Hollywood P.I. Reveals Lost Lead in Jon Benet Murder
February 3rd, 2009
By Lawrence Olmstead
Veteran Private Investigator Lawrence Olmstead, of Hollywood P.I., recalls investigating the Jon Benet case in 1996
and 1997, and how the Colorado Bureau of Investigation ignored information developed by Olmstead leading to the
one true suspect. New DNA evidence may tell who molested Jon Benet but not who killed her, as the killer is quite
possibly dead.
Before reading this, you must keep in mind the Jon Benet murder affected more people's lives
than those directly related to Jon Benet. Discovering the truth in any matter can be a painful experience, and the
things and emotions that cause people to kill a loved one are deep, and sometimes the reasons why are never known
to anyone but the killer.
In my search for the truth, I discovered information that again I will release with the intention of finding justice for
Jon Benet, not for her family or anyone else. The following is not meant to be hurtful to those involved or connected
to the history of this murder, but instead a credible theory that should be considered.
I've worked in the investigative industry for over twenty years on various high profile investigations. In 1996, I was
hired by multiple national news agencies to investigate the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey. These agencies not only
used me to help break news stories on a daily basis, but also enabled me to conduct a full scale, independent
investigations of my own.
During my lengthy investigation and hours of interviews of people close to the Ramsey family, I developed information that was never used in the
criminal investigation. One piece of information I knew existed was obtained by a valued source of mine, a Colorado based company that
specialized in obtaining sensitive information for investigators. My source was written about in many newspapers and the subject of a grand jury
investigation centered around the information I am going to reveal. My source was a Denver company called “Touch Tone Data”. During my
investigation of Jon Benet's murder, I learned there was an American Express receipt signed by Patsy Ramsey for a purchase made just days before
the murder at Mc Guckin Hardware in Boulder, CO..
The receipt signed by Patsy Ramsey was for items that included duct tape and rope, so I was told. Before I could secure the physical
receipt, my source was indicted by the state of Colorado for racketeering. The timing was incredible, because that receipt contained
information that could link the Ramsey's in the death of their own daughter.
