"The next day, January 17, Thomas and Gosage continued an interview at Access Graphics with comptroller Susan Richart, who told them about Sandra Henderson, a former employee, who was in trouble with the law, and her husband, Bud, each of whom owned the firm $18,000. Add $100,000 to either of them and you had the ransom amount, which gave the detectives cause for suspicion. They put Bud and Sandra high on the list of those to be interviewed."

"Meanwhile, Detective Thomas and Gosage were still working on the list of Access Graphics em-employees, and on January 21 and 22 they interviewed Bud and Sandra Henderson, who each owned Access Graphics $18,000.

Bud Henderson had come to Colorado in 1971 and married his fourth wife, Sandra Chiselbrook, in 1984. That year the couple started Henderson Technology, which sold telecommunications equipment. One of their supplies was CAD Distributors of Boulder. Henderson purchases equipment from CAD Distributors, while Sandra went to work for Jim Hudson, who owned the company. Before long she became operations manager, supervising the employees who took the orders and shipped the merchandise. Then CAD merged with John Ramsey's Atlanta company and CAD Sources of Piscataway, New Jersey. This is the combination that became know as Access Graphics with John Ramsey as president.

Henderson Technology ordered equipment from Access Graphics, which Henderson then sold. Sandra paid the bills and kept the books. In 1991, without prior notice, Access abruptly placed a credit hold on Henderson Technology's account and told Bud Henderson he owned the company $145,000 for invoices that his wife hadn't paid. He was shown a promissary note with his and his wife's signatures. Henderson had never seen it and said his signature had been forged."

"Henderson later said that his wife had agreed to pay off the debt over the next twelve months, made only one payment, and then defaulted. Within a week Access Graphics fired Sandra Henderson when it was discovered that she had altered Henderson Technology's account at Access. Henderson said that his wife tried to delete the balance that was owed.

The company that bonded Access Graphics employees paid the firm $100,000, leaving a balance of about $40,000 to be paid. The Henderson made one payment of $4,000 before they divorced in 1995. In family court, their outstanding obligation of $36,000 was divided into two notes for $18,000 each. By then, Henderson believe that John Ramsey was furious at him and his ex-wife"

"Letter from Bud Henderson:

“Everything they asked me to write was from the ransom note. I wondered if the police had my telephone tapped. You have to wonder, what do you say over the phone? You start to think people are following you. Every time I walk into a restaurant, go into a bar, the first thin I do is ask myself, Who in the hell do you see in here that looks like a detective? I’ve been stooped twice for absolutely no reason. They say I was weaving. They check my ID. These are Boulder cops.

I hear a knock on my door, I open it, and a video camera is running. The interviewer sticks a microphone in my face. “Have the police talked to you?”

Hard Copy went an taped Sandra going to prison. The media knew we owed Access Graphics money. How they found out, I don’t know. One writer told me Sandra orchestrated JonBenet’s murder from prison to get back at John. I have one friend that calls me “Killer.”

Finally I did a long interview for Hard Copy and American Journal. It wasn’t a hell of a lot of money.

I still get calls. A call a week. From Hollywood, from New York, even from the Daily Camera.”

Bud Henderson."
