with a cord Little Miss Colorado 6-year-old murder victim John Ben Ramsey unknown
Intruder her [Applause] brother victory Ramsey oh my God they still have not interviewed the
parents I Didn't Do It John Ram didn't do it and we didn't have a clue of anybody who
did my life has been H from that day forward and I want nothing more and to find out who was responsible for
this there would be very few little girls as famous as Blonde six-year-old John Benet
Patricia Ramsay she was born in Atlanta Georgia on August 6th 1990 to parents John Bennett Ramsay and Patricia an
ramsy her name as unique as it was was a combination of her father's first and middle names her Father John was a
wealthy businessman and her mother py was a former beauty queen John Ramsey was a smart calculated and determined
man he graduated from Michigan State University in 1966 with an electrical engineering
degree 5 years later a master's in Business Administration from MSU John was married before he and his
first wife had three children Elizabeth Melinda and John Andrew but the two divorced in
1978 on November 5th 1980 he married what many considered to be the woman of his dreams 23-year-old Patricia Anne paw
yeah better known as Patsy paty attended West Virginia University and graduated with a ba in journalism in
1978 just a year before she won the Miss West Virginia Beauty title in 1977 on January 27th
1987 paty gave birth to the couple's first child Burke Ramsey then three and a half years later they welcomed their
second child John Benet in 1991 the family moved to Boulder Colorado for Jon's business access Graphics a little
background here John was extremely hardworking and driven he was an entrepreneur he started a computer
company in the 80s eventually his company and two other companies merged in 1988 this formed access Graphics the
company was then sold to lock keed Martin in 1991 John became the chief executive
officer and president of access Graphics thus sparking the family to set up shop
in beautiful Boulder Colorado the ramsy purchased a 7,000 ft home the address 7551 15th Street
Boulder Colorado the home was purchased for $500,000 some reports State the home is
11,000 square ft but I believe that would include maybe the basement balconies and other areas we all know
how the real estate listing Game Works they also did a very extensive renovation on the property as well
speaking of which I will do my best impression here it's a beautiful red brick tutor style home built in 1927
there are four floors including the basement the basement is made up of a series of small rooms the home features
two staircases one traditional and one one spiral there are five bedrooms Burke and John benet's rooms are located on
the Second Story Johan's room is complete with its own bathroom and balcony the master suite is above the
children's rooms located on the third story The Ramsay paty in particular loved this house the ramies were riding
pretty high but unfortunately life is often a series of Peaks and valleys sadly on January 8th 1992 John Ramsay's
oldest daughter from his first marriage Elizabeth Ramsey was killed in an automobile accident in Chicago Illinois
she was just 22 years old on December 23rd 1992 the Ramsay purchased a 1,731 ft vacation home in charoy
Michigan for $336,000 for those unfamiliar this is an absolutely beautiful area Northern
Michigan Right Along Lake Michigan absolutely gorgeous in June of 93 paty Ramsey is diagnosed with breast cancer
for this she will receive exams at the charoy community hospital and treatments in Maryland now we're going to go
through a pretty thorough timeline for the ramsy family some of these events may seem trivial however given the crime
that we know is going to occur these items were included in this timeline because of the possibilities and the
suspicions surrounding this case in 1994 7-year-old Burke hits his little sister Jean Benet on the cheek with a
golf club well and let's be clear this is not a situation where Burke decided I don't like you and I'm going to smash
you in the face with a golf club this was purely an accident this wasn't like the time my brother hit me in the back
with a baseball bat because he was trying to kill me I questioned this at first glance
because we do know that children siblings will fight with one another and they can be quite vicious at times plus
when they're very young as they would be in this situation it's an impulsive thing to pick up a club and hit your
sister or your brother with it because they did something mean to you first and Burke only being 7 years old he wouldn't
be thinking if I hit her in the face with a golf club I could possibly kill her right this could have lasting
consequences however everything that we could find only indicates that this was just an accident and believe it or not
in my own life I have experienced a situation where one of my friends accidentally hit another friend in the
face with a golf club in the face on the back swing because the person was standing too close as the other person
was taking a swing we don't have the details of this specific accident however again everything indicates that
it was just that an accident right but it it was pretty vicious because John B would be left with a scar a short time
later John B underwent plastic surgery at a surgeon in Denver this to correct that scar on the left cheek from the
golf club incident in December of 1994 the Ramsay's giant beautiful home is one of just seven homes in the area
to be included in the historic homes for the holidays tour this is important for a few reasons
mainly this means that approximately 1,500 people will participate in a tour of the Ramsay's property and the house
in April of 1995 4-year-old John Benet Ramsey wins the Colorado State Allstar kids pageant now she will participate
and win several pageants I'm not going to go through all of them Captain frankly when researched well you get a
bunch of different information so I will just stick to the ones that I can confirm or at least have double
checked October of 1995 was a happy and exciting month for the Ramsay family John Benet was crowned Little Miss
Colorado Sunburst and John Ramsey was the winner of the entrepreneur of Distinction award yeah but to be clear I
don't think like her whole family was revolved around her winning something I think it was nice when she won and they
devoted a lot of time doing it but I don't think it made the family's year if she got some award regarding John
Ramsay's business keep in mind axis Graphics is doing very well and the company is growing in sales and staff
quite rapidly then it was paty's turn to receive some recognition this came when
the April 1996 issue of women's magazine profiled paty Ramsey this article of course will include a lot of her person
personal information but also a lot of personal information about John and the kids then in July of 1996 John Benet won
America's Royale tiny miss the following month she finishes second in the Sunburst National Pageant this pageant
was held in Atlanta Georgia on Saturday November 30th John Ramsey host a surprise 40th birthday
party for his wife of 16 years and this is truly a surprise as her actual birthday is not until December
29th this was a big 40th birthday celebration for py held at The Palace Hotel in Denver there's a lot of
speculation though that she was not looking forward to this time and was actually very upset about turning 40
then on December 6th during the lights of December parade John Benet appeared on her own little miss Colorado float
this is an annual Parade Where Spectators enjoy floats created and decorated by local businesses churches
and Civic groups the parade often includes marching bands fire engines holiday carolers and an appearance by
Santa Claus this takes place in downtown Boulder in 1996 Burke was in this parade
as well on Friday December 13th there is a big holiday party at the ramsy home this is attended by more than 150 of
their friends from church so again just pointing out another event at their house with a lot of guests so what we
are quickly learning is this is a house that has many people who have been in and is often opened up to many guests
over just the few years that they have owned the home right 4 days later on the 17th the six-year-old was crowned
Colorado's Little Miss Christmas this this is one of the larger pageants that she has participated in
and certainly an achieving moment and in hindsight really kind of just an eerie weird thing that John Benet would be
named the 1996 Little Miss Christmas now we don't have a date but I want to make
sure that we include this here there is a report that this took place sometime in December of 96 and this comes from a
statement to law enforcement at some time in December John Benet tells a gardener this is
Brian Scott about her Father John Ramsey she says I really miss him and I wish he was around more yeah he's
working pretty hard probably traveling a lot and later reported that his net worth at this time would be roughly 6.4
million December 20th was a busy day for the ramies on two fronts one access Graphics had a luncheon party and a
celebration for more than 300 employees at the hotel Boulderado and two John Benet participates in a school
performance at High Peaks Elementary School py attends the performance the access graphics cunon and the
performance at the school are going on at the same time so py is not present for the business celebration because she
is at the school now it's important to keep in mind that one of these events could be tied to John B's death for any
number of reasons truth be told none of us really know for sure here is an excerpt from the book death of Innocence
authored by John and pany Ramsey in the book John says early in December 1996 Tom Carson came to my office John I want
you to look at these figures I looked up at him standing at the door with a handful of papers as best as I can tell
we're going to hit the billion dollar sales Mark in a couple of days it's a big milestone a billion dollars my mouth
dropped I know we were close but I didn't think we were there yet it's on top of us he smiled probably in a couple
of days I think we should do something to celebrate I agreed and for no other reason than to congratulate our
employees a billion dollars in sales and 600 employees worldwide was a big milestone for
Graphics one of our public relations people thought we should also contact the newspaper to announce our
success I had a gut reaction that the press release wasn't a good idea I didn't want that kind of visibility
outside of the business still I agreed since our employees deserve the recognition now I wonder if this
publicity might have attracted the attention of the killer or further irritated the person if he or she had a
grudge against big business access Graphics or me note John's memory of this party in the book states that the
luncheon was held on December 16th according to the Daily Camera business magazine this celebration was held on
December 20th John did a phone interview regarding the company's success and on December 21st the Daily Camera business
magazine publishes the article on axis graphics reaching $1 billion in sales all right so why are we going with
December 20th and not December 16th that's a good question we have a couple of reasons for that one we know that the
luncheon and the school performance occurred on the same day we have statements saying that the performance
the school performance was on the 20th and we also have the fact that the Daily Camera business magazine article
comes out that same year I mean just the day after the party John's book does not
come out until years later and he's going off of memory on December 22nd John Benet Ramsey is going to be in a
beauty pageant in the Southwest Plaza Mall this is the one that she sings Rocking around the Christmas tree and
she has a toy saxophone sometime in late December the ramsy family sent out their
annual Christmas card with the Ramsay family updates for their loved ones the 1996 Christmas newsletter reads as
follows dear friends and family it's been another busy year at the ramsy household can't believe it's almost over
and time to start again Melinda 24 graduated from Medical College of Georgia and is working in pediatric ICU
at Kenny Stone Hospital in Atlanta John Andrew 20 is a sophomore at the University of
Colorado Burke is a busy fourth grader where he really shines in math and spelling he played flag football this
fall and is currently on a basketball beninge his little league team was number one he's lost just about all of
his baby teeth so I'm sure we'll be seeing the orthodontist in 1997 John Benet is enjoying her first
year in real school kindergarten in the core knowledge program is fast-paced and
five full days a week she has already been moved ahead to first grade math she continues to enjoy participating in
talent and modeling pageants she was named America's Royale tiny miss last summer and is Colorado's Little Miss
Christmas her teacher says she is so outgoing that she will never have trouble delivering an oral book
report John is always on the go traveling hither and yawn access recently celebrated its $1
billion Mark in sales so he's pretty happy he and his crew were underway in the port hon to MAAC Island yacht race
in July but had to pull out Midway due to lack of wind can you believe that but his real love is the new old looking
boat grand season which he spent months designing I spend most of my free time working in
the school and doing volunteer work the charoy house was on the home tour in July and will likely appear in one of
the Better Homes and Gardens Publications in 1997 on a recent trip to NYC my friend
and I appeared among the throng of fans on The Today Show Al Roker and Bryant actually talked
to us and we were on camera for a few fleeting moments we are all enjoying continued good
health and look forward to seeing you in 1997 one final note thank you to all of
my friends and my dear husband for surprising me with the biggest most outrageous 40th birthday bash I have
ever had we'll be spending my actual birthday on the Disney big red boat over the New Year merry Christmas and much
love the Ramsay I I kind of find this whole ritual that people do with the updating of the families it's kind of
douchy well I feel like this is a very upper class typical holiday thing update everybody with a newsletter I've never
and probably will never experience having to put one of these letters together yeah being just a a
regular blue collar guy myself what it jumps out to me is that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where they write
a bunch of really nice stuff about themselves that's not true but here everything that paty and
I'm assuming paty puts this together as it sounds you know she says I spend most
of my free time it it really points to her upbringing and how polished and Posh she really is yeah
and I everything that she has put here is true and it's just it's just interesting to see how the other half
lives well it just seems like they should get into their douche canoe and paddle down vanity River I've never
lived far from family and friends so maybe this is more common than what I am aware of on December 23rd this is just
two days before Christmas the ramsy hosted a Christmas party with approximately 30 guests attending and
with former journalism Professor Bill MC Reynolds playing Santa Claus MC Reynolds
was a ramsy family friend probably one of the more alarming details in this timeline during the
Ramsay's Christmas party M at 6:47 p.m. someone attending the party placed a 911
call which was answered by police dispatcher theres Hillary the caller hung up without saying anything police
called back but when they did no one answered and the call was picked up by the Ramsay's answer in machine because
of this an officer goes to the home at 6:54 p.m. the officer knocks on the door and is invited in and then leaves at
7:09 p.m. this after being assured that there was no emergency this has made people
speculate was the perpetrator of this crime at this party and calling 911 to see how fast somebody would respond to
911 call this is why one of those items that you you look at it and you just go what is going on here because as you
just pointed out it could mean something very big to this case and to the investigation right if in fact what you
said and what people have speculated toward is true that means the Killer is at this party but or somebody that
worked with the Killer is at this party right but you also have a lot of kids running around is it possible that one
of them just picked up the phone and dialed 911 and then never confessed to it because they didn't want to get into
trouble there is a guest list that you can find online I have reviewed it myself don't care to go into it here as
it sounds quite boring to just read off a list of names the other thing I question though too Captain is what kind
of staff was working this party would we have had people helping out whether it be Caterers or somebody answering the
door valet and cars you know so it could extend beyond the guest list for whoever
called 911 I'm with you I think that there's a very likely possibility that with all these kids running around one
of the older kids wants to do something funny in front of the younger kids and calls 911 you know and gets scared and
hangs up well and there's two other things some people have 911 on a speed dial so you have people working a party
to somebody pick up the phone to call this is 1996 they don't have cell phones most people don't have cell phones so
did somebody working the party go to make a call hit the wrong button and it speed dialed 911 that's something I
couldn't find information from on the internet the other thing too one of my speculations and we'll have to get into
this later is it possible that little John Benet Ramsey herself called 911 because something happened at that
point [Music] party this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays

donated to the Beer Fund in 2019 happy holidays and just to be clear about this part party we're not for sure
it's been reported multiple ways that the person playing Santa Claus got a tour of the house from John Benet Ramsay
some people speculate that happened in 1996 some people say that happened in 1995 so Bill MC Reynolds was considered
a family friend of the Ramsay and someone that he wasn't just somebody that was hired to play Santa Claus they
they knew this man on some level right he had played Santa Claus at their holiday party before and as you said
it's a bit confusing on the stories that you hear even over 20 years later where
some people will say John Benet gave Bill McReynolds a tour of the home at some point during the party on in
1996 some people say that it may have happened in 1995 we also have a situation where it is said that John
Benet gave Bill McReynolds a gift and he would say years later that out of all the times that he played
Santa Claus out of all the parties that he attended as Santa Claus that John Benet was the only child to give him a
gift again and he's receiving this gift a couple days before her death so that's
something that obviously would stick out to you other and the only other gift that he probably ever got was like maybe
a stinky lap from some dirty kid on Christmas Eve December 24th an article appeared in the Daily Camera regarding
the Ramsay's Christmas party apparently this Daily Camera is just watching and Reporting everything going on in the
ramsy world during the day on December 24th John Benet played at a friend's home
this is Megan cck's house and told Megan's mother Barbara about a secret visit from Santa now this wasn't
just her running up and saying hey Santa's going to visit me there was a discussion had between Megan's mother
Barbara and little John Benet right Barbara questioned John Benet as to when Santa was going to pay her this secret
visit because we are on Christmas Eve you can imagine the natural conversation that would be an adult and a small child
the adult is going to say something to the effect of yes you've been good all year and when you go to bed tonight
Santa's going to visit you and when you wake up you're going to find all your presents under the tree mhm through this
conversation what Barbara would learn is that John Benet explains to her no I'm not talking about you know she wasn't
talking about the traditional visit from Santa Claus as we all know it right duh
that's already going to happen she says no this is going to be a secret visit after Christmas mhm and of course at the
time this doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary for Barbara or strange right it would only be until a
few days later that this is really going to set off some alarm bouss well and that's what's so difficult about this
case is there's so many little points of you can't even call them evidence just points of speculation that could mean
everything or could mean nothing at all the other thing too here Captain is I'm sure there's a lot of people out there
right now that if they did not know of this detail already their mind is immediately jumping to Santa Claus Bill
MC Reynolds who we just discussed playing Santa Claus at the Ramsay's home on the
23rd I think that's a natural fit we should keep in mind here though how many Christmas events has this little girl
attended just in the recent weeks right how many Santa Clauses did she come into
interaction with we talked about the parade that she attended that she sat on the float the main attraction was Santa
Claus she could have spoke to a Santa Claus there or just somebody dressed as Santa Claus right or a Santa Claus at
the mall or yeah the mall pageant that she attended there was the school event this is the second of the Ramsey's
Christmas parties and who knows how many parties they attended as a family right
but let's just say that she spent a little more time than some of the kids with the family friend playing Santa and
he just casually says she she might have said something to him like well yeah I know you're going to visit me on
Christmas what but what about after that and he's like oh well I'll I'll pay you
a special visit after Christmas not didn't mean anything but would mean the world to a six-year-old just like the
911 call that came from the Ramsay's home on the 23rd this mention of a secret visit from Santa Claus after
Christmas could mean a lot it could mean nothing at all in regards to the investigation on December 24th later
that day the ramies attended the Twilight service at St John's Episcopal Church in Boulder
Colorado around 9900 p.m. John Ramsey retrieves a brand new silver girls bicycle stored at a neighbor's home this
is Joe Barnhill's garage and he places it under the Christmas tree for John Benet and then both John and pany ramsy
get stashed Christmas gifts out from their basement it's listed here as the basement area and place these under the
tree as well this is interesting for a few reasons one it shows that at 9:00 p.m. on the 24th both both ramsy adults
both parents went down into the basement to retrieve these hidden Christmas gifts
for the kids right their basement as we mentioned earlier is made up of a series
of rooms there's several small rooms in this basement it's my understanding that
the large room was more of a play area now given the size of this home I don't know that a designated play area means
that it was frequented by the children often MH or if it was just a once in a while type thing well their house is
very interesting to me because it's so large but it's so blocked off in little sections it's almost like a a maze and
also when you see pictures or video footage when they had the little tours for the houses the Christmas tours their
house looks immaculate it looks amazing but but when you see crime scene photos of the house it looks every room looks
like it's in a disarray looks like to me I would say every room needs to be cleaned every room needs to be organized
based off those pictures so it's a it's a very interesting house couple quick thoughts here before we move on Captain
often you know this was a home built in 1927 and often when homes are added to over the years they end up looking like
that where it's a it's a lot of smaller rooms rather than a few giant rooms yeah
and I also wondered and I couldn't find I I know that there's blueprints of this
house online and I found like the top floors but I couldn't tell the basement and like you said this house has been
added on to but a lot of times the basement's aren't added on to so let's say it's a 7,000 ft home well that
basement only might be500 Square ft the reason why I pointed out that the basement was a series of rooms as well
as question how often the basement was in actual use by either the parents and or the kids is that my assumption here
is that the parents are hiding the gifts from their kids they could be possibly hiding gifts from one another as well
right but just wanted to point out that on Christmas Eve both parents state that
they went into the Bas basement of that home now I question how often the children would be in the basement
because we're going to have a lot of questions going forward about a very small room that's well tucked away in
this basement mhm if the kids don't go down there very often there's no need to hide these gifts to that extent they
could have just hid them in the quote unquote playroom yeah but it's pretty common knowledge that this room that
they quote unquote called the wine seller is a room that was unfinished it was to become a wine seller never happen
and that's often where they would hide gifts because that at least that part of the basement we know that the kids
didn't go to so we we have do we have something stating that the the gifts were hid in this wine seller no but what
we have from John Ramsey is when he was explaining to the police police officers
this is you know this is what we call the wine seller but it's not finished yet it's going to be the wine seller
right now it's just used for storage and sometimes we put presents there for the
kids on December 25th 1996 this is around 6:00 a.m. the ramies wake up later in an interview pansy will say it
was 6ish probably the rams's John paty Burke and John Benet will partake in the normal Christmas morning activi
exchanging and opening gifts breakfast and you know Captain I feel like the Christmas morning cup of coffee is the
best one of the year I love when the parents stop everything and say look we're not opening up anything until I
get my first cup of coffee right right make them wait at noon John is going to leave the house this is to go and check
on the airplane keep in mind they have a planned flight for early the next next morning mhm sometime between 2: and 300
p.m. John Ramsay returns to the home from checking the plane so the family with the exception of John leaving for a
bit this is pretty much just a really great Christmas Day at home now you had touched upon something just a few
minutes ago where you said when you see the crime scene photos that the house is
in disarray that it's just a mess well first off with my standards with two young children in the home and having a
big Christmas I would say a big lavish Christmas because the parents have all kinds of money and they can buy these
children all kinds of stuff one would anticipate to see a mess especially when they're not hosting anything you know
they've already hosted their Christmas get together one would expect to see a mess however I do want to point out that
there were several people close relatives of the Ramsay that stated that the house was kind of always in a mess
even though that the house had a housekeeper and that they had some help that would come in and take care of some
things for them the house was always in a mess this again in part two young children will do that to a home right
but messy house messy mind I also want to point out that in years past we have video footage of the Ramsay cryst on I
believe it was 1994 and I maybe some footage on '95 I don't know if that was released to the
public but on 1996 what they claim is I think they woke up and the battery was dead of the camcar so that's why they
didn't take a video that day between 5: and 6:00 p.m. the ramies left their house this is all four of them John paty
Burke and John Benet and they are in route for the home of their dear friends Fleet and Priscilla white this is for a
Christmas party I've seen this reported to be as early as 400 p.m. but most often it's said to be in the 5:00 hour
now this is your typical Christmas party but at an unknown time the ramies leave this party
right on the drive home from the party John Benet and her brother Burke fell asleep in the car and the ramsy made
some stops along the way to drop off gifts this is to Stewart and Roxy Walker's home and then to Glenn and
Susan Stein's house because we don't know exactly what time they left the party and what time
these stops took place we also don't know exactly what time the ramsy arrived back at their house right they claim it
was between 9 and 9:30 we would have several stories about what would take place once the ramies
arrive at their home one of these stories says that John put John Benet Ramsay to bed and then he went and
played a game with Burke afterward and eventually Burke goes to bed the ramsy later reported to the
Boulder Police Department officers that John Benet Ramsey was last seen by paty Ramsey in The Residence at a
approximately 10: p.m. according to Boulder Police Department detective Linda art John Ramsey said John B was
last seen by him at approximately 2200 hours 10 p.m. either way both of these statements put John Benet as being last
seen in her bed at 10:00 right and a lot of people think how it went down was they get home she's still asleep they
don't want to wake her up and John carries her to her bed that's where he would say good night and then
supposedly this is where paty Ramsey comes in to check on her and and says good night to her as well John would
tell two Boulder police officers separately that he read to both children before they went to bed now later he
would deny both of those statements yeah cuz I've I've heard him say several times that he carried her to bed and she
was asleep sleep when he carried her to bed yeah I just don't know here Captain I could see either of these situations
being very likely kids fall asleep in the car you don't want to wake them up you put them straight to bed it's also
Christmas night you know thinking back to my childhood you remember when you get like something super cool like like
a Super Nintendo or really big gift right and then your parents are like here's your Super Nintendo with a couple
of games oh we gotta leave and go to somebody's Christmas party and you're like the last thing I want to do is
leave so the kids could have yeah they could have still been excited and when they got home either situation makes
makes sense to me what doesn't make sense is that the stories aren't the same or similar enough yeah and I would
say look if you're Burke hey look at the story they both fell asleep on the way home 9-year-old Burke wakes up and guess
what he wants to do he wants to play with one of his cool toys that he got just like you just said jnay Ramsey is
she's six years old and think about the amount of stuff she has done she she's been a in competitions she's been per in
performances she's had to be run all over to this family gathering this friends and family gathering I'm
assuming that this 6-year-old is wiped out and there is a picture that was just recent in the last couple years released
to the public which is supposedly the last picture of John Benet that was ever taken and she looks tired in the picture
and that was taken at the party before they left to go home so and also like I said early claims from John Ramsey this
is what happened later claims from John Ramsay this is what happened I'm going to go with that story around
10 to 10:30 p.m. paty goes to bed now according to paty's statement John goes to bed at 10:03 to 10:33 p.m. what we're
basing this off of is that paty says quote John came to bed shortly thereafter then asked do you recall if
it was 15 minutes or a half an hour right paty Ramsey says it was probably just a few minutes so we are tacking on
3 minutes either way to that statement 10:03 to 10:33 John and paty both claimed that they were not awakened
during the night they're both in bed yeah but I heard it reported somewhere I want to say maybe it was John Douglas
that John Ramsey claims that he took some kind of sleeping a that night I believe that to be correct as well as I
think that was a pretty regular thing for John Ramsey either way by both accounts we have both of them in bed
between 10 10:30ish 10:33 at the latest yeah I've not seen any reports like growing up when I was a kid my father
would go through and check the windows and check the doors now we didn't live in a 7,000 ft house but I wonder if John
ramsy had some kind of rout that he would check the perimeter of the house it has been said that he did that night
and it has been said by people that were close to the family and their housekeeper that the ramies were quote
good I believe the quote is actually really good about locking their doors mhm but it's interesting because they're
not using their alarm system they have alarm system but it seems like that was not a common practice for the ram
it would have been at one time the problem was or it's been reported as such that having two little kids in the
home the children were constantly setting off the security system which created all these false alarms and
anybody that has a security system knows that those false alarms they start to come with fines that can get
fairly fairly steep right fairly quickly from law enforcement Now we move on to December
26th Captain sometime around midnight neighbor Scott Gibbons says he looked out his kitchen window toward the Ramsay
residence and observed that the upper kitchen lights were on and dimmed low again another one of those things it
could mean something it could mean nothing at all MH now the whereabouts of John Andrew ramsy this is John's son
from his first marriage his whereabouts will come into question so it is important for us to
not here that between midnight and 1 a.m. at least three people put him at the home of Lucinda Johnson in maretta
Georgia later he is at another home again in Georgia just to be perfectly clear here
Captain these sightings these aliis for John Andrew Ramsay are one 100% confirmed right yeah they were actually
cleared by the police which they haven't cleared a lot of people on this case so
for them to clear him that that's important and we have confirmation of people being with John Andrew Ramsay up
until 8:36 a.m. M at 1:00 a.m. neighbors Andrew vermier and Luke vermier they went to bed this is after watching
movies they say that before they went to bed all the way up to 1:00 a.m. they did
not hear anything unusual they didn't see anything unusual everything was typical for that time of
night according to Boulder detective Steve Thomas neighbor Melody Stanton says she heard a scream between midnight
and 2 a.m. this seems quite interesting to me but I do want to take this a step further and point out that this same one
woman did say at the very early stages of the investigation that she had nothing to offer she did not want to get
involved then later she claims that she heard a scream between the Midnight Hour
and approximately 2 a.m. yeah I heard what I heard about these screams is that they heard some screams multiple screams
not just one but they heard multiple screams and thought okay well surely the the parents of this girl are home cuz
they she thought the screams were from a little girl that the parents are home and they'll take care of this and that's
why they stopped hearing the screams also around 2 a.m. I want to point out that the whites regarding the activity
at their friends Fleet in Priscilla white M everyone including their guest are reported to have gone to bed by 2
a.m. at 5:30 a.m. John Ramsey wakes up the family plan to get up early that morning because they were to fly to
charoy Michigan for a family vacation paty Ramsey got up quote a few minutes later while Mr Ramsay took a shower Mrs
Ramsay put back on the same outfit she had on the night before she put on some makeup and she went down to the second
floor and then went down the spiral stairs to the kitchen now there's two different versions of this story there
is one that states that she went to check on John Benet on her way downstairs and John Benet was not there
right the other story says that she went she attempted to go straight down to the
ground level floor now either way there on the spiral stairs she found on a step near the
bottom of these stairs she discovered a handwritten note on three sheets of paper laid out side by side that
indicated that John Benet had been kidnapped paty Ramsey told detective art that she found a note at the bottom of
the staircase at approximately 5:45 a.m. she says she read only a few lines stating that John Benet was kidnapped
but safe and unharmed and demanding $118,000 for her return Mrs Ramsey immediately screamed and then ran to
check John benet's room which she found to be empty after hearing Mrs Ramsay scream John Ramsay ran downstairs and
met paty Ramsey in the stairwell together they checked on Burke who appeared to be asleep in his room John
Ramsey then went downstairs to read The Ransom note he told paty to call the police 911 logged the call at 5:52
