and what was he doing for the 1 hour & 20 minutes I read about in that other thread (
http://websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6093371&postcount=76 )?
I know that it said he was checking the mail but...
Do we have a timeline or something for that 80 minutes?
Apologies if there's a thread somewhere else on this, I couldn't see it.
I think you are referring to the mis-read report of LA? The spin put on this is that JR left the house to 'get his mail'. Not true apparently, and never actually stated by the Detective on the scene at the time. This is from the deposition by LA. The fact was, she lost sight of him, not that he left the scene.

5 EXAMINATION
6 BY MR. HALABY:
(snip)
25 Q. And you had lost track of John Ramsey for a
1 period between 10:40 and twelve o'clock?
2 A. No.
3 Q. You didn't see him during that period of
4 time; is that correct?
5 A. No.
6 Q. It's not correct?
7 A. That is not correct.
8 Q. Didn't you report - all right. You said
9 sometime between 10:40 and 12:00 he went out to pick up
10 the mail.
11 A. No.
12 Q. What did you say?
13 A. I believe I worded it in my report rather
14 vaguely, and what I worded and what has been put out in
15 the media are not the same. I said something during
16 that time frame I saw John reading his mail.
17 Q. We will get back to that later.
18 But there was a period when you lost
19 contact with him, is that right, personal contact with
20 him?
21 A. I did not watch John Ramsey the entire
22 time.
23 Q. Okay. But during this period you were
24 pretty much just standing around the Ramsey home there.
25 You weren't doing any specific investigation, isn't
1 that correct, between 8:00 and one o'clock?
2 A. That's not correct.
3 Q. What investigation were you conducting
4 between 8:00 and one o'clock?
5 A. From 8:00 to 10:00, monitoring the
6 telephone calls. There was a supervisor who was in
7 with a few detectives at that time. There were still
8 CSIs that we were directing. Fred and I were directing
9 their evidence collection from the house.
10 Q. Were you collecting evidence?
11 A. Not specific physical evidence.
12 Q. Okay. You were collecting evidence based
13 on your observations of people?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. And you were observing the demeanor of John
16 Ramsey during this period?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Did you have any suspicions at that point
19 in time?
20 A. With regard to - what kind?
21 Q. Prior to his coming up the stairs holding
22 the body of JonBenet, did you have any suspicions that
23 he might have been involved in the murder of JonBenet
24 as opposed to the fact that it appeared to be a
25 kidnapping at that time?
1 A. No."
