Who really flew to Atlanta on standby?

[David Rogers]

Do we really know who flew to Atlanta on standby? Supposedly it was Grandpa but did he really board or was it someone else? Do we have a record of him coming back? Maybe this explains why everyone in Atlanta including the ex wife needed a lawyer.

Can you elaborate on your question a little more? I'm not sure I understand. Thanks!

Is this like “who’s on first”? What person/case is this regarding?

Donald Paugh
(Roswell, Georgia)
(Victim's Grandfather)
Donald Paugh was at the 12-23-1996 Ramsey Christmas party but he flew stand-by on the 24th to Atlanta, Georgia.

Things were not as stick when flying back then. Could someone else have flown back because of what happened the night before?

Ooh that’s a very good question.

Hmmm I've never heard of this before. Ok I think I understand what you're saying. Interesting!

The issue of whether Don Paugh actually did fly standby to Atlanta is an unsettled question for me.

All I can say all these years later is that it could have been him or it could have been John Andrew, who had also been in Boulder. Since no one looked into the issue very deeply at the time, there's no way to know all these years later. He's dead, Nedra's dead, Patsy's dead. John's not talking, Burke and JAR aren't talking.

Don Paugh had a condo in Boulder and worked at AG in Boulder most of the time. In general terms of " Was this sort of last minute flight unusual for him?", I tend to think it wasn't by 1996.

Nedra's health was failing and Don didn't spend much time at their home in Roswell, GA. This was largely ignored in the narrative or glossed over, but an impeccable source told me that Don was rarely " at home" in Roswell, GA, preferring Boulder because " Nedra was a difficult person in her ways. "

As we all are likely " difficult" to some people in some ways, I do not consider this an inflammatory or unusual statement for people in their age group. Her main problems were diabetes and diabetic neuropathy by the time this all occurred, so she was having problems with mobility and endocrine issues with glucose control, etc. I don't think she was able to do much walking or traveling at all. Source- her physician.

Are you saying that her physician told you this info?

It was poorly indiscriminate, but yes, I was the recipient of some talk from my specialist physician who had an unhealthy attraction to his new, young and very striking patient at the time.
He knew of my interest in the Ramsey case only because I had one or another of the just- released case books to read in his waiting room and he used that topic to try to form a bond with me that didn't exist.

I was newly married and very happy. and remain happy in my life to this day.
He was about 15 years or more older ( he was so polished from head to toe, a sartorial photograph of business dress minus the lab coat and stethoscope). He was likely having a mid life crisis with the Porsche convertible, recent divorce, and the very unsavory fact that he was coming on to a patient through a dead child.

I should have reported him to the State Medical Board, but it was a worker's comp case for me, as I was injured on the job, and he was the TOP specialist in his field and had been CHOSEN for me. It's kind of hard to call up the insurance person and tell her the doctor and I aren't a good fit because of his sexual attraction to me, when each visit likely cost them a great deal of money. He was NOT known as a " worker's comp" doctor like some are, in fact, his specialty area was as far from that as could be imagined.

I fit into the age demographic of his usual patients, whereas Nedra was an outlier. Remember, most big cities have professional sports teams with players who get many injuries and need specialized medical treatment...... His specialty area of practice was a large part of the escalating attraction I was aware of. The apparent novelty of having a young, pretty female patient in his office bi-weekly for over a year kept me closely in his orbit. ( Part of my case manager's treatment plan for me).

I moved 1200 miles away and gladly said good-bye to him and the state.

i could probably ask this question in alot of the individual topics as often i dont understand how these pieces would fit into a narrative.

what significance does "who flew stand-by"? have?........ assuming it wasn't a midnight redeye from Denver late at night on the 24th, the person would have been long gone by JBR death

and if grandpa was around, and then he wasn't around, it strikes me as fairly safe to say it was he who caught the flight.......
