In PMPT, p18 of paperback, Schiller writes:
"Moments later, Ramsey told [Larry] Mason that he, his wife, and his son would be flying to Atlanta that evening. He said he had something really important to attend to."
Did John ever clarify what it was that he had to attend to?
I take it that it must have involved family, since attending to business would have been inconceivable at that point.
I've heard subsequently that John and/or Patsy thought that if there was a killer on the loose, targeting the Rams, they'd be safer with relatives or friends in Atlanta. But that explanation was after the fact, and doesn't explain what had to be "attended to" by John on the 26th (assuming the unreliable Schiller got the 2nd-hand quote right).
You might say that the entire process of relocating temporarily to Atlanta was something that could conceivably be "attended to"; but you couldn't say that you had to take the family to Atlanta, to ATTEND TO, well, taking them to Atlanta.. could you?
If you were relocating to Atlanta, you wouldn't say, "I'm taking the family to Atlanta, to attend to relocating them in Atlanta."
Well, I wouldn't
