00:00:00
The thing that I'm doing is I'm
00:00:03
officially doing the case that I swore I
00:00:06
would never do. The case that I think of
00:00:09
as our crime junkie origin story.
00:00:11
>> Never say never, right?
00:00:13
>> I know. And like, well, I think for a
00:00:14
long time I would just think that there
00:00:17
was like nothing that I could really
00:00:18
bring. Like this case has been done
00:00:20
seven ways to Sunday. I feel like there
00:00:22
are less versions of the Bible than
00:00:24
there are of books that have been
00:00:25
written about this case by anyone who's
00:00:27
even connected to the victim in any way
00:00:30
possible.
00:00:30
>> Well, and when you say crime junkie
00:00:32
origin story, it is like the case that
00:00:34
made us crime junkies. We were
00:00:37
>> tabloid height when she was all over the
00:00:39
tabloids.
00:00:39
>> Oh, yeah. I always said that my mom and
00:00:41
my grandma made me crime junkies. I was
00:00:42
into mystery novels, but it was when we
00:00:44
were we're almost her age and it was the
00:00:48
first time I realized that these stories
00:00:50
actually like happened in real life and
00:00:51
it was to someone who was my age who
00:00:54
look like us. It was it was scary. So,
00:00:57
for a generation who didn't grow up
00:00:59
tabloid height, staring into the green
00:01:01
eyes of a beauty queen in the making,
00:01:03
and for those of us who did, but maybe
00:01:05
only know this case at a surface level,
00:01:08
and you want to know how did we get
00:01:10
here, and what can we do now? I got you.
00:01:13
Let me tell you the story. Not from any
00:01:16
side. I have no theory. I thought one
00:01:18
thing when I was young, another thing
00:01:19
when I was older. But what I realized
00:01:21
when I actually dug in deep is that I
00:01:25
never had a real understanding of the
00:01:27
facts themselves. And that is what I
00:01:29
want to give everyone here today. So if
00:01:33
you are looking for a one-stop shop to
00:01:35
give you the case a layer deeper than
00:01:38
you'll hear anywhere else, this episode
00:01:41
is for you. This is the story of John
00:01:45
Bddy Ramsay.
