The whole story of the ransom note is ridiculous.
I am not even talking about the rambling text. I am talking about it's location on the stairs.
From Patsy's 1997 police interview:
PR: Okay. Um, we got up at about 5:30, I think. I think John got up first and I got up just right behind him and he went to his bathroom and shower. I went to my bathroom. I did not shower that morning and I just put my clothes on and uh, did my hair and makeup and uh and then I started down the stairs, John was still in the bathroom and went uh, I stopped kind of briefly there in the laundry room area um, and I remember the ironing board was up I think and I fussed around with this little red jumpsuit of JonBenet’s cause it had, had some spots on it and I was going to remember to do something with that when I got back and uh, so I had, I had the light on in there in the laundry room area and uh, um then I started down the spiral staircase there. I came, I had come back down, I’d come down the back bedroom stairs there. . .
TT: Okay.
PR: . . .from my bathroom. Um, I started down the spiral stairs and when I got nearly to the bottom I saw these three pieces of paper, like notebook size paper, on, on the run of the stairs and uh, I went on down and turned around and started reading, reading it. . .
TT: Um hum.
PR: And uh, I, I remember reading the first couple of lines and I kind of, didn’t know what it was or uh, and then I (inaudible) you know after the first couple of lines I, it dawned on me, it said something about, ‘We have your daughter’ or something . . .
TT: Um hum.
PR: And I uh, I ran back upstairs and pushed open the door to her room and she wasn’t in her bed.
TT: Okay.

The point here that makes it ridiculous is the fact that she claims to have seen the papers on the stairs, then continues down.
The first image is from the CBS reenactment of the crime scene that shows the location of the papers on the stairs as Patsy described.
The second image is a crime scene photo of the actual stairs.
Aside from the fact that these stairs look to be treacherous in their own right, compound that with the fact that it was mostly dark in the house.
The third image is a modern depiction of building code spacing of spiral staircases showing the spacing between steps. Not knowing the specifics of the Ramsey spiral staircase, it looks to be common and building codes need to be followed...consequently, it is pretty safe to assume that the stair spacing on those stairs is at least 8-9 inches, allowing for leeway.
So we are to believe that she jumped sixteen inches minimum down on a spiral staircase in near darkness to avoid touching papers on the stairs that she claimed she had no idea what they said until she turned around and read them....while she is still in remission from ovarian cancer.
