OK, Linda says Officer French told me that when he arrived, he met with Patsy Ramsey, Jean Benet's mother. Patsy was very upset and distraught. It was difficult for Officer French to obtain information from her. Officer French also spoke with John Ramsey, Jean Benet's father.

Officer French learned that the Ramsey family had been at a friend's house on the late afternoon and evening of December 25th. Jean Benet and her brother Burke went to bed shortly after the family returned home. John Ramsey had read to JonBenet after she'd gone to bed and before she went to sleep. JonBenet had last been seen wearing a red turtleneck and white long underwear.

Patsy woke up this morning and discovered the suspected ransom note at the bottom of the spiral staircase. Patsy originally thought that the note may have been left by the housekeeper. Officer French has been told that the Ramsey family had been planning to leave early this morning for Michigan. The Ramsey family has a home in Upper Michigan.

I did ask Patsy a few questions and was able to receive some information. The following is information I received from Patsy. Patsy has gotten up on the morning of December 26th, 1996 and had gone downstairs from her bedroom to the kitchen. Patsy used the back, i.e. west stairway.

The back stairway consists of a spiral staircase leading from just outside JonBenet's bedroom to the northwest corner of the first floor of the house. At the bottom of the spiral staircase, Patsy discovered a three-page handwritten note. The note had been written on legal pad-sized paper. Patsy said she originally thought the note might have been left by her housekeeper.

I didn't. I couldn't read the whole thing. I had just gotten up. We were on our... It was the day after Christmas, and we were going to go visiting, and it was quite early in the morning, and I got dressed and was on my way to the kitchen to make some coffee, and we have a back staircase from the bedroom areas, and I always come down that staircase, and I'm usually the first one down.

And the note was lying across the three pages across the run of one of the stair treads. And it was kind of dimly lit. It was just very early in the morning. And I started to read it and it was addressed to John. It said, Mr. Ramsey. And it said, we have your daughter. And I, you know, it just wasn't registering. And I may have gotten through another sentence. I can't. We have your daughter.
