John and Patsy Ramsey were separately interviewed for three days on June 23, 24, and 25, 1998 -- and Burke Ramsey had been interviewed for three days one week earlier. Burke's interview is not available, but here's excerpts from some of Patsy's responses to questions asked by Tom Haney about Burke:
TH: "What have you told Burke about the murder?"
PR: "To date?"
TH: "To date."
PR: "Well, just that we are going to try to find out who did this to JonBenet. I haven't told him anything about how she was murdered or the details like that."
TH: "What details would he know or had you talked with him about?"
PR: "To be quite honest, we really haven't talked to him much about it. It's too hard, you know, it's hard to talk about."
TH: "Has he volunteered information?"
PR: "No."
TH: "Has he had questions?"
PR: "No."
TH: "Never 'what's going to happen, who did it'?"
PR: "No."
TH: "Did he ever mention getting up at any time during the night?"
PR: "No."
TH: "So he slept through until -- I believe it was John that ultimately got him up to take to the Fernies?"
PR: "Yes, to my knowledge."
(At that point the Ramseys had not been informed they had Burke's voice on the enhanced 911 tape. The question was formed to lock in Patsy's lie about Burke being in bed asleep during the 911 call.)
TH: "How about with the moving and all of that, has that caused some problems for him, change of schools?"
PR: "Yeah. And I have been in touch with the counselors and the teachers and everybody, alert to this. And they said that -- they are remarkably surprised at how well he is doing. He just makes friends and gets good grades."
TH: "So his adjustment's been pretty -- "
PR: "Been pretty good."
TH: "You mentioned I think when I asked you yesterday, had you seen an interview from last week with Burke. You said no?"
PR: "No."
TH: "There were like three days, and the first two days were pretty basic questions, but on the third day there were questions where the discussion was around JonBenet and death. And I am no psychologist, psychiatrist, but immediately noticed a change in Burke and his demeanor. He's curled up in his chair something like this, not sitting like this, but in a chair like this, and he's half in a fetal position and it seems to be a real struggle, a real difficult time. I am wondering if you noticed anything similar, any changes?"
PR: "Well, I may have -- I have had him in therapy just for this reason."
TH: "Does it seem like he knows more than he is saying, and obviously he's not saying much?"
PR: "Right."
TH: "Like he's keeping something in?"
PR: "As far as something about who did it, I don't think he knows. I mean, he would say."
TH: "Is that something that you have asked the doctor to explore?"
PR: "I don't know if I have directly asked him that."
