Which brings me to the spaghetti... can y'all believe that the Investigation Discovery channel still wants to cover this story? Yeah. Nobody else can either. It's been nearly 11 years... ELEVEN years. The producers of the latest episode have managed to find contact information for myself. I've politely asked the researchers to ask the producers to please focus on the handful of cold cases in the Fremont and Chaffee County, Colorado areas. When I declined participation they managed to find the contact information for Jim's closest buddies. Akin to throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks. I've spoken with the buddies (yes, we still contact each other from time to time because honestly who else truly understands the hell that we all went through together but those who were closest to the situation) and we all agree that Jim shunned the spotlight when he was alive and he would not want yet a THIRD episode reenacting his death. So please, to my repeat visitor from England, let me repeat my pleas - leave his story be. Focus your time and energy and media attention on a case that remains unsolved. Here's a link to a quick reference of multiple cold cases in the area.
