Welcome to the Christmas Special episode. 13 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.959 I wanted to do something exciting for all the listeners, 14 00:01:21.040 --> 00:02:00.359 and here we are. Merry Christmas everyone. 15 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.879 All right, it's. 16 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.879 Christmas Day and I got a little present for you. 17 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.360 It's time to reopen a case, a very specific case. 18 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.240 In my previous solo investigation of this case, I presented 19 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.759 to you a theory, my thesis, if you will, and 20 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:32.599 my research regarding a little girl known as Jambonet Ramsey. Today, 21 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.960 I want to revisit this topic, but I also want 22 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.039 to thank all the dedicated listeners of my show as 23 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.319 the Little Miss Christmas Ritual episode was ranked the number 24 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.080 one most listened to episode of Cosmic Peach podcast for 25 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:57.560 twenty twenty three. The reason this is so absolutely important 26 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.879 to me is because out of all the episodes, all 27 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.000 the guest appearances, and all the swapcasts, the most listened 28 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.439 to episode is a solo episode with only myself and 29 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:10.960 the microphone. 30 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.080 That is how I. 31 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.599 Started this podcast, and that is what I'm most fucking 32 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.280 proud of. Yes, it is tremendously exhausting putting the research 33 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.599 together for these types of episodes, but it is even 34 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.280 more tremendously worth it when I see such a positive response. 35 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.120 So today is a thank you for supporting my research 36 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.759 and this show. I will reopen this Christmas case and 37 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.919 bring you the cosmic fire once again as we recap 38 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.879 and discover the dark occult nature of this murder. 39 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:48.759 So let us begin. 40 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.319 This refresh is not going to be exactly like the 41 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.800 last installment, because we covered a fuck ton of ground 42 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.840 in the first one and there's no need beating a 43 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.280 dead horse. I'm not going to argue about whether or 44 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.960 not Juambinet Ramsey is a real person or not, so 45 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:16.000 on so forth, because I believe I've done enough pontificating 46 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.040 in the first episode. I do want to recap some 47 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.639 of the basic info, but I also want to bring 48 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.879 to light new information. But here's how we're gonna start it. 49 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:37.399 Let's take a journey back in time. It's Boulder, Colorado, 50 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:46.279 December the twenty fifth, nineteen ninety six, Jambonet Ramsey. As 51 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.759 I stated previously, in death, she looked more like the 52 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.959 six year old child she was, more than she ever 53 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:59.639 had in life. Her lifeless body was found laying on 54 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.120 the basement floor, wrapped in a blanket. A strip of 55 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.319 duct tape covered her mouth. Her right wrist raised above 56 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.879 her head, was loosely bound with a length of cord. 57 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.920 The same type of cord was wrapped around her neck 58 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:22.360 with a broken paintbrush handle taken from the mother's art 59 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:30.720 supplies and fashioned into a makeshift garrout. Two investigators her 60 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.399 bindings looked staged. Jean Benet was dressed in a sweatshirt 61 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:41.680 that covered a long sleeved undershirt. White pajama bottoms covered 62 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.319 her white panties, which an autopsy report later revealed were 63 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:52.240 stained with blood. Inspection with a black light indicated that 64 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.759 there was semen on both of Jambonnet's thighs, but the 65 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.560 medical examiner would make no mention of this. 66 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.600 In his official report. 67 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.120 To some investigators, it looked as though she had been 68 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:14.279 redressed after her death. Jean Benet had been sexually abused, 69 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.160 severely beaten about the head, causing a massive skull fracture, 70 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.319 and then strangled to death. Rigor mortis had fully set in, 71 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.519 and police on the scene reported the smell of decomposition. 72 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.199 She had undigested food in her stomach and small intestined 73 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.199 identified as pieces of pineapple. On the palm of her 74 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.000 left hand was drawn a small red heart. Around her 75 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.160 neck was a chain bearing a crucifix. On her wrist 76 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.560 was a bracelet engraved on one side was her name, 77 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.600 John Beney Ramsey, and on the other the perrobable date 78 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.879 of her death, December the twenty fifth, nineteen ninety six. 79 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:08.079 Now here we go. We're recapping the previous evening before 80 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.720 the body is discovered. John Benet had attended a party 81 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:19.040 at the home of family friends with her parents, John 82 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:26.519 and Patsy, and her brother Burke the Ramsey family. Here's 83 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.759 the timeline. Now, returned home from this Christmas party at 84 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:37.519 the family friends at approximately nine thirty p m, by 85 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:42.839 which time John Beney had fallen asleep. She was carried 86 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:48.759 inside and put to bed, allegedly lasting alive around ten PM. 87 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.000 Patsy Ramsey claims that she woke up the next morning 88 00:07:54.360 --> 00:08:00.519 sometime after five am and headed down the back stairs, 89 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:06.160 which were generally only used by those who were familiar 90 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:11.480 with the house, where she found this ransom note that 91 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.519 she read over and then entered John Binney's room to 92 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:21.360 find that she was missing. She places a frantic nine 93 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.519 to one one call at five point fifty two a m. 94 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.519 And it was later realized that the little brother Burke 95 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.039 Ramsey's voice could be heard on the recording of that call, 96 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.879 although John and Patsy steadfastly maintained that Burke was not 97 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.879 yet up from bed when the call was placed. That 98 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.360 is the version of events that Patsy Ramsey has long 99 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:51.480 held onto by her official account. However, as we discussed 100 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.279 in the first installment of Little Miss Christmas Ritual, it 101 00:08:55.399 --> 00:09:00.919 is steaming horseshit and we all know it's but let's 102 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:08.799 continue on. Boulder police arrive at the Ramsey home seven 103 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:14.440 minutes after the call. Patsy's hysterical John is pacing around. 104 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.039 And of course this was the second time in just 105 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.759 three days that a nine to one to one call 106 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.360 had been placed from the Ramsey home. The first was 107 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.799 on the night of December the twenty third, during a 108 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.120 party attended by an estimated one hundred guests to the 109 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:40.840 Ramsey's home drawn from the elite of Boulder Society. And 110 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.960 of course the guest list for that party has never 111 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.120 been made public, nor has the reason for the first 112 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.919 nine to one one call, But I will let you 113 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.840 use your imagination. So the first officers to arrive at 114 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.799 the Ramsey's home were presented with the ransom note, which 115 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.519 was two in an half handwritten pages of bizarre ass 116 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.879 ramblings that were with hell from the press and the 117 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:11.639 public for nine months, and happened to be written in 118 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.879 Passey's hand. But we will get to that. The notes 119 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.240 author demanded a ransom of exactly one hundred and eighteen 120 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.240 thousand dollars in cash, which happened to be the exact 121 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.320 amount of the Christmas bonus that John had just received. Coincidence, 122 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:34.039 I'm sure. They claimed that they represented a small foreign faction, 123 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.039 and they warned that if their demands were not met, 124 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:43.120 jam Benet would be decapitated. Ooh, the suspense is killing me. 125 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.919 The Ramseys were also instructed to expect a telephone call 126 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.679 that very morning between eight and ten am, but that call, 127 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:56.759 of course, never came. Something I did not do last 128 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.399 time was read you the ransom note, which I really 129 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.759 should have done, because it puts it into perspective. Not 130 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.320 only does it match writing samples of Patsy's hand, it's 131 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.399 written in the tone and context of the author not 132 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.200 only being a female. 133 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.919 But also a mother. I picked this clue. 134 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.720 Up from a private investigator who has studied the ransom 135 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.080 note at length, and it is astonishingly accurate in this analysis. 136 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.000 So let me now read you the ransom note and 137 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.840 you can decide for yourself if this is a male 138 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.039 or female, more specifically a mother. 139 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.679 Here goes. 140 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:44.279 Mister Ramsey. Listen carefully. We are a group of individuals 141 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:49.039 that represent a small foreign faction. We respect your business, 142 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.639 but not the country that it serves. At this time, 143 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.480 we have your daughter in our possession. She is safe 144 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.000 and unharmed, and if you want to see her in 145 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:03.759 nineteen nineties U seven, you must follow our instructions to 146 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.480 the letter. You will withdraw one hundred and eighteen thousand 147 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:12.000 dollars from your account. One hundred thousand will be one 148 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.720 hundred dollars bills and the remaining eighteen thousand and twenty 149 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.080 dollar bills. 150 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.600 Make sure that you bring. 151 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:24.639 An adequate size attache to the bank. When you get home, 152 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.679 you will put the money in a brown paper bag. 153 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.840 I will call you between eight and ten am tomorrow 154 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:37.039 to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting, 155 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.000 so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor 156 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.440 you getting the money early, we might call you early 157 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.360 to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence 158 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:54.559 an earlier pickup of your daughter. Any deviation of my 159 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.159 instructions will result in the immediate execution of your daughter. 160 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.639 You will also be denied her remains for a proper burial. 161 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.960 The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly 162 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.399 like you, so I advise you not to provoke them. 163 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.279 Speaking to anyone about your situation such as police, FBI, etc. 164 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.279 Will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch 165 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.799 you talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you 166 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.320 alert authorities, she dies. If the money is in any 167 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.600 way marked or tampered with, she dies, you will be 168 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.960 scanned for electronic devices and if any are found she dies. 169 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.399 You can try to deceive us, but be warned, we 170 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:50.360 are familiar with law enforcement countermeasures and tactics. You stand 171 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.080 a ninety nine percent chance of killing your daughter if 172 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.600 you try to outsmart us. Follow our instructions and you 173 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.240 stand a one hundred percent chance of getting her back. 174 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.480 You and your family are under constant scrutiny as well 175 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.480 as the authorities. Don't try to grow a brain, John, 176 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.759 You are not the only fat cat around, so don't 177 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:19.120 think that killing will be difficult.

First off, they just 194 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:21.559 leisurely sat around and wrote this handwritten ransom note in 195 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.840 the living room of the Ramseys home right after they've 196 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:26.919 abducted the girl. 197 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.960 Okay, and so let's take a look. 198 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:35.639 Mister Ramsey.

You must 202 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:53.679 follow our instructions. Okay, another example of a mother talking 203 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.240 to a child. Here's another one that caught me. Make 204 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.120 sure that you bring an adequate size eye attache to 205 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:06.720 the bank. Make sure you do the dishes when you 206 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.679 get home from work. Make sure you bring an adequate 207 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:18.200 size attache to the bank. This is a mother writing this, 208 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.799 and who the fuck uses the word attache. 209 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.759 Let's proceed. 210 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.279 When you get home, you will put the money in 211 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.240 a brown paper bag. Who do you know who talks 212 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.919 like this other than someone giving instructions to a kid, 213 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.639 someone who's used to being listened to as an adult 214 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.080 parent type figure. Make sure you bring an adequate size 215 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.039 attache when you get home. You will put the money 216 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.879 in a brown bag and then reassuring at the same time, 217 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.240 as also a parent would do. I will call you 218 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.919 between eight and ten tomorrow to instruct you. 219 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:01.679 I advise you be rested. 220 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:08.119 What kind of kidnapper is this?

Listen carefully, must follow the instructions. Did Jean 224 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.640 Benet Ramsey get abducted by a fucking third grade school teacher? 225 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.759 I'm sorry, was Jean Benet Ramsey abducted by my sixth 226 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:41.200 grade lit teacher? Come on, this again is a blaring 227 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.559 red flag that this is not just some idiot who 228 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.240 wanted to elicit money from the family. This is an 229 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.839 inside job. Let's go on in the ransom note the 230 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.160 two gentlemen watching. 231 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:01.319 Over your daughter. Let's stop right there, the two gentlemen. 232 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:06.640 Watching over your daughter. We're already halfway through this ransom note. 233 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.599 This is page two. 234 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:12.920 Still all the punctuation and all the eyes are dotted, 235 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.519 and the teeth are crossed, and we're making sure that 236 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:22.400 I before E, step after see and everything looks good. 237 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:27.400 The two gentlemen watching over your daughter, okay, that we 238 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:34.279 just abducted k. They don't particularly like you, so I 239 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:42.759 advise you not to provoke them. It's beyond belief that 240 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.119 the ramses it's really not actually because we're gonna get 241 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:51.039 into it. But they've pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. 242 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.599 It doesn't even take someone who has extensive training and 243 00:18:55.799 --> 00:19:00.279 background and forensic files and unsolved mysteries to see that 244 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:05.200 no man wrote this note. No man wrote this note. 245 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:14.599 Doesn't particularly like you. It feels like mean girls. Regina 246 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.799 George abducted Jean Benet. 247 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:19.359 Let's go on. 248 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:25.759 If we catch you talking to a stray dog, she dies. 249 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.680 If we catch you putting your dirty socks under your 250 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.359 bed one more time, your asses grassed. This is a 251 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:42.119 mom talking. If we catch you. 252 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.160 You better be rested. 253 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:49.359 Listen, carefully follow instructions. So it goes on to say 254 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.400 at the end, you stand a ninety nine percent chance 255 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.759 of killing your daughter if you try to outsmart us. 256 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.759 Follow our instructions, and you stand a one hundred percent 257 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:04.000 chance of getting her back. Don't try to grow a brain, John, 258 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:13.000 You fucking dildo. Don't underestimate us either, John, use that 259 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:18.839 good old Southern common sense of yours. John. It's up 260 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:26.480 to you now, Joan. All right, Patsy, you did it, 261 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:31.799 you former beauty queen. You you pulled off a brilliant performance 262 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:37.480 of a kidnapper. This isn't a Miss America pageant. You're 263 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.559 trying to convince someone that you are a kidnapper who 264 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:45.079 just subducted a little six year old beauty queen, and 265 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.079 you're trying to elicit money from a wealthy family and 266 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:54.200 you're sitting here trying to It's basically like a burn note. 267 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.799 You fucking fat bit you. John. 268 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.920 Don't you dare try to act like you didn't hurt 269 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.160 my feelings. That's why we stole your daughter. We're gonna 270 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.400 be mean to her, and we don't like you, John. 271 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.759 So listen up, bring a good sized bag to the bank, 272 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.279 load it with the cash, and drop it. When I say. 273 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.680 That's what this sounds like. 274 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.559 I don't know why I really should have, But I 275 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.160 don't know why I didn't read this ransom note to 276 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.480 you in the last installment, because. 277 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.559 To me, it's a smoking gun. In this case. 278 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:40.720 Patsy herself wrote this note, and for reasons that have 279 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.079 never been adequately explained, the investigation was compromised from the 280 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:50.160 very beginning. Officers inexplicably failed to secure the crime scene, 281 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.759 allowing the families, pastor, and a number of friends to 282 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.880 come and go freely from the home. No effort was 283 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:04.559 made to prevent containment nation of any potential evidence. Detectives 284 00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:08.960 didn't even arrive to the crime scene until eight ten am, 285 00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:13.640 over two hours after the first patrol officers arrived. It 286 00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.720 took another twelve hours for the coroner to arrive, and 287 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.079 once he got there, he spent ten minutes looking at 288 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.799 Jean Benet in the crime scene and then loaded her 289 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:28.039 up and hauled her off. And now, to put things 290 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:34.000 into perspective here, at around ten am, the detectives allowed 291 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.640 John Ramsey to leave the house, as I had stated 292 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:41.000 in the previous episode, for over an hour, supposedly running 293 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.799 at errands. Had to pick up some dry cleaning, check 294 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.880 the mail, make sure they got the sharp marks out 295 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:53.480 of his underpants at the dry cleaners, you name it, 296 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.880 stop by the porn store, drop off a few VHS 297 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.839 rentals to Blockbuster, you name it. He's just got to 298 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.920 run some errands, and. 299 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.839 Why he had. 300 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.160 Such a sense of urgency at a time of family 301 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:17.440 crisis is so fucking obvious to me. Why also, did 302 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:20.880 he choose to go alone when he had friends and 303 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.279 family who were there to possibly accompany him, but no, 304 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:28.400 he fucks off on his own for over well over 305 00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:32.319 an hour and says he's got to run errands while 306 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.440 they're looking for his daughter. 307 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:35.000 Okay. 308 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.519 One of the most grievous and baffling errors, though committed 309 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.279 by the detectives, besides just letting people come and go 310 00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:44.359 freely from the home and then letting John out of 311 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.680 their site for well over an hour, is their failure 312 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.720 to separate the Ramses for questioning. Even though detectives had 313 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.920 Patsy alone for over an hour well John was dropping 314 00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.279 off tapes at the fucking Blockbuster, no one apparently thought 315 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.079 to question her. And just as baffling is the fact 316 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.039 that there was no initial search of the house by 317 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.960 either the family or the police. When a detective on 318 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:16.400 the scene finally suggested around one o'clock in the afternoon 319 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.039 that it might be a good idea to search the house, 320 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:23.599 it had been nearly eight hours since the family first 321 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:28.880 discovered John Benay was missing. Seven hours since police arrived 322 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:32.480 on the scene, and five hours since detectives have arrived, 323 00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.480 and yet no one had the thought to search the home. 324 00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:43.720 Are we really supposed to believe that after finding this 325 00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:48.799 ransom note, the family immediately accepted that their beloved little 326 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.960 Christmas princess had been taken from the house and there 327 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.079 was no reason at all to search for her. What 328 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.640 parent would not search their home repeatedly in the desperate 329 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.839 hope that somehow something had been overlooked during an earlier search. 330 00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.920 I would be like Sherlock mother fucking homes in that 331 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:16.440 bitch dustin for fingerprints everything. As previously mentioned in the 332 00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:20.480 first installment, when it finally occurred to police that it 333 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:24.000 might be a good idea to search the fucking crime scene, 334 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:29.599 they assigned that task to the prime suspect, John Ramsey. 335 00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.000 In joining John was his good friend we met before, 336 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:39.599 Fleet White, the oil company executive who had hosted the 337 00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:45.160 party the Ramses attended the previous evening, and who the 338 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:50.480 Ramses placed a call to. Immediately after placing the call 339 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:56.240 to nine to one one, No, Biggie, I guess let's 340 00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:01.200 not look into Fleet White or that situation at all. Anyways, 341 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.079 Ramsey and White were tasked with searching the crime scene 342 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:12.720 and quickly headed to the basement, where they almost immediately 343 00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:18.920 found Jean Benet's body, not only demonstrating that no effort 344 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.799 had previously been made to look for John Benet in 345 00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:26.759 the basement, but the amount of ease in which they 346 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:32.279 found her and the ridiculousness of not having found her 347 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:39.279 prior to this. Let me tell you what I imagine happened. Okay, 348 00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:44.839 let's let's say I'm Fleet White right now. Hey, Uh, 349 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.599 let's let's go ahead and search the house. Oh okay, yeah, 350 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.359 me and John, Yeah, let's go. Oh we're supposed to 351 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:57.240 start searching now. Damn, I legit have a luncheon at three. 352 00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.680 Damn. Well, let's let's make this short. 353 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.759 Okay, come on, John, Let's go to the basement. Clippity, cloppity, 354 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:10.359 We're walking down the stags. Okay, now, we're looking. We're looking. 355 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.160 We're lock and we're looking. We're looking. Let's flip this 356 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:17.400 bucket over. Ah, no decapitated body in there. Uh. Let's 357 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.599 throw some clothes out of this clothes basket all over 358 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:26.720 the floor. Move some socks around. Ooh, nobody in here. Okay, 359 00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.720 now we're gonna look in this corner over here, near 360 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.119 the open window with the glass busted out and the 361 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:39.720 small child shaped mask underneath the blanket. Holy titty fuck, 362 00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:49.279 there she is. John Oh, come on White later claimed 363 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.079 that he had checked the basement earlier and saw nothing 364 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:57.319 out of the ordinary. His exact words, and you know why, 365 00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.960 because let's just say, the small child body under the 366 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:10.039 blanket wasn't obvious. The window they claim the murderer came 367 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.359 through had actually been broken for some time, y'all. And 368 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:20.599 there was fucking cobby webbs all over the broken glass. 369 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.279 So yeah, that wouldn't be out of the ordinary since 370 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:34.319 the window's been busted since nineteen ninety two. Anyways, John 371 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:39.200 Ramsey rushes over, picks up his lifeless daughter and removes 372 00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:43.519 the tape from her mouth, according to him. Strangely, though, 373 00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.960 the autopsy report later made no mention of tape residue 374 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.799 around John Benet's mouth, But John insists he removes duct 375 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.359 tape from John Benet's mouth. 376 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.240 But uh yeah, then he cared. 377 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.839 Read her upstairs and laid her on the floor. Patsy 378 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:09.599 Ramsey collapses at the vision of her daughter in the state, 379 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:16.319 and a detective then moved the corpse and covered it 380 00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:21.119 with a blanket. So this all happened within moments, not 381 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.160 an hour, not over the course of a few hours. 382 00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:28.400 In moments, this happened, So within the space of just 383 00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:32.039 a few minutes, some of the most crucial evidence in 384 00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:35.240 the case was hopelessly contaminated. 385 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.400 There was a lady. 386 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.920 Her name is Anne Louise Bardac. She wrote for Vanity Fair. 387 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:46.119 She quoted one of the officer's recollections actually of this 388 00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:51.440 situation and to John and Patsy's reaction to the discovery 389 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:56.160 of Jean Benat's body, and it says, quote what was 390 00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.720 interesting was when John brought the body upsid stairs, he 391 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.880 never cried, but when he laid her down, he started 392 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:08.480 to moan while peering around to see who was looking 393 00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:13.319 end quote. Patsy, he said, quote peered at him through 394 00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:18.960 splayed fingers in quote, while making sobbing sounds. The officer 395 00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.160 described being haunted by the manner in which Patsy kept 396 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.839 staring at him. He also noted that he never saw 397 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.480 either of the Ramseys attempt to comfort or console each other. 398 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:42.000 That is again a smoking gun, smoking gun in this case. 399 00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:49.200 So the glaring inconsistencies of finding both a ransom note 400 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:55.160 and the body of the purported kidnapping victim, coupled with 401 00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:59.440
