 jameson posts on BoulderNews Forum

ROTFLMAO Don Foster struck up an e-mail conversation with me last Spring that lasted weeks. He took REAMS of my posts of the net, studied them - and turned me in as the killer - or an accessory to the murder - of JonBenét. He also wrote me a letter - sent it  certified mail to my friend's house where I said I lived - and outlined how I could ;confess; to my part. Nice guy that he is, he offered to act as a go-between. :)  He later did  something similar to another poster. Impressed? I thought it was a HOOT . Yes, he did         reveal Joe Klein as the author of PRIMARY COLORS. He was given a list of suspected  authors and.... well - here is the story - read it yourself - he wrote it - the URL is         http://www.evangelist.macaddict.com/messages/digest440  Oh what the heck - here it is - in his words.

"In February 1996, I was asked by *New York* Magazine to identify the Anonymous who wrote the best-seller, *Primary Colors*. I was able in a few days' time to identify Joe Klein as the author -- this was five months before he 'fessed up -- but I could not have fingered Klein without help from Retrieve It [Retrieve It! is a Mac-only text-retrieval utility by MVP Solutions.] Having first constructed an electronic text archive  of all likely candidates for Anonymous. I used Retrieve It to locate an author who shared  linguistic and grammatical peculiarities with Anonymous. I found that no one but Joe Klein could have written *Primary Colors*. Retrieve It [and my Mac] in a matter of  seconds, performed research that would otherwise have taken months to complete."

 

I was informed that my name was being bantered around Boulder and I was being discussed as someone being fingered- I called Boulder and cleared my name. YES - I can say SOMEONE suspected me in this matter - LOL In the Person Zor, Connecticut case they said they are impressed with his work - but the case remains unsolved.  I wonder if they would have fared better WITHOUT the input of my friend Don. He told me long ago that he was a consultant in the Unabomber case - yet an exhaustive search on-line revealed  nothing of the kind.  Maybe he is just sending in his stuff free there too - I couldn't find him listed as working on the case, commenting on the case, could be wrong ..

From today's  news {11/19/1997} - In the Ramsey case, Foster has provided Alex Hunter, the Boulder County, Colo., district attorney, with extensive notes on the ransom letter found after the 6-year-old JonBenet was murdered, and has studied letters from supposed tipsters as he calls them.

Well - I know months ago he was looking for an - someway to get involved. He was sending notes and ideas and tips to EVERYONE. Guess he finally found someone to listen. Well, I have to admit, I was taken in early on too. I mean VASSAR. If I learned anything from my experience with the Vassar professor it was that degrees don't mean  diddly-squat and that you indeed can NOT judge a book by the title, scratch that, cover, scratch that, self-description. Oh - want a peek at the guy? Look fast - I don't know how long he will leave it up - but his picture is found at http://faculty.vassar.edu/~foster

Boy - this made my day. LOL If he gets famous, maybe the certified letter he sent me - the one with detailed instructions of how to confess my part to him so I could look in the mirror with some degree of self respect- maybe one day it will be worth - - - the price of a  cup of coffee. ROTFLMAO Hunter needs to take a deep breath before he acts on anything  this guy says IMO, of course.

 

Below are a few messages I received from jameson re: Foster

 

The 48 Hours show will be good - it really will.  Foster will chit when he sees it. I think he thought i didn't save anything - I saved almost all of it.

 

Hope the editors do a good job.  The reporter said she knows what they are doing and i will be pleased.

I don't know what I will be like after that show - - maybe a basket case.  Meeting to talk about it?  I would want to really pay attention to it.  After the show would be a better idea.

 

I am not posting all the e-mails or the certified letters or the fax - it is just a page on Foster and some that h has done.  Want to see it? 

No, I am not going to publish that yet - that may be something I can use to get more publicity on a higher level later (Newsweek maybe)

 

I am doing all I can to make this story stay out there for a while so people really HEAR it.

 

I am playing a card - then he will have to respond.  There is more than the letter to me - he can explain that away.  There is a FAX to someone else.  THAT is what will nail him.

 

 Yes, it is on 48 Hours -  I will tell you here and trust you NOT TO SHARE WITH ANYONE!!!

 I have a FAX he sent to his literary agent where he brags on having solved the crime - 2 1/2 pages long - and he id's jameson as JAR.  THOUSANDS of pages of my writing and he determined I was a 20 year old homicidal male.  Now how can he look at 31 sentences and say the ransomnote could only be by Patsy?

They arelooking - I have been invited to go on LEEZA (NO!) and I am waiting to hear back from Inside Edition (maybe) and MSNBC - (a yes if they send the ticket)

I am not sure - Jim and I are going away until Sunday night anyway - not sure if we are going off alone or to NYC where I will talk to people - waiting to hear from someone in NY now.

 

Then I may stay in NYC a while longer alone - OR if we go off alone,  I may be flying alone to NY on Monday.

 

I will be checking my e-mail - I will mail myself one of the letters so I can copy and send it out, OK?  I will try to keep up on that.

I put up the page - the link works from the ASpril month - I need to fix the button on the monthly index page - but the counter is off, I think - you open the page from ws thread and see if the counter works for you??

I am messing it up - too tired, no sleep lately.  I have two buttons to it - one on April and one on the monthly index page.  I am linking them to the one page - copying and pasting the URL from the page I opened after I put the page on the index

Would you fix it?

I deleted it and tried to rename the Foster Page as fosterpic.jpg

It won't take
all 1999 months are htm
The Foster Page?  html

I see a couple of words that still don't have spaces between them, but the people will have to deal with that

yes, that is the one I want to save

so now can everyone read it?  Is that the URL on WS?  May need to fix that, huh?  going to try.

Oh, it was just a thought - the counter - if it won't work, I will survive.

Thank you!

murphy: Now...   You need to change the URL to the "Foster" button  on ~jamsjameson or give me the password...   

same password as jamesons

I am so tired from being wired waiting for this I am doing nothing - feel like going to sleep!  LOL

 

4/12/99 AM: Good morning.

Waiting to hear from some news stations - I intend to go to NYC and give some more interviews - 48 Hours did OK but was a bit unclear and didn't say that the authorities KNEW all that when they used Foster...

Jack Furlong is talking to MSNBC about bringing me up - I don't know what show - I think Judge and Jury

Doug longhini is asking CBS if they are interested in me on the morning show.

I have to call InsideEdition back

and I am considering DateLine and Larry King Live - I am not sure but have a couple people who offered to go to them for me too
