Is the video of this interview with JR & PR available anywhere?
I have googled & searched on YouTube but can't find it (except for a really short excerpt) & I really want to see it.
Thanks.
So I guess Patsy was Patricia during the beginning of the case.
When CNN sold copies of their shows, what years did it go back to? Did they sell other shows right around that date but not that January 1 show? Like every show in 1996 and 1997 is for sale but not that one for some unknown reason?
Lakes claim was that in that "interview" Patsy had said something about the number of people in the house at the time JB died that would have lent credence to his claim that it was more than one juvenile who was responsible. Lake went so far as to think that the RN was even written by juveniles because of the language used in it (movie references, etc.). Not to give any more attention to his theory than necessary, but he seemed to have a great deal of disdain for the Whites, and believed that it was their son who was picked up during the Christmas present deliveries, along with his bike. (As a personal aside, if there had been a friend of BRs in the home, I would think it more likely to be one whose name was Stine.) After the death and before the 911-call, Lake believed that this juvenile rode his bicycle home accounting for the bike tracks found in the snow around the Ramsey home on the morning of Boxing Day.Did Lake ever say what was missing from the transcript? I'm guessing that the website with the transcript got it from CNN's website from whenever they had it up right? Or did that person type it as they were watching it? If CNN edited the transcript to leave out stuff from the televised interview, what would the reason behind that?
I've posted a link to the September 11, 1997 Charlie Rose interview with Ann Louise Bardach and Gregg McCrary, in the media links. Interesting to say the least.
Did anyone know that PR changed her original story on finding the RN??
I remember right after this hit the news in 1996/7 that Patsy was said to have changed her story. I think after a little while, the defense lawyers got them to get their "stories" straight, and that is also a big reason why those same lawyers refused to allow Patsy and JR to be interviewed separately. The main condition they put on any LE interview with the Rs was that they would not be interviewed unless they were together.
INNOCENT people could be interviewed 1000 times, alone, together, upside down, etc. Wouldn't matter- what they said would be the same. Because when you are innocent, you don't have to have your version of events match anyone else, because you are telling the truth.
Similarly, from ST's book:Did anyone know that PR changed her original story on finding the RN?? She first claimed to have checked JB and found her not in bed, prior to finding the RN. Check it out, in the interview...
Well worth watching again.I've posted a link to the September 11, 1997 Charlie Rose interview with Ann Louise Bardach and Gregg McCrary, in the media links. Interesting to say the least
Similarly, from ST's book:
It had been difficult to get information from the parents at first, but now several officers and detectives were speaking with them, pulling together elements of what had happened.
It soon became clear that Patsy Ramsey had changed a very important part of her story and that her statements about her initial movements were inconsistent. It raised some doubts when investigators compared their notes. She originally told Officer French that she checked the bedroom before finding the note on the stairs, but she later told Detective Arndt that she went downstairs and found the note first and only then hurried to the bedroom and found JonBenét gone.
An equally important point, made by John Ramsey, was repeated to three different officers. He told French, Arndt, and later Sergeant Whitson that he had personally checked the doors the previous night and all were secure. When three cops get the same information during separate conversations with the same person, I view it as a consistent story. Months later, in an official interview, Ramsey would deny saying it to any of them.
Patsy also told officers she thought the house was locked when they went to bed. No keys had been lost or stolen, John Ramsey told both French and Arndt, and the only people who had keys other than the immediate family were Patsys mother and his oldest son, both of whom were out of state, and the housekeeper, Linda Hoffmann-Pugh.
Officers reconstructed some of the timeline of the previous night from the parents recollections. John Ramsey said the family returned home from the party about ten oclock, and he read to both children before they went to sleep. He confirmed to Arndt that he had read to JonBenét after tucking her in. He would later deny those statements as well.
The parents said that everyone was in bed by ten-thirty because they had to be up early for a flight to Michigan, where they had planned to spend a belated Christmas at their vacation home with Ramseys older children, then go to Florida for a cruise on Disneys Big Red Boat.
Patsy said that JonBenét went to sleep wearing long white underwear and a red turtleneck top.

Patsy also stated in her CNN interview...that I have posted either here...or over at FFJ awhile back...that she was heading downstairs to make coffee when she found the RN. She NEVER mentioned making coffee in any of her other interviews, like with Haney for example.
I remember that too. Patsy was going downstairs to make some coffee and found the note on the stairs.
What a thoughtful intruder -- leaving the note on stairs which Patsy used as opposed to somewhere more prominent. (*sorry, I just came over with a sarcastic episode there*).

Yes, the intruder was quite the "gentleman". He left the note on the spiral staircase for Patsy or John to see, instead of a more logical place like say....JB's bed, the last place her parents supposedly saw her, after he placed the cap back on the sharpie marker, and put it back in its holder. How thoughtful was HE? WOW! If I am ever unlucky enough to have an intruder...I sure hope that mine is as thoughtful.
I agree.
I remember reading these details a while back and immediately was struck with a sense that someone was trying to set up Linda Hoffmann-Pugh. I don't think it was a coincidence that the ransom note was left on the stairs where Linda Hoffmann-Pugh used to leave Patsy's bags. I also don't think it was a coincidence that Burke's knife was left out for display too -- the same knife that Linda Hoffmann-Pugh confiscated and was privy to knowing where it was.
Part of me thinks that perhaps Patsy said she found the note on the stairs as it would inevitably come up about Linda Hoffmann-Pugh.If Patsy wrote the note why specifically say she found it on the stairs -- a detail she included right from the get-go.
They were throwing anybody and everybody under the bus, and didn't care who got ran over. I agree about LHP though. Patsy said in her CNN interview that she ALWAYS used those spiral stairs, to come downstairs with. How would an intruder KNOW that?? What if there really had of been an intruder...and Patsy had of used the other set of stairs....then what???
