The Cases That Haunt Us

From Jack the Ripper to JonBenet Ramsey, the FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Sheds Light on the Mysteries That Won't Go Away

A very interesting take on some famous cases by a former FBI Murder investigator. I can't help but feel that Douglas wrote all the preceeding chapters (Jack The Ripper, Lizzie Borden, The Zodiac, etc.) using the presumption of certain theories and rationales in order to justify his take on the final story about JonBenet Ramsey, an investigation that he was personally involved with. In reading his meanderings and musings, his constant attempts to look at everything BUT the evidence, I get the distinct feeling that this man is covering up for someone or something. Too many holes and contradictions made me very suspicious of his true motive for writing the book at all. I had no real opinion on the Ramsey case one way or the other until I read this book and now that I have, I have a very difficult time believing Douglas was actually looking for a killer. It rather appears he was spending all his energies trying to vindicate the very suspicious parents of this little girl.
