I've been short on time and haven't yet put up all the remaining details about this story. As a loose update though, Jonathan posted some comments (old and new) on his Facebook page.
"The whole story is like a Hollywood movie. There were bath houses, sex brothels and drug distribution networks, there was alleged human trafficking, there were crooked sheriff deputies and abuse of the system targeting at risk school children while parading around acting like they are getting them off Meth, but secretly feeding it to them to get them to do sex acts, you have your conspiracy blogger, you have cartels and date rape drugs, I dealt with gangs and white supremacists threatening a lot of peoples lives, including mine, believe it or not, the FBI and DPD worked closely on this and members of the Department of Homeland Security came out because of this investigation.
There were "handler" like suspicious characters attempting to set people up all the time, then there was FBI safe streets task force which I worked undercover with at their classified location in the warehouse district up North. Like literally right out of a movie type scene. I didn't sleep for weeks.
The FBI Safe Streets Task Force was the same FBI task unit that was used to investigate the Penn State scandal, there were other people of influence and wealth involved, then there were all the bodies being found floating in rivers and a young boy's body found decomposing in a suitcase buried in a field.
Sean Moss was an ex-gay porn star who Sullivan hired as a security guard at Cherry Creek Schools while Sullivan was head of security. Moss was found dead, floating in the Platte river the morning after he was last seen with Sullivan.

Sullivan's family babysitter was found dead, floating in the Platte River 20 years ago. She was, from what I had discovered from people's statements, a sweet girl. Sullivan had involved himself in the investigation of the death, even though it was outside his jurisdiction. It was a clear conflict of interest investigation. All I know is that the girl's alleged boyfriend said that Sullivan had made sexual advances on her at the time before she was found dead.
To have 2 bodies that are "dumped" and naked in a river, similar circumstances and the exact same river, investigators refer to this as a frame of pattern. It suggests a common person is the killer, and there is a common person between the two deaths. The case of Sullivan's dead babysitter was unsolved and remains so to this day. Just like Sean Moss, who was last seen with Sullivan, found dead, floating in the Platte River, with a date rape drug in him.
All I know is this, the courts tried their hardest. There isn't anything more that I could do. I did my part, and I did more than anyone before me. I was asked to investigate the story because of my skill-set and the fact that I didn't have the same "Red tape" that police officers and FBI had investigating this. As a private investigator and investigative journalist, I had certain advantages. The experience will forever be with me, it changed my life. I don't have any of the same opinions or beliefs that I once had. I am just glad to be moved on to new things now.
Most of the nights I was working the case, I was dealing with 3 and 4 man teams, usually unidentified, all on a first name basis, and we were all issued bullet proof vests.
Believe it or not, this whole investigation started because I was used in a negotiation coordinated by the ATF and Denver PD one night before all this started just to get one of Colorado's most wanted criminals to turn himself into police after he ran from cops on foot and was chased with helicopters. And, yet again, believe it or not, the accused perp said he was framed for armed robbery and manslaughter, as well as all kinds of other very serious charges, and there may have been a case for that. [NOTE - Jon posted the audio link to this onetime on his Facebook page, and it's pretty much as he describes it].
It goes on and on and on. It was literally like a Hollywood movie, and I was at the center of it from the beginning. I was diagnosed with a slight form of PTSD and I suffered anxiety attacks after all this, which was quite a new experience.
The non-disclosure agreements I was asked to sign, the political impact the story could have inflamed, the whole thing, it was a lot. I don't know what to make of it.
It is very weird to digest. I am asked about the video tape all the time. This video tape:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyEPOUKuJEw
I will say this again, as I have said it before: "Sullivan could not be positively identified on the tape." That is my statement.
I think the weirdest thing about the whole Sullivan story is that most people don't really know he was a close personal friend of both Clinton and Bush Sr., not to mention that he was in the Clinton Administration and was pivotal in passing the Brady Bill. He was a famed sheriff who campaigned on his solid career helping kids get off drugs and that won him "Sheriff of the Year" as well as Colorado giving his name placed on a jail. And, on the exact same jail I got him sent to. I literally put a sheriff in his own multi-million dollar county jail named after him. He was not just some ordinary sheriff. He led a meth task force and tried to present himself as a person leading a program getting kids off meth, when in reality everything was a lie.
My life was threatened multiple times while working the story, and I still wake up in the middle of the night in cold sweats remembering the victims he gave HIV to and the young men he molested:

I did everything I could to help these people, I did. Almost no journalists in town wanted to touch this story except Julie Hayden at FOX, Jeremy Jojola at NBC, and Brian Moss at CBS, and I. We all worked closely to get info and interviews. I wouldn't be carrying the torch by myself...
CBS covered the story and my interviews with victims

FOX covered a detailed story about my work and interviewed me

NOTE - I asked Jon yesterday if his lengthy article on the matter would be re-uploaded to the web at some point
"Anthony, to answer your question, nope, sorry. I took everything off the net. EVERYTHING. I am not ever going to be associated with conspiracy theory pop culture again and I will never have an interest in discussing the story. I put everything I think I need to in the statement before your comment here, and it is all that needs to be said for people to understand what I went through and still, from time to time, go through echoes of. I really don't care about the story. Sullivan was not found guilty, so that is the end of the story. That is all that matters. I have better things to do and move on to. I was in the middle of something much bigger than me, and something that I involved so many other factors that were never mentioned. Most people don't know the Department of Homeland Security came out here as apart of the 22 person task force. All I know is it isn't my battle. It never was. But some people don't always have an easy choice and I was put in very testing situations that pushed me to the extremes of my mental abilities. I have no interest in doing work like that again, in all honesty"
...........
As I mentioned, Jon was at the tail end of a 2 year (or greater) investigation into the deep background of the 9/11 attacks when he was pulled into the Sullivan saga above. There is still even more to this story though and I'll try and post the remaining details soon. The story - and I have not yet posted the most-hair-raising details Jon gave me in private - gets very tangled from here, and it does involve 9/11. More soon, hopefully.
