Gene Parker was one of the more interesting characters in the Ramsey sideshow. In December 1997, Parker was hired by Craig Lewis (then at the Globe) to polygraph Diane Hollis (John Ramsey’s secretary) to determine the truthfulness of a story Hollis wanted to sell the Globe.

Hollis’ story was that in January 1997, she had taken a call from “a woman” who wanted to talk to John Ramsey. The “woman” told Hollis that Patsy Ramsey had personally told her that: “Patsy had caught John molesting JonBenet again, that Patsy swung at John but hit JonBenet instead.”

Hollis passed the polygraph exam with an 88% probability that she told the truth. Please keep in mind that the polygraph only verified that Hollis was telling the truth about the fact that a “woman” called her and told her a story. IT DOES NOT VERIFY THE TRUTH OF THE “WOMAN’S” STORY.

I interviewed Parker in early 1998 and he gave me additional details about his examination of Hollis:

1. The “woman” was Pam Paugh. Hollis had originally told the Globe that the “woman” was a secretary in Mike Bynum’s office.
2. Hollis claimed that Pam later corrected her allegation that Patsy had said: “She caught John molesting JonBenet again” to “She caught HIM molesting JonBenet again.
3. Hollis claimed that Pam told her that Patsy had told “him”: “I thought I told you not to do this anymore.” Before she swung and accidentally hit JonBenet.

In 2000, Parker went on Peter Boyles to tell this story and received a nasty letter from LinWad. He contracted Alzheimer’s shortly thereafter and is now unable to communicate.

In cross-checking Parker’s bona fides I found several serious misrepresentations. That is why I have held back posting this. However, the “woman’s” scenario fits the evidence known to the public and IMO deserves additional discussion.
