I simply can't come up with ANY motive for the Ramseys to do it. Thy certainly WOULD NOT put the $118,000 in a note to point to themselves. Read the note as "I've been watching you. I know a lot about you."
Frankly, I see the note as being written before he went to the house that night on their paper etc. which means he was at the home before. If she was dead, there would be absolutely no sense in leaving the note behind.
Why leave the note?? He told us yesterday...he said her death was an accident. The note becomes evidence of that. He's very clever.
Hobbies per resume: writer/actor.
Go way back in his history to when he was a kid and we'll likely find that he was "queer". He's a geek, good looking and an introvert. Within a school or family situation he can function. Outside that, he can't.
I see the note as a direct link to Patsy, and here is why:
Don Foster, a Vassar College professor, "the top-most authority in the nation in textual analysis -- the same expert who had unmasked the anonymous author of the sensational best-seller Primary Colors and that the FBI had used to identify Theodore Kacznski as the Unabomber Hunter" was asked to study the note.
"The documents he studied from Patsy Ramsey, in his opinion, formed 'a precise and unequivocal match' with the ransom note. He read a list of 'unique matches' with the note that included such things as her penchant for inventing private acronyms, spelling habits, indentation, alliterative phrasing, metaphors, grammar, vocabulary, frequent use of exclamation points, and even the format of her handwriting on the page"....
It goes on to say that this should have been more than enough evidence for the grand jury to indict, but the DA's office refused to allow this information to be heard. I don't know enough about the politics of the case to understand why, but here is a link to the entire report:
