Someone breaks into a home, writes a ransom note, throws away the first draft, rewrites the ransome note, kills the child and hides it in the basement?

To what end was the ransom note?

Kidnappers do just that....they kidnap.

Nothing in this case ever pointed to anyone outside that home.

Why are you assuming the person who did that was sane? Is it not possible that someone who is sexually aroused by and kills little children might just be a wee bit insane?

The investigation was botched to begin with...the original investigators never looked beyond the parents. The crime scene was not properly supervised. There was error after error. This teacher was from Georgia; I wonder if he knew this child. I keep hearing this guy has confessed. The ranson note could have been written in order to confuse the police. This guy could have planned to take Jon Benet, and killed her accidentally who knows?
