Boulder Police have given up on Jonbenet murder
Nov 29th
Boulder December 1, 2025 Jonbenet murder case deader than she is Even though this cold case is 28 years old and even though Boulder PD put out a statement a month ago the police have totally given up. There was a cold case review that the D.A led. That went nowhere.
John Ramsey met with the police this year. They didn’t arrest him even though all the evidence and a Grand Jury indictment points to him. 
In fact the police fired lead detective Ron Gosage and replaced him with a new team of rookie detectives who know zero about the case. They made Gosage an assistant chief to keep him happy.

But talk to any long time Boulder detective involved with the case and they will tell you that the Ramseys did it. Commander Eller who first led the investigation and quit over a no arrest wanted the Ramseys arrested on day 1. Detective Steve Thomas confronted Patsey Ramsey on Larry King Live. He wanted to arrest her that night on set of the show. Thomas wrote a book about the case Detective Gossage saw all the signals that let to RDI. 
Police Chief Mark Beckner was the lead detective in the Ramsey case. Probably the smartest cop on the case laid out RDI in the Redditt AMA
The Ramseys to this day absolutely insist they had nothing to do with JonBenet’s murder . John Ramsey regular appears on TV shows, murder festivals and he’s sued everybody under the sun who accuse him or his family. Settlements have been in the millions of dollars. And we certainly are not accusing him here. The case continues to swirl on murder sites of the web. This one reviews the case daily on Redditt
There’s so much more we can write, but like the Sand Creek Massacre, this unsolved murder case leaves a blight on Boulder every Christmas day..
Boulder Police Department declares war on First Amendment and the Press
Nov 26th
Boulder Thanksgiving Day November 27 2025. In a shocking statement Boulder Police chief Stephen Redfearn announced he was turning the police department into a secret police similar to Russian Spetnaz or Stazi. BPD has cut off all communication with the press and public concerning immediate crime and police scanner activities.
BPD has cut BC1 news departments access to scanners. This is a targeted attack against Boulder Channel 1 News. This new secret police will hide police behavior and will lead to instant violations of Free Press coverage. This also put the public in danger since the police will be able to get away with abuse of citizens.
In a letter to Boulder Channel 1 News which has been covering BPD since 2006, Redfearn said that he did not consider BC1 worthy of police co operation, not a news organization and that he would block BC1 from police scanners.
This hostile action to BC1 has caused irreparable damage to our staff, reporters, sales department and ability to cover police activities. The editors are preparing for a fight with the city of Boulder and the police department over this hostile act by Redfearn and the city of Boulder
Boulder will not appeal recent airport ruling
Nov 14th
City will continue to prioritize safe airport operations as court appeal deadline passes
BOULDER, Colo. – The City of Boulder has made a decision not to appeal a recent court ruling in a case it filed last fall related to the Boulder Municipal Airport. The deadline for this decision was today, Friday, Nov. 14.
Last year, the city challenged the federal government’s position that a 1991 grant of $5,800 obligates the city to operate the Boulder Municipal Airport forever. The United States District Court granted the federal government’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, finding that a determination about the city’s obligation was premature. The court dismissed the case without prejudice.
After evaluating the ruling, the city has decided not to file an appeal. The city’s policy question around land use remains on hold at this time.
As there was no judicial answer to the city’s question of whether the United States can obligate the city to run the airport in perpetuity, the city continues to maintain that it is only obligated to operate the airport until May 2040, when the 20-year duration of its most recent federal grant will expire.
In the meantime, the city will continue to prioritize funding critical safety measures, such as pavement remediation, to operate the airport in compliance with all federal requirements. The 
city is exploring options to support aging infrastructure needs, as well as innovations such as exploring unleaded fuel options, with the airport fund and alternative grants that do not require city obligations for an extended time into the future.
Boulder Municipal Airport is a general aviation airport, providing business, private and recreational aviation services to the city and surrounding communities. Learn more on the airport webpage.
