Former Boulder detective Steve Thomas with his book “JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation”
Spending 20 months investigating JonBenét’s murder detective Steve Thomas resigned in August 1998. He wrote about his experience of working on the case and his interpretation of the evidence. Steve Thomas believes that Patsy Ramsey is responsible for the death of her daughter and in his book he theorizes it could have been corporal punishment due to bed wetting.
He writes that at the end of a long Christmas day, Patsey angrily snatches off the girl’s red turtleneck top and slams her against the edge of the tub.
A panic-stricken she makes the fatal decision to stage a fake kidnapping instead of calling for help. Then the accident becomes a murder when the author says Ramsey chokes the unconscious child to death.
“The first word of what had happened came at 5:52am on the morning after Christmas Day, when Patsy Ramsey dialed the 911 emergency number.”
Page 15: “The telephone call gave us a cornerstone of evidence, not so much for what was easily heard but for what was found when experts washed out the background noise. It has been my experience as a police officer that such emergency calls are virtually unchallengeable. They are tape-recored, and either something was said or it was not. Tapes can be so powerful that prosecutors regularly play them so a jury can hear the actual voices and emotions of the participants.
In preliminary examinations, detectives thought they could hear some more words being spoken between the time Patsy Ramsey said, “Hurry, hurry, hurry” and when the call was terminated. However, the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service could not lift anything from the background noise on the tape. As a final effort several months later, we contacted the electronic wizards at the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles and asked them to try and decipher the sounds behind the noise.
Their work produced a startling conclusion. Patsy apparently had trouble hanging up the telephone, and before it rested on the cradle she was heard to moan, “Help me, Jesus, Help me, Jesus.” Her husband was heard to bark, “We’re not talking to you.” And in the background was a young-sounding voice: “What did you find?” It was JonBenet’s brother, Burke.
The Ramseys would repeatedly tell us that their son did not wake up at any point throughout the night of the crime. We knew differently.”
