Miles407, you have knocked the ball right out of the park, with your first post!miles407 said:I JUST PURCHASED A CELL PHONE 2 DAYS AGO. I HAD A LIGHTBULB MOMENT. SBTC ON YOUR PHONE PAD IS "7282". NOW GO BACK TO PHONE PAD. THE FIRST LETTER ON NO. 7 IS "P". THE FIRST LETTER ON NO.2 IS "A". THE FIRST LETTER ON NO.8 IS "T". THE LAST LETTER ON NO.2 IS "C". SBTC IS 7282 IS "PATC". A COINCIDENCE? MAYBE.
I just can't agree here. The randomness theory relating to the #'s and letters from a dial pad is a huge stretch. If you think that theory is plausible, then SBTC could have stood for anything you or anyone can think of.Miles407, you have knocked the ball right out of the park, with your first post!
I think you have solved the mystery.

Why cant it be? I think the whole notion is a stretch at best..I cant believe what you guilties come up with as signficant or "telling"..do you really think she looked at the phone and decided what to sign in a ransome note-I dont get it.Charlie said:WOW....that cant be a coincidence
Actually, it may be a "stretch", but given how very hard I tried to make it an IDI.....there are lots in this case of sleuthing that can be considered a "stretch"!newtv said:Why cant it be?

No I think it could be something she was aware of long before that fateful night. It would not surprise me if she doodled PATC on her school notebooks, the same way I doodled SAN-D on mine.newtv said:Why cant it be?

Good one.Pocono Sleuther said:but this one rings true to me.
Great catch!!
Very interesting, what a clever mind you have miles407... but I think to say it means Patsy for sure is a bit of a stretch, sometimes a coincidence is just that, a coincidence. That is one of the problems with the investigations/speculations made about this case thus far. People become so intent on being loyal to/investments made in one theory, that they cannot see other details clearly, they begin to see mere coincidence as "evidence," seeking out those "facts" which confirm their pet theory, throwing out the rest. Along these lines, as Jacobi has suggested, the letters could be turned into any number of names depending on what "logic" on uses in their numerology pattern and what rose coloured glasses (theory) one is looking through. Its a bit like those fortune telling numerology articles in the back of Cosmo, you add up your birthday, year, and month and the corresponding number gives you your fortune or "insights" into your personality. Trouble is, if you read all of the fortunes/"insights" you'll find parts of your life/personality in all of them.Jacobi said:if you add a 6 it becomes 72682 or SANTA!
Really? Why? I'm interested in your thoughts on this....pleeeeease?SuperDave said:I think I'll abstain from this one.
I thought it was an original thought, something I haven't seen on this forum for a while, so good onya Miles!newtv said:Why cant it be?
