Similar to the dictionary opened to the word "incest".<BR>Either Sgt. Wickman lied, was mistaken. or the story about him completely made up, or the book was there for the reason stated above. If it wasn't taken into evidence I'd say it probably wasn't there although we can't assume that. And if it was, we can't assume the Ramseys owned it, read it or even knew about it. <P>
