There has long been speculation about what John Ramsey did down in the basement the morning of the 26th when he was "missing." Det. Linda Arndt stated that when he came back up from the basement that morning he was more visibly shaken and upset.
In looking over some of my old copies of transcripts last night I came upon this statement from Larry Schiller. It's from his Barnes & Noble on-line chat discussing his new book.
The question posed to Schiller was this:
Q: "At 10am on Dec. 26th, the morning of the murder, John Ramsey disappeared for awhile. Where do YOU think he went? Was he possibly tampering with evidence or moving JonBenet's body?
A: (Schiller) "I know that he went into the basement and found the broken window open. He himself told this to the police on April 30, 1997. What ELSE he did in the basement I have been asked by law enforcement to exclude from the book to protect the investigation."
And later Schiller stated, "My book contains only about 10% of what I know of the investigation..."
Two things stand out to me. One, it is pretty clear that John Ramsey did indeed DO something down in that basement that morning (or it would not have been requested of Schiller to EXCLUDE it from his book to protect the investigation).
And secondly - the question has been raised before as to why John Ramsey, when prompted by Det. Linda Ardnt to "search the house top to bottom" - chose to make a bee-line straight for the basement - not to mention straight to the tucked away room where JonBenet's body lay - he didn't start at the "top" and work his way down?
In light of the fact that he was down in that basement messing around not too long before Arndt's suggestion - makes it even more curious and frankly very suspicious.
In addition, we've often heard different crime experts say that usually if a parent has been involved in the death of their child that they are not the ones to "find" the body. This is been promoted as being in John Ramsey's favor as he was the one who "found" the body.
We know now this is not always true as little Laura Hobbs evil father who stabbed her (and her friend) to death on Mother's Day - was the one who "found" his daughter's body. They had a crime expert on t.v. saying the reason he did this was to contaminate the crime scene with HIS forensics and evidence to explain why it was there at the crime scene.
Did John Ramsey feel "safer" finding the body since he had 2 friends with him this time down to the basement?? (Mr. Hobbs had someone else with him upon his "discovery" as well).
And by the way - we've heard alot about Fleet White's reaction and observation of John Ramsey's "discovery" of JonBenet' body. Along with the account of him running up the stairs and grabbing a phone and shouting for someone to call 911... but why have we never heard anything from John Fernie who was right there with Fleet?? The affadavit states that John Fernie was right there. It states: "John Ramsey immediately went to the basement of the house, followed by Fleet White and John Fernie."
