John Ramsey and ransom note...

[AuDHD]

Though Steve Thomas doesn't speculate in his book that Patsy wrote the note to fool John, Thomas does say that John must have recognized his wife's writing mannerisms all over it. There are elements of the note that relate to John and which he acknowledged: a reference to his Atlanta Fat Cats club, his net 1996 bonus. There are things he was probably not aware of for some time, to wit, the S.B.T.C. sign-off from the open Bible on the desk in his third-floor study.

There are words taken from the Tom Clancy books John liked to read. In '98 the police asked Patsy if she read Tom Clancy. (The transcript spells it "Clancey.")

So my conclusion is that Patsy didn't write the note to fool John--or even the police in the long term. She wrote the note to implicate John.

i think it was intentionally lengthy and pointing at multiple family members in order to confuse investigators and make it hard to pin on any one Ramsey.

While Patsy likely penned the RN, John could have been assisting her. "Listen carefully!" could have been his instruction. He'd be used to dictating at the office.

The 118k may be a way of pointing to someone with whom JR worked? Professional jealousy and animosity was high on the Rs list of motives.

The FF is aware of the American South as a distinct region, and thus that John has relocated to CO.

If PR wrote the RN, how or why did JR consent or allow it to ever be seen?
He seems too intelligent to allow such an obviously fake note to be the foundation of the kidnap staging.

I think arrogance played part in the cover-up and they weren't too worried beyond setting up that someone else did it. I also suspect Patsy continued with the note after John thought it was done (maybe while he was in the shower).

This!⬆I think this is were legal advice began. Who could better help build a beyond a reasonable doubt scenario?

The RN was necessary to have something to say during the 911. Both are parts of the same scenario.

The Rs could not show up at the airport for the scheduled out of state flight without JonBenet. This flight imposed a deadline for the last reasonable time at which JB could be reported 'missing'. ("We have a kidnapping.")

Exactly also IMO JR's family enroute to 15th St imposed a deadline for JBR to be 'found'.
