C: Um, I think you'll find her information very um, very related and interesting.
A: Okay, let me back up, Mackey died in November of what year.
C: '96.
A: 96.
A: Okay, that's what I thought. (Inaudible, mumbles) Okay, um, we'll start the tape back up here, you talked about a three page letter, is that right?
C: Well, it's a (inaudible, too many speak at once).
A: Before page four. The first page starts (inaudible) that sort of thing then we go to page two…
C: Yes.
A: …is that correct? That kind of is frame of reference to who wrote this letter.
D: I did.
A: And again, during therapy?
D: Right.
A: With Mary.
D: Right.
A: Um who is the letter written to?
D: It's not really written to anybody.
A: It's just kind of notes?
D: It's not really notes, it's just stuff that I felt I needed to get out of me.
A: Okay, yeah, that's finE: Um let's go to page two in where you talk a little bit about
P96-21871
how Mackey fits into this.
D: Uh huh.
A: Um, where you talk about Mackey, you know, who Mackey is um, tell me how this all fits together. I guess, I want you to sum up a little bit about where you talked about how Christmas time fits in, Mackey died in November of '96, how Christmas time fits in, how the letter fits in. Why don't you, I'll let you tell me um, how this…
D: Well, how I think…
A: How you think it all fits together.
D: In that my family (inaudible) um, would count on, and that would be Mackey's job often times in, in those pornographic films and pornographic pictures being taken, that he would be the person to strangle the…somebody to the point where they wanted them.
A: Okay. So Mackey would be the person that would basically um, temporarily choke somebody out um, take them to the point of unconsciousness. Um, and you talked about earlier that he would use a ligature to do that? Or he would use his hands?
D: He would use all kinds of things. It was like he would use his hands, he would use little pieces of string, which I have one…
A: Okay.
D: …that I've had, um, and (inaudible) possessions and he would use ropes, um pieces of latex, um scarfs.
A: If he used a rope or a scarf, how would he do it? Just wrap it around and pull the ends? Or would he, how would he choke you to the point of unconsciousness with the rope?
D: Well it wasn't his purpose to choke me or anybody else to unconsciousness, that's not what they wanted to happen…
A: Right, right.
P96-21871
D: …but to a point where you're uh, I can remember that my lips would start tingling and my eyes would feel like they were going to pop out of my head…
A: Okay.
D: …and that was all part of the look they wanted to get.
A: Okay. How would he use that rope to get that look? What did he do with the rope?
D: He would put it around my neck…
A: Okay.
D: …and usually on one side or the other, apply more pressure on one side or the other with the rope by pulling.
A: So let me see if I understand this. He just wrapped the rope around your neck and again kind of put the two ends on one side of your neck or the other and just pull it, kind of looking at you, just kind of pull the rope um 'till your eyes kind of bulged out a little bit like you talked about? Okay. Now again, how does Mackey fit into the whole Christmas thing and the death of JonBenet?
D: Well that's like all.
A: Okay, that's…
D: …all conjecture on my part.
A: Okay, tell me how you think this whole things fits together then.
D: I think that, that he wasn't he obviously wasn't there and they used somebody in his place that wasn't as experienced.
A: Okay
D: In doing that and that they went too far.
P96-21871
A: Okay. So let me take this a little step further, do you think some sort of uh, snuff film, well it's not a film, a filming type thing?
D: Yeah. And I don't, I don't think that they meant to kill her and I'll tell you why. I think that because she was making money for them. She was, she was doing something for them and they wouldn't have wanted to kill her.
C: Will you tell them about your Christmas, tell them about your Christmas.
A: Actually Lee hold on for just a second. Let me make sure I understand what um, so you believe Mackey died in November, he's out of the picture. Obviously he's not the one to be able to control the victim, as it were, to get the effect that they wanted to get out of the victim, so somebody else took over Mackey's job as it were. Is that what you are saying?
D: Yes.
A: Okay. And doing, doing this to the victim's eye, uh, have her eyes bulge out, JonBenet's eyes bulge out, that sort of thing um, this person may have accidentally killed her. Is that what I'm hearing?
D: Yeah.
A: Okay.
D: And I don't know that her eyes bulged out. I don't know any…thing.
A: Right, right. No and I understand that. I'm just trying to relate her to, to your experience.
D: My own experience.
A: Okay. Um would they have, during this time, when they got to the point od actually strangling her, um, would they have had intercourse with her? I mean, is that kind of the same pattern that followed with you?
D: Yeah.
A: I mean, that's, cause it kinda sounds like to me um, when you got to the point of the
P96-21871
Ligatures being placed around your neck, that's pretty far along in this whole…
D: Right with my…
A: …whole pattern of abuse. That wasn't the first thing that occurred.
D: Right.
A: And again, relating back to your pattern of abuse, the first time you were sexually assaulted they didn't put a ligature around your neck, correct? If you can remember.
D: I don't really remember that.
A: Okay.
D: That much, all I can really remember about anything being a first time, is like I say, is sitting on the toilet and just screaming and there being blood in the toilet and remembering that, you know back, somebody else had to be there.
A: Okay.
D: I mean, I…
A: (inaudible) And again I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but kind of along this whole pattern of abuse that occurred, did the, did the neck ligatures uh, did that occur, for what you could remember, towards the end of your abuse?
D: It was, yeah.
A: Okay.
D: In, uh, especially if they were filming or taking pictures.
A: Right, I mean it's not that they didn't film you from the very beginning, they didn't take pictures from the very beginning that you could remember?
P96-21871
D: Oh no, The whole thing was filmed.
A: From the very, very first sexual um, contact that you had or…a specific event.
D: Well, lots of times from a…a…a specific event would be filmed.
A: Right, the entire event was filmed.
D: Right.
A: Well, I guess what I'm getting at is, this kind of pattern of abuse.
D: Right.
A: It started out kind of minor things, whether it be the fondling, the touching, that sort of thing up to a point where somebody had sexual intercourse with you.
D: No, in one particular event. But it would start out…
A: Actually I'm talking about the entire scheme. Um, the very first time anybody, whether it was Mackey, whether it was your grandfather, whoever, um, started this assault on you, numerous assaults. It kind of sounds like it followed a pattern. It started out fairly minor as it were, the very first time that you were assaulted by your grandfather, you were tied up. Do you see what I'm saying?
D: I think that would be really hard for me to remember.
A: And, and it may be.
D: All I remember is like…
C: There…there…was not a bolero effect from what she is telling me but a series of assaults and in each separate incidents it would start out with the equivalent of foreplay and it would escalate to different conclusions, either you know sodomy or…
A: Okay
C: …oralcop…or (inaudible) manipulating what looks like a female orgasm in a child
P96-21871
by asphyxiation.
A: So that happened in the very, very beginning. Is that what I'm…
C: She doesn't remember precisely from our (soft spoken) conversations but…
A: Okay.
C: …her earliest memories include those features.
A: Do the earliest memories include the strangulation type stuff?
C: Yes.
A: Okay. And that's what I am trying to understand. So to relate this back to JonBenet, um, that um, the strangulation would have occurred during intercourse, is that what I'm hearing? And again…
D: In my own…
A: …based on your experience.
D: …I would say yes.
A: Okay, either oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse?
D: Right.
A: Okay, and they would have filmed this encounter, is that what you are saying?
D: Yes.
A: Okay, and they being both at least, John Ramsey, because of your past history with Uncle Johnny, who you say is John Ramsey, is that correct?
D: Right.
A: And Fleet White, either Junior or Senior?
P96-21871
D: One or both
A: Okay, and again, that's so, the players that we should be looking at we should be focused on Fleet White Senior, Fleet White Junior and John Ramsey?
D: Right.
A: Are there any other people, other than those three, um specific to the Ramsey homicide that we should focus on that you know of?
D: As being there?
A: As being there.
D: Well my mom.
A: Okay.
D: By that conversation that I had with her on the telephone.
A: Okay, because she was, she took XXX to the White's house. Let me ask you this, where, I mean, we've collected evidence from the Ramsey home, but is there another house we should have collected evidence at? Or where you believe this homicide occurred? Bases on what your mom said from that phone call.
D: Well, I can't, she didn't, the only thing that would lead me to think that is was, it had been at Fleet White's house is the fact that she said she had been there.
A: Okay.
D: For a Christmas party.
A: Okay.
D: And to me this is very significant because a lot of times things would happen on Christmas and they would involve a Santa Claus and I have numerous, numerous pictures of me with Santa taken even in the same year, I mean, like it's Christmas 1964, and I might have three different pictures of me with two different settings of Santa Claus. I mean, they would often start out (inaudible) by using a Santa Claus
P96-21871
a person dressed as Santa Claus, to fondle somebody.
A: Okay. So, in your history, Christmas was a significant time?
D: Right. And there was also another reason for things to happen on holidays like that is that then you would be given time to heal to go back to school..
A: Okay, so you are talking about that Christmas for you was a time when sexual assaults occurred for a couple of reasons. One so that you could heal up before you went back to school after the first of the year? Okay. Any other significance towards the Christmas holidays? I mean you talked about that and Santa Claus, any other significance?
D: Um, I just think that that, is just that's a good time to plan a [arty of some kind of event, have a lot of people over at your house and then have some of the people leave and yet the people stayed behind and it wouldn't be conspicuous.
A: Again, in this case, the White's could have had your mom over to the house with XXX. Do you think that XXX is a victim of this sexual assault also?
D: Yes I do.
A: Okay, so you think she was a victim of the sexual assault the night that your mom took her over to the White's house?
D: Yes.
A: Okay, and I base this because she is a living person and that is something we have to deal with also.
D: Right.
A: So, do you believe that XXX was a victim of a sexual assault? Is that right?
D: Uh huh, and I have some other things that happened this summer when XXX was staying with me.
A: Okay, what other things are those, other than, you talked about one um, where XXX and your brother and your neighbor all went down for pizza and all that, is there
P96-21871
another event?
D: Well, that was in '98, in '99 um, my mom brought um, XXX, I actually went and picked them up in San Francisco from the airport.
A: Okay.
D: And, brought them to my house, my mom came to my house and picked them up at my house and my mom stayed there that time during that time and I think my mom was there probably about a week or so.
A: Okay.
D: And then she took XXX and XXX to Torona and they stayed there approximately two to three weeks, came back to my house and it was when they came back to my house that um things happened to XXX.
A: Okay, what things happened to XXX.
D: Um XXXX grandmother, XXXX had rented a room in a motel room all day in California called the XXX.
A: Okay, XXXXX?
C: XXXX.
D: XXXXX.
A: Okay, XXXXXX?
D: Uh huh, XXXXXX and she, first had XXXXX come over and stay with her a couple of days and then XXXXx came back, he seemed fine and the my mom took XXXXX and disappeared for a day and a half with XXXXX and told me that she was taking XXXXx over to where XXXXx was at in XXXXx, um I mean not where XXXX was, where XXXX was at in XXXXX.
A: Okay.
D: And then, um, when XXXXX came back, my mom brought her back to my house in
P96-21871
handcuffs.
A: Okay.
D: And I have the handcuffs. I don't have them here with me.
C: There are pictures on the video.
D: And um they brought her back and XXXX laid down on the floor and started screaming and she was telling me they had stuck something in her ear.
A: Okay.
D: And that her ear was really hurting and, and she just kept laying on the floor and crying and I got into a very big argument with my mom and almost had a fist fight because I told her that I was taking XXX to the hospital and she didn't want to let me out of the house with XXXX.
A: Okay, did you take XXX to the hospital?
D: Yes I did.
A: Okay, and what did they find at the hospital?
D: They just examined her ears.
A: Okay.
D: They found that she had some irritation to her ear.
A: Okay.
C: Okay, can…can I interject?
A: Uh huh.
C: I video taped the sheets that describes severe ear infection that were delivered to her following the hospital visit. It lists XXX name, the date and the hospital on one form.
P96-21871
A: Okay, now do you have those sheets that you are talking about the emergency room she or whatever?
C: (inaudible).
D: (inaudible).
C: No these are the standard form what to do with a severe ear infection, but they do include the girl's name and the date of admission and treating physician. They are in the custody of her therapist who also interviewed XXX associated with injuries other injuries she saw.
B: Did you ask your mom why she had handcuffs on XXXX?
D: I didn't have to ask why she had handcuffs on XXX.
A: Why were the handcuffs on?
D: Because that's the way they brought her back from the motel and they wanted her to know that she was still unable to leave.
A: Okay.
D: And that happened several times to me, I, I mean I think they were very well documented in my therapy and stuff about me being taken places in handcuffs and…
A: Okay.
C: Can I help a little bit please tell them other things that XXX complained of. Tell them about the photographs she had in her backpack.
D: Okay. This was, I believe it was the night before my, that XXX and XXX were supposed to leave to go to Germany.
A: Uh huh.
D: And I was helping them pack um, their clothes. They had a big suitcase and they each had a back pack and I was going to put something into XXX back pack and in um,
P96-21871
a manilla envelope in like about the same size that one Fleet White sent those pictures in, inside there were some photographs and photographs were of mummified bodies, um, a scorpion and um an ant hill with ants.
C:. (cough).
A: And the significance of those three photos?
D: (sighs).
A: Did XXX tell you the significance of those?
D: Well, she had already told, I, under the pretense that I was taking XXX for breakfast, out to breakfast…
A: Uh huh.
D: Um, I took XXX to see Mary Bienkowski.
A: Okay.
D: Because I wanted her to be able to speak to XXX and hear for herself what XXX had to say and Mary, I did not schedule an appointment with her or anything, I just went by there. She happened to be out of her office and she, I told her that I had XXX out in the car and that I would like to bring her in. She said okay, and I brought her in.
A: Okay.
D: And Mary, in just very, very general terms started talking to XXX abnout what was, what it was like in Germany and um, she asked XXX what she had been doing and XXX told her that she had been to Torona her grandma's house and that she had been stung by ants and that um, and she had on her knee a um, visible, what I had known doe myself as a cigarette burn on her knee and she um, had a little mark up here on her forehead and she told um, Mary that she had been stung by a scorpion.
A: OK, which is the significance of the three pictures.
D: But I…
