You are saying that Mr. Ramsey run to the basement, never had chance to review a ransom?
He never saw:
118,000
Him to receive the call between 8-10 am with the money in hand, nicely packed, and ready to get delivery instruction
Call might come even earlier
Two boggy gentlemen inside the group
Meeting face to face with the killers for delivery of money and pick up of daughter
The whole length of the ransom with personal touch to it,,,
He probably did, but he was probably more concerned that Patsy may have wrote a confession note instead of a ransom note. That's his real fear! That patsy may hand over a note to the police that says in line 20 "my husband killed my daughter. Please help me!!"
You question John not looking over the note....but you don't question why the intruder or his accomplices didn't look over it either?? The 3 page Ransom could also have a personal touch that points to the IDI killer's identity as well.
The note is ridiculous from both the RDI and the IDI perspective. Why would either John Ramsey or an experienced intruder write such a note without looking over it.
