Randy Brown Request

Randy Brown’s Request to the Columbine Open Records Review Committee on Items to be Released
In the event anyone has never seen this document. The whole report is just under 30 pages long but is set out in a way that is easy to read and understand.

The report was made in Dec 2002, how would the public be aware of any new "released" information?

Randy Brown has been hot on obtaining the remaining documents and on the hottest Basement Tapes. He will keep fighting for their release, because I believe the Brown's, including Brooks, perhaps knew the most about the two boys more than anyone (not implying a conspiracy theory).

I agree with your point here. I think the Browns have received a lot of negativity over the years and some of it was uncalled for. Although i don't always agree with some of the things they have said in the past etc, I feel like they, particularly Randy has dedicated a great deal of time and effort in fighting for the release of a lot of Columbine information. This includes the Basement Tapes as you mentioned and the Depositions of the Harris and Klebold families.

Wasn't the sheriff given the option to release The Basement Tapes in 2006? (I might be off on the year). But anyways, wasn't he given the option to release them and he released some other useless stuff instead? Like yet ANOTHER report or something? And everyone was saying "Release The Basement Tapes"?

The sheriff did have an option to release the tapes. He certainly thought about it, but didn't feel it was necessary to release the tapes. I believe it was journals and among some other things that were released in 2006. I don't suspect anything to change next year when a new sheriff takes over.

Would there even be an option to release them when a new sheriff takes over? Because I thought I read something about them being locked in a vault for 50 years or something in 2006? Like the option to release them wouldn't come about again until 50 years after they decided not to release them the last time? So, 2056?

I think the case reopens in 14 years from now, and I read somewhere that the time they keep the evidence locked up will expire by 2027, so maybe we have a chance of the basement tapes?

I think the 2027 evidence has something to do with depositions or something with Dylan and Eric's parents. I don't think that includes The Basement Tapes. I am pretty certain that they were locked up for 50 years in 2006. I could be wrong, I don't know for certain. But I remember reading that.
