Dishonorable Mention:
John and Patsy Ramsey
Their MAIN ACHIEVEMENT FOR 2002 was: Faking yet another home intrusion. This time, in February 2001, John seems to have concocted up a wild story about a well-dressed, light-skinned, soft-spoken African-American man (who has come to be known as "Hyphen Man") who broke into the Ramseys' Atlanta home in broad daylight.
The elaborate security system was set to "Off" -- again! (DOH!) The "intruder" wandered around in the home aimlessly for a while, encountered John returning from a world record 10-minute round trip to Home Depot, and John shadow-boxed with the guy for a while. Somehow poor John ended up being tossed in a bathroom by the "intruder" who TIED THE DOOR SHUT WITH A JACKET (OR WAS IT A ROPE?). John -- momentarily forgetting that bathroom doors open INWARD -- stayed in the bathroom for a while, presumably reading a copy of "Intruders Monthly", and then realized he could just walk out of said bathroom.
He calls 911, and within two minutes 20-25 police cars arrive, but yet another Ramsey intruder vanishes into thin air, and promptly retires from the home intrusion business after making their last stop at a Ramsey mansion which has an unused security system.
Meanwhile, Patsy arrives on the scene after-the-fact, does her best Blanche DuBois/Scarlett O'Hara imitation (this after all is Atlanta), fans herself, announces to the assembled media "Oh Lad, I shore do feel faint" and demands a mint julep from the police officers.
Next day, John goes down to the cop station to -- get this -- COOPERATE WITH THE AUTHORITIES! DOH! What a concept, but 5 years too late! They humor him, a sketch artist comes up with a funny cartoon which becomes known as SketchMan #2 and apparently is created for the sole purpose of keeping the original Ramsey psychic-drawn SketchMan #1 company, and the case promptly goes into yet another "unsolved Ramsey home intrusion" file.
The only question is: What will they come up with in 2002?? Will Patsy play the title role in "The Delta Burke Story"? Will John Ramsey play the title role in "The Dick Cheney Story"? Will they both play themselves in a Broadway musical based on their lives? Will they EVER confess?
