"911 call - tape links"
 
   "Update on 911 enhancement"

LAST EDITED ON Aug-25-03 AT 08:29 AM (EST)

Dave has been doing all he could to clean up and enhance the 911 casette and CD tapes. He has asked that these new copies be shared and I am happy to do that.

http://www.jameson245.com/tape1.mp3 is the casette tape - the one that the BPD had enhanced long ago, the one Lin Wood shared with the networks. In the casette, I don't hear anything that I would bring to any lab to enhance. At the end, I think Patsy hangs up while the 911 operator was calling her name. Then I hear what I would think is the tape recorder - the repeated sound that sounds just like my own reel-to-reel turning a tape.

http://www.jameson245.com/tape3.mp3 is the enhancement of the end of the casette tape- - the section where the BPD says they heard conversation. Please listen to it.

http://www.jameson245.com/tape2.mp3 is the CD. The CD was made in 2003 as part of a larger project - the BPD started putting all the 911 calls on CD for more secure storage - - and the Ramsey 911 call was included. In the CD, we hear much more, the actual moment when the operator starts talking to Patsy. In some ways, the CD isn't as good as the casette - BUT I think it is very important because it DOES contain the noises at the front of the conversation. IfI had been investigating the case, I might have had THOSE parts enhanced, but that did NOT happen. At first I didn't understand why the BPD had cut off the front of the 911 tape - - butnow I think I do know. I think the police heard what I heard - - the same repeated sound found at the end of the tape. Listen for yourself and see if you agree. Then realize that if the sound was there before and after - - - it is hardly likely the sound was from the Ramsey house at all - - it was more likely from the recording equipment at the 911 emergency center.

http://www.jameson245.com/tape4.mp3 is an MP3 file that is made up of three loops from
the audio CD track.
In the Left channel are various audio sections, one from the point
before the call is answered, from the supposed Burke voice, and from
the extra CD stuff at the very end.
In the Right channel is the supposed John voice.

What do YOU hear?

A report from Dave follows to document what he did - - be warned that it may be detailed and confusing to some of us....

He mentions two more bits and I will put them here asap.

This is what Dave says about them:
"They are from the cassette tape, comparing the timing of the supposed Burke and supposed John voices. They are filtered out in a way that shows that they cannot be voices over the Ramsey phone line, and they are compared to each other in Left and Right stereo channels so you can hear that the timing is suspiciously similar. This leads me to conclude that they are NOT voices, and that there is something too mechanical about them, suggesting a mechanical origin."

Report to follow.

(for the record, the enhancement done by Aerospace for the Boulder police is not public. I think it may well be sealed as "grand jury evidence" and that would mean NO ONE has heard it since the grand jury ended.)

   The part of the tape purported to be John's voice has the slight sound of a human voice that seems very mechanical and rhythmic. Of course, rhythmic, mechanical noises often sound slightly like speech to me. I remember when I was a kid, I used to make up words that fit the pattern. Anybody else have that experience? None of the rest of it sounds at all like a human voice.

   One-Eyed Jack,

I remember when I was a kid, I used to make up words that fit the pattern.

Apparently some people do this as a part of their profession!

Seriously, I have done this for fun, too (not professionally!). What I really like doing is making up raunchy lyrics by substituting words, especially words that rhyme with the original ones, for songs I really hate. This sometimes makes me smile while songs I hate are being played, giving people the wrong impression. This, in turn, I find even more amusing. (If they only knew!) And so on...

LOL, Dave! Apparently so.

Me, too:)

The brain appears to be wired to pick up patterns in sound and sights and fill in any blanks both as a matter of survival and voluntarily. From raunchy and humorous lyrics to fine art appreciation, finding patterns appears to be universally gratifying.

Like anything, this can be exploited for less than honorable reasons, and I think that is why we have this 'investigation' into Ramsey voices at the end of the the 911 recording.

   It's 2007 now.

A simple summation for those who find this from other links on the Internet:

The problem with claims regarding voices on the 911 recording is actually quite simple to resolve. There are high frequencies contained in the noises purported to be voices, frequencies which are above those that can be transmitted over phone lines. This eliminates the possibility that Burke's and/or John's voices were actually heard on the 911 tape before or after "enhancement" as described elsewhere.

It is a serious, shameful oversight on the part of others who did not pick up on this. It does not take much knowledge, experience, equipment, or anything else to make this determination.

What do YOU hear?

I heard one two-syllable word after Patsy "hung up". I have to go back in and listen again. I'll get back to ya and let you know which tape recording I heard it on. This was over an hour ago. -SD

   I heard the two-syllable word again at
http://www.jameson245.com/tape2.mp3

I also noticed a couple of things. Patsy Ramsey appeared to be having a panick attack at the time of the 911 call. And let me tell ya, there is a big difference in being scared and sad and frantic for you think your daughter had been kidnapped and is missing and having a panick attack... on top of all of those feelings. The other thing I noticed was that John Ramsey was not heard. Does anyone know what he was doing at the time of the 911 call? Was he already looking for JonBenet? There is one other thing. She, Patsy, was already speaking before the 911 dispatcher picked up the call. Was Patsy talking to someone, or herself, as many do to comfort themselves, particularly during a panick attack? -SD

   John was right by her side - reading the note that was lying on the floor.
