Amazingly enough, JonBenet is news here

Although my mother was the first to break the story to me the other morning (I think she is on some list that delivers alerts when there is any news worldwide about this case), it seems JonBenet and Boulder Colorado are news in New Zealand. Big news. For the past two nights on the evening news, on the daytime news, and even on radio station news, JonBenet is the story. Gee, what a shock, the pedophile did it. At least we get to see shots of Boulder and Colorado and reminisce for a minute about our last home.

The funniest things are the descriptions of the story, the murder case that has "gripped the US for the past ten years," and the "beauty queen who's murder shocked a nation," etc. While it's true, it is funny to hear how the rest of the world talks about the US.

Oh and if any of you have any questions about the case or any of the details, I can get you in touch with my mother. She is the resident expert of Santa Fe (and Albuquerque nearby) and the former resident expert of Lake Stevens and Everett Washington--still serving in this position as they have not found another with the level of knowledge to replace her yet.

That case is so fascinating, and when I was in Boulder with my daughter, she drove me past the Ramsey house about 6 times, at my request, of course!! -Angela's Mom

She also got out of the car, ducked under the crime scene tape, looked in the windows, dusted for fingerprints with her CSI kit (music started playing in the background when this happened and suddenly it became night...?)and took out her mini flashlight as she entered into the house searching for clues. -Angela's mom's daughter Angela
