Conversations with Karen

Karen shares some insight on a national story with roots in Colorado – the death of six-year-old Jon Benet Ramsey, found dead in her home 20 years ago. Recent documentaries ‘reveal’ evidence and a team of experts ‘reveals’ who killed her. What do we think?  Tune it for a lively discussion – including the truth about the ‘evidence’ and one important question never asked or answered.

Conversations with Karen

We took a break for June and had a commemorative law enforcement special replay.  After that event, we had the tragedies of the Orlando night club terrorist attack, then the attack and assassinations of Dallas Police officers, and the day of recording our show we had the attack and assassinations of Baton Rouge Police officers.

Fitting with Dean’s special guest, in Conversations with Karen we discuss new attorney and investigator ethics opinions in Colorado that apply to social media.  This is an informative segment in the changing world we live and investigate in.
