Posted by jameson on Oct-02-01 at 03:12 PM (EST)
If the Ramseys were guilty, I expect they would have said to me that they would like the discussion to stop so that the investigators could work quietly... but that is not what happened.
If the Ramseys are innocent, as I believe they are, I still would understand how they would want to be allowed to grieve in private, to get back some kind of private life. I think it is honorable of them to put themselves second to the search for justice.
I received a new tip today - I am just starting to look into it and it will mean taking some time away from the house, studying some files.... Is it the answer? I don't know. But I do expect to follow the lead a bit. We never know when someone might come forward with the answer.

I spoke to this person and they want to share a file with me. They are not in this state but will be traveling and I will make a short trip to pick up the file. I will look at it and decide then what to do with it.
This person didn't get my name from the book or the net but from someone related to law enforcement. Maybe that person just doesn't want his name on the file - we all saw the letters that were sent out when Ainsworth and DeMuth spoke out - so maybe the person just needs someone involved who doesn't have to worry about paybacks later. I don't know - - don't know if I ever will.
Maybe they figure this person's information may match something else I know about. I don't know. That has happened before - - I have had a simple conversation with someone and found that something they were saying related to something else I knew about a suspect. I won't know until I see the files.
But I think it is important people realize there is always something happening. Always.
(Oh, for the record, this person said they called the BPD and got no call back. So it isn't that they didn't try to get this in before - they tried and failed. Something happened recently to cause them to try again. I don't know if I can help. But I am willing to look at what they have.)

There is another confession on the table now - not really a confession, a "tip". A person claims they are linked supplied the killer with something used in the crime. I am talking about a physical piece of evidence.
True, hoax or delusion? I don't know. Honestly don't know at this point.
I am not at liberty to say more - sorry, I know you understand that I can't - but I will say that the person wants to talk to authorities and told someone else they would be willing to take a polygraph.
I am checking this out a bit more before I decide if I want to get involved - the person is asking me to act as a liaison to the BPD. Some things about the story don't feel right - but I am going to listen to the person. If they convince me their story COULD be true, I will call Chief Beckner and ask to talk. I will not send him anything I think impossible. He knows and appreciates that.

Posted by jameson on Oct-06-01 at 08:32 AM (EST)
I would welcome anyone to carry this handwriting sample to other forums for discussion. I have not sent it to the handwwriting people on-line who have worked on Ramsey stuff - but please feel free to do that - I would love to see what they say.
I am willing to swear that this was written at my request in a public place - the person was copying from a typed page and was NOT looking at a copy of the ransom note.
The person is ready and willing to speak to authorities - willing to take a polygraph - came through me for personal reasons and I am handling this in what I think is the best way.
A copy has been sent to Chief Beckner, the CBI and a couple others. I wouldn't do this unless I had reason to think this person might know something.
(For those wondering, the person says they were not part of what happened in the house on Christmas night - they say the note was written before the murder. You all know that is not what I think happened. Just thought I would throw that out there. Might make it a little less hard for some to understand why this person would come forward now.
Actually this person has tried to talk to other people but ... so now they have come to me.
I don't know if this is the answer at all - but I have been shown enough to be convinced a real investigator should interview this person, a real handwriting analyst should take controlled samples to study and authorities should check out historic ones as well.
So there it is.

I was asked to call this person - it took me a while to do that - I questioned a few things she said. She traveled to my state to meet me- gave me a handwriting sample and some other information... convinced me that the BPD should visit her, interview her. Look at what I have seen and talk to some other people...
I have sent the sample to Beckner and the CBI and posted it here so everyone can see it. Hopefully the BPD will speak to her, find out if the tip is real or not.

Posted by jameson on Oct-11-01 at 09:15 AM (EST)
Chief Beckner has been made aware of this person but he has not been given a real briefing on the situation.
There is a package in the mail to him - a video tape, a few papers that could be important and the name and phone number of the person who says she wrote the note. In all fairness to him, I expect he won't be able to start on this until next week. If he contacts the girl, I expect I will hear about it. Then I expect a wall of silence....
Good investigations are NOT done publicly.
Part of me is sorry I went on the forums with this tip - I haven't with others and really had to think about this one. All I can tell you is - I did have my reasons.

Posted by jameson on Dec-22-01 at 06:47 PM (EST)
She doesn't claim she killed Jonbenét. She says she and a friend composed that ransom note as part of a fantasy writing project. The writing was hers. She claims she and the friend parted company, the friend retained the "ransom note".
She believes the friend, or a friend of that friend, used the note in this crime.
She has shown me evidence of criminal behavior on the part of these "friends".
(SNIP)
Then Nancy came to NC from another state to talk to me. She seemed very sincere, the writing is similar, she showed me what low-lifes her friends were (criminal types, oh, yeah) and...
hello, all she wants is for the cops to interview her, She is wiling to take a polygraph. I don't see why they aren't checking it out. At least run her name, and the name of her friends, through the system.

Nancy said she physically wrote the note some months before the murder and that the girl she was writing with had possession of the note.
She asked the BPD to interview her, polygraph her, and they have not contacted her.
She says she has contacted her local police and FBI offices and they say the case belongs to the BPD and they will do nothing.
I sent this sample in to Beckner - he will not speak to Nancy.

Posted by No7ThirdPlace on Jan-27-02 at 05:26 PM (EST)
"Many of you on Jameson's forum know me as Nancy. The S.B.T.C.stands for SO BE THE CAUSE. In the original note the ending was S.B.T.C. to Victory. The person that I'll call the Sick Brain wanted the ending changed to Victory S.B.T.C..The Sick Brain got it's way.I know that I and my handwriting was used by this person.The sick brain dictated the note.I wrote the note. The note was suppose to be a part of a book titled The Perfect Murder.As far as I know and can remember the whole note came from The Sick Brain except for the S.B.T.C..The Sick Brain told me that the note needed some letters to go with the Victory and told me to think up something. So, I will tell you all that no one knows not even the CrimeWriter of why i came up with So Be The Cause.Now you know what S.B.T.C. stands for,but not why I chose those words. I know there are those of of you here that do not believe my story and that is your right. The story will never change because it is the truth and it is the way I lived it.My only worry is when all the pieces are being put together will all the people involved be treated as the Ramseys'GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT? I am sure I'm not the only one that was used."

Nancy believes they smuggled the pad and pen INTO the house. They would have had to have done that some time before the murder so Patsy had a chance to write on the pad.

Posted by jameson on Jan-28-02 at 09:36 AM (EST)
I believe the Ramsey investigators are aware of her - I can't speak for them but I would think they have the same problems with her story that I have. Some of the same problems I am sure the the BPD has with it.
She says she wrote the note - - she said the friend had possession of it. She says HER note turned up in the Ramsey house. Along with the pad it was torn from - and that pad had been in the Ramsey house for some time because it had Patsy's handwriting on it.
That would work if the friend was LHP - would have known what kind of pad was in the Ramsey house, could have taken one, or taken pages from it and returned it...
But Nancy isn't in Colorado and neither is her friend. So just how does THAT work?
Nancy is pointing at her friend but the note was written months before the murder - - that note could have left her friend's possession. Maybe a friend of that friend took the note.
See the problems?
Nancy didn't come forward for over 4 years - that is a problem. Why? She said she didn't watch TV or anything - - just read the book in 2001 - - but most people would find it hard to think she totally missed that news story, missed that a John Ramsey had his daughter killed, then happened to read the Ramsey book and recognize the note.
The handwriting? Is it hers or did she take 4 years to learn the handwriting? I sure don't know.
She called me asking me to set up a meeting with the BPD - she wants to take a polygraph. If she passed they could go checking on her friend - check and see if she was in Colorado, maybe - - - or get a search warrant and go to her house looking for evidence - - that is something the Ramsey investigators can't do.
The fact that she traveled a LONG way to see me in person, the handwriting, that influenced me enough so that I sent this in to Beckner last Fall. That was done. If he won't act on it, there's nothing I can do. If he DOES act on it, I won't know unless Nancy finds out and tells me.
Like I said - I have some problems with the story - but I don't understand why Beckner doesn't do the minimum here - check on her history, have her interviewed and then make an educated decision on where to go from there.
I did all I am willing to do here. Nancy is an adult and running her own program here. But I am not going to be pushed into a position I don't want to be in. I personally have problems with her story - she knows that because we have discussed it. But I do think Beckner should at least have someone talk to her, check the handwriting, get historical samples. That's his job.

BraveHeart post # 33 - my sentiments exactly. How can anyone say why bother when so much is at stake here. No rock should be left unturned. I find it very hard to believe that TR's investigators would just push this under the carpet and say why bother. If infact something pans out from all of this and the results are challanged by the authorities then so be it. At least it is something.
I can't believe that "Nancy" contacted both the BPD and the FBI without someone at least giving her a chance to tell her story and have her and her ex-friends investigated. I find it very hard to believe that the FBI would do that.
More questions for Nancy
1. Could you please tell me how long before JonBenets murder did you write the note?
2. Everytime you refer to the person you call the "sick brain" you never mention a gender. Is this person a male or female?
3. Where you in Boulder?
4. What coast do you live on?
5. How many people were involved in JB's death?
6. Was the "sick brain" hired by someone in the Ramsey's circle of friends to do this?
7. Do you either directly or indirectly know anyone affiliated with the Ramsey family?
Thank you for your time.

There are many reason too lenghty to go into at this time. Here are three reasons. I wrote the note several times. It is my handwriting.I tried to get Sick Brain to change some of the words, such as attache'to briefcase.$118,000.00 to $1,000,000.00. By the way I did not use an accent mark on the word attache' in the note. I discovered the note was use when I read DOI.

The BPD may not be able to get a warrant, either, or do anything with the evidence even if they obtained it.
No. 00SA85, People v. Randolph.
Fourth Amendment--Search and Seizure--Search Warrants--Sufficiency of Affidavit--Good Faith Exception to the Exclusionary Rule.
In this interlocutory appeal, the Supreme Court affirms a district court's order suppressing seized evidence on the grounds that the warrant was facially deficient. Based on information gained from a government informant, police officers prepared a search warrant and a supporting affidavit seeking to search the defendant's property for evidence of narcotics activity. The affidavit and the warrant covered multiple buildings on the defendant's property, without specifying criminal activity in a particular building or alleging criminal activity in all of the buildings. The Supreme Court concludes that the warrant was not valid. The affidavit supporting the warrant was a "bare bones" affidavit that did not contain enough information to provide the magistrate who signed the warrant with a substantial basis to conclude that probable cause existed to believe that evidence of criminal activity would be found on the defendant's property. The affidavit did not suggest that the informant who provided the information had any personal basis of knowledge of criminal activity, and the police did not corroborate the informant's allegations. Further, the affidavit did not specify which buildings on the defendant's property likely contained evidence of criminal activity. Because the affidavit and the search warrant lacked sufficient particularity, the warrant was defective. Furthermore, the Supreme Court rejects the argument that the evidence is nonetheless admissible under the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule. In this case, the Court finds that the affidavit was so facially deficient that no officer would reasonably have relied on the warrant. Therefore, the trial court's order to suppress is affirmed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
Apparently, to translate the above into Ramsey-relevant terms, Nancy (as government informant) would have to be able to provide the BPD with "enough information to provide the magistrate who signed the warrant with a substantial basis to conclude that probable cause existed to believe that evidence of criminal activity would be found on the defendant's property." Suspicion and vague proof that one is associating with low-lifes is not enough.

"Surely if Nancy passed a polygraph and handwriting analysis they could check out the house of the person she last saw in possession of that note."
..................................................................................................
Passing polygraphs is not sufficient cause to issue a warrant. Handwriting analysis is not sufficient cause to issue a warrant. Providing probable cause that a person has actual physical evidence connected to a crime scene is sufficient cause to issue a warrant. At best, Nancy's words might lead to a warrant on her own house being issued, but even that is the remotest of possibilities. The warrant in connection with McElroy was to find evidence that may have been present at JonBenet's death in the form of boots or weaponry or writing elements. Nancy is not making a claim that she or any of her possessions were present. She is not claiming special personal knowledge that her acquaintances were physically present at the crime scene and she can prove it to police and a judge by helping them find physical evidence if a warrant is issued. Until she can come up with something substantial, her involvement is exactly the sort of thing Bryan Morgan referred to in John Ramsey's deposition in the Miles case:
MR. MORGAN: We have spent a lot of time and effort and energy trying to develop leads that we thought were useful. A lot of junk comes in over the transom, and it's junk.

After the story came out I did speak to him and tell him a few more details. But that was after the story was hitting the stands.

Well, Nancy called them again and this time a detective did return her call. Questioned her, she said, for a while. Nancy felt he did not want to be there. Tried to get to to say some things she simply ws NOT going to say and told her she was being a "smart ass". I have spoken to her in several moods, I have never seen her as a "smart ass".
He was entitled to his opinion but I was surprised to hear he had actually called her a name.
I later got a call from another woman - Barbara. She is a friend of Nancy and she called to tell me the detective had called her to ask her just how insane Nancy was. She told me that she said Nancy was perfectly sane and HE said ... well, she reports he called her a "butthole". I said "Butthole? You mean asshole?" She said no, he told her she was a "butthole".
So while I can report that they have decided to do some follow up, I somehow suspect their heart isn't in it.
I will leave you to your own thoughts.

She also sent me home with audio and video tapes. I have since returned them to her but I did put together a tape that I felt.... well, I thought the BPD needed to see certain things and I made a tape from her tapes and sent it to Captain Beckner.
Today it seemed Detective Wickman had no knowledge of that tape, hadn't read the Globe story. But now he has had a chance to read the article and he has been informed that somewhere in the BPD, there is a tape.

Quote:The Globe, February 19, 2002, "I Wrote Ransom Note," Mystery Woman's Shocking Confession
"A mystery woman has made startling claims that she wrote the notorious ransom note discovered in JonBenet Ramsey's home just hours before the pageant princess's body was discovered - and experts say her handwriting is eerily similar to that found in the chilling letter."
"Identified only as "Nancy", (---) contacted a friend (---) and Patsy Ramsey that she wrote the (--) before the (--) as part of a book called "Perfect Murder."
(--) the instructions (--) author, she penned the letter and only recognized it as her work when copies of the note were released months after the murder." Although police are discounting the potential blockbuster evidence, an expert asked by Globe says...its deserves investigation.
"There are a lot of eerie similarities here," notes Linda Collins James, a member of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, who has examined documents for both the FBI and US Department of Justice." She tells GLOBE "There's just too much to just brush this person aside without looking deeper. If I were working on this case, I would ask...for handwriting samples."
Investigators believe whoever penned the ransom note was involved in the murder... Now Nancy's claims could further cloud the issue, says the source. The woman's story was brought to light by Sue Bennett, a confidante of the Ramsey family, who repeatedly expresses her belief in their innocence on an Internet website she runs.
Despite the confession, other experts reach a different conclusion. Noted document examiner, Larry Ziegler, who has also worked with the FBI, recently declared "I know who the writer of the ransom note is. Patsy Ramsey is the writer of the ransom note."

I have problems with her story but I know enough about the suspect to say she has a criminal mind and a certain home movie I have viewed of the woman clearly shows she is capable of this. She doesn't mind handling a dead body and loves to be the center of attention.

On January 16, 2006 a poster known as "Candy" who normally posts at the Cybersleuths Forum starts a new thread on http://www.webbsleuths.com forum titled, "ST in LE training session." Of course Candy starts the thread to attack Steve Thomas but that’s another story. By posting #87 on that thread, and four days later, a poster under the name of "Evening2" posts, "I live in Baldwin County, Alabama" and the same day this Nancy, now under the name of "I KNOW" appears out of nowhere and posts that she lives in Walker County, Alabama and she supplies a telephone booth phone number and TELLS "Evening2" to call her at a specified time because she needs to talk to him/her.
And so the story continues.......

Just wanted the board to know that I called the number provided by I Know at the appointed time today, and it was answered by a person, not a fax machine nor a Viagra ad. We had a phone conversation followed by a face-to-face. I Know wants to locate a specific person. Both this person and I Know have specific knowledge of the crime, which, according to I Know, had its genesis far away from Colorado and many months prior to December 1996. I Know has been to the police without success.
I will provide details to Jameson, but no further here without permission.

I posted here thinking that I might get some help from a poster in my general location. I gave Mint Julip the name of an individual that I am trying to locate, that possibly has evidence. I need help in finding this person.
As far as the handwriting, I seem to recall that some of the so called handwriting experts tried to make a case against Patsy Ramsey based on her handwriting. Didn't you Mr. Foster? When did handwriting analysis become an exact science?
I know it seems that I have an attitude, and I guess I do to an extent. I have been to Colorado and spoke with Lou Smit & spoke with Mr. Wickman via phone. Twice, I've traveled to Hickory, N.C. and spoke with Sue Bennett. I have as well spoken with my local authorities and a neighboring county authority. I went to Birmingham, Al. to speak with the FBI. No one wants take the info and use it to investigate.
I told Mint Julip that am willing to go under sodium pentothal to proof to everone that I am telling the truth.
Thank you Mint Julip for your time and trust and hope that you have taken me seroius.

Ashley don't let anyone sway you from your theory of the suspect. There was suppose to be a role play of the previous brain storming of the so called perfect murder book, Christmas of 1995, in Colorado. Where did the Ramsey's go Christmas evening of 1995, for dinner? The role play , without my knowledge, which became a crime, was planned to go down the previous Christmas, 1995.. I suppose when I bowed out on helping with the book it was called off. The note pad was given to me 14 to 16 months before the crime was committed. I'm sure the note pad, sharpie pen and ransom note was left in the house the night of the crime. The ransom note was kept in an empty paper towel tube.
No, I've never lived in Colorado. I've lived in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. I went to Colorado a few years ago when I visited Lou Smit.
Yes, Ashley, we all learned to print the Alphabet the same way, then our charater sort of slips in over time. I will explain later to someone in authority about the ransom note configeration. I will tell you that I was used and I'm sure there are others that were used in the commission of this crime and probably other crimes.

Yes, I saw the comparison of my letters to that of the ransome note and it brought back thoughts of the circumstances surrounding the time I copied the note from the master copy.
I wish that the authorities could have the insight that you have, and if so, the case would be solved. I penned, not authored, the whole note that was left in the Ramsey's house.
I put the note in a paper towel tube and gave it to the women that authored the note. I have no idea how she stored nor how she transported the note. The woman that authoried the note and the women I'm trying to find are two different individuals. I also believe that the lady I am trying to find was manipulated just as I was. She has important information about the tape, cord, flashlight, and billard balls.
This lady that authored the note was an acquantences to someone close to the Ramseys. I told you who in my reply to Ashley.
As far as being on any form of medication, the only kind I was taking was Pepcid. But at the time of copying the note, I did have three wine coolers in my system. I was also angry at that time becasue the lady that authored the note was persistant that I get the finished note to her.
The author women is familar with LE tactics and countermeasures by inserting herself into murder and kidnapping cases.
Evidence to connect:
I have a phone bill with a Golden, Colorado phone number on it that she made.
I have a two ceramic items that she painted for me, using a paint brush that she would incorporate with knots into the pull cords on her window blinds. Maybe the authorities can take paint samples from the ceramics to see if they match the brush-end they found in Patsy's tote. The high tech boots where probably purchased at Peabody Coal Company in Wyoming. Many more things but too numerous to mention.
Thank you for your help and for asking all these questions. Just wish that Bolder Police Dept. would have given me the same courtsey.

Post 49 "Rainsong"
She would be in her late 60's at this time.
I don't know. I thought the brainstorming and note was for her book.
IMO, she is capable. She was so into the Carrie Smith Lawson kidnapping at that time and made many comments that she was better than the Jasper police, FBI and profilers. She also said that she could commit a murder and get away with it. IMO, she has, so far.
Post 43 "Evening 2"
I heard the day it was released throught the national news media, December 26, 1996. A customer came into the store where I worked and said something to me about it.
In 1995, I told her that my reason for forming a relationsip with her was not to help write a book but to help Dave and Harriet Smith find the people responsible for the kidnapping of their daughter, Carrie Smith Lawson. When I handed her the ranson note that was intended to be for her book, I told her that I did not want anything else to do with the book because her energy changed from helping to find Carrie Smith Lawson to creating her fiction kidnapping, murder book. I wanted my energy to be used in something helpful.
She told me that the next book would be about Carrie. Either book has never materialized, nor the books that she prompted other individuals to help her write regarding the corruption in Walker County,Jasper,Alabama.
