Hey, Desirvin' listeners, this is Chapter 3 in our deep dive on John Bonnet Ramsey.

0:04.3

Umberto is walking us through the story. We got to the point where in the patron zone last time,

0:10.5

I yammered a lot about how, well, about child beady pageants, all of the research, the very

0:17.4

little of it there, that there is my passionate opinions going both directions really so chapter

0:25.5

three got kind of heat it we like there was a fight broke out i feel well some of the equipment was

0:31.1

damaged maybe well i feel like i brought you a little bit into my camp yeah yeah so take it away we're

0:36.0

chapter three okay so first of all, big warning right now.

0:40.2

I'm going to go over autopsy report for John Bonae. So this is going to include some very

1:30.3

subdural bleeding beneath the fracture site. Now you will hear some reports. So this would

1:36.0

mean that it was an injury before she died? Well see there's been a little bit of

1:42.4

discrepancy. The official autopsy report says yes before she died.

1:46.8

There's been some folks that, you know, because as you know, the Ramsey's hired their own

1:50.6

investigators, there's other people, blah, that claimed that actually there would have been a
