    Fleet & Priscilla White Timeline
    1996
    Background…
    http://bardachreports.com/articles/v_19971000.html
    Missing Innocence: The JonBenet Ramsey Case
    The Ramsey's, with JonBenet and their son, Burke, had Christmas dinner at the home of their best friends, Priscilla and Fleet White Jr., a mile or so away. After Ramsey had moved his computer company from Atlanta, to Boulder, in 1991, the Whites and the Ramsey's found they had much in common. Fleet White was also a successful tycoon, in the oil business. Both couples enjoyed sailing and had six yr. old girls with older brothers. Neither Patsy nor Priscilla worked, but both were committed volunteers. When John Ramsey and decided to throw his wife a surprise 40th birthday party a month earlier, on Nov.30, he turned to Priscilla to organize the event at the swank Brown Palace in Denver.

    According to police reports, the Ramseys arrived home from the Whites' about 10 p.m. At 5:55 A.M. the Whites were awakened by John Ramsey, who told them to hurry right over. By 6:20 the Whites were there, joined by other friends, John and Barbara Fernie, and later by the Ramseys' minister, Father Rol Hoverstock. (Vanity Fair Article 1997)

    Note: While Bardach referred to White as an "successful tycoon", John Ramsey described White's job situation in Death of Innocence, page 294,
    John explains in DOI about how "newspapers would refer to Fleet as an oil magnate. His Father, FW Sr, was reported to have had a natural gas drilling company in California. He may have worked for his dad for a period of time before coming to Colorado, but as far as I know, Fleet did not work at a steady job during the time I knew him in Boulder..."

    December 23
    Fleet and Priscilla attend the Ramsey's Christmas party. Fleet called 911, he claims by mistake, at the Party.
    From the Ramsey Book, Death Of Innocence, page 97: Patsy wrote:
    "During the party Fleet White used our phone to make a series of calls, trying to get some medicine to his mother in a hospital in Aspen, Colorado. Apparently he dialed wrong and got 911. The Police called back, but after checking with Fleet and the rest of the people at the house, Susan Stine informed them that the call was a mistake. The 911 call still remains somewhat of a mystery."

    December 25
    4:30 - 9:00pm The Ramsey's attend Christmas dinner at the Whites. Fleet and John play with jewelry on the floor with JonBenet and Daphne.

    December 26
    6:20am Fleet White arrives at the Ramsey house after a call from the Ramsey's that Jonbenet is missing. DOI, pg 12

    7 a.m.:
    The Ramseys' pastor, Rev. Rol Hoverstock, arrived. John Fernie and Fleet White went to Burke's room and woke him up. They then proceeded to take him to the Fernie's, where they picked up the Fernie's children and then dropped all the children off at the White's.

    1 p.m.:
    Detective Arndt asked John Ramsey, Fleet White, and John Fernie to check the interior of the home. They started in the basement. Fleet White reportedly opened the door to the wine cellar and did not see anything. He did not turn on the light.

    1:05 p.m.
    John Ramsey, JonBenet's father, and Fleet White, a family friend, discover the girl's body in the basement after police recommend they search the home. Police say JonBenet was not stabbed or shot, but won't disclose how she died.

    Evening
    The Ramsey's moved to the Fernies home in South Boulder. Friend Pam Griffin describes White's demeanor that evening:
    Presumed Guilty, author Stephen Singular Page 99-102

    I once asked Griffin if she remembered anything more than what she had already told me about her visit to Patsy on the day after JonBenét's body was discovered. She said that the most visible and forceful person at the Fernies' home that day was not John Ramsey, but Fleet White, John's best friend before the murder.

    "White was everywhere," she told me. "Ordering everyone around. Telling people what to do and not to do. Giving me the creeps. He didn't want me to be alone with Patsy. Didn't want me in the bedroom with her. Didn't want me talking to her as she was falling asleep. He didn't even want me to help her drink water to keep her from getting dehydrated. I was trying to assist my friend and couldn't understand why he was acting this way. Someone finally had to tell him to back off, so he took a hike and disappeared.

    According to Griffin, White behaved similarly at JonBenét's memorial service at St. John's Episcopal Church the following Sunday, Patsy's fortieth birthday."

    Vanity Fair Version
    The family flew to Marietta Georgia, in a private jet, piloted by John Ramsey, for JonBenet's funeral. (It was later reported in DOI that John did not fly his plane to GA, waiting for source) Among those who went there to comfort the Ramseys that first week were Fleet and Priscilla White. Soon, however, questions and doubts began to nag at the Whites.

    Fleet White phoned the Paugh house and said he wanted to come by and speak with John. When the Whites arrived, they were led into the sunroom, where Ramsey, his brother Jeff, and Don Paugh were waiting. According to an insider, Ramsey sat down next to Priscilla and began to pat her arm as if to calm her down as her husband pelted him with questions: "Why do you need all these attorneys? Why aren't you cooperating with the police?" His distress mounting, he declared, "I don't understand what you are doing." Priscilla later told friends that she had told John that going on CNN was a big mistake.

    Nedra would later tell police that White was "a wild man and a lunatic." Ramsey would inform friends that "the worm had turned." According to a D.A. source, Ramsey told his lawyers and the D.A. that he regarded Fleet White, whom he had often identified as his best friend, as a prime suspect in JonBenet's murder.

    In the ensuing weeks, the Ramsey team spread the word that the Whites were not to be trusted. Pam Griffin was among those who carried the message. "This man has a dark side," she told me over the phone. Pressed to explain how Fleet White could have possibly killed JonBenet, she said, "I don't think Fleet White with his two hands murdered that child. I just think he knows something." (The Whites declined to comment for this story.)

    Patsy Ramsey interview with BPD, June 23, 1998 (transcript)
    http://jonbenetramsey.pbwiki.com/Legal Documents
    9 TOM HANEY: In the earlier
    10 interview, and I think it was the one on April
    11 30 last year, the Whites' name came up as
    12 because they were formerly very good friends
    13 that you called that morning, but people that
    14 you were now suspicious of or something about
    15 their behavior.
    16 Could you tell us what about them
    17 has changed and what you have noticed?
    18 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, I guess --
    19 every --
    20 TOM HANEY: Be candid.
    21 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, everything
    22 that -- you know, I mean, everything. Our
    23 relationship was perfectly normal and fine, and
    24 like I said, there are close friends who called
    25 first thing that morning. And it was a very
    1 traumatic morning, obviously, for everyone
    2 there. And people handled things differently,
    3 and I know that -- but, suffice to say that
    4 Fleet and Priscilla, Fleet probably more so,
    5 just on a number of different occasions started
    6 reacting very strangely.
    7 TOM HANEY: Okay. How did he
    8 react?
    9 PATSY RAMSEY: Well --
    10 TOM HANEY: What did he react to.
    11 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, I guess the
    12 first -- let's see. The first time -- I mean,
    13 you know, after we found JonBenet, I mean I was
    14 just in shock and really was -- was not paying
    15 too much attention to things. But the first
    16 time I really realized that something was amiss
    17 was when we were going to go to Atlanta for the
    18 funeral on the Lockheed plane, and there was
    19 some like scuttle, confusion or something, why
    20 Fleet was not going on that plane. I mean our
    21 close friends that had been basically -- you
    22 know, I don't know what they were doing, John
    23 and my girlfriends were bathing me and feeding
    24 me and taking me to the bathroom. I mean I was
    25 just immobile for all intents and purposes.
    0075
    1 And -- and I just remember hearing
    2 something that John Fernie was going to detain
    3 Fleet because he was in no condition to be put
    4 on that plane.
    5 TOM HANEY: No condition due to?
    6 PATSY RAMSEY: He was -- and like I
    7 say, I am kind of like just catching, you know,
    8 wafts of these conversations. But that was my
    9 first recollection. I picked up on something
    10 that Fleet was not acting right. And they were
    11 going to keep him from going on the private
    12 plane back to Atlanta.
    13 So anyway, I didn't want to think
    14 too much about it, and then when we were in
    15 Atlanta, I just sort of remember Priscilla
    16 standing in my mother's living room, family
    17 room, you know, just kind of like this and
    18 saying, "well, I know what's going on" and she
    19 said, "if you would give me a few minutes of
    20 your time, I could let you in on some things."
    21 And I turned to her and I said,
    22 "Priscilla, how can you know so much?" And I
    23 said, "I am the mother of this child. And I
    24 know nothing."
    25 TOM HANEY: What was she referring
    0076
    1 to?
    2 PATSY RAMSEY: I don't have a clue.
    3 I really, I mean, you know, so many times I wish
    4 I would have taken her up on it to see what the
    5 hell she was talking about. There was just her
    6 -- you know, it was just this kind of, I know
    7 what's going on here and you don't. And if you
    8 give me a few minutes of your time, I could clue
    9 you in.
    10 TOM HANEY: But she didn't give you
    11 a clue or--
    12 PATSY RAMSEY: Didn't say, didn't
    13 say. So that was like the second little thing.
    14 So then, let's see. We were at --
    15 we were at my parents, and we had different
    16 friends who had come in from Colorado and my
    17 friends in Atlanta were putting them up in homes
    18 and what not, and my understanding is that Fleet
    19 and Priscilla had been invited by my brother and
    20 sister-in-law Jeff Ramsey to stay in their home.
    21 So I was in bed, and somebody,
    22 either my sister, or another friend who was
    23 staying there or something, said that Jeff had
    24 just called to my parents' home, and said that
    25 Fleet was totally off the deep end, had like
    0077
    1 gotten my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law
    2 is -- you think my husband is docile, my
    3 brother-in-law is, you know, very docile. Non-
    4 confrontational. So Fleet got hold of Jeff's
    5 collar, you know, like this, in his face, you
    6 know, being very confrontational.
    7 TOM HANEY: Is built --
    8 PATSY RAMSEY: Sorry?
    9 TOM HANEY: Is Fleet a pretty good
    10 size?
    11 PATSY RAMSEY: Yes, he's a large
    12 man. And anyway, Jeff had called and said to my
    13 dad, they are on their way to your house. Do
    14 you have a gun? And I mean for Jeff Ramsey to
    15 say something like this in pretty wild. So I
    16 just remember, you know, somebody scooping me up
    17 and Burke up and my mom and all this and we went
    18 downstairs to our basement where my mother had
    19 set up some temporary beds and then like, you
    20 know, like thrown on the beds, like "don't
    21 anybody say anything" and you know, John and my
    22 dad were going to try to calm them down or
    23 something. You know. Just --
    24 TOM HANEY: Okay. What do you mean
    25 again, what did--
    0078
    1 PATSY RAMSEY: I don't know, Jeff
    2 was saying that Fleet is just crazy. He is
    3 crazy, he is coming over there, I don't know
    4 what's happened. You know, he's off his rocker.
    5 TOM HANEY: Did he give you a clue
    6 though? I mean here your good friends--
    7 PATSY RAMSEY: See, I don't know,
    8 because I wasn't -- wasn't having this --
    9 TOM HANEY: The conversation?
    10 PATSY RAMSEY: I am like hearing
    11 this thirdhand.
    12 TOM HANEY: Okay.
    13 PATSY RAMSEY: All I know is there
    14 was like some big hubbub here about Fleet and
    15 Priscilla were going nutso and they were coming
    16 over and somebody just crazy, he is crazy, he is
    17 coming over there, I don't know what's happened.
    18 You know, he's off his rocker.
    19 TOM HANEY: Did he give you a clue
    20 though? I mean here your good friend's--
    21 PATSY RAMSEY: See, I don't know
    22 because I wasn't, I wasn't having this
    23 conversation.
    24 TOM HANEY: The conversation?
    25 PATSY RAMSEY: I am like hearing
    0079
    1 this thirdhand.
    2 TOM HANEY: Okay.
    3 PATSY RAMSEY: All I know is this
    4 was like some big hubbub here about Fleet and
    5 Priscilla are going nutso and they are coming
    6 over and everybody is afraid of them and
    7 da-de-da-de-da.
    8 TOM HANEY: So do they come over?
    9 PATSY RAMSEY: They came over. I
    10 do not see them, but John I think called down or
    11 something, Jeff Ramsey said he did not want them
    12 staying with them. I think John Ramsey and my
    13 dad somehow got them to stay in a hotel or
    14 something. There in Montreux (phonetic).
    15 Then my dad said, you know, I don't
    16 know what day this was, all these days were
    17 running together. But then my father said that
    18 Priscilla called, I guess they were on their way
    19 back to Colorado, she called, my dad had just
    20 reamed him out, said that she didn't like what
    21 she saw in Atlanta one bit. She thought that
    22 everything -- that all our friends were, you
    23 know, hoity-toity, rich snobs and blah, blah,
    24 blah. I mean, just like crazy things.
    25 I mean, you know, here we are
    0080
    1 mourning the death of this child, for crying out
    2 loud, and she goes off on this cultural
    3 ventilation or something. You know, it just
    4 didn't, it didn't make sense. And then so I
    5 mean my dad -- (INAUDIBLE) -- so way that was
    6 kind of a little incident.
    7 TOM HANEY: Makes sense.
    8 PATSY RAMSEY: And then so I mean
    9 my dad is one (INAUDIBLE) so anyway, that was
    10 kind of a little incident. But I think some
    11 other things happened that I wasn't really privy
    12 to. I think John may be more aware of.
    13 But then the other time that was
    14 really frightening to me is, we had come back to
    15 Colorado and John and I were in Father Rol's
    16 office, in the church, and my dad was sitting
    17 out in the little waiting area. And Father Rol
    18 and John and I were praying, and Fleet White
    19 burst into the door, burst into the office.
    20 And he is just, his eyes are just
    21 wild. And you know, I kind of did this number,
    22 and he got down on his knees, and looked like --
    23 and had a business card in his hand, and he was
    24 leaning over to my husband saying, "you know
    25 what this is, John, you know what this means,
    0081
    1 John, you know what I am going to have to do
    2 with this, John, I am going to have to handle
    3 this my way, John."
    4 I mean he was just on and on and
    5 on. And I said, "Fleet, Fleet, what is it?"
    6 And he handed me this business card
    7 and it was a business card from some journalist
    8 or something, and it had a note on the back.
    9 And it said, I don't know exactly word for word,
    10 but something to the effect of, you know, Mr.
    11 White, there has been some question as to
    12 whether it was you or John Ramsey who removed
    13 the tape from JonBenet's mouth. You know. And
    14 about the sequence of the basement discovery.
    15 Because we had talking about this.
    16 Well, he said they are after me and
    17 my family now, John, I am going to have to
    18 handle -- and he was just like a maniac and
    19 Father Rol said to calm down and you know, he
    20 said, "I am going to handle it my way, John, my
    21 way, John and you know, Father Rol was just
    22 trying to get them to calm down. "It's okay
    23 Fleet," you know, "what do you mean by your
    24 way?" You know, calm down. You know, it will
    25 be okay.
    1 So that was just, that just shook
    2 me, you know, and then there are just -- you
    3 know, may or may not know just kind of
    4 subsequent things, like instead of going to the
    5 governor in Colorado they went to the governor
    6 of Colorado and asked that Hunter be taken off
    7 the case or that he was doing a bad job or
    8 something, and I mean this is like a year later,
    9 you know, and I mean they are still just -- so,
    10 I mean, you know, I am trying to say okay,
    11 everybody was traumatized, you know. Try to put
    12 my shoe on the other foot.
    13 If had been Daphne, if I had been
    14 there, what would I have done, you know. But I
    15 mean, my God, you know, it's my child, and I
    16 have been trying to get my family back to some
    17 semblance of normalcy. My child in the school
    18 and friends and you know. And I don't read
    19 newspapers, and I can't watch television,
    20 because it you know, value else me and surfaces
    21 it all over again. You know, and then to hear
    22 these people who are not even related and they
    23 are going to the governor and trying to you know
    24 I mean just kind of weird to me.
    25 Maybe I am reading things into it.
    1 I don't know. I can't imagine, you know, that
    2 anybody that has children -- you know, when you
    3 have children you know what a precious life that
    4 is, and you know what a -- you know, I can't
    5 imagine that you can do that to another child.
    6 I can't -- I can't bring myself to think that
    7 they would have actually done this. But
    8 somebody did it. You know.
    9 And we have been told that it's a
    10 lady that knew us, knew we were leaving, knew we
    11 were there. The dog wasn't there, knew we
    12 didn't use the alarm, you know, so --
    13 TOM HANEY: And these were all
    14 things that the Whites would have known?
    15 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah.
    16 TOM HANEY: So do you suspect
    17 Fleet?
    18 PATSY RAMSEY: Oh, God, you know, I
    19 just -- you know, I -- I guess in a way I look
    20 at everybody as a suspect. And with this
    21 erratic behavior it sounds pretty freaky to me.
    22 Last night we were reading through
    23 some paperwork or something, and I don't
    24 remember whether somebody interviewed Fleet and
    25 it was something that was like, wait a minute,
    0084
    1 that's (INAUDIBLE) I mean to -- but he knew --
    2 he knew so much detail about the letter. It's
    3 just something about, and this has been
    4 somebody, I forget who -- I am rambling.
    5 Somebody had interviewed Fleet and
    6 then had written up a report about their
    7 findings and that he seemed to know almost word
    8 for word the ransom letter and he commented
    9 about how the structure of it was so well tied
    10 together. I mean, I have read the ransom
    11 letter, I couldn't tell you what the structure
    12 was, you know. He seemed like really interested
    13 or something. It seemed unusual to me.
    14 So I mean, it would be a horrible
    15 blow if I do find out that it was somebody that
    16 was that close to us. But it was somebody and
    17 there is, I guess -- I guess could be anybody.
    18 TOM HANEY: What is your current
    19 relationship with the Whites?
    20 PATSY RAMSEY: We have not -- we
    21 have not spoken.
    22 TOM HANEY: When is the last time?
    23 PATSY RAMSEY: Well I -- when we
    24 left town, right in the mild the incident, I
    25 remember we were staying with the Stines, Glen
    0085
    1 and Susan Stine, Fleet White went in to Glen
    2 Stine's office at the university, and leaned
    3 across the table, demanding to let the Stines
    4 see us. And Glen Stine said Fleet, you know,
    5 settle down.
    6 TOM HANEY: Fleet wanted the Stines
    7 to let them (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS)?
    8 PATSY RAMSEY: He was just saying
    9 that the Stines were keeping us away from them,
    10 which wasn't the case. But he was going there,
    11 he went into the vice president of the
    12 university and (INAUDIBLE). You know what,
    13 irrational behavior.
    14 TOM HANEY: Is this--
    15 PATSY RAMSEY: So anyway, before I
    16 left town, (INAUDIBLE) before I left town I took
    17 a little teddy bear up to this kid and left a
    18 note, little teddy bear, and left a note, opened
    19 a card that said you know, we are leaving town
    20 or something, JonBenet loves you and whatever.
    21 I don't know.
    22 And then subsequently I had written
    23 a couple of notes, I found a picture of Daphne,
    24 that I sent to her and I think I wrote a note,
    25 there was a story, one of the tabloids had their
    0086
    1 photographs, said Ramseys accusing best friends
    2 or something, please don't believe these
    3 horrible stories, you know.
    4 But you know, not (INAUDIBLE) the
    5 next thing I heard that they were down in the
    6 governor's office (INAUDIBLE).
    7 TOM HANEY: This behavior that you
    8 have talked about with Fleet pounded on the desk
    9 and things, is that out of character for him or
    10 is he kind of like that?
    11 PATSY RAMSEY: I mean as far as I
    12 ever saw, because he was, he didn't -- I don't
    13 know exactly what he did for a living. He was
    14 not working a nine to five job. You know, I
    15 think he was in California, had been in the oil
    16 kind of business, so he said, but so he was
    17 around the house a lot. He took the kids to
    18 school. He dressed them. He -- we called him
    19 affectionately Mr. Mom and he just said he was
    20 taking a couple of years kind of hiatus to
    21 figure it out and get something else going.
    22 (The video portion of the tape
    23 stopped). So he was always just very loving and
    24 he was kind of like a lovable giant kind of, you
    25 know, big guy, but just very tender and very --
    0087
    1 sweet guy, you know. So this, you know,
    2 especially that time when he was in Father Rol's
    3 office and his eyes were just crazed. I mean I
    4 was just staying there going "oh, my God, what
    5 has gotten into him."
    6 So yes, yes. You know. There is a
    7 flicker, you know.
    8 TOM HANEY: Prior to the death,
    9 what was Fleet's behavior like, especially
    10 regarding JonBenet?
    11 PATSY RAMSEY: He, I mean, adored
    12 our children. You know. They played together a
    13 lot. They were at our house, you know, a lot.
    14 My children were at their house playing. They
    15 had been up to the lake with us, a number of
    16 times, for two, three weeks at a time.
    17 (The video portion resumed.)
    18 PATSY RAMSEY: You know we were I
    19 mean --
    20 TOM HANEY: Was there anything in
    21 this prior behavior that looking back now seems
    22 unusual?
    23 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, Priscilla was
    24 never crazy about me doing this whole pageant
    25 with JonBenet, she thought that was just totally
    0088
    1 unnecessary, because she said you know, it's
    2 just not the thing to do. Well, you know, I had
    3 grown up doing it, I enjoyed it, I had a lot of
    4 friends who had done it. I had very good
    5 experience with it. So that's what I brought to
    6 the table. My daughter was a performer, she was
    7 beautiful, she was outgoing, and flourished in
    8 that type of an environment. Daphne was not.
    9 You know.
    10 So Priscilla would oftentimes say
    11 to me, you know, you just, you shouldn't do
    12 that, you know, that's not a good thing to
    13 happen.
    14 I thought, you know, well, you
    15 raise your children the way you do and we don't
    16 all raise our children the same. So you know,
    17 kind of looking back at that and think, you
    18 know, did that really get to her or something.
    19 I don't know (INAUDIBLE).
    20 TOM HANEY: Was there anything else
    21 in either of -- either's behavior prior to the
    22 death that you like you said looking back now,
    23 outside of the pageant thing?
    24 PATSY RAMSEY: No, I mean John said
    25 -- he and Fleet sailed together, and they were
    0089
    1 taking -- and Fleet has been sailing for years.
    2 I mean he sailed big yachts in the Pacific Ocean
    3 and da-de-da-de-da, and so John was getting
    4 ready for this Mackinaw Island race and he Fleet
    5 were going to move our sailboat from Charlevoix
    6 to wherever this race was going to be held, I
    7 forget where, Chicago or something.
    8 Well, they were in the moves and
    9 were pulling into a harbor someplace, and had a
    10 big wave and somehow the ropes got spun up in
    11 the propeller, kicked off the engine, and they
    12 were heading for the --
    13 TOM HANEY: Dock?
    14 PATSY RAMSEY: The wall. The ocean
    15 wall or whatever they call that wall.
    16 TRIP DeMUTH: The shore?
    17 PATSY RAMSEY: The wall, whatever.
    18 And he said Fleet -- and Fleet was supposed to
    19 be the experienced yachtsman, you know, he said
    20 Fleet just panicked, you know. I mean he was
    21 just, John said he was really surprised because
    22 I mean here is John who is certainly the layman,
    23 and he immediately was trying to, you know, turn
    24 the thing backwards and trying to get it out or
    25 some, you know, but Fleet, he said Fleet just
    0090
    1 totally dropped his cool.
    2 And long story short, somebody in
    3 the yacht club saw them in trouble and the Coast
    4 Guard came out and pulled them away from the
    5 wall just in time. But John, kind of John's
    6 first tip-off that, you know, he wasn't a -- as
    7 capable under fire as maybe he would have
    8 thought.
    9 TOM HANEY: Did they -- did they
    10 have words that day over it or was there some
    11 problem or just like--
    12 PATSY RAMSEY: No. You know, I
    13 mean this was one of those stories you talk
    14 about over a beer, you know (INAUDIBLE).
    15 TOM HANEY: But nothing else?
    16 PATSY RAMSEY: No.
    17 TOM HANEY: Anything else about the
    18 Whites?
    19 PATSY RAMSEY: Just I mean, we
    20 just, their children were virtually the same
    21 age. I just thought we will be life-long
    22 friends, because, you know, I enjoyed her, John
    23 enjoyed him, the kids had each other. I mean it
    24 was just a perfect -- we liked to do a lot of
    25 the same things, they seemed to have
    0091
    1 discretionary income to be able to go places
    2 although in that respect John pointed out that
    3 all the yacht races and all that stuff was
    4 always on our tab. I didn't really pay
    5 attention to who was paying for what, but we
    6 would pay for the crew and everybody.
    7 I always got the impression that
    8 Fleet and Priscilla had either family money or
    9 something like that. You know. But John said
    10 when it came down to actually, you know,
    11 splitting it or splitting the hotel or
    12 something, that never really happened. So --
    13 TRIP DeMUTH: How long did you know
    14 them?
    15 PATSY RAMSEY: We met the summer I
    16 came back from the lake the first time, so that
    17 would have been like September-ish of '94.
    18 TRIP DeMUTH: You called Fleet Mr.
    19 Mom. Why do you do that?
    20 PATSY RAMSEY: Just because he was
    21 at home all the time. He took the kids to
    22 school and he went to the classroom and he, I
    23 mean -- she called him her live-in. Their
    24 live-in nanny.
    25 TRIP DeMUTH: Did Priscilla work?
    0092
    1 PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-uh.
    2 TRIP DeMUTH: So was she home most
    3 of the time also?
    4 PATSY RAMSEY: Yes.
    5 TRIP DeMUTH: Who would supervise
    6 JonBenet and Burke when they would go over to
    7 the Whites' house?
    8 PATSY RAMSEY: Both of them.
    9 TRIP DeMUTH: Were there any
    10 excursions or outings that Fleet White took your
    11 children on as well as his children?
    12 PATSY RAMSEY: I am sure there
    13 probably were.
    14 TRIP DeMUTH: Any that you recall?
    15 PATSY RAMSEY: Not right off the
    16 top of my head. I mean we went biking, out on
    17 the bike trails once all together, all of us.
    18 TRIP DeMUTH: Would Fleet ever
    19 baby-sit the children?
    20 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, I knew one
    21 time in particular John, we were all up at the
    22 lake, up at Charles Lake and John had to fly to
    23 New York to do some business, New York City, and
    24 Melinda was up there and the Whites. And
    25 Priscilla said -- she said, "John is going to
    0093
    1 New York, let's go shopping for the day."
    2 And I said, "who would keep the
    3 kids?"
    4 She said, "oh, Fleet can take care
    5 of the kids."
    6 I said, "oh, you're kidding."
    7 She said, "no, come on, it would be
    8 really fun, let's just go over there for the
    9 day." I said okay.
    10 So Melinda and Priscilla and myself
    11 and Mike Archuleta and John flew to Manhattan,
    12 John did his business there, and Priscilla and
    13 Melinda and I and Mike Archuleta shopped around
    14 for the day and then we flew back to Charles
    15 Lake. When I got home, the house was a
    16 disaster.
    17 TRIP DeMUTH: How many times, how
    18 often would Fleet be the baby-sitter for the
    19 kids, that you can remember? Can you give me
    20 any idea about that? Seldom, never, often?
    21 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, I would say
    22 when if my kids were over there, it would not be
    23 unusual that he would be the baby-sitter,
    24 because she might go running around or whatever
    25 and he would sit or vice versa.
    0094
    1 TRIP DeMUTH: And how often were
    2 your kids over at his home?
    3 PATSY RAMSEY: Maybe once a week.
    4 We hadn't seen them a whole lot that fall,
    5 because our children were going to different
    6 schools. And that was a little sticking point
    7 with Priscilla.
    8 TRIP DeMUTH: How did JonBenet feel
    9 about Fleet? Did she ever indicate anything?
    10 PATSY RAMSEY: No.
    11 TRIP DeMUTH: Seemed fine?
    12 PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-hum.
    13 TRIP DeMUTH: Thanks, Tom.
    14 TOM HANEY: When is the last time
    15 you had any contact, personal contact? You said
    16 you went to the fair but--
    17 PATSY RAMSEY: Probably that
    18 episode in Father Rol's office.
    19 TOM HANEY: Can you pin that down,
    20 approximately when that would have been?
    21 Ballpark figure.
    22 PATSY RAMSEY: Oh, early '97,
    23 February-ish, probably.

    Bench Warrant for Contempt of Court
    Hearing re-scheduled for Thursday July 19, 2001

    Fleet Russell White, Jr, 52 of Boulder, Colorado received a subpeona to testify at the trial attorney Thomas Miller on Wednesday, June 13, 2001. Thomas Miller was charged by a grand jury with commercial bribery for accompanying Globe tabloid editor, Craig Lewis to offer money for the ransom note in the Ramsey case.

    Fleet White did not appear for the trial. District Judge Jane Tidball had charged White with contempt of court and issued a bench warrant. A jury acquitted Miller on the bribery charge on Thursday, June 14, 2001, but Judge Tidball said Miller might have appealed a conviction based on White's failure to show up at his trial.

    On Monday, June 18, 2001 Fleet White was arrested on contempt of court charges when he showed up at the Jefferson County courthouse to inquire about a warrant that had been issued for him. White was processed into the Jefferson County jail, then released to his wife, Priscilla, who posted the $1,000 bond.

    A hearing was re-scheduled for Monday, June 25, 2001 so White could obtain an attorney. White appeared without a lawyer and asked to read a statement,

    "I have respect for this court," White began. "In this case, however, I did not have so much respect for this case in which I'd been subpoenaed." He said avoiding testimony in the Miller trial was "in the best interest of the ongoing JonBenet Ramsey investigation, the best interest of the Colorado justice system and, most importantly, the best interests of my family."

    Friday, June 29th was Fleet White's hearing extension where he appeared with his lawyer, Craig Truman. A Jefferson County judge formally charged Fleet White with contempt of court after White ignored two subpoenas in a criminal case. A new scheduled hearing was then set for Thursday, July 19, 2001.
    August 24:

    Fleet White's bizarre behavior is well known all over this case in and out of Boulder. IF those over yonder had any REAL sources they would know that. The BPD is well aware of his craziness. In fact, Beckner came close to banning him from the police headquarters for his vile tantrums. He scared too many people.

Ol' Fleet has his henchmen and women in all corners of the case....

    I do not lie. As Mark Twain says, you have to remember too much!

    I am reluctant to say more on the topic as the point of The Rat and others is to CHANGE THE TOPIC and defame those speaking the TRUTH!!! Fleet loves it when they do that! And they've never even met him or spoken to him...well, except his little buddy Spade.

    By all means, lets hear all about Fleet from Rat. Now THAT will be interesting!

    LOL, RR, that woman is so full of hatred, it just oozes out of her. One has to wonder if life made her that way or if there's a bit of a genetic disposition toward spitefulness and intense hatred. I'm usually not into ragging on anyone's physical attributes, but the first time I ever saw a picture of Suma, I was immediately taken by the downturn of the corners of her mouth. Sort of went with her nasty and condescending attitude.

    I'd give you hand over there, but it makes me feel unclean just to be on the same forum with that malignant personality. Just reading her evil posts makes me want to retch.

    So why was she posting about herself in third person - as though she wasn't Mame? I find that downright creepy. And she said again "I don't tell lies" - yes she does. Posting as Maddie, she said "I'm not Mame" - and then she outed herself and had to admit she was Mame.

    Sorry, but that's a lie and it makes her a liar. As far as I'm concerned, those who accept her lies and her anonymous, erroneous sources, deserve them.

    But we know that mame wouldn't recognize the truth if Nancy Krebs told it. Because NANCY KREBS SAID JOHN RAMSEY MOLESTED HER AND RAN A CHILD SEX RING.

    Should I repeat that? OK!

    You know what you should post there, RiverRat? Of course you do! Nancy Krebs telling LE that JOHN RAMSEY MOLESTED HER AS A CHILD AND WAS THEIR ACCOUNTANT.

    Surely those lugheads can understand PLAIN ENGLISH...? No?

    RR--Good for You!

    Congrats on exposing that blowhard ;) Mary Suma on the topix Forum!

    Now she'll have to slink away to a new venue.

    Maybe she can join Lee Hill--that other blowhard ;) --in his hiding place among the Indian Rights folks.
