John Ramsey says police portrayed him and Patsy as guilty of JonBenét’s murder
John Ramsey has spoken out in an exclusive interview about police portraying him and his late wife Patsy as guilty of the murder of their daughter JonBenét. RadarOnline.com.
The grieving father revealed the ‘clueless’ officers threw the blame in their direction after they felt the couple did not act ‘right’.
John says the police decided “the first day before any evidence” and “any information” on what he and Patsy could blame because they “didn’t do the right thing.”
“The district attorney told us years later that ‘their whole case was that you didn’t do the right thing that morning.’ Between the time we found out JonBenét was missing and found her,” he said Radar.
John noted that investigators “made a decision on day one” and decided they “needed to arrest him for probable cause.”
When asked for details about what he meant when they said they weren’t “doing the right thing,” John elaborated on what he thinks they meant.
“I read the so-called detective who was there that morning… I read her report… and she made comments that could be misinterpreted,” he explained. “For example, she said John was casually going through the mail while we waited for the phone call [from the alleged kidnapper].
“Well, I was checking the mail stacked outside our door to see if there were any other messages from the kidnapper. That’s what I was doing. She should have done that.’
John also noted that when it was 10am, the time the alleged kidnapper was supposed to call him, the fact that he was not behaving in a certain way did not sit well with the police.
“[The cop] said, “Oh, ten o’clock came and went, and John didn’t go crazy.” It was 10 a.m. when the note said, “We’ll call you tomorrow at 10 a.m.” Well, I didn’t know if tomorrow was the day we were going to arrive, or literally tomorrow,” John recalled.
John continued, “Since we didn’t get a call at 10 o’clock today, I thought, my God, I had to wait until 10 o’clock tomorrow. It’s going to be awful. But because I didn’t hit my head on the wall and jump up and down and scream at 10 o’clock that day. She thought I was acting strange.”
“She had no idea,” John said. “She later went on national television and said, ‘I knew John was guilty because I saw in his eyes.’ I thought, ‘Wow, what a talent that is.'”
John stated that he felt the police were in “way, way over their heads.”
“The fact that they didn’t accept help when they desperately needed it was just a total failure of leadership,” he added. “And so that mentality stuck in that department for about 25 years until they cleaned house.”
If Radar has John reportedly recently spoke out to discuss “new evidence” that he hopes will solve the case of who killed his daughter once and for all.
“Chief Redfearn told us, I don’t know, in September we met with him and that he had submitted evidence for additional DNA testing,” John explained on NewsNation’s Banfield“He didn’t say what the evidence was, but that it was being resubmitted, or perhaps new.”
While he claimed that they “don’t know” whether it’s “new” or “things that have been tested before,” he explained that they are “advocating that if some evidence taken from the crime scene was never sampled, it should be the most important, which is the [unintelligible] that was used to strangle my daughter.”
He also called the latest development “encouraging” and later added that he is “more optimistic” than he has been in a long time.
JonBenét was murdered on December 26, 1996, and the identity of her killer remains a mystery to this day.
