Who Killed JonBenet? Page #5

---

Not if it's applied directly

to the skin.

He taped her mouth,

wrapped her in her blanket

and carried her downstairs.

( shutter snaps )

When she began to stir

he restrained her

and then did what he wanted.

When she awoke and managed

to rip the tape off and scream,

he struck her with a flashlight

and then panicked,

hid her in the cellar and

fled back out the way he came,

forgetting his ransom note

on the stairs.

Lou, there are thousands

of pages of material.

Hundreds of hours of video,

stacks of photos,

and you came to your conclusion

in 72 hours?

Mmmhmm.

And now I've had time to confirm

and reconfirm it.

In my experience, murders

usually are what they seem.

Rarely are they perfectly

planned.

Nobody's saying

this was planned, Lou.

This was an awful accident.

An outburst.

Something that was covered up

and staged to look like

something else.

Lou, the Heather Dawn Church

case was great.

Everyone thought it was the

family, you said it wasn't,

that was true.

But that's not the blueprint

for every case.

The blueprint for every case

is evidence determining theory.

Not theory determining evidence.

Steve, this is your

first homicide,

but remember, I've done

a lot of these.

You won't find too many people

in this department

agreeing with you, Lou.

Or the FBI or any other agency

who's taken a look at this.

It's not the first time.

Gentlemen.

I want to say something

to the person or persons

that committed this crime.

I mentioned the list

of suspects narrows.

Soon there will be no one

on the list but you.

This is nice.

A university professor saw me

on television and says

he would stake his reputation

that I'm innocent.

John?

I feel like the people

that are supposed to be

protecting JonBent aren't.

That includes the DA.

It's insane to suggest that we

need legal council to deal with

our own District Attorney,

but that's just it.

We don't trust him anymore.

Neither do we.

He's been accused in a national

magazine of being incompetent.

It's been almost a year and

he's done nothing for JonBent.

The lawyers that I've been

speaking with in Denver

have made a suggestion

that could just help us get

a fair hearing

with a Grand Jury,

but I can't do it by myself.

How can we help?

We want you to appoint

a special prosecutor.

To take the case completely

away from Hunter.

And politics and ego,

Governor.

Everyone seems

to have forgotten

that this is about a murdered

six-year-old girl.

Yes, I think they have.

Let me consider it.

Thank you, Governor.

He's not gonna do a thing.

So then what?

We take it to his boss.

The people who elected him.

"We must be mindful

however of the first cause

"of the investigation's failure

"the refusal of John

and Patsy Ramsey

"to cooperate fully

and genuinely."

I thought Fleet and Priscilla

were our friends.

Why would they do this?

That's exactly what everyone's

gonna think when they read it.

So the DA is trying to make

a deal for new interviews

with the Ramseys.

Hallelujah.

Looks like the Whites' letter

might have actually

had some impact.

What?

Chief sent the 911 tape.

To who?

DA or Team Ramsey?

It doesn't matter.

I scream at you.

What the hell is

"I scream at you"?

It's the voice on the 911 tape

that you never told us about.

I gave it to my brother-in-law

at the lab in Los Almos.

It's not John, Patsy or Burke.

It's someone, maybe Larry,

Curly or Moe

on a television somewhere.

"I scream at you".

No, look. It's there, Pete.

A young boy.

"What did you find?" I heard

it with my own ears.

And he heard "I scream at you"

and a Japanese guy's gonna hear

"domo arigato"

and a French man will hear

"parlez-vous Francais".

And you know what John's

lawyers are gonna say?

What?

"I laugh at you".

You should've given me

the tape, Steve.

An entomologist?

Mmmhmm.

About these webs.

Uh, Lou, an intruder would

have destroyed them

and wiped all the dust off

the window sill.

Not so fast.

Oh, sorry.

Are you saying the spider,

uh, spun them back

for a photo op?

That's why we need to talk

to an entomologist.

Oh, for god's sake, Lou.

Uh, is there an outside

chance of that?

Um, I guess.

There is.

Is there an outside chance

that the person killed her

in the basement and then

ran the flashlight upstairs

to the kitchen?

There is.

But forgot the ransom note

on the stairs?

There is.

No. There isn't.

Because an outside chance

of this

and an outside chance of that

and a hundred other

this and thats add up to

an outside chance of

the whole thing.

And there you go again,

detective.

You're letting the cart

lead the horse.

You know what I want to see,

Lou?

Yes. You want to see John Ramsey

hanging by his neck.

No.

Where was the John Ramsey

that lost his first daughter

in a car accident?

He was inconsolable.

Devastated.

Bed-ridden for weeks

over a car accident.

Where was that John Ramsey?

I can't say.

I've never lost two

daughters before.

Let me ask you this.

Where does the garrote fit

into your cart?

Why- why bother with something

so sadistic?

So cruel?

And what about the unknown

male DNA in her underwear?

That is a wild goose chase.

Steve.

Steve.

I've seen this before, Steve.

You're out to prove something.

It's got nothing to do

with this case.

If you guys are finished

in here...

Hunter just got a letter from

Ramsey saying a Grand Jury

won't be necessary

for them to talk.

What a surprise.

Go in front of a Grand Jury

or do an interview?

Tough choice.

JonBent fell asleep in the car.

She walked in slowly, went

up the spiral stairs to bed

with my mom behind her.

She was sound asleep.

Carried her in,

put her in her bed.

Say that the intruder was

someone that JonBent knew,

and they fed her the pineapple.

Priscilla has a jacket just

like that one I was wearing.

She's the type that might have

a stun gun.

My parents thought I was asleep,

but I wasn't.

I was pretending.

You're a Christian?

Will you swear to God

you didn't do this?

I swear to God.

Did your mother and father

prepare you

for this conversation?

No.

What if I told you we had

trace evidence that appears

to link you to the death

of your daughter?

I did not kill my child.

I didn't have a thing to do

with it.

Anyone else?

Your wife?

Swear to God?

I don't give a flying flip

about scientific evidence.

I swear to God.

What if it was an accident?

Somebody legally,

lawfully in the house-

You're going down

the wrong path, buddy.

What about Burke?

Burke Ramsey did not do this.

Ok? He did not do it.

Get off it.

Got anything you'd like

to ask me?

Is that a Rolex?

Are you aware there had been

prior vaginal intrusion

on JonBent?

What?

No I am not.

Prior to the night she

was killed?

I... I am...

I wouldn't know

what you're talking about.

I am... I am shocked.

This was not done by

a family member.

Didn't happen.

Period.

End of statement.

They're not gonna take this
