TT: And they were already to go? You said you carried down to (inaudible).
PR: Yeah.

(0279-09) TRIP DeMUTH: What did you take? I mean the suitcases were on top of the bed. Where did you get those suitcases from, where were they stored? PATSY RAMSEY: Oh, where were they stored? Usually up in the bin in my dressing room, those open shelves, they would be right there. You know, I would work from them to pack on the bed.

(0279-18) TRIP DeMUTH: Did you keep anything underneath that bed? My wife stores things under our bed. PATSY RAMSEY: No, I don't have anything under there. Get them out of the way sometimes. Could have been anything under there. I don't know. THOMAS HANEY: This dust ruffle? PATSY RAMSEY: Well, it's not hanging very straight right there. You know, it should be falling a little more smoothly. (INAUDIBLE.) THOMAS HANEY: What did you say? PATSY RAMSEY: I say I am wondering if somebody was under that bed. That was -- THOMAS HANEY: Did you go under that bed for anything when you were packing? PATSY RAMSEY: No. I can't remember. I mean, I never had a habit of putting things under that bed. Because it was -- it sat low, kind of low board, you couldn't get much under there.

John Ramsey (6/98)

Arndt and John in JARs room 12/26/96

Clothes on chair, backpack, red thing

John said dust ruffle was a bit unusual

(0501-21) JOHN RAMSEY: We did when we sat down with Linda Arndt, she wanted to, you know, kind of get out of the crowd, she would sit down and tell me what to do when the call came, so we went into John Andrew's room.

(0502-01) LOU SMIT: Did you look closets and things in that room? JOHN RAMSEY: Not that I remember.LOU SMIT: I am going to show you a picture of John Andrew's room and it's picture 29. That's this picture right here and your head might be in the way there. Picture 29. And what it is, you tell me which room that is, and see if you can make any observations of that room and then I will touch on something a little bit later. This was taken during the kidnapping phase.

(0502-14) JOHN RAMSEY: It's John Andrew's room. There are some clothes piled on the chair, which isn't unusual. Maybe it's a backpack. Some red thing with a black and white looks like it might be one of JonBenet's outfits. Clothes stacked. LOU SMIT: Do you remember looking under the bed? JOHN RAMSEY: (Shaking head).

(0502-23) LOU SMIT: Take a look at the ruffle on the bed. JOHN RAMSEY: It's disturbed. And I didn't look under the bed. It's pulled out. LOU SMIT: Is that something that would be usual or unusual? JOHN RAMSEY: Well, it may be a bit unusual. That room didn't get used much and the cleaning ladies would clean it and make it neat and Patsy used it to fold laundry, on top of the bed, but it didn't get used. So you know, somebody would have straightened that out when they cleaned the room, I am sure. It's a little unusual I would say.

Video tapes in cabinet, and on floor

(0383-05) THOMAS HANEY: 31. PATSY RAMSEY: We had run a videotape out there. I wonder why those are out there. (INAUDIBLE.) TRIP DeMUTH: Do you keep videotapes in that room? PATSY RAMSEY: There was some videos in this cabinet here, mostly ones that were older, you know, that the kids used more when they were really young, with Barney and those kind of things. I don't know why those would be on the floor. TRIP DeMUTH: Were you going to take videos with you to Charlevoix or to the Big Red Boat for any reason? PATSY RAMSEY: No. I mean, we may have wanted to take some to Charlevoix, but typically the ones that the kids had watched, you know, more currently, would be in their room.

(0283-25) THOMAS HANEY: Okay. Other than the videos, anything unusual in picture 31? PATSY RAMSEY: No. See, this is -- this is the suitcase I was packing and this is on the bed. TRIP DeMUTH: Yes.

(0284-23) THOMAS HANEY: What's normally stored in those? PATSY RAMSEY: Well, that's usually where I kept my supplies for my -- when I was taking chemo, when I had my shots and my little alcohol wipes, thermometers, and all that of stuff. And I could have been looking through, looking for a thermometer to take on vacation. TRIP DeMUTH: What's in the draw below that one? There are two drawers open?

John Ramsey (6/98)

Rope found in John Andrew's Bedroom

(0534-20) LOU SMIT: John Andrew's bedroom, did you ever recall any rope or cord being in his room? JOHN RAMSEY: Gee, it's possible, John Andrew loved the outdoors, he was there, I stayed in that room. I know he had seems like he had his backpack there for a while. So it wouldn't be -- I don't remember seeing any, but it wouldn't be --

(0535-16) LOU SMIT: But he could have had things there in his backpack? JOHN RAMSEY: It wouldn't have been out of the question. LOU SMIT: Just for the camera, the photographs we are looking at is photo 113, 114, 115 and 116. - (0535-24) BRYAN MORGAN: May I ask just one question. Can you tell us if this is the form in which it was originally found? LOU SMIT: No, that's the bag it was put in for evidence. BRYAN MORGAN: So the paper bag is just in evidence. LOU SMIT: Evidence bag. And again that was just found in the room, and it was found in a bag in her room, that's all I can tell you at this time.

Paper Bag (police bag)

(0519-07) TOM HANEY: Next we have photos that are numbered 113. PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-huh (yes). TOM HANEY: Which is a paper bag. PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-huh (yes). TOM HANEY: And then 114 is the contents of that. TRIP DeMUTH: The paper bag is a police bag and this came out of here. PATSY RAMSEY: Oh, this was in here? TRIP DeMUTH: Correct? PATSY RAMSEY: Oh. TRIP DeMUTH: And there's another picture of that same item in 115 and 116. Why don't you look those over at your leisure. PATSY RAMSEY: I don't recognize it, specifically.

Rope (contents of paper bag)

(0520-01) TOM HANEY: Okay. And that, that particular piece of rope, do you ever remember seeing anything like it around? And if you look at photo 115, you notice the -- PATSY RAMSEY: Right. TOM HANEY: -- ends are unusually secured. PATSY RAMSEY: Right. No. TOM HANEY: Can you think of any reason to have that kind of rope around? PATSY RAMSEY: I've just never seen ends like that, done like that. John had some, you know, boat ropes and things up at the lake, but it seems like when they cut those, they kind of melt the ends of them or something to keep them from fraying or something. I've never seen one done like that.

John Ramsey (6/98)

Bag or something hanging on JonBenet's door

(0782-02) LOU SMIT: (Handing next sheet of photographs). Now we are getting into the -- I'd like to direct your attention to 115. What does that show you on that now? JOHN RAMSEY: Well, it's a door with a bag or something hanging on it. I guess it looks like it's probably the backside of that door. LOU SMIT: Which is JonBenet's room? JOHN RAMSEY: JonBenet's room door. LOU SMIT: Is that something that she would normally do, is hang a bag on it or could it be normal or -- JOHN RAMSEY: It could be normal. It's possible, yeah. This then is still kind of unusual.

June 1998 John Ramsey Interrogation by Lou Smit and Mike Kane (John Andrews Bedroom)

0149
22 JOHN RAMSEY: Well I remember when Detective
23 Arndt came in, the uniform guy was trying to keep
24 everybody in the back room here and, then there
25 were a lot of people in there. There were

0150
1 detectives there and they had their quarters set
2 up. They had cell phones. We were back in here, I
3 know, for a little while. And Arndt was down the
4 hall (INAUDIBLE) in the study.
5 So then she took me up to his bedroom and we sat
6 in this room and talked about it.
7 LOU SMIT: That's called the guest bedroom?
8 JOHN RAMSEY: Yeah. Well we call it John Henry's
9 room.
10 LOU SMIT: John Henry's room.
11 JOHN RAMSEY: Right. She had kind of methodically
12 went through; look here's what we have to do: when
13 this person calls you've got to insist that you
14 talk to JonBenet and stall for time. And I said
15 why, and (INAUDIBLE) got everything. Tell him it's
16 a hard job to raise that much money and use the
17 time. But you must talk to JonBenet.
18 So she was just coaching me on what to say, and
19 then we were just waiting for the phone to ring.
20 Mostly, as I recalled, I kind of waited in this
21 room, cause the phone was here. Which was the one
22 that I think I answered. And it rang several times
23 (INAUDIBLE) hang up. When I answered it, it was
24 hung up. But most of the time it was --
