The links above will take you pages in the site that have various newspaper articles written about the case.  The Hartford Courant Page will give you a good chronological run down of the case, many were A.P. articles.  Please keep in mind that newspaper articles are not gospel, reporters are as confused about facts as much (or more) than we are.  We have learned to take everything we read with a grain of salt and recommend everyone do the same.  Some articles were written by an independant journalist, Mr. Donald Connery, a noted champion of "wrong person" cases.  He conducted extensive interviews with many key figures in the case and came to the conclusion that Ryan had been the victim of questionable investigative tactics by the Connecticut State Police.  Please read the letters written by Mr. Connery and the Thompson family to various state officials including Governor Rolland and the famous Dr. Henry Lee, in the "letters" section of this site.
