Someone doesnt want to admit they ever touched the RN:
PR: . . .from my bathroom. Um, I started down the spiral stairs and when I got nearly to the bottom I saw these three pieces of paper, like notebook size paper, on, on the run of the stairs and uh, I went on down and turned around and started reading, reading it. . .
PR: And I uh, screamed for John. He was up in our bedroom still and he came running down and uh, I told him that there was a note that said she had been kidnapped. And uh, uh, I think he, he said, I said, What should I do. What should I do, or something and he said, Call the police, and I think somewhere, I remember I said something about, you know, check Burke or something and I think he ran back and checked burke and I ran back down the stairs and then he came downstairs. He was just in his underwear and he uh, took the note and I remember him being down hunched on the floor read, with all three pages out like that reading it and uh, and he said, Call 911 or Call the police, or something and then I did.
TT: Okay. You pick up the note and start to read it, um, go back upstairs to JonBenets room? Is that correct?
PR: Well, I dont remember if I picked it or, or just leaned over and read it. I cant remember. I dont think I picked it up cause I remember just then bounding up the stairs toward her room.
TT: Okay. Patsy, do you recall who moved the note from the bottom of the stairs down to where John could read it with the good lighting.
PR: I think he did. I, I (inaudible) . . .

PR: I dont recall dong that but
ST: Okay.
PR:

ST: Do you recall uh, did the note go back upstairs with you when you went up to check JonBenets room?
PR: I dont remember exactly, but I dont think so. I think I just, you know, pounced up the stairs as fast as I could. I dont, I dont think I took it with me.
ST: Do you recall moving the note from the stairs to its eventual position where John read it on the floor?
PR: I, I dont recall moving it. No.
