The Ramsey CaseLinda Arndt was the law enforcement officer who was in the Ramsey home when JonBenet Ramsey was discovered by her father, John Ramsey, in the basement. Contrary to reports, she was not the first officer at the scene. Two patrol officers, Karl Veitch and Rick French, were the first to arrive at the home. They searched the entire house, except the room JonBenet was later found in.
It was revealed in the CBS Special, "The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey" (2016), that FBI Agent Ron Walker was the one who suggested that John Ramsey search the house 'from top to bottom." Walker said that he wanted the search done in the presence of a police officer. It wasn't clear from the interview whether he made this suggestion to Linda Arndt directly or if he relayed the suggestion to another officer who relayed this information incorrectly. Walker also stated that Linda told him, as soon as she made this suggestion to John Ramsey, he grabbed his friend Fleet White, and made a beeline for the basement.
"Sgts. Paul Reichenbach and Bob Whitson, the supervisors initially in charge of the scene, told Arndt that it appeared to be a "real kidnapping." Her orders were to wait with the Ramseys and their friends for a phone call from the presumed kidnapper. The ransom note said a call would come between 8 and 10 a.m. The phones were rigged to record and trace the call. Arndt's supervisors permitted seven of the Ramseys' friends at the house to stay, Blaircom's report said. One of the first things Arndt did when she arrived was to seal off JonBenét's bedroom, which had not been done in the two hours since the first officers arrived, the report said." - Christopher Anderson, The Daily Camera (May 20, 2001) http://web.dailycamera.com/extra/ramsey/2001/20arams.html
In a March 18, 2000 deposition she stated she felt in fear for her life and the lives of everyone in the house because she thought John Ramsey was the killer and she wasn’t certain of what he may do.

Attorney Lin Wood said Ramsey was not seriously injured in the incident at the home in northwest Atlanta. Wood said Ramsey saw the man leaving with two large bags, but he didn't know what was in them.
Ramsey told a KUSA reporter that the intruder apparently made off with a computer, money, his wife's "Kmart jewelry," clothes and Ramsey's wallet.
"Mr. Ramsey has a gun vault, and we suspect that some weapons were taken," said Deputy Atlanta Police Chief C.B. Jackson.
Jackson said Ramsey was locked in a bathroom but was able to free himself and call police. Ramsey sustained some cuts and bruises and an injury to his left eye, said his physician, Dr. Richard Kauffman.
Wood said his client "got a good look at the man."
"It's a horrible invasion of your privacy and your feeling of safety," Ramsey told KUSA. "We certainly went through that with JonBenét. It certainly has resurfaced. Our house here is we think ultra-secure. Again he was able to bash down a door and just come in."
Ramsey said he had just returned home from an errand at Home Depot.
"There was a car in the driveway, and the doors were all locked upstairs," said Ramsey, whose wife, Patsy, was at his side during a brief interview at his home.
"So I couldn't figure who was here, if anybody," he said.
"I confronted the guy in the hallway. He had a bag of mine, and I said, 'Give it to me.' He wouldn't give it to me. I turned around to say I was going to call police. He jumped me and we scuffled for what seemed like a long time," Ramsey said.
He said he was then locked in a bathroom as the man fled. A short while later, he got out of the bathroom and telephoned police.
Ramsey said the intruder left in what he thought was a Chevrolet Cavalier, possibly light gray in color.
Jackson said a composite drawing of the suspect will be done at a later time when Ramsey formally gives his statement at police headquarters.
"We'll work with him," Quigley said.
Quigley and Wood said they didn't know if the intruder knew that Ramsey was the father of JonBenét Ramsey, the 6-year-old beauty queen who was found killed in her Boulder home Dec. 26, 1996. Her parents moved to Atlanta after the slaying.
Jackson said police were treating it as "a burglary that turned into a home invasion."
Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner said his office will contact Atlanta police later this week, once more information is available, just to have a record of the facts. Beckner said his office was not involved in the burglary investigation.
In interviews with reporters, the Ramseys said the death of their daughter left them concerned about the security of their home and said their new Atlanta house would have state-of-the-art security. Patsy Ramsey told reporters that the Atlanta residence lacked the many hiding places of their former Boulder home.
Tester: Polygraph results unexplained By Christopher Anderson Camera Staff Writer May 27, 2000
The polygraph examiner whose tests on John and Patsy Ramsey came up inconclusive says he can't explain the results.
Gerard Toriello, of Clifton, N.J., said Friday he conducted three tests on the couple in an Atlanta law office on April 17 and 18 - the first polygraph tests the Ramseys took.
The Ramseys underwent the tests six days after Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner Beckner announced his offer for the couple to take lie detector tests conducted by the FBI.
On April 17, Toriello tested John Ramsey for three hours. On April 18, he tested Patsy Ramsey for four hours and John Ramsey again for about two hours.
They were asked if they inflicted the injuries that caused the death of their daughter, JonBenét, in December 1996. The wording, Toriello said, was similar to that in polygraph tests the Ramseys later passed.
Toriello said all three tests he conducted came out inconclusive, based on a numerical score and using the "zone comparison" technique, the same type of test the couple later passed under a second polygrapher who re-tested the couple.
Asked why the tests were inconclusive, Toriello echoed what the Ramseys' attorney, Lin Wood, has been saying for three days: "If we knew what caused an inconclusive test, it wouldn't be an inconclusive test. We would be able to address that factor."
Reasons for inconclusive results can include anxiety, mental fatigue or physical fatigue, Toriello said.
He said both John and Patsy were taking Prozac when he administered the tests. Toriello said the medication can dull the galvanic skin responses during the test, but the results of the tests would not necessarily be affected.
The examiner can factor in the medication's affects when reviewing the charts, he said. The medication would not cause one response to be higher on one question and not on another, he said.
Toriello said he could not disclose the scores or the charts that accompany the test until Boulder police and prosecutors first have a chance to evaluate them.
After Toriello's tests, the Ramseys retook polygraph tests with Los Angeles polygrapher Ed Gelb. Patsy Ramsey's first test with Gelb had "artifacts," most likely because of her physical movement or animated gestures when answering questions, Wood said.
After three marred tests, the Ramseys went on to pass five polygraph tests by Gelb.
Those test results were quality-checked by San Diego polygrapher Cleve Backster, called the grandfather of modern polygraph techniques. Backster confirmed that the Ramseys passed the tests.
The Ramseys paid for all the tests. They say they want the Boulder police and the Boulder County District Attorney's Office to review the results.
Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner said police are willing to look at any information that could help the case, but the results will not remove the Ramseys from suspicion.
The couple refused to take polygraph tests administered by the FBI. Polygraphs are not admissible as evidence in Colorado courts, although they are used frequently by law enforcement agencies as an investigative tool.
In a Friday interview on Larry King Live, Gelb said his tests can only determine whether someone was attempting deception when answering questions. He said the tests are 95 percent accurate.
"I don't think a polygraph has anything to do with guilt or innocence," he said.
