- The slipknots and garrote were both sophisticated bondage devices designed to give control to the user. Carnes wrote, "these devices suggest they were made by someone with expertise using rope and cords."
The wooden garrote was, in fact, fashioned from the handle of one of Patsy Ramsey's paintbrushes. I, for one, can't imagine an intruder foraging stealthily around a house looking for tools of torture. Nor can I fathom a kidnapper leaving a 3 page ransom note written with one of the Ramsey's Sharpies, on their notepad. This "intruder" came extraordinarily ill-prepared, or was so cheap he was compelled to use just what happened to be on hand.
Or....it wasn't an intruder. This Karr guy has demonstrated himself as a nutcase and dangerous. He may even have some indirect knowledge of the case beyond his obsession gained through the news. But, I just can't believe he was the murderer.
And put the Sharpie right back in the pencil holder it came from, too, lol.
I don't believe Karr, either. Maybe the spotlight will help flush out some undesirables from their hidey-holes, tho. That's the hope, anyway.
