A few pages were devoted on timely reports - - and then this...<P>Page 227 -<BR>Arndt - "As a detective, I would keep investigative notes which detailed an account of what I did. And then I had my <BR>handwritten notes, and at the conclusion of the investigation, I would complete a written report."<BR>Q. Did you provide all of those investigative notes and handwritten notes to the investigative file maintained by the BPD?<BR>A. No.<BR>Q. Why not?<BR>A. They weren't asked.<P>Page 228 - 229<BR>Q. Were there investigative notes you kept in the Ramsey matter that you didn't turn over to be kept as part of the investigative <BR>file on the Ramsey investigation?<BR>A. Some.<BR>Q. How did you decide what investigative reports - or investigative notes you would turn over and what investigative notes you <BR>would not turn over in the Ramsey investigation?<BR>A. I turned over the notes that were asked.<BR>Q. So you had to be asked for the notes as opposed to your feeling it just part of your responsibility as a detective inthe <BR>Ramsey investigation to turn over those notes?<BR>A. I knew that Masn had turned his notes over, and they went into evidence, and they now are unaccounted for. And I did not <BR>want the same thing to happen should I turn over notes without any kind of chain of command for evidence.<P>Page 232-235 - After quite a bit of wrangling, Arndt admitted she had notes - investigativenotes - that she never turned in. <BR>They are being kept "in a safe place" and Arndt refused to reveal where tht place was - - said she was concerned about the <BR>security - - didn't want them to disappear as Larry Mason's had. She said she had never made copies of those note3 and <BR>turned them in - - but would be willing to make a copy for the BPD at that time. How many notes? 2 to 3 steno books of <BR>notes. <P>Page 239 - 242 - after somemore discussion about how Arndt was unhappy with Eller and Wickman, she got back to the fear <BR>for her personal safety. She was upset that her initial reports - - those stating what she saw and felt on December 26th - - were <BR>givento the Ramseys and it made her fearful. She said not for direct harm from JR, but..... she just felt that her position as a <BR>witness placed her and her loved ones in danger.<P>Page 243 - Sergeant Wickman told Arndt that she and Wickman would be removed from the Ramsey team. Arndt was upset.<P>Page 247 - 249 - Wickamn said Arndt was removed because she didn't conform to the team routine, didn't always attend <BR>meetings and share information, was not caught up on written reports, was months behind and "...Linda was viewed as more of <BR>a problem than an asset at the time."<P>Page 252 - Who did Arndt NOT trust? Eller and Wickman. Who DID she trust? Larry Mason, Bob Whitson and Paul <BR>Reichenbach.<P>Page 254-255 - - Linda's behavior at some meetings was described - - she would hyperventilate, her eyes wuld grow wide - <BR>clearly they felt she was overwhelmed. Arndt said her eyes are "expressive' and she was shaking because she had coffee on an <BR>empty stomach.<P>Page 256-259 - Arndt and Koby had breakfast at Dot's Diner - about an hour - - discussed an award Arndt was getting - and <BR>she told Koby about her feelings on the Ramsey case. She said he felt Patsy was the guilty party. But she was sure that it was <BR>John and incest was an issue.<P>Page 263-265 - Arndt was asked to meet with Wickman - - she asked Jane Harmer and Steve Tomas to accompany her. <BR>Thomas and Harmer were there for a while then left - - Arndt said Wickman said he had no problem with her work - they were <BR>OK.<P>Page 267 - Arndt met with Eller who also said he had no problem with her work<P>Then there was a long thing on Koby - - lawyer wranglings and a break - did Arndt expect Koby to address 8 points publicly <BR>or give a general statement on the case and Arndt's performance? On page 277, Arndt said that she felt "...more than just a <BR>general statement is needed."<P>Page 278 - Arndt said she was trying to get a job at CU - Sexual Harassment Investigator (she did get that position later)<P>Page 283 - - Arndt names other officers who were late with reports - Wickman, Eller, Trujillo<P>Arndt indicated that she was not checked for a bug when she went to see Patsy.<P>She said she did not listen to the Peter Boyles program when he was attacking her.<P>Page 285<P>Q. ...Exhibit 4... an authorization to release medical information. Would you be willing to xecute that at this time?<BR>A. by Mr. Jones - We've already indicated that we wouldn't sign.<BR>Q. You'll follow your attorney's direction inthat regard?<BR>A. yes.<BR>Q. That's all. Thanks.<P>
