There's a lot more in that note that suggests that Karr wrote it. His punctuation for one thing, the use of exclamation marks in particular. He hasn't changed the style from the old days...he keeps to the old friendly letter format.

He's sarcastic Don't try to grow a brain John....and that attitude shows up in the yearbook in (unlike your loving sister).

Then there's the words themselves....Talking about bad things that happened, Karr writes: "Blurred by my own eyes" in the yearbook.

Suwart said the suspect described the encounter as "a blur". That's a very unusual word to describe a murder scene.

Bet "blur" is a favorite word of his just like he uses exclamations much more freely than most of us would.

Wonder what the odds are on a LONG, carefully punctuated ransom note with a lot of exclamation points and "Victory" at the end.
