"John's 2000 interview - Atlanta"
 
   I have an official transcript of the 2000 interviews and will share the more interesting bits here - feel free jin in with comments. i will post 5-10 bits then move to a new thread. Lots here to talk about.

3
16 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Okay, Mr. Ramsey,
17 we've spoken before for quite a period of
18 time. When I first spoke with you earlier,
19 I explained to you that, if ever there were
20 going to be an intruder on trial, the
21 defense is going to be that you did it. Do
22 you remember that?
23 A. I remember that, but I am not
24 here to prove my innocence. I am here to
25 find the killer of my daughter.


My comments will be in bold print. This is the opening statement in the interview - and it really did set up the mood for the meetings. Lin had agreed to have the Ramseys come in to discuss things not covered by other interviews - they expected that they would be helping the police get the investigation on the right track - - but as you will see, that is not what happened. The cops did not take advantage of the time to look at everything - they were really interested in "nailing the Ramseys".

You might remember that after these interviews were completed, a very short section was released - the news carried a bit where Kane and Lin went at it... well, it is time to know more.

22 Q. (By Mr. Kane) How active have
23 you been involved in the investigation in the
24 last two years since we last met? How
25 actively have you taken part in it?

5
1 A. Well, that's a relative term. I
2 don't know how to answer that question. I
3 am aware somewhat of what is going on.
4 Bryan Morgan shepherded the effort for a good
5 while after the grand jury and specifically
6 told me he didn't want to tell me a lot
7 because we were talking to the media and I
8 had a tendency to perhaps say things I
9 shouldn't.
10 Q. What kinds of things were you
11 concerned of saying?
12 A. He was concerned about keeping the
13 efforts of the investigation as confidential
14 as possible.


The Ramseys were protected by their friends in the beginning - it seems later their lawyers did the same thing. There were several times I was surprised that they were unaware of a suspect or lead or... but in the end it doesn't matter - the Ramseys are not investigators and will probably not be the ones to solve this case - - as long as the investigators get the information, we have a chance to see justice.

People email me wanting to get information to the Ramseys - I always advise them to get it to the DA and Lou Smit and Tom Bennett. Not vague tips like - - "I saw a man who looked guilty and I think he stole something from Walmart but I can't prove he was ever in Colorado and don't know if he has any criminal record or any interest in children..." I encourage they get a realistic statement together and go to the authorities with it.

2 THE WITNESS: That I, first of
3 all, I believe that whatever has been
4 disclosed to me I am highly confident has
5 been given to the Boulder Police Department
6 as information.
7 We have, I know, pursued a good
8 number of leads. I don't know that any of
9 them are the killer. I don't know that one
10 of them is not the killer. They are
11 interesting leads, the ones I am aware of.
12 They need to be pursued. We are pursuing
13 them to the best of our ability as a private
14 citizen.
15 One of the reasons we are here
16 today is because we realize that there are
17 powers that the state has that we cannot, as
18 private citizens, exercise, and that's going
19 to be necessary to ultimately find the
20 killer.
21 Q. (By Mr. Levin) If I can
22 interrupt. Mr. Ramsey, what I would like
23 you to do, I mean, as an individual, I am
24 sure, who has thought about this all day,
25 every day, is just lay out for us what you

9
1 see as the significant lead so that we can
2 make sure that we have followed these things
3 up.
4 A. Well, the -- and this is the file
5 I've kept of leads that come in on the
6 internet. And we have a tip line, we get
7 lots of letters, most of which are not of
8 any interest or value, but these are ones
9 that I kept. I sent these on to Ollie, and
10 I think probably he has sent them on to you.
11 These aren't necessarily inclusive.

John had a file of possible leads to share with Kane and company. I certainly have no problem with that - but I didn't sense any great interest in the leads the Ramsey investigators had come up with ... and it bothered me that Kane and company were not sharing at that time - perhaps Ollie, who was right there in the room, could have helped fill in some of their weak files.

   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".


9
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

10
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.

11
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.

   11
8 MR. LEVIN: I am interested in
9 what, I'm interested in what Mr. Ramsey felt
10 was significant, if there were people post
11 '98 that jumped out.
12 MR. WOOD: That 50 page document
13 was felt to be significant.
14 MR. LEVIN: To a man that it's
15 at the heart of who murdered his child.
16 THE WITNESS: Well, I can tell
17 you that I think you know there was this
18 whole issue of some strange activity in the
19 Cherry Knolls, and I've often thought, you
20 know, we lived there, it was a small town,
21 we were higher profile, you know, perhaps we
22 went to the wrong place.
23 I spent a little time this summer
24 talking to some of the people that I know
25 our investigators talked to. Some of the

12
1 information that I heard secondhand wasn't as
2 strong as I thought it was in terms of being
3 interesting.
4 We had the incident of someone
5 sleeping in JonBenet's bed while we were
6 gone. We had the incident of somebody
7 running down the hill saying they were going
8 to get even with me and harm my daughter.
9 I don't know if there is anything there or
10 not, but I think it's foolish not to look at
11 that.
12 MR. KANE: Can I ask --
13 MR. WOOD: Wait, let him finish
14 answering the question.
15 MR. KANE: He did.
16 THE WITNESS: I am not finished.
17 MR. WOOD: I have a 50 page
18 document we're going to go through,
19 gentlemen. You are not going to cut him off
20 and say he doesn't have information that he
21 thought was significant.
22 MR. KANE: I just want to ask
23 one follow-up --
24 MR. WOOD: Follow up after his
25 answer. We are going to talk about the

13
1 September of '97 incident. We're going to
2 talk about all of this. You want him to
3 give you this information. And I hope you
4 do want it

This is the Charlevoix incident - B has written about it on this forum. Kane and company was not very interested in discussing it.

Please note how LE cuts off the witness - it happened in 1997 and 1998 - Lin was determined not to let it happen in 2000. It will happen repeatedly.

9 Here's a lead on a guy named
10 Pete F**** who was part of a motorcycle gang
11 in Casper, Wyoming called the Saints Bike and
12 Trail Club, SBTC, possible connections to
13 Linda Hawk, worked at the Tomahawk Lounge in
14 Casper, in the '70s. It was where the
15 Saints hung out. I don't know. You know,
16 I have, I have stretched my imagination to
17 the limit trying to figure out what SBTC is.
18 This lady continues to claim that
19 Larry P***** is the killer. She goes on and
20 on. I don't think that is terribly
21 significant, but what I look for in these
22 things is, is there something that they know
23 that really ties it together or is there
24 something they know that really isn't public,
25 which is kind of difficult because so much

14
1 has been public.


These names have never been made public and I do not intend to put them out there now.

The point is that there were suspects that the Ramseys knew of - they would have liked to have been able to call the cops with tips before this interview but that wasn't happening. So here they were prepare for a brainstorming session and the cops weren't asking for details or saying this or that might connect with any information they had.

Imagine being the Ramseys - a daughter murdered, innocent but suspected, trying to get the policeto work WITH you - - how would you feel if you had information like this and they didnt seem to care?

2 This is a -- these Patricia
3 letters are incredibly bizarre. When I read
4 those things, this wasn't just an internet
5 quack, in my opinion. This was somebody who
6 was watching us, who knew a lot about us,
7 who would talk about the killer being
8 actually a pretty nice guy.
9 You know, we tried desperately to
10 track this back. He's a very clever fellow.
11 He used several servers in his Internet
12 transmissions. We couldn't, couldn't track
13 it back. But I still am very interested in
14 that.
15 I have an original letter that I
16 am convinced the same guy sent me that was
17 written in a different -- supposedly it is a
18 different author, but it's the same. So I
19 mean, it could be the killer. I don't know.
20 But it's a lead.

As far as I know, the letters could not be tracked and that mystery will never be solved. Some have ideas of who Patricia was - - but no one is sure.

(Except Misty and her idiot friend who identified meas the author - - they are sure - and they are wrong. But this is America and they have the right to be wrong and to go public with their delusions. Whatever - the fact is no one knows who wrote those letters.)

Personally, I don't think Patricia was the killer. I believe it was some bored individual with a warped sense of humor.

21 Here is a, this is a family
22 that -- oh, this is just some Dorothy
23 Allison information. This is about a killer
24 of a six-year-old child.
25 One of my theories is, frankly,

15
1 that the murder of a child is such a
2 horrible thing and so subhuman that there are
3 not many people around that do it. Here is
4 a fellow that murdered a six-year-old child,
5 or the name of a fellow. My contention is
6 that --
7 MR. KANE: Dorothy Allison, can I
8 ask, is that a psychic?
9 THE WITNESS: No, no, this was
10 from --
11 MR. WOOD: He is talking about
12 someone else now.
13 MR. KANE: No, but before you
14 said --
15 MR. WOOD: You are going to let
16 him finish what he's saying.
17 MR. KANE: Oh, come on. Lin,
18 I'm just asking who is Dorothy Allison for
19 the record.
20 MR. WOOD: Let him finish. Make
21 a note and --
22 THE WITNESS: Dorothy Allison was
23 on a television program. I believe she is a
24 psychic. I did not see it. I've never
25 have seen her. These are letters from

16
1 people who have sent information based on
2 what they heard on the television program.
3 MR. KANE: I just wanted to --
4 MR. WOOD: It is going to be a
5 better procedure to let my client finish.
6 You are going to let my client answer his
7 question or you're going to leave. You're
8 not here to interrupt. Show some courtesy
9 and I will show it to you.
10 THE WITNESS: Dennis K****. This
11 is actually very interesting.
12 MR. KANE: If you want to play
13 that game, I will win.
14 MR. WOOD: Well, did you
15 answer -- hold on, John.
16 What did you say, sir?
17 MR. KANE: I said, if you want
18 to play that game, let's take a break.
19 MR. WOOD: Let's take a break.
20 I don't know what that means. We'll
21 consider what that means. I'm going to play
22 that game, you're going to win? I don't
23 know.
24 MR. KANE: You are playing games.
25 MR. WOOD: I am not playing a

17
1 game, Mr. Kane.
2 MR. KANE: He mentioned Dorothy
3 Allison, and I said who is Dorothy Allison.
4 MR. WOOD: Mr. Kane, I am not
5 going to waste my breath talking to you like
6 I did yesterday. I am going to take a
7 break now, but when you make comments about
8 me playing a game and you are going to win
9 when I asked you not to interrupt my client,
10 number one, sir, that was rude. I asked you
11 not to do it. I told you if you were
12 going to be discourteous to my client, you
13 would have to leave.
14 MR. KANE: I was not
15 discourteous.
16 MR. WOOD: If it is a game to
17 you, as you practice law, it is not a game
18 for me.
19 MR. KANE: Are we going to take
20 a break here?
21 MR. WOOD: We will get through
22 this, Chief, no matter what he tries to do,
23 we will get through it. I promise you.
24 MR. KANE: This is a stall.
25 MR. WOOD: And I will get that

18
1 50 page document too.
2 (WHEREUPON, a brief recess was
3 taken.)

Remember, this interview took place after Patsy's interview - - Lin was pretty fed upwith his clients being interrupted. He wanted to make sure the record had their complete answers.

(I know, I should have tackled Patsy's interview first. This is going to be a rather long process, a few threads a day if I can... be patient - it will come.)

   Wow. Kane wasn't the least bit interested in what John had to say. He did interrupt John while he was trying to share his leads, couldn't be bothered to tell them if suspects the Ramseys were investigating were cleared or not, and started an argument with Lin right in the middle of the discussion. Kane accused Lin of playing a stall game, so it's obvious the interview was meant to be interogatory not informative as the Ramseys had hoped. Sad.

   I noticed John refers to the author of the "Patricia Letters" as a "he". It sounds like they spent some time trying to track "him" down. Does anyone have more information on this?

I sure would like to know what that letter said. I don't know much about the Patricia letters, but it would fit the profile of a personal cause crime for the killer to make contact with John Ramsey after the murder. I don't understand why a prankster would spend so much time on something like this or why they would work so hard to cover their tracks so completely. I have no idea how to do that, so I assume one would have to learn how to do it. I wonder how difficult it is to go through several servers to remain anonymous. Dave, do you know?

John also says that this person had to have had personal information about the family. It's just creepy.

edited to add: Obviously, this person didn't write the letter to John in his own hand. Otherwise, it could have been compared to the RN. So, here again, if it is the same one who wrote the Patricia letters, he/she is trying to remain anonymous while contacting John Ramsey. Why go to such lengths?

   I don't think it would be that difficult to switch servers. Visit a net cafe, the public library, a kiosk, or a friend and you will have used possibly four separate servers.

I'd like to see the Patricia letters. I've heard of them, read Misty's theory and seen Jameson state her innocence of authorship but never the actual letters.

I was thinking it was somehow being directed through several servers in one session.

I read a few lines, briefly, quite some time ago, so I'm looking them up tonight. Wierd stuff, huh?

Patti,

I have not been at my home in Atlanta for some time. I cannot
tell you if your letter arrived or not. I wish you no harm but
deserve likewise from you. I will continue to filter out anything
you say that I might feel is hurtful.

I do not ask you to understand my reluctance to confirm my
identity to you or anyone. I will only say that I feared for my
life and the lives of those in my family. I do not ask you to
begin to fathom what this family has gone through. I have worries
that overshadow my concern that you believe I am who I say I am.

I have been silent with you because you hurt me. I do not wish to
go into depth about that at this time. You continue to hurt me.
Once my friend, you have joined those who misunderstand me; those
who doubt me and judge me. At first, I was shocked. Reality
brought me to the realization that this has turned out like all
the other attempts I have made in the past to appeal to a killer.
Yes, my silence has cost me dearly. What would you do to protect
your babies? I would do whatever it takes. I would disregard what
anyone thought of it.

I treasure the time we had together. You helped me through some
trying times. I thank you for that.

Patricia"

   It seemed pretty obvious to me they were a hoax:

Subject: Patti, why are you doing this?

Dear Patti,

Listen, I told you I am not Jameson. No, I did not know who that
was until you told me she was aka Sue *******. Of course I know
who Sue ******** is. I just did not know she also called herself
Jameson. Why are you suddenly being so mean to me? I have been
nothing but kind to you.

In case you have decided to get wise and expose me for a fraud or
a "dangerous killer" (which does not apply), you might save your
breath with the following people. They all have know me and have
possession of the address, ramsey@alias.nym.net:

Boulder District Attorney
Boulder Police
Donald and Nedra Paugh
The Ramsey Family
Crime Stoppers

I thought you were my friend. Instead, you have threatened me, in
regards to my revealing my identity. You've made mention that I
might be dangerous. I ask you, if I am dangerous, and the above
people are aware of me, why am I talking to you and not in jail
right now? You need leave well enough alone. Although, I have
sent you nice mails, you are doing this to me. You are angry with
me because I will not tell you I am Patricia Ramsey and did not
answer your questions. Don't you think that is a bit rediculous?
I told you from the beginning, I will not tell you who I am. Why
do I have to tell you my name? You assured me that you were not
interested in trying to uncover my identity. Why, suddenly are
you threatening me with this?

So go tell the world how much you hate a person you don't even
know. I have already been talked about on public radio talk
shows. People like Charlie Brennan would love to know about this
address. If you want to join the crowd in a hate campaign against
this family, go ahead and stab me in the back. It won't be the
first time. Why do you think I do not trust? Why do you think I
watch every word I say here? Because people turn on me and feed
my words to the hungry wolves to be twisted and used to hurt this
family. I'm not mad at you, Patti. I'm hurt. I thought you were
different. Can't we work this out and be friends again?

   Interesting. Neither message 'sounds' like either Jameson or Patsy.

One-eyed Jack,

There are many, many ways to spoof yourself (hide your identity) when sending email, logging onto a server, etc. I've not done this myself, never had a reason to, but there's a lot of information all around telling one how to do it.

Once upon a time, there even were people in Europe who set up anonymous servers to help others hide their identity. If you sent an email there, it would supposedly be resent without the original envelope --- as if it originated there, I believe. In this way, all that would show would be that server plus the others on the way to the final destination. No way to tell where the originals came from. I don't know if these servers still operate or not. There were lots of threats about serving search warrants to get the originals and so on. The server administrators started just deleting everything that came in as soon as it was resent, but still --- they could have had all their equipment seized once a week until they went broke.

Bascially, yes, this is easy to do and was common once upon a time.

   Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. After looking into it a little further, it looks like the author of the Patricia letters did use an email anonymizer. Although, I was a bit curious about the emails going through what looks like a college or university. It may be that the institution was unaware this was happening.

After reading a few of the letters, I think they were from someone who knew and was protective of the Ramseys...perhaps someone who was a bit of a practical joker. I don't believe they are relevant to the investigation.

   One-eyed Jack,

Security at colleges and universities is notoriously bad as a rule. There are a number of reasons for this. They are also common targets for hackers.

In response to message #18
 
   Isn't Jesse McReynolds quite computer savvy. Isn't he a software designer? Whoever wrote those letters, misspelled the word "rediculous". Also, the writer used parentheticals. Maybe the family they are referring to protecting is not the Ramsey family but the author's own family. Maybe a parent would do anything to protect their child.
