from the Patsy Ramsey interrogation (excerpts) interview June 1998, as transcribed by ACR:
PR: (looking through photo album) "Looks like the little red turtleneck, little cotton red turtleneck that I wanted her to wear to the White's and she didn't want to wear."
Det. Tom Haney: "How did it end up there?"
PR: (looking through photo album): "Well," (Patsy then very quietly begins to cry)
Det. Tom Haney: "It's about 10:25; you want to take a break?"
PR: (Patsy crying..muffled) "Sorry." (Muffled)
Interrogation tape appears to break here and a new conversation starts.
We know that initially, Patsy told the officers that JB went to bed in the red turtleneck; she later changed that story to say that she was put to bed in the white star Gap shirt. We don't know what the pictures show from the White's Christmas party as they have never been publicly released. The red turtleneck was found balled up on the bathroom counter. Patsy says that she removed JB's black velvet jeans and put on the white longjohns that she herself got out of a drawer for her. All the while JB is said to be sleeping.
I am fascinated with the red turtleneck. I don't think that Patsy got it wrong when she initially reported that JB went to bed wearing that. And here we have Patsy getting upset when she sees the red turtleneck....so upset that Det. Haney obviously feels empathy and takes a break. Why didn't he press her on this? I feel that an opportunity was missed.
