I am trying to locate the original link to this interview...
THOMAS HANEY: Did you take some photographs of JonBenet in the basement laundry room?
PATSY RAMSEY: No.
TRIP DeMUTH: You had presents in the basement laundry room, right?
PATSY RAMSEY: Right.
TRIP DeMUTH: So you wrapped presents in the basement laundry room, right?
PATSY RAMSEY: Right.
TRIP DeMUTH: So you were down in the basement laundry room pretty often?
PATSY RAMSEY: Depending on what time of year it was, yeah, uh-hum.
TRIP DeMUTH: And do you remember photographs being -- photographs of JonBenet being in there?
PATSY RAMSEY: Taken of her in the laundry room?
TRIP DeMUTH: No, no. Photographs of her located in the laundry room?
PATSY RAMSEY: Oh, in the laundry room, oh. I don't know, there was a bunch of stuff, I mean wrapping stuff and everything. I don't remember any photographs.
TRIP DeMUTH: Is there any reason why there would be photographs of JonBenet located in the laundry room?
PATSY RAMSEY: No. Were there -- I mean, did somebody find them there?
TRIP DeMUTH: If there were, would that be out of place for you?
PATSY RAMSEY: It would seem to be out of place. I kept wrapping materials and sometimes I worked, wrapping station, Christmas paper and --
TRIP DeMUTH: Would -- who else had access to the laundry room, who else would go in there? I know everybody would have access, but who else would use it? Would the boys play in there? Would John go down there?
PATSY RAMSEY: I mean anybody culd, but I mean the boys could come down and go in the train room, we had the train set up. In the far back in through there, you know. Not in the laundry, really, area.
TRIP DeMUTH: Did anybody besides you use that laundry room?
PATSY RAMSEY: Sometimes Linda would wash, if we were washing comforters or something, because those were big heavy-duty laundry machines, she'd take the things in there, rugs and things, and wash them down there.
TRIP DeMUTH: Okay.
THOMAS HANEY: So you don't recall taking a photo of her down there?
PATSY RAMSEY: (Shaking head.)
THOMAS HANEY: If she was doing something really cutesy or something, would you maybe run and get the camera, take one of her?
PATSY RAMSEY: Of her in the laundry room?
THOMAS HANEY: Uh-hum.
PATSY RAMSEY: No.
Still not ringing a bell. I have the search warrant returns somewhere, so I'll look, but we've picked every single thing apart for so many years, I should've remembered this.
Is Karr saying he put some down there, or had some pix of her to use for his fantasy and left them there? OR, took some Polaroids while there? Ewwww.
That was in 1998 when Haney did the interviews in Broomfield. Let's see ... lots of Internet tips could've already come in by then.
Maybe they had the photos and maybe they didn't. If someone were trying to pretend this was a "hit" aimed at John, they would have to bring some photos to ID the intended target for kidnapping.
IF photos were found, that could be part of the staging.
I'm also thinking that Patsy had been down there a lot doing Christmas presents, to keep out of sight of the kids - she may have done other things down there, so as not to disturb the household at night.
I'm thinking she could've been filling out the application for that next pageant - Hawaiian Tropic - or even a later one, and had an array of JonBenet's portfolio composites there to choose the right head shots or others to send along.
Or maybe they were handouts she needed to take upstairs and put with JonBenet's pageant things she was packing. Didn't she make little name tags for some of her costumes, like the Marilyn Monroe one?
Did it have JonBenet's pic on it also? Like, would photos be kept down there with Patsy's art and hobby supplies for things like that? She could've told Haney or Demuth that ... or she could've left it open to speculation, heh.
OK, they found a framed "picture" of JonBenet and a framed picture of Burke and JonBenet as two of the items on the search warrant return.
They appeared in the list before and after the blue suitcase that had been in the train room and the broken window itself from that room. Usually that indicates the vicinity where found and that was in the basement.
I don't know anything about those pix right offhand and I'm just *assuming* pictures means photos, which it might not. They're not the children's drawings; those were listed separately.
Since they're framed, I think it's safe to assume they are photos. I wonder if they were supposed to be Christmas presents she was going to wrap.
