From Larry King Live, 5/31/00:
THOMAS: And why would pediatric medical experts that the Boulder Police Department brought into this case swear out, via affidavit, that JonBenet had been subjected to prior vaginal trauma.
J. RAMSEY: You're lying. You're lying, Steve. That is a lie.
KING: Wait a minute. You're saying they didn't say that?
J. RAMSEY: Our pediatrician, who saw JonBenet a dozen times each year for the past three years before this happened, has sworn and testified in public that he saw no evidence of sexual abuse.
KING: And what was evidence your pediatrician saw?
THOMAS: Well, my pediatrician, pediatric experts that were brought into this case, a blue ribbon medical panel.
J. RAMSEY: Who are they, Steve? Can I ask you who they are?
KING: Said? Said?
THOMAS: Said that this little girl, prior to the night she died, had been subjected to previous vaginal trauma.
P. RAMSEY: That is a lie.
This isn't the only time the Ramseys adamantly deny that JBR was molested at all -- by anybody at any time prior to the night of her death -- and react as if it is a personal accusation when no accusation had been made.
It is curious to me that instead of seeing this as a valuable clue as to the identity of that ever-elusive intruder, that despicable man who tortured and killed their child, they vehemently deny again and again that she was sexually abused at all by anyone at anytime prior to 1/26/96. It must have been just a daydream.
