Don't know if this is your personal analysis or not, but it is very enlightening.

I wish that you, and Rte66, would share your ideas/theories about what happened, why and who was responsible.

Got a year? LOL. I don't know who did it.

My first paragraph is just an intro to another web site. I had read about the "and hence" phrasing years ago and it convinced me that the parents were involved. The article that I link you to on my original post is a detailed dissection of the letter.
My personal belief is that the little girl wet her bed and Mrs. Ramsey flew into a fury. I don't think she intended to kill her daughter, but she lost control and did just that. She and her husband then covered up the crime.
