I think the big mistake was putting JonBenét into the windowless room in the basement and then locking it with the wooden bar above the door. One policeman took one look at that lock at the top and left it alone. It is difficult for me to think the Ramseys thought they would ever be left alone?. Not very well planned out. Patsy wasted too much time writing the ransom note.
What a strange situation. Linda Arndt is the one whose clothes are taken in a plastic bag, while the Ramseys are free to go to the Fernies' and stay there.
The police were not in charge of this scene at all! Unbelievable!
You are right Learnin! Linda Arndt gave John the chance to set the wheels in motion to find JonBenét.elle: The RST can't handle the truth!
Just my opinion.

Elle, your post #34 re. the video set up through out the house gave me a jolt when I first read it too. My comment to myself was 'HOW SNEAKY!' it was stated that "Ramsey attorneys and their team of investigators took responsibility for placing the recorders but no one ever admitted to activating the recorder before the investigators arrived on the scene that day." And that further they had to be set manually and that was done. Now that is sneaky. For what purpose and what if anything was found on the tapes? Who knows? And WHO WAS WATCHING WHO? (or is it whom). Where are those tapes now? and how long were they in the house or even better when actually did they get put in? And for exactly what purpose? No one ever said. It was the next day and already there were cameras placed everywhere? Why? It was important enough that Kolar mentioned it. And it was the first we had ever heard of it, and the last too.

I'd like to know which rooms the four spy cams were in.

Wasn't this a great discovery for the detectives, zoomama?. The Ramsey Team thought they were being smart recording everything which was being said by the cops. I'm so glad these detectives had sharp eyes noticing the thin wires under the basement stairs. This sent the Ramsey team a message! I'm glad they kicked in that door!

I don't think Kolar says which rooms, Elle--but I'd be interested as to which rooms the Ramseys wanted monitored. Since the PI's were hired to bolster the R's defense, I'll bet they wanted those cameras in places where the "action" took place--as in the night of the murder.
The Ramseys, IMO, wanted to know if the detectives were "getting warm."
Remember, the Ramsey's hired PI's the day after the murder, and the first person they tried to talk to was Fleet White, who, at the time, wasn't a suspect. The Ramseys, obviously, were trying to get their stories straight rather than find any killer.

If it had been my kid murdered, I'd have those PI's checking on the people I supposedly thought killed her--not my best friend. Ergo, the Ramsey's had a different motive for hiring those PI's.

JR had no friends, at least none he wasn't willing to throw under the bus in order to save his own lizard skin. I think they had to know what Fleet knew - what he believed about the whole kidnap/murder thing. Maybe they wanted to know what it would cost them to make him shut up. Or maybe they wanted Fleet to understand how miserable his life was going to be if he decided to cooperate with the BPD investigation.
Did White talk to them with a lawyer present? Or did he talk to them at all?"We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be." - C.S. Lewis

This is actually old news; Steve Thomas went into it in some detail:
A group of our Dream Team attorneys and detectives walked into an ambush during a visit to the Fifteenth Street Ramsey home, after receiving permission and being let in by a Realtor. As they spent two hours going from room to room, discussing how the case facts fit with the geographic layout of the house, Team Ramsey was secretly videotaping our moves.
Police discovered four tiny cameras hidden inside motion detectors and followed the wires to a videotape recorder and monitor locked in a basement closet. The cameras covered the basement, JonBenét’s bedroom, and part of the main floor—precisely the areas where our team had stopped and talked about the case. A tape was retrieved showing our team on the site.
The videotape recorder did not record continuously but required a physical act to switch it on. Someone had activated it only an hour and fifteen minutes before our people arrived.
The covert surveillance could have been a crime if a listening device had also been found. I was willing to bet there was a miniaturized bug planted in there somewhere, but FBI technicians said they would be unable to find it without tearing the house apart. Beckner declared it a crime scene, had the locks changed, and seized all the video equipment as evidence.
The Ramsey lawyers and private investigators later admitted that the video equipment belonged to them and claimed it was installed because of concerns about trespassing. If that were true, why didn’t they tell us before, and why did they have the cameras running? I didn’t believe them, but although the incident screamed for a thorough investigation, it went away, just like Computergate.

It has been years since I read Steve Thomas' book cynic, and I no longer have it on hand. It just jumped out at me in Kolar's book.
