I agree. It's one thing to have an accident that IS an accident. You don't know how bad it is, and you call for help. It's another thing altogether to directly cause a terrible injury, even without intention. Because then it's YOUR fault. "I did that." But, as I think happened in Patsy's case, you're too self-absorbed or just too much of a perfectionist to admit it, to anyone else or yourself. You don't think she's still alive or that there's any hope. And even if there is, what kind of life will she have from here on? A wheelchair-bound invalid unable to feed herself for the rest of her life? She'll never win any pageants that way. And you could have a recurrence of cancer any time. And what if she does regain consciousness? What if she blabs what happened?
Add to that finding out that your baby was broken in another way, which adds a practical reason for a coverup.
I didn't mean to get so graphic, but I had to speak my mind.
If she fell or was pushed off the staircase she would almost certainly have other bruises and/or broken bones.
Exactly, SuperDave. When I watched the footage of the staircase and the description that it was a metal staircase with padded steps, I got a sinking feeling. The only reason not to call an ambulance is because her fall and blow to the head was caused by an aggressive action by someone in the home (my guess, Patsy). She would not call for help for all reasons you listed. Probably why they could live with themselves because they think it was an accident and wanted to cover it up. They must have been running on extreme emotions and no sleep and the note and staged abduction was their best idea.
Folks, I'm reading a book about J.R.R. Tolkien.
Early in his career, he & C.S. Lewis & other writers meet in a teahouse, and called themselves the Tea Club.
They moved their get-togethers to another restaurant, known as Barrow's Store, and used the name Barrovian Society.
Before too long they were using the initials T.C.B.S.
Was anyone in the household known to be a Tolkien fan???
The references to films are the weirdest part about the note. Would Patsy have time to be making cinematic references in a note just after the death of her daughter?
So we're looking for an unsophisticated daydreamer who watches a lot of movies? Amazing Randi has taught me to be skeptical of generic descriptions. Psychics play the generic description game all the time.
Who decides the level of education (social or otherwise) that makes someone sophisticated? Isn't someone who's striving to be an olympic athlete (even if they don't have a snowball's chance in hell) someone who can't separate fantasy from reality? What about the people who go to Vegas believing they'll win big? Don't those people have trouble separating fantasy from reality? Doesn't that description describe many, many people? There are even people who spend more on lottery than they can afford because they believe they'll win.
This description is a ruse. It might sound good on the surface, but is full of a psychic's tricks. I think we need to approach such generic descriptions with skepticism.
Could this be the real meaning of S.B.T.C?
The ransom note concluded with the single-word exclamation "Victory!" and was signed "S.B.T.C." Investigators are looking into whether those initials may stand for "shall be the conqueror." Other explanations have been proposed for those initials, including that they were a reference to the Subic Bay Training Center, a now-closed naval base where John Ramsey was stationed.
The ransom note clearly mentioned the word," A small foreign faction".
The Subic Bay Training Center, was located in the Philippines.:waitasec:

Compare the Ransom Note and Patsy Ramsey's handwriting, and be your own judge.
