1 TOM HANEY: Okay.
2 PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-huh (yes). Binoculars, a
3 stapler and... binoculars and a stapler
4 (inaudible).
5 TOM HANEY: Do those items appear to be out
6 of place?
7 PATSY RAMSEY: I mean, I don't know why the
8 binoculars would be there.
9 TRIP DeMUTH: Do you recognize the
10 binoculars?
11 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, they might kind of
12 look like -- they look kind of like one John had
13 on the sailboat which are night vision or
14 something, they were kind of heavy duty, but I
15 don't know for sure. I don't know why they
16 would be in Colorado.
17 He had all this stuff up in, the white
18 stuff up in the -- he had like a storage room of
19 sails and stuff like that. I don't know why
20 they would be here if they are, if that's what
21 those are.
22 We had a pair of binoculars up on the
23 dress -- the high boy up in John Andrew's room,
24 more like in a leather case, like a leather
25 binocular case.

0555
1 TRIP DeMUTH: Uh-huh (yes).
2 PATSY RAMSEY: I think these are sailing
3 because this yellow thing I think makes it float
4 or something a little. John would know if
5 that's what that was.
6 TRIP DeMUTH: But you don't recall those
7 being around the house?
8 PATSY RAMSEY: No, not, I can't
9 (inaudible).

0555
10 TRIP DeMUTH: But they do look like
11 something that you owned at some point or --
12 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, well, he had, you
13 know, all that kind of gear for the sailboat
14 races they had to have a lot of stuff like that
15 and that, I mean, it looks like it might be kind
16 of more sailing equipment than just like bird
17 watching or something, you know.
18 TRIP DeMUTH: Okay. And you think it was
19 night vision stuff?
20 PATSY RAMSEY: I know he had a pair of
21 night vision on the sailboat.
22 TRIP DeMUTH: Is that something that you
23 would have left up there?
24 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah.
25 TRIP DeMUTH: Okay. Now, those are not

0556
1 like regular binoculars, those are --
2 PATSY RAMSEY: Night vision are different.
3 TRIP DeMUTH: Well, yeah, and quite a bit
4 higher up the price range?
5 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah.
6 TRIP DeMUTH: Significantly.
7 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah. I don't even know
8 that that's them, that yellow piece made me
9 think of the sailboats that have yellow.
10 TRIP DeMUTH: Okay. But it looks like a
11 strap?
12 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah.

22 JOHN RAMSEY: Possibly. I don't remember. I'm
23 sure I remember trying to go through to the parts
24 of the house.
25 LOU SMIT: See, that would help us to find out.

0143
1 What floor would you have gone through, I mean how
2 would that have been?
3 JOHN RAMSEY: Well, I think the first thing
4 that perplexed me, was how could they have got in
5 and how could they have got in the house. And he
6 was trying to look for a how come they got in. And
7 then I thought about it later, I don't remember
8 when, I started wondering was anybody watching the
9 house, because the note said they would be
10 watching.
11 So I went up to my bedroom and looked out the
12 window and then I went to Burke's room and looked
13 out the windows with some binoculars and I was
14 looking at cars that were driving by. There was a
15 truck that was parked in the alley across the road
16 that I had never noticed before and I was watching
17 the truck to see if possibly somebody who was --
18 What was going through my mind was, when we lost
19 Beth I was in my office. I got a phone call from
20 my brother and he said Beth is dead. There was
21 nothing I could do about it. I couldn't go an
22 visit her. It was over.
23 With JonBenet, I felt we were going to get her
24 back. And I remember mustering every ounce of
25 mental capacity I had to get her back. And, so

1 despite the fact that I was just going mad out of
2 my mind and my daughter wasn't there, I was trying
3 to muster logic and reason and, (Okay, settle
4 down. Let's get her back.
5 So after that first shock of, she's gone. I was
6 like, okay, what are we going to do. Let's get her
7 back. And so as the morning wore on that was what
8 was driving me. So I was trying to figure out
9 (INAUDIBLE) watching the house. What are we going
10 to do and all those kind of thoughts. And is she
11 in the closet or in the refrigerator or behind the
12 curtain.
13 Just kind of scatterbrain and just took that focus
14 and so --
15 LOU SMIT: You say you used binoculars.
16 Where did you get them from?
17 JOHN RAMSEY: They were from my bedroom,
18 I think. Probably (INAUDIBLE).

(SNIP)

0537
25 LOU SMIT: You had said before that

0538
1 you had gotten some binoculars and things to
2 look out the window. Is it possible you took
3 things out of the drawer, that's just a --
4 JOHN RAMSEY: No, I don't think
5 so, because the binoculars were upstairs in my
6 bedroom. That's where I went to bed.
