JonBenet Ramsey

I do not know where to begin on this alleged kidnapping gone bad. This poor child was murdered in her own home by someone yet to be identified. This murder is unsolved so I find it questionable that anyone including the Ramsey's are no longer suspects.

The staged ransom note found by Patsy Ramsey on the kitchen staircase that morning was a deliberate attempt to send investigators on a wild goose chase wasting valuable time and resources. The investigators would have seen right through this "ransom note" ploy if they had examined and conducted a Forensic Statement Analysis on the alleged ransom note.

Second asking John Ramsey to look through the house to see if anything was missing was a huge mistake. That was the responsibility of law enforcement. Why? So you do not have the possibility of cross contamination and if something was found, as it was in this case. John Ramsey found JonBenet in the basement. John Ramsey walked, stepped over and picked up his daughter and brought her back up stairs. John Ramsey also removed the tape covering JonBenet mouth. This action contaminated the crime scene. Law Enforcement should have taken numerous crime scene photos of JonBenet and the surrounding area for any and all trace evidence before moving the body. I also find it very interesting that John Ramsey waited for the police to ask him to search the house, any reasonable person would have torn the house apart looking for his daughter and outside the house as well.

Even if you had a ransom note stating that your daughter was kidnapped you would still search the house in the hope that you may find something that would help the investigators.

JonBenet was found with her favorite blanket covering her. This alone should have red flagged an investigator something was wrong.

Rapists and or murders do not take the time to care about their victims in such a loving / caring fashion. This is a subconscious sign of guilt. They rape you, kill you and leave you in a ditch or at least try to hide the body.

For someone to cover the body in her blanket tells me that someone who knew and cared for JonBenet killed her and felt guilt after the fact. Also this blanket was just washed and was in the dryer, how did the kidnappers know where to look? I say kidnappers because the alleged ransom note states such. This is where the ransom note becomes a key piece of forensic evidence.

Document Examination:

I do not know what procedures were used when the document examiners acquired known handwriting samples called exemplars (formal/informal standards) of Patsy Ramsey and John Ramsey to compare with the ransom letter. From everything I have read many of the document examiners who rendered an opinion of the author of the ransom letter, never examined the original ransom letter. They conducted their examination from photo copies of unknown generation. This would be the first question a judge in a court of law would ask. If they did not examine the original ransom letter, their opinion would be dismissed unless they could explain why the original was not examined that would be accepted by the court. Also Patsy Ramsey was ambidextrous so I would imagine they required exemplars (formal standards) of Patsy Ramsey's known handwriting using her right and left hand.

I would hope they used a similar writing instrument that was used on the ransom letter a flair tip pen was used, so flair tip pen to flair tip pen. Written on the same paper and writing pad. All handwriting exemplars (informal standards) obtained from the Ramsey's should have been written in or near the time period of the ransom letter.

The most important procedure that a competent handwriting expert would ask before taking handwriting exemplars (formal standards) if either Patsy or John Ramsey were under the influence of alcohol, any prescription drugs or sedatives of any kind. All of these listed will alter a persons true handwriting.

There is the possibility that two people wrote the note in an attempt to disguise the handwriting of the true author of the ransom letter.

I would have taken this into consideration and had both John and Patsy Ramsey write the note together taking turns, if using the exact wording on a reproduced document is allowed by the state of Colorado. Many states will not allow exact wording, formal standards, used for comparison in questioned document case of this nature.

Ransom note

1. Mr. Ramsey,
2. Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent
3. a small foreign faction. We xx respect your bussiness
4. but not the country that it serves. At this time we have
5. your daughter in our posession. She is safe and unharmed and
6. if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to
7. the letter.
8. You will withdraw $118,000.00 from your account. $100,000 will be
9. in $100 bills and the remaining $18,000 in $20 bills. Make sure
10. that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you get
11. home you will put the money in a brown paper bag. I will call you
12. between 8 and 10 am tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The
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

22. etc., will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch you
23. talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you alert bank authorities, she dies
24. If the money is in any way marked or tampered with, she dies.
25. You will be scanned for electronic devices and if any are found, she dies
26. dies. You can try to deceive us but be warned that we are familiar
27. with Law enforcement countermeasures and tactics. You stand a 99%

29. our instructions and you stand a 100% chance of getting her back.
30. You and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the
31. authorities. Don't try to grow a brain John. You are not the only
32. fat cat around so don't think that killing will be difficult. Don't
33. underestimate us John. Use that good southern common sense of yours.
34. It is up to you now John!
35. Victory!
36. S.B.T.C"

Analysis:

Now let’s start off analyzing the first portion of the ransom letter. These psychopathic murders and rapists start off with:

Mr. Ramsey,

How polite these murders were. Lets look at the pronouns used in this portion of the ransom letter; "We" "we" "we" "our" and the collective noun "group." This would indicate that more than one person was involved in this crime. This is a very important piece of evidence when analyzing a statement for possible deception, the pronouns should remain consistent throughout the statement. If you are a "group" you will remain and keep a "group" mentality.

Changing pronouns in the JonBenet Ramsey alleged kidnap letter would indicate this alleged kidnapping was not committed by a group. If you are acting as a group you will continue to act and speak with a group mentality.  In examining the pronouns in the JonBenet Ramsey alleged kidnap letter, we find this crime was not committed by a group.  Your language will continually reflect there are several people involved. In the first paragraph, five times the writer used a plural pronoun. However, in lines #11 and #13, the writer used the singular pronoun "I." He/she should have written, "We will call you" and "We advised you to be rested." In line #17, he/she used the singular pronoun "my." Changing pronouns indicates deception. We can easily see this was not a group effort.

We also have two misspelled words "bussiness" and "posession." I find it interesting that they misspelled very easy words because the author of the ransom note wanted investigators to believe they were foreigners but these so called foreigners were very good with their punctuation.
Something people who study ESL have a hard time with or misuse. Kidnappers would not care about their punctuation.

The most damaging evidence found in this bogus ransom letter is the following unique words and statement,

The kidnappers state, "If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a  earlier delivery pick-up of your daughter." The word "hence" is not a common word that most people use, the kidnappers used "and hence" the word "and" is not needed. When investigators were analyzing known handwriting samples from Patsy Ramsey they found a Christmas message written on December 14, 1997. The First United Methodist Church in Boulder, Colorado held a memorial service for JonBenet. There was a Christmas message from the Ramsey family that statement had the following words.

"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"

What are the chances of two different personalities and one being a foreigner use the exact same wording.  

This ransom letter was staged by someone who wanted to confuse and interfere with a law enforcement investigation into the death of JonBenet Ramsey.

Kidnappers would be short and to the point such as;

"Ramsey we have your daughter get 500.000 by tomorrow or she is dead we will call you with instructions do not call the police or we will kill her"

Also their note would have been pre written before hand and they would have had a rape kit with everything they would have needed to commit the crime and not waist time looking for items around the house.

So based on the ransom note a "group" of kidnappers came in through a basement window yet cob webs were still in place in that same window. A group of kidnappers found JonBenet in her bed and took her downstairs and decided to sexually molest and then kill her. After the murder the kidnappers decided to go back up stairs spend time looking for a pen and paper and spend almost twenty minutes handwriting a two and a half page ransom note while everyone was still sleeping in their beds. They used Patsy Ramsey's note pad and her pen to write this note. They also used Patsy Ramsey's paint brush to make a wooden garrotte to strangle JonBenet. These first time kidnappers seemed to know their way around the Ramsey household quite well. Then they all went back down stairs and put a suitcase in front of the same window they came in from because they could not get back out? Why didn't one of the other kidnappers help push one another other back out the window? Again, all this going on, with a group of adults coming in and out the basement window and the cob webs were still intact on the outside window area. These cob webs would have been disturbed if someone had come in through the window.

Tell me something? Why not just go out the back door? Kidnappers would not waste all that time going in and out of a window they could not reach or had trouble reaching. So let’s make as much noise as possible trying to balance ourselves on a suitcase that might not be sturdy and fall over making unwanted noise. No one came in that window and no one went out that window. There was only one person involved in this murder, with the help of an accomplice or someone who knew what happened the night Jonbenet was killed.
