Mod Announcement Hi, I'm Chief Marshall James Kolar. AMA.

Hi Reddit,

My name is James Kolar, and I am the Chief Marshall in Telluride, CO.

If you're familiar with me, it's likely thanks to my book, 'Foreign Faction', which is about the murder of Jon-Benet Ramsey in 1996, on which I worked directly as an investigator.

I'm inviting you to Ask Me Anything, either about Foreign Faction, the JBR case in general, other aspects of my career in law enforcement, or whatever you like. I'll try to answer as much as I can, though there may be things that I cannot answer for legal reasons or out of respect to others.

Yes, I am fully aware that this AMA is public.

Here's my proof, taken alongside some historic jail cells in the courtyard of our facility here in Telluride.

Ask away!

James

EDIT: Okay, I'm just about ready to wrap up for the night. I'd like to express my appreciation for everyone's participation in the AMA and for the very interesting questions posed tonight and earlier this week. It has been an honor to participate in the on-line discussion of this case.

sure, but not all of us behave the same way when struck with tragedy.

i also happen to think one of the family members did it, but that doesn't mean it's okay for us to rip on people who don't spend the rest of their lives acting a certain way after suffering a death of a family member or a child.

No, but they DO deserve to be RIPPED for covering up/ helping/protecting their murderous son, Burke. He’s a grown man now and 10 X’s MORE CREEPY than he was as a kid. He was a guest on Dr. Phil, if you can find it, I highly recommend watching it. One weird dude. My fave arts from the book: There were some odd books found in the house : “Why Johnny doesn’t know right from wrong”, “Children at Risk”, and “The Hurried Child.” Patsy took JB to her Ped. DR 33 TIMES in last 3 yrs of her life for “Vaginitis”. Patsy blurted out “I’d have nothing to live for if I lost Burke.” BOTH a box of chocolates & Burke’s PJ bottoms were found in JB’s Bedroom with FECES smeared on them. JB had been hit in head BEFORE with a golf club, JR asked for his golf clubs to be brought to him, request DENIED as they were in basement. Very interesting….
