Understand - the Ramseys believed they were going to these meetings to brainstorm on some things - to help each other figure out what needed to happen next. Pay attention to how John starts going through some names of things he brought to discuss, perhaps - and see the "authorities" shut down any hope of "sharing".

12 This is just from a psychologist,
13 who had, I think, a good perspective on the
14 killer.
15 This is the Dorothy Allison stuff
16 which I believe you guys are familiar with.
17 Chris Wolf is still very much of
18 interest to me. I don't know that he is
19 involved. I don't know he's not. But --
20 Q. (By Mr. Levin) Hang on. I
21 suppose what I'm -- I don't mean to cut you
22 off, Mr. Ramsey, obviously. But what I am
23 interested in, I mean, we had a list of
24 names that you provided early on, and I was
25 interested if there are recent people. I

1 mean, obviously we've looked at Chris Wolf
2 and we looked at Fleet and we've looked at
3 Priscilla and we've looked at Merrick, and
4 those people, and I'm looking for --
5 MR. WOOD: Have they been
6 cleared, Bruce? Have they been cleared?
7 MR. LEVIN: I can't comment on the
8 status of the investigation.
9 MR. WOOD: Has he been cleared
10 from your list. Are we wasting our time?
11 Tell us so we won't waste Ollie's resources.
12 They can go elsewhere.
13 Well, let me go get the 50-page
14 document which the Ramseys gave to you all
15 and you ask him what is significant.
16 MR. LEVIN: Let me get post-98.
17 MR. WOOD: But you interrupted
18 him. Post '98, you gave us 51 pages almost
19 50 pages. Let's go through that because you
20 certainly thought that was significant.
21 Let's get that. Let me get that.
22 MR. LEVIN: Maybe my question
23 wasn't clear and maybe this will save you
24 the trouble.
25 MR. WOOD: Okay.

1 MR. LEVIN: What I'm interested
2 in is --
3 MR. WOOD: You will not tell us
4 if the other people are cleared?
5 MR. LEVIN: No.
6 MR. WOOD: Thank you for the
7 cooperation.

The "post '98" comment was referring to the fact that the 2000 interviews were to cover evidence and leads that came to be since the Ramseys were interviewed in 1998 - - they were not there to cover old ground.

I have not seen the 50 page document but believe it was notes sent from the Ramseys to LE noting what they had uncovered in their investigation and indicating what they felt was interesting enough to follow up on. LE was never willing to go over that during the 2000 interviews. Lin sure did try. The sharing didn't happen.
