A. At some point during the investigation I recall the tape coming to Detective Sergeant Wickman's attention initially because the 911 operator who took that call thought there may have been something at the end of the conversation that was unintelligible.


If the operator heard something unintelligible at the end of the conversation, wouldn't you be able to hear that on the tape? You might not be able to make out what was said without enhancement, but you would be able to hear something there. That "something" is what would promt an investigator to enhance the tape.

If nothing else is heard on the tape (without enhancement) how can an operator, without enhanced hearing, have heard something the tape did not pick up? I would like to see the notes on Wickmans interview with the 911 operator to see if this was actually said. It was probably another police lie to pressure the Ramseys.


Q. Can you hear any effort on the tape to try to hang the phone up, a banging or a tapping or anything of that nature?
A. The call obviously concludes with the line disconnecting but, no, not that I recall today without listening to the tape of the phone banging.

There was no banging or clicking that would obscure background conversation per ST's testimony. I think if there had been he would have recalled that the garbled conversation took place in the background as she attempted to hang up the phone and was obscured by those sounds.

When did this so called background conversation take place? There is no time at the end of the conversation for it to happen, unless it was over Patsys voice, but it has never been described that way. Also it would still be audible when listening to the recording that there was some kind of background conversation while Patsy was talking.
