  • "JonBenet`s America (1998)
  1. This Michael Tracey/David Mills documentary was first broadcast in England on July 9,1998 (Channel 4), and later broadcast in the U.S. on August 5, 1998 (A&E).
  2. This is the first of a trilogy, focusing on the role of the media; a full script in Word (June 22, 1998) can be accessed here (see bottom of page) or at [Starting Over-JonBenet. The title is listed as Who Killed JonBenet? although according to Michael Tracey, the original working title was JonBenet`s America "Boulder CU Prof Interviews John and Patsy Ramsey," April 7, 1998, Boulder Daily Camera (now available only in Archives: Article ID: 9804070024).
  3. The official Website, however, lists the British version at 52 minutes and the U.S. version as a '90 minute special.' However, The Daily Camera reported that "the 65-minute version of the film is about 10 minutes longer than the one British audiences saw July 9, although it`s shorter than the hour-and-a-half broadcast CU professor Michael Tracey had hoped to air in America." In Boulder, the documentary was followed by an hour-long panel discussion, moderated by Ed Sardella and featuring Tracey, Denver Post columnist Chuck Green and KHOW radio`s Peter Boyles. "Boulder Ramsey Documentary to be Aired Locally," July 30, 1998, Boulder Daily Camera (now available only in Archives: Article ID: 9807300031).
  4. "The University of Colorado journalism professor who produced a documentary about JonBenet Ramsey`s death found himself at odds with the media he sought to portray as irresponsible and removed his name from the film`s credits. "There were a number of reasons," Michael Tracey said Thursday. "The clincher was the title." United Kingdom Channel 4, which aired the 50-minute piece on Thursday, titled it "Who Killed JonBenet?" "Boulder/CU Prof Removes Name from Ramsey Film," July 10, 1998, Boulder Daily Camera (now available only in Archives: Article ID: 9807100029).
  5. On November 17, 1999, Fleet and Priscilla White wrote a lengthy letter to the University of Colorado Board of Regents complaining that "that Mr. Tracey has (1) selfishly and irresponsibly used his position as a professional educator on the faculty of the University of Colorado to secure a commercially beneficial arrangement with the prime suspects in an ongoing murder investigation, (2) attempted to generate favorable public opinion for the Ramseys using biased, misleading and sensational television programs clumsily and unconvincingly disguised as academic work product, and (3) engaged in dishonest deceptive conduct in performing advocatory services for the Ramseys."
