James Thompson at Boulder County Jail

MESSAGE FROM: OCT 17th

On Friday Oct.16th in the kitchen, some of us trusties and one jail employee were casually discussing the R. case. A new kitchen trusty named DEAN COLE went by and then came back to join the conversation. Cole said he installed the marble counter tops in the Ramsey kitchen 5 weeks before the murder. Cole specifically recalls the Rs wanting job done by Thanksgiving but it wasn't finished. Cole spent 2 days at the R. house. Cole said the Rs stayed elsewhere because of the mess. Cole said he met John Ramsey and that he "was a real nice guy." Cole said he didn't find anything "wierd" about Ramsey. Ramsey inspected progress and left.

Others were in R. house doing other remodeling work. Cole said he did enter the basement of the R. house to obrain buckets of water from the water heater. Other workers from other companies working elsewhere in the house did the same. Cole said the police never contacted him about anything to do with the R. house. Cole said "they may have called "so and so" and Cole mentioned a couple of his employees names. But Cole had no knowledge of any remodeling workers actually being contacted by the police. Cole said that the Ramseys "signed off" on the marble job the day after it was completed and that they were happy with it. End Cole story.

Are these the kinds of things you web people want to know? Should I bother with them? I realize it's just a snippet that doesn't necessarily point to anything. But it certainly could explain the HI TECH boot mark. Cole lives 2 cells down from me, I guess I could ask him about that. But I don't really know him and it's embarrassing to "interview" people in this situation. Oh, and I have no idea what Cole's case is and THAT I wouldn't tell you....

....MORE ON COLE: I asked him about HI TECH. He doesn't have any. Couldn't resist asking though. He is in here on VERY minor charges and will be gone before this is posted. Trying to get him to call Peter Boyles, but he's too shy. END...

...Someone should ask BLUE LOU SMIT why HE NEVER talked to all the remodelling workers. THE SHOES. THE SHOES. ANYONE could have stood in HI TECH SHOES. Cup-O-Diarhea in yer face LOU.
