The other officers were ordered to leave the Ramsey home and go back to the Boulder Police Department or off-shift. This report is from the morning of December 26, 1996, and continues through when JonBenét’s body was found shortly after 1 p.m. that day. Detective Linda Arndt was the detective.

The following is a BPD report from Detective Linda Arndt from Friday, December 27, 1996.

John Ramsey had asked if the BPD would send some officers by so he could talk with them. Arndt and another officer, Sergeant Larry Mason, responded.

This is a report from the other detective who originally responded to the scene with Detective Arndt. Detective Fred Patterson left at approximately 9:45 to accompany Commander-Sergeant Bob Whitson back to the police department to debrief the FBI and other officers who were just arriving.
