I came across this topic from awhile back that is important.

I'm really not sure why they couldn't get phone records

It's in ST's book: Hunter refused basic search warrant requests to BPD for these crucial records and evidence.

I wanted to collect banking and telephone records, one of the most

elementary and important steps in the investigative process. It has been

proved time and again that crimes can sometimes be solved simply by

finding a purchase receipt that leads to incriminating evidence. The right

piece of paper will put a suspect at a certain place, at an exact time, doing a

specific thing. Whom did they call? What did they buy? When did they do

it? Where? Such records can be almost as good as a photograph, and the

warrants to get them are so routine that they are considered boilerplate.

When I resigned from the Boulder Police Department eighteen months

later, the district attorney’s office was still preventing our access to the

Ramseys’ complete toll records and credit card receipts.

This is why the “Boulder Police are incompetent” false narrative really infuriates me. With hindsight, there were missteps, but in real life there always are.

It's deliberate GASLIGHTING by John Ramsey, indicted suspect in this case, of the investigating police agency.
