Yeah. He's kind of scattered. I don't think he ever paid a lot of attention to what John did, especially if it's true there had been other sex crimes "throughout the South." He may have known about them or may not have.
They're obviously not close, though, because there's 7 years age difference and John went to live in AL with their grandparents when he was 12 (Nate would've been 5). I just don't think they interact a whole lot. Now or previously.
Whichever place they spent their Christmas holidays, it was a family gathering, either at the grandparents' in Hamilton, AL, where Lara and John lived at the time, or in Atlanta, with the father, Wexford, and Nathaniel and whatever family he might have.
I think there are other siblings, from what I've seen in my research, but will wait until someone brings them up. To my mind, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other - they're both remembering a family holiday in '96. I saw another later brief clip from Lara saying it could've been either, AL or ATL.
This whole deal is creepy. I read full account on AOL when I logged on this morning. The 'nice guy' theme of the interview with the brother didn't play well with me last night.
Could he have been the college student in Boulder?
May have figured out the amount of ranson requested when I looked at my own desk this morning. Anyone coming into my home could tell a lot about financial dealings by looking at my desk which is now nice and clean since I filed the paperwork this morning before logging on. If the perp got the paper from the desk of John Ramsey, the amount of bonus could have been lying right there on top of paperwork. Thought entered my mind when I saw the top part of a check for a refund from the escrow account lying right on top of everything with the amount as clear as could be.
