8 Q. Do you still consider Priscilla
9 White to be a suspect?
10 A. I never considered either of the
11 Whites to be a suspect. Their behavior
12 post-December '96 was very, very strange.
13 And that -- we were frightened of it, pure
14 and simple.
15 MR. WOOD: Did they ever --
16 THE WITNESS: But I -- you know,
17 we were at their home that evening, they
18 were in good spirits, they had relatives
19 there, I had no reason to consider them
20 suspects.
21 MR. WOOD: All of their letters,
22 you made mention of this, and it now has
23 struck that cord with me on handwriting, it
24 seems that all of Fleet's and Priscilla's
25 joint letters have been typed. Do you all

82
1 have handwriting on Fleet White?
2 MR. KANE: I am sure we do. I
3 know we do.
4 (By Mr. Kane) Maybe the word
5 suspect then needs to be defined. Do you
6 today think there is a possibility that
7 Priscilla White killed your daughter?
8 A. We have not eliminated anyone in
9 our minds. We have become suspicious of
10 everyone. And that's how I feel.
11 Q. Is there anything, other than what
12 you described on several occasions about what
13 happened down in Atlanta around the time of
14 the funeral, is there anything other than
15 that that would suggest --
16 A. Yeah. God, he is in the paper
17 every few months with some 20 page letter.
18 I just think that -- I don't understand it.
19 I can't explain it. I don't know if he --
20 I mean, it was a traumatic event. They were
21 there. I don't know. But our feeling was
22 that their behavior was frightening.
23 MR. WOOD: You all are aware that
24 there is a problem exists between the libel
25 charges and all of the background behind

83
1 that?
2 MR. KANE: Yes.
3 MR. WOOD: So all of that, for
4 whatever reason, is bizarre.
5 THE WITNESS: But it makes no
6 sense.
7 MR. WOOD: Or for whatever
8 reason. I am not suggesting bizarre to any
9 individual, but the whole thing is bizarre.
10 Q. (By Mr. Levin) Mr. Ramsey, I
11 don't know for a fact it has been answered,
12 so if the question sounds kind of naive,
13 bear with me. Neither Priscilla nor Fleet,
14 since '98, have made any attempts to contact
15 you, reconcile, restore your friendship, have
16 they?
17 A. Well, they -- we were staying at
18 the Stein's, and they apparently, I learned
19 later, approached Susan, asked to meet with
20 us. And she refused. I wasn't aware of
21 that at the time. There would have been no
22 reason to do that. But maybe that added
23 fuel to the fire. I don't know. From
24 their perspective.
25 But I had written Fleet. I had

84
1 a sail off of a sailboard that belonged to
2 him that got packed inadvertently. And I
3 sent it back to him with a note, don't
4 believe what you've read in the media.
5 He burst in on me one day when I
6 was meeting with our minister, and I talked
7 to him then. But other than that --
8 Q. But nothing in '99 or since June
9 of '98 --
10 A. No.
11 Q. -- no attempts or no letters from
12 them to renew --
13 A. No.
14 Q. -- your friendship?
15 A. No.

Oh - I have told you all so many times that the Ramseys did NOT accuse the Whites. I am glad this is public so you can see for yourself what happened.

The Ramseys have sometimes trusted people to take charge when they were unavailable (emotionally or physically) and I think sometimes mistakes were made that the Ramseys should have cleared up but didn't.

Egos and hurt egos did play a large part in this saga. More than anyone will ever know.
