In January 1998, Barbara Fernie contacted investigators after she and her son saw a tabloid and recognized BRs golf clubs in the picture. Since BF recalled JR asking for his golf club bag, she thought she would inform the investigators.
During that same visit, investigators learned about the scratches around the exterior screen door lock Barbara Fernie had seen earlier that year and had, in fact, mentioned the marks to Patsy who dismissed them as JR attempting to enter the home.
Only, the Ramsey's ran a half page ad, soon after the murder, in the Denver area papers with a picture of the screen door with its scratches and indentations stating it could have been a possible entry point for the kidnapper.
The ad's claim did not sit well with Barbara Fernie who knew Patsy was aware of the screen door's chipping damage months prior. She viewed it as an attempt to mislead the public. BF indicated this was the point in which she broke ties with Patsy Ramsey.
13 TRIP DEMUTH: 205.
14 PATSY RAMSEY: That is all chipped out.
15 TOM HANEY: Is that unusual?
16 PATSY RAMSEY: It looks unusual to me. I
17 didn't do it.
18 TOM HANEY: Do you recall though, was this
19 prior damage?
20 PATSY RAMSEY: Prior damage, oh --
21 TOM HANEY: Prior to December 26 of 1996.
22 PATSY RAMSEY: I can't say for sure. I don't
23 know. I don't remember that.
24 TOM HANEY: That is that door -- correct me
25 if I am wrong -- leading into the kitchen area.
0406
1 PATSY RAMSEY: The back hall.
2 TRIP DEMUTH: Right to the patio.
3 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah.
4 TOM HANEY: Do you know who caused that?
5 PATSY RAMSEY: I just don't remember having
6 it.
7 TOM HANEY: Okay. Now there was some
8 information out in the media about damage to the door
9 or something like that.
10 PATSY RAMSEY: This door?
11 TOM HANEY: Well, I assume that that is the
12 one we are talking about, are you familiar with that?
13 PATSY RAMSEY: Huh-uh. (inaudible).
14 PATRICK BURKE: If you don't know.
15 PATSY RAMSEY: I don't know.
