpublished photos of actual reports from the case。 They include testimony from multiple people who knew the Ramseys and shared their opinions with the investigators (all 11 pages)。 There are also words from Jan, John Ramsey’s current wife。 Her story about watching John break down after seeing a happy child resembling JonBenet is touching on every level。 Regardless of what theory people hold about the identity of JonBenet’s killer, there are few doubts that John and Patsy Ramsey were deeply scarred by what happened。 Woodward, being in a unique position to interview the family and get their perspective, provides tidbits with descriptions of their emotions and struggles that people who are fascinated with this case will find illuminating。 There are also some rare/previously unseen photos that make the book compelling。 You can find brief updates about the life of the majority of key players and the positions they are holding at the moment。 How JonBenet was seen, what she was like, what image the family has of her now — these are small but vivid aspects that anyone familiar with this case is going to appreciate。 However, that brings me to another point。Woodward majorly relies on the documents provided by Lou Smit, who was hired specifically to review the case from the defense perspective。 It’s not a secret that he became very personally invested in it。 By 2021, most of his beliefs were long refuted, and yet the book presents them anew。 Several examples: Woodward claims that no one from the Ramseys owned Hi-Tec boots, the footprint from which was left in the basement and was thought to belong to an intruder。 However, after GJ, it was discovered that Burke had such boots and left that footprint。 The hair thought to be pubic and unknown was determined to come from Patsy or someone from her maternal line。 No stun gun that would match the marks on JonBenet’s back was ever found: in fact, Smit himself admitted this。 Stun gun manufacturers stated that their device didn’t leave those marks, too。 And there are quite a few examples of this, so in many respects, Woodward’s info is outdated and contributes to confusion。 There are smaller issues, too: for instance, JonBenet’s eyes were green, not blue。 John and Jan got married in 2011, not 2014。 People who should read this book: everyone who has a passionate interest in JonBenet’s case and looks forward to getting new material will find it useful。 Seeing photos of original files and testimony is always fascinating。 Reading about the dynamics of the Ramsey family, the way John is living now and what he thinks are also insights you won’t get anywhere else。 Those who consider starting their journey through this case with this book: you should keep in mind that it is written from the perspective of the Intruder Did It theory strictly, to the point where 99% of conflicting information is not presented。 So you should read it for getting the perspective of the Ramsey family and Lou Smit。 It’s a big and relevant part of this case, and Woodward basically collected the entire theory in one place。 It means that you’ll benefit by reading the book since you’ll learn everything about IDI — however, it should not be your stopping point because there is much more material to cover。 *ARC provided in exchange for honest review。 。。。more
