OK maybe I'll accept there's no SFF. I'm just curious, though, how was SFF ruled out? Scientifically, statistically, specific evidence, or what?
Was it because the ransom note specifically stated SFF and we're too smart to believe that silly bogus unprofessional ridiculous amateurish ransom note? Maybe if the ransom note said 'we are NOT sff' then someone would believe it?
Sorry but I missed the whole rationale behind excluding SFF. I'm sure it was both thorough and poignant.
It's only a paradox if you want it to be.
Like I told Amy Noel, that may be the key right there.
Everybody getting all of this, or am I just talking to myself?
Bingo! Fall guy for John the sex offender... IMO:twocents:Without it, all you have is a dead girl in her own house with sexual injuries. - SD
hmmm.
I've always considered, maybe that's what the Ramseys found that night, and PR rather than perp, is the protector and the fall guy.
Actually, no, some women will protect their man, no matter how bad he is over their child, especially when it comes to sexual abuse. Mothers often don't believe their children. In my case, my mother chose to believe her brother not capable of such a thing over her own daughter...If that is so, and it very well may be so, you have to ask who she took the fall for. I really don't think she'd do that for a husband who had sexually molested and then killed their daughter. Not without there being something that could be pointed back at her. As far as I am concerned, a mother would take a fall like that for one person- her child.
What I said was "No one, not the R's, not Smit, not any LE agency ever believed that a SFF ever wrote the RN." You need to ask them why they don't believe there ever was a SFF. I don't have the official report that you are always looking for, but I have read that the FBI eliminated the SFF theory as staging. What I do know is that if the R's or Smit ever believed it really was a SFF, they would still be shouting this from the rooftops. Other than profiler's looking at the RN some years ago, you never read anything about a SFF these days.
I totally agree with your description of the RN though.

Snipped for space. No, Super, you aren't talking to yourself. I'm getting it. Keep on keeping on.
Kidnappers and other criminals seldom TELL THE TRUTH in something like a ransom note.
Dear Family and FBI,
I am a 30 something, sexually frustrated individual who could not resist breaking into your home and kidnapping your daughter. You have money and I'd like you to share it with me. Please get 118,000.00 together and I'll return your daughter unharmed. Of course I don't want to commit tax evasion so here is my SS# so the proper amount of taxes can be taken out. I have 2 dependents and this will be my sole income for the year.
Yes when monkeys fly out my hind quarters.
A ransom note in itself is not going to give away TRUE information about the motives or who the kidnapper is. A person would have to be very naive to BELIEVE the information revealed about the kidnapper in the ransom note. In fact quite the opposite. Instead of being a foreign faction it was more likely a lone American. The opposite of what the note says. If you are being watched most likely in any situation, not just some RN warning, who ever is watching you isn't going to tell you "you are being watched". The best way to observe someone and catch them doing something- from cheating on their wives/husbands to seeing if they call the police is to not make them aware they are being watched. This way they don't go to any lengths to disguise what they are doing. Telling someone you are watching them is just about certain you are not being watched. Believing ALL ( the stuff that reveals who, what and why, The "personal" information that could be used to identify a suspect) the RN is something only something a very naive person would do.
Or a person who wanted to throw so many hints that one of them might stick. Too bad the biggest hint was the handwriting. Has anyone here NOT seen the exemplars where Patsy's "Q" is exactly like the RN? It is a most unusual way of making that letter- looks like a figure 8.
Filicidal parents don't write fake ransom notes. Its never happened.
