I've been going through old threads to try to catch up since I'm new to the forum.
I saw a post from Tricia where it was indicated that at the beginning of the 911 tape we hear Patsy say "Hon, we need 'em."
I then listened to the 911 tape and it is obvious she says this (in fact I can't believe this wasn't heard initially, it's so clear).
Now I suppose you could stretch and say John had said "Call the police!" and Patsy was merely validating his order, but that's a stretch.
It's pretty clear to me John said something like "Are you sure we should call them?" given the ransom note's demands and Patsy replied, "Hon, we need 'em."
(My theory is that John participated in the cover up in a passive way, having a sense that Patsy killed JonBenet, but that the two never spoke about it -- that she acted the part of the grieving mother all the way to the grave.)
In any event, regardless of one's scenario, I am curious: have people made a big deal of the way the 911 tape actually starts? I imagine I would have read about this or heard about this MUCH more than I have in my 6 or so weeks delving into the case.
This would seem to me to be a profound bit of circumstantial evidence pointing to Patsy as the killer and stager, and John as an accomplice either through passivity or a complicity that only came later.
I'm very curious to know the subsequent history of the "Hon, we need 'em" revelation.
