7
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.320
Good Morning, tru seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
8
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.759
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
9
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.840
Today we're going to continue on with the John Vne
10
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:07.319
Ramsey evidence. We were working actually on a statement analysis
11
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.400
last week where we were talking about or discussing an
12
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.280
individual's analysis of the statements that were made in that
13
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.760
ransom note. Let me see if I can collect his
14
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.120
name again real quick, Mark McLish. So, we had ended
15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:28.680
out basically with a couple pages left to go over,
16
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.079
in which case he's breaking down the linguistics of the
17
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.560
ransom note. Of course, in this presentation he's attempting to
18
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.359
show how it is Pansy Ramsey that wrote this note. However,
19
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.920
the family has been cleared from any wrongdoing in this case,
20
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.640
well at least from actively having murdered their own daughter.
21
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.519
This was actually done? When did I say? This was done?
22
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.079
Two thousand and one, So this was basically about four
23
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.200
years after the death of John Vnay. And let's see
24
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.280
if we can get ourselves back to yes. Okay, So
25
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.040
and while we wait for Lindsay to come back with us. Oh,
26
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:12.400
here she is. Good morning, Lindsay mcbrear. Oh where is
27
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.199
your You're here, You're here, but I don't hear you.
28
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:23.120
Oh there you are. Ah, good morning morning. I'm exhausted.
29
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.039
I went deep sea fishing, yes, yesterday, and we did
30
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.479
not finish boiling the crabs until about midnight last night.
31
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.080
So I'm barely hanging in there. But We're gonna make
32
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:33.479
it through.
33
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:34.199
Yay.
34
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.680
Oh well, yes, I'm good eating.
35
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.719
Well I didn't get to eat it yet, obviously. That
36
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.960
was all cutting prepping. Yeah, I'm doing all the things
37
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.360
except for eating. But that's okay. My mama made a
38
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.199
great meal for us when we got home, so we
39
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.639
had a hot meal at about nine thirty ten o'clock
40
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:55.919
at night. Ah. Well, we left off at the end
41
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.280
of the statement, analysis and examination of the ransom note,
42
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.599
so I'm just going to pick up where we left
43
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.199
off and if Nolan joins us today, I'm sure one
44
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.400
will pop him in, but I have not talked to
45
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.120
him to know whether or not he's going to be here. Yeah,
46
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.800
all right, so we left off where it was talking
47
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.120
about the kidnapper demanded one hundred and eighteen thousand from
48
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.639
the Ramseys and this is very unusual. Well, of course
49
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.120
it's an unusual amount, but most people would ask for
50
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.879
a much larger amount. There's a reason why the writer
51
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.719
chose one hundred and eighteen. Even John Ramsey agrees that
52
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.360
that the number one eighteen is significant to the killer.
53
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.080
It has been reported that in nineteen ninety six, John
54
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.560
Ramsey received a bonus of one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars,
55
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.000
And he asks, is this a coincidence? When the writer
56
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.280
had to think of a number, one hundred and eighteen
57
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.879
thousand was on his mind? How does that make you feel?
58
00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:01.159
Definitely, excuse me, not on his mind, right, I don't
59
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.960
believe in coincidence. Is for one, and for two, you
60
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.960
don't get like the exact amount just randomly, like there's
61
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:07.560
no way.
62
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.280
Right, And I mean, of course they're they're alluding to
63
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.479
the fact that Ramsey's would have known this number, and
64
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.759
that of course ties them back to this note in
65
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.160
some fashion. But we've seen a lot of inside information
66
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.560
in some of these crimes, and of course this one
67
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.800
is no different. So the knowing of you know, where
68
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.800
her room was, where to take her from the entryway
69
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.120
and exit out of the basement, I mean there was
70
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.160
a lot of inside knowledge obviously if a perpetratory to
71
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.680
come in and done this. And welcome Nolan del Campo
72
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:47.000
to the show. Good morning, everybody, Good morning, good morning.
73
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.439
Just got started back on the John Benne Ramsey statement analysis.
74
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.879
I mean you're talking about one hundred and eighteen thousand,
75
00:04:53.879 --> 00:05:01.439
which was consistent number with this of business.
76
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.759
So the.
77
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.639
Person that is doing the statement analysis says in number six,
78
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.639
in lines thirteen through sixteen, the writer states, if we monitor,
79
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.000
we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery
80
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.399
of the money and hence an an earlier pickup of
81
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.480
your daughter. The word hence is a formal way of saying. Therefore,
82
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.199
the writer starts out the ransom note misspelling words, giving
83
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.759
the appearance he is uneducated. However, his educatational level begins
84
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.680
to show when he uses words such as hence. This
85
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.560
author pretty much says, and I think everybody uses hents
86
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.480
now since this was such a big thing back in
87
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:57.920
nineteen ninety six, I hear a lot of people using hens.
88
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.600
A word.
89
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.519
Are you not used at this week? I probably have.
90
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.600
We should look to see if this word appears in
91
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.199
any writings of Patsy Ramsey. And then they said, well
92
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.759
it does. On December fourteenth of nineteen ninety seven, the
93
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.160
First United Methodist Church in Boulder, Colorado held a memorial
94
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.160
service for John Bennet. In the program, there was a
95
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.439
Christmas message from the Ramsey family. This message was also
96
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.319
posted on the Ramsey family's website. In the message, we
97
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.680
find the statement, had there been no birth of Price,
98
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.360
there would be no hope of eternal life and hence
99
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040
no hope of ever being with our loved ones. Again,
100
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.120
I go back and forth on this because I think
101
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.600
we talked a little bit about hence last week right
102
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.279
where I said that I'll do an examination and where
103
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.600
I've never executed a letter or formation in a certain way.
104
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.199
After studying it, say for three four days, I'll find
105
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.360
myself actually using that particular structure following that examination when
106
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.879
I know I've never used it before or so it's
107
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.240
almost as if it gets ingreened at your head and
108
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.319
becomes part of your arsenal, if you will. And I
109
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.519
would have to say that she probably read this note
110
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.680
a million times, even after you know, John Beney was found,
111
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.480
probably trying to just rationalize what this note was saying.
112
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:25.879
Uh So, yeah, I think that it was just there.
113
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.079
I don't think there's any aspect of that word.
114
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.120
Honestly, what do you mean aspect?
115
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:37.600
I don't think there's anything that uh, I mean, there's
116
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.240
nothing particular to me that seems would be with that word,
117
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.600
because I mean, I use that word, and.
118
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.879
I think that had this been a Christmas greeting from
119
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.759
the year previous to her dying, then that would throw
120
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.519
suspect on them. But since this is a year after
121
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.720
her death and they've read this word hence in this
122
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.560
letter who knows how many times, makes you feel as
123
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.560
though it could just have been. And of course we
124
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:08.160
are also using christ language, right, God language. I don't
125
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.680
know how to say this correctly because I'm just not
126
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:16.079
a Christian. I'm not a religious person spiritual with the earth,
127
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.040
got this, but nope, this religious stuff is really kind
128
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:24.959
of just to be another organized money maker. But I
129
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.399
feel like hence is actually used right in that terminology,
130
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.080
like in the Bible, may or may not have significance, don't.
131
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.679
I don't like Lindsay saying I don't see the importance
132
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.919
of it. Really doesn't really stand out to me. No,
133
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.399
For something that somebody picked out about what she wrote
134
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.000
a year after her daughter had died, that has no
135
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.759
importance to me. Had, like I said, had that been
136
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.279
the message the year before, then we might be talking
137
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.679
about something. But even then, because they are such high
138
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.639
influential people, obviously with John Maney and all the pageants
139
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:04.080
and all followers and these kind of things, even if
140
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.080
they had done it ahead of time, that would have
141
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.960
been something another piece of insight information somebody may have
142
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:15.240
already known about her before writing this note, right Yeah, Well,
143
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.000
he goes on to say, the word hence is a
144
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.600
transition word. You do not have to use the word
145
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.879
and with it. For example, the arcade was closed, hence
146
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.960
I spent my money at the mall. The writer of
147
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.159
the ransom note used the phrase, and hence in their
148
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:34.000
Christmas message, the Ramseys used this same exact phrase. Had
149
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.840
there been no birth of Christ, there would be no
150
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.679
hope of eternal life and hence no hope of ever
151
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.759
being with our loved ones again again. They read this
152
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:49.200
in this note go ahead, Nolan, Oh, that's all right.
153
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.519
I just tried to kick my mom called I get
154
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:59.840
rid of her. Oh, I was like, I also feel
155
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.879
like when we were dealing with the Zodiac that he
156
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:08.039
used a lot of non uh not need. He used
157
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:09.840
a lot of phrases that were not needed. So we
158
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.399
was basically double staying and doubling down on things and
159
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.559
statements in his own messages. So this is no different
160
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.519
to me. And like using the word rather and you know,
161
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:25.360
these these pretentious words that aren't necessary in the sentence
162
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.919
because the sentence works without it, And we seen a
163
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.200
lot of that in the Zodiac, so this wasn't too
164
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.120
far off that mark.
165
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.360
Well, and you don't, I mean, I've never seen anybody
166
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:36.399
use and hands.
167
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.080
Well, that's because they mean the same thing.
168
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.679
Yeah.
169
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.759
And of course, once again we're going back to the
170
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.840
fact that they've read this message about their daughter a
171
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.120
million times. I'm sure.
172
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.840
Yeah, he around somebody all the time and they say
173
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.519
a certain saying like dude, then you're gonna eventually start
174
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.480
saying dude because you've been around them so much. I
175
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.440
mean I've picked it up from my kids.
176
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:08.639
So, right, what was Yeah, there was one that people like, uh, irregardless. Right,
177
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.240
So the people say irregardless when that's not even technically
178
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.919
a word, it's regardless because irregardless pretty much means the
179
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:21.360
same thing regardless, like, and so yeah, I see people
180
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.000
using that, and that's because again, like you just said, lindsay,
181
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.720
they listen to other people say it a lot of times.
182
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.240
And I used to actually say irregardless like way back
183
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.480
in the day, but learned that that was not the
184
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.600
correct way to state that word, and since have removed that.
185
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.399
So now I do get a little chuckle every now
186
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.919
and again when I hear somebody say irregardless, but I
187
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.120
want to correct them. Not my place, you guys, roll
188
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.840
with it. If you haven't learned it yourself, you're not
189
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:55.519
going to learn it from me. As a journalist. I
190
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.679
learned early, long earlier on not to use irregardless.
191
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:04.519
Right, Well, And I was I was a that took
192
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.879
ap English in high school, and I took Advanced English
193
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.320
in college. So I'm like, I'm a writer too, So
194
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.480
I mean, I can't stand it. It draws me.
195
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.320
Notes when somebody says, yeah, I just.
196
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.120
Forget something's not right in the Senate. I'm like, oh
197
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.960
my god, why did they do this? Like that's really
198
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:23.840
the first thing I do.
199
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.519
Mine's editing. So if I read something that's not correctly
200
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:34.279
stated or has misspellings or the use of the incorrect words,
201
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.159
it drives my mind crazy. I can no longer focus
202
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.039
on what I'm supposed to be reading because I get
203
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.919
all caught up in their edits. And then I'm mad
204
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.159
that I'm having to read this with edits, and I'm
205
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.720
I'm done. I don't even want to look at it anymore.
206
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.080
But I'm sure I have plenty of edit issues in
207
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.840
my presentation. I'm sure of it. I've seen many. None
208
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.159
of us are above it. So he goes on to
209
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.639
say the writer started to say that upon receiving the money,
210
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.320
he would delivered John Bennet to her parents. He then
211
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.720
realized that a kidnapped kidnapper would not deliver the hostage,
212
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.440
but would tell the authorities where she can be found.
213
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.120
I thought that was a very interesting point there, because
214
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.399
you're right, the who's going to show up with this
215
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.440
kid in person and take the chances of being arrested yeah,
216
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.759
or is there your I Kennedy revealed at at minimum, Yeah,
217
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.200
what are you even gonna say? I gave her to
218
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.720
a friend like that friend isn't gonna go down until
219
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.200
they cough you up. Come on.
220
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.879
In their Lifetime movies and they're like, Okay, well i'll
221
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.240
drop I'm dropping her off at the fire department.
222
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.159
If you do right, Yeah, you're gonna drop her somewhere
223
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.559
and tell her where she can be found, which is
224
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:49.120
basically what he's saying here. He says, Therefore, it's such
225
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:54.039
a long letter and it's just a rust. Yes, it's
226
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.240
just weird. I think that's what made everybody want to
227
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.720
look at the Ramsays because it was I mean, it's
228
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.879
something you had to sit around and have time to do.
229
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.879
But I feel like that's prime frame in which she
230
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:08.240
discovered the note and called the police. She didn't heed
231
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.440
or pay attention to the note that said do not
232
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.960
contact the police. It's literally what she did do. So
233
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.120
I mean, if you're telling me that she called all
234
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:18.879
of her friends, got all of her friends over there,
235
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.799
and then they all sat around trying to put together
236
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.799
this note to get the Ramsays out of trouble again,
237
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.720
I think you have some issues with that philosophy. It
238
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.639
just doesn't get any water well.
239
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.960
And it's like constantly the person that's writing it is
