I've been thinking about how he could have possibly known enough about the family to have written the ransom note and asked for a ransom equal to the exact amount of the dad's bonus check. I came up with the possibility that he had been stalking the family, and possibly gained entrance to the home and spent some time there before the actual murder.

That may be plausible, but there are other areas of the ransom note that need explanations, like the Ramsey's usage of the phrase "and hence" duplicated exactly in the ransom note.

More importantly, an examination of the author's writing style shows us that whatever comes before the phrase "and hence" comes after the phrase "and hence."

13. delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we

14. monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to

15. arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a earlier

16. delivery pickup of your daughter.

We see the same writing style in the Ramsey's Christmas message.

"Had there been no birth of Christ, there would be no hope of eternal life, and, hence, no hope of ever being with our loved ones again."

So, the Ramsey supporters would have us believe that the Ramseys not only adopted the word "hence" they also adopted the phrase "and hence" and they also adopted the killer's writing style! Possible but not probable.

I thought that the ransom note was copied from the book that Patsy Ramsey was reading, that was found on her night stand.

"and hence"

I didn't know that previously.  "and hence" is bad grammar and although even educated people use bad grammar all the time, it is a very unusual combination. Whoever wrote this could have used "and" or "hence" by itself and not altered the meaning at all.

Damn, now I'm an 'expert' witness... If FoxNews calls me to fill air this weekend, I'm giving them your name. ;-)

And hense.......

Not only "and hense", but also the similarity of the handwriting. Wish I could find the comparison......I remember seeing somewhere, years ago, Patsy's writing and the note, side by side. I believe the "y"s were almost identical.

Patty Ramsey used correct grammar and punctuation in her Christmas card. The ransom note is full of errors.
