   I was told there would be some stuff that they couldn't fit in the program. Don't know just what - - but it should be new quotes at the least.

3. "Early Show on CBS"
In response to message #2
 
   There were a couple more quotes by John and Patsy - John saying that people didn't think he acted like a grieving parent - and as a parent who has lost 2 children, he thinks he could write a book on that. And Patsy said the only thing she thinks is worse than what they went through would be what the parents of Elizabeth Smart must be going through right now - - not knowing.

Patsy went on to say in 1996 no one wanted to accept that anyone might invade a home and take a child - - people don't want to think they are so vulnerable. But now they have seen it happen again and again - - and they have to accept it.

Finally there was a a bit with Hunter saying the brutality of the crime doesn't clear the Ramseys as sometimes good people do bad things. And he says there is not enough evidence right nowto convict anyone.

My thoughts to Hunter - - maybe if they followed good leads, like Michael's call, they would find the evidence they need to convict. It IS there - - just the Boulder authorities haven't taken it serious yet.

   Transcript of Erin Moriarty on CBS The Early Show - - Monday October 7th

Julie Chen, co-host: On Friday, we brought you the dramatic esp--excerpts from the police interviews with John and
Patsy Ramsey, the parents of JonBenet Ramsey, who was found dead in their home in 1996. The Ramseys have been the target
of much speculation, but they have never been charged in their daughter's murder. This morning, they speak for themselves in a
rare interview with "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarity.

John Ramsey: I can't imagine any more pain than I experienced. I can't imagine a worse pain.

Erin Moriarty: Since that terrible Christmas night of 1996 when their six-year-old daughter JonBenet was brutally
murdered, John and Patsy Ramsey have been living in limbo, charged with nothing, but suspected of the worst.

John Ramsey: One of the frustrations for us all along is look, guys, if you think we did this, charge us. Let's go to
court. Let's put everything out on the table and let's deal with it. But 'oh, no, they're under the umbrella of suspicion.'

Erin Moriarty: Those suspicions of both the police and public are fueled in part by the Ramseys' demeanor. To
some, they don't act like grieving parents.

John Ramsey: Tell me how to act. I've lost two children. I could write a book on that, I believe, on how people
probably would act when they lose a child, what the emotions they're going through. It--it's--it's nonsense.

Alex Hunter : We want to solve this case. But you have to do it the right way.

Erin Moriarty: Former Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter says there is not enough evidence to charge the
Ramseys or anyone else in this case.

The concern would be that if you did go to court prematurely, that person might be acquitted, guilty or not, and you
could never bring the case against them again.

Alex Hunter: That's right. It's over. It's over.

Erin Moriarty: What about the viciousness of this crime? Isn't it highly unusual for parents, without any kind of prior
history, to commit an act like this?

Alex Hunter: There is no question that this is a horribly brutal crime.

Erin Moriarty: And highly unusual for parents, with a garrote?

Alex Hunter: Well, I--well, I want to s--I want to spend a minute on that. It's so hard when you see such an
innocent little baby, you see the, you know, autopsy pictures to think that anybody could do that, other than a fiend. But I'm sad to
report that we do see some pretty awful things, as awful as this happening not, you know...

Erin Moriarty: But this would be unusual.

Alex Hunter: Yes, it's unusual, but certainly not something that makes you stumble you're so shocked. Because
good people do bad things. I mean, we--that's not a piece of my wisdom. I just know that and so does everybody that's watching
this show.

Erin Moriarty: Patsy Ramsey, seen here after undergoing chemotherapy that robbed her of her hair and eyebrows,
hopes that investigators will take a new look at their case in light of child kidnappings like that of Elizabeth Smart in Salt Lake City.

Patsy Ramsey: I know exactly what those parents are going through, and it just sickens me. I s--you know, I said if
there can be anything worse than what happened with us and JonBenet, at least we found JonBenet.

Erin Moriarty: Was there any side of you that s--that said--that felt like Americans could see this does happen,
somebody can walk into someone's home and take a child?

Patsy Ramsey: Well, of course, you know, we've been saying that. And--and in '96, people said, 'Oh, that doesn't
happen. That doesn't happen.' People don't want to think that happens because that--you know, if--if--if people think that it's the
mother and father and that it's a domestic situation, then--then that can't happen to me and my family. You know, we're safe
because we're not like them. But if it is a bad guy coming in, taking your child in the night, that can happen to anyone. And as it
continues to happen, I think it becomes more realistic, and people say, 'Oh, my gosh, maybe that did happen.' Believe me, it
happened.

Erin Moriarty: For The Early Show, Erin Moriarty, CBS News, New York.

   being political. IMO, I don't think he thinks the parents did it....and he knew what he was dealing with re: the BPD.

   Yes, Hunter was being careful, but sounding very BORGish in the process, IMO. Apparently, the secret to giving an interview and saying nothing of substance is to never answer a question with a "yes" or "no". Just the opposite of a polygraph.

Be that as it may, I still like Alex Hunter. Regardless of his personal feelings about whodunit, he didn't try to railroad the Ramseys, and he didn't arrest them and wait for a "jailhouse confession".

Just look at his replacement, Keenan! She treats the Ramsey case like it is some old pooper scooper violation.
