Reading the book, I found a few minor errors in the Ramsey chapters and will mention them here. Overall, I thought the book was very interesting but wished he had gone further into the false witnesses involved in this case - namely Vassar Professor Don Foster and Seraph's Dale Yeager.
OK, so the minor issues.
Right off he describes the crime and says Linda Arndt asked John Ramsey to search the house - - then she says it was 30 minutes before the body was found. I don't know exactly how long it took, but hearing John and Fleet describe that search, I would think it was more like 5 to 10 minutes.
Also said that in the early days, the DNA found in her panties was "unsuitable for DNA analysis" - and that is not true. I have copies of the DNA reports from days after the murder - - and several people were cleared immediately based on the DNA found mixed with the blood of JonBenet - in her panties, left from the sexual assault.
He had a couple things that I can't say I know or do not know to be true. But for the most part, he had stuff pretty well figured out.
He didn't really bring anything new to my attention but had a few stories that I had not heard before - I was entertained and think most would be by his small anecdotes.
