Missing 2 and making that a 4.5 out of 5, or a long shot, is not possible no matter what you do with the numbers. 2 out of 26 cannot equal 4.5.
However, 24 out of 26 can equal (24 divided by 26 = 92.3% and 92.3% of 5 = 4.6) 4.5 out of 5. Do the math. Someone has rearranged the numbers and tried to make them work to their advantage.
Patsy scored 4.5 out of a possible 5, making her an extremely high probabilty for a match. And what's more she scores 5 out of 5, for a linguistic match. Therefore it is safe to conclude that Patsy wrote the ransom note. Hands down, no argument.
That means that one of those Ramseys did the dirty deed BECAUSE mommy dearest would not write the note for a total stranger, now would she.
Over time I have come to the conclusion that the only person an individual as self-centered as PR would protect, would be herself.
