Oh, just look at the email
I got from him! I called his cell the other night and left a message for him, telling him who I was and that I really wanted him to watch my video and give me an apology. Here's the gigantic response from him:
Hello Brad,
I've been away but I did receive your phone message. I did not view this videoclip, however, I don't need to. You mentioned that I need to apologize to you. You don't know much about me, but I am the sort who will, if he's wrong, regardless of threats(?) or the lack of, admit he's wrong when he is.
First, let's get something straight, and I would like you to be as grown-up as you can and a little open-minded first. I say that you are the one who has placed himself in this position. Now hold up and be honest. You obviously went to great lengths to do this, describing actions that occurred at the Ramsey home, writing similar phrases, same tone and giving a reason why those initials were on the ransom note. Also, it was a great coincidence that the determination of what the initials were on the ransom note was the caption on the photo of you on your losers website Top that off with the great similarity with your habdwriting and the initials and what am I supposed to think? Now, because of your actions, your attempts to draw attention to yourself, I am the one who should apologize?
Secondly, why should I apologize when you don't apologize? Don't you think you should apologize to the Ramseys? You where the one who got in their business. You don't feel responsible for all the crap that you handed out? Accusing Burke and Patsy and screwing with a legitimate forum for discussion on this crime. You bragged about this, over and over and yet, when the same thing happens to you, (and legitimately because you wanted to look like the kidnapper), you are outraged. You are ridiculous. What about the John Mark Karr acrylic painting? Incredible insensitivity! Yet, you want the world to feel your outrage about someone pointing out what came out of your own mouth/pen?
Did you apologize for making fun of JonBenet's death? I remember the T-shirts comment. You didn't apologize for that either.
Did you apologize for harassing people and (with your "friends") trying to scare old ladies with your harrassment? Yeah, your a real hero, and so are your friends..
I know this might be a sensitive issue but did you apologize to your kids when you kept making fun of JonBenet's death and sexual assault? Think this through for a second: If you think sexual assault on a child is a laugh riot, why wouldn't people think you might be a pedophile? Do you see, when I talked about your kids, it wasn't to hurt you but to protect them from someone who might be a danger to them. Get it? I don't know why your wife divorced you, but you don't give anyone a chance to think otherwise, I mean, are you a danger to them? That is only a natural question someone would have thought, Brad. Would you stand by and let someone who thinks a young child sexually assaulted and murdered in her basement is funny is the right kind of person to be around children? I hope this is starting to make sense to you. If a stranger tried to hurt your children, Brad, I would be the first to protect them, but you don't appreciate that, do you? I also believe that you've placed your Ego before them.
Also, you are a liar/sorely mistaken. I never said you killed her, only that you have presented yourself as the ransom note writer by your own words! I said that I believed that you would not have murdered this poor child, that you had your own kids and that you were motivated by money. Again, You must be accountable for your writings/actions, Brad.
You have left a trail of "destruction" for lack of a better word, in your wake. What have I done? Only to try to help people. That's the difference betwen you and I.
Now, I'm going to tell you something about me. I was wrong. I will apologize for one thing. Regardless if I was right or wrong about the information, I was wrong in putting it out. That, I will apologize for. I've come to realize that I had not the authority to do so. I was advised by some in the field that I should, believe it or not, people in positions that would know better, but I took their advice, but at this juncture, I was not fair to you. A man deserves his right to a fair trial in the legal system and not to be tried in the court of public opinion. However, the same goes for you, too, when you tried your best to accuse the Ramseys. Even this ridiculous Boulder D.A. now recognizes the innocence of the Ramseys and apologized ( a weak one but at least they did).
Here is some advice though, and please, please take this in the spirit it is given. If you don't want to be accused of being a murdered/kidnapper don't point to yourself over and over and over again on the internet for millions to see and say that you are being accused unfairly when people solely repeat what you were saying. all along, and we're talking about over years! Jeez, Brad, you were the one putting it out there.
This may not exactly be the apology you are looking for, however, I am being as honest as I can with you. Ask your friends about what I am saying and see if it's you who were your own worst accuser. Remember, I only showed what you posted for all to see. The funny thing is that I paid attention to what you wrote while no one else gave a damn. I cared about what you had to say, too bad it was that you were involved in this crime.
Even now, it's like you are trying to draw attention to yourself again by getting me to reiterate these points. Brad, You were the one posturing, I was just the mirror.
I will remove the clips as I said. I did remove the info on them that could be read, but I will remove them entirely.
I am concentrating on another case and won't be around this neck of the woods. I am very close to finding this missing person (a child abduction over twenty years ago) and will not be able to spend time here. Please reflect on what I said and what has brought everything to this point.
However, console yourself with what you wanted and got. An apology and the removal of these clips.

I wrote back this:

This was not an apology, only more accusations. This is not acceptable. You need to watch the video I made and I want a VIDEO apology on your account admitting that you made up evidence to make me appear guilty which you will remember doing once you watch my video.
Hurry up with that,
Brad
