Melody Stanton
(738 Fifteenth Street)
(Boulder, Colorado)
On December26, 1996, between 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. she woke from sleep, heard a child's scream that lasted 3 to 5 seconds. Her bedroom was on second floor facing the Ramsey house. She said she woke her husband Luther, knew it was JonBenet but assumed her parents would take care of her. Melody went back to sleep immediately. Luther then heard the sound of metal hitting concrete.
Melody told this to her neighbor, Diane Brumfitt and Diane reported the incident to the police.
Information went quickly to the media and reporters started knocking on the Stanton door. Eventually the Stantons denied knowing anything - - they clearly did not want to be witnesses any longer. Melody suggested the scream may not have been an actual scream but "negative energy". Or maybe she heard it another night. But most believe her first report was the honest one.
In Schiller/Brennan book, page 610 paperback, this was investigated by Officer Barry Hartkopp on 01-03-1997
but her interview wasn't signed or given under oath.
