John Wesley Anderson’s book tells the inside story of the murder of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey. JonBenet was murdered in her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado, on Christmas night 1996. This presentation will share 20 of Detective Lou Smit’s original investigative slides which shows compelling evidence of an intruder.

This PowerPoint presentation includes evidence foreign to the crime scene. Also, conclusive DNA evidence left on the body which excluded all members of the Ramsey family from being involved in the attempted kidnapping and murder.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:  JOHN WESLEY ANDERSON

John Wesley Anderson, MBA, is an author, TEDx speaker, and recipient of the 2022 Golden Quill Award presented by the Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District. He retired after 30-year law enforcement career; including 22 years with the Colorado Springs Police Department and 8 years as the Sheriff for El Paso County, Colorado. After being term-limited as Sheriff John worked homeland and corporate security for 10 years for Lockheed Martin. He retired in 2012 to pursue his passions for history, writing, and the arts.

Although John has traveled around the world, including several adventures on a catamaran sailing the Caribbean, three corporate security assignments into a combat zone on the Horn of Africa, and landing on an aircraft carrier at sea in the Pacific Ocean, he remains most fascinated by the rich history and art discovered in his own backyard in the American Southwest.

The book Lou and JonBenet will be available for purchase (as well as some of his other books).   Checks and cash only.

Or it can be purchased in advance in hardcover, softcover, eBook, or audiobook online at www.Amazon.com. John will be signing his books.
