Portion of unsolicited letter to Patsy from Vassar professor she didn’t know saying he knows she didn’t write the ransom note. He was later hired by BPD and said she did write the ransom note.

At this time, however, Dr. Foster failed to disclose to the Boulder District Attorney that he had not only previously and “unequivocally” concluded that Patsy was innocent, but had written to her that he was so certain she had not written the ransom note that he “would stake his personal reputation” on that conclusion.

In Dr. Foster’s elaboration of his opinion for Boulder law enforcement officials, he went so far as to say that it was not possible that any individual other than Patsy Ramsey had written the ransom note. He announced his conclusion to a group of investigators from both the Boulder District Attorney’s Office and the Boulder Police Department. Law enforcement officers in attendance said some detectives stood up and cheered and clapped when Foster ended his presentation.

After Foster had given his presentation, a prosecutor in the Boulder District Attorney’s Office told John’s attorney, Bryan Morgan, about the BPD’s “new and expert” language analyst, and the expert’s conclusion that Patsy had written the note. He concluded by stating that, due to this new development, the BPD’s case against Patsy was gaining momentum.

At that point, it would have been easy for the Ramsey defense attorneys not to tell the Boulder District Attorney’s Office about Foster’s letter to Patsy in which he stated that he knew she was innocent. The Ramsey attorneys knew that if they withheld that information, it would eventually be publicly disclosed that Foster had duped Boulder law enforcement officials, and that disclosure would cause substantial embarrassment for the police and for the prosecution. Yet the Ramsey attorneys told the attorneys at the District Attorney’s Office about Foster’s 180-degree decision because Morgan stated, “We still wanted them to consider someone other than the Ramseys as their suspects and we thought this show of good faith would help.” Foster was subsequently dropped from the BPD list of expert witnesses and hustled out of Boulder.

When I wrote to Dr. Foster in 2010 asking for an explanation of his opinions, he replied only after I had sent five e-mails to him. He said he couldn’t comment on his complete reversal because of a confidentiality agreement he had signed with the Boulder Police Department. However, that confidentiality agreement hadn’t covered the letter he’d written to Patsy Ramsey stating that he was certain she had not written the ransom note. Still, Dr. Foster refused to comment and thanked me for “understanding.”
