i was just looking at the note from the ACR site. Obviously it is not a brilliant scan but I couldn't find a better resolution one with better contrast control.
Is this the scan from which people were claiming that the ransom note author wrote a french acute punctuation symbol over the final "e"?
because of the style of the author's Y's, as can be seen numerous times below the word "attache" on the first page of the note (e.g. in the phrase "I advise you" also on the first page), it appears that there is an accent over the word attache; but if we go by the scan on the ACR site alone, it appears there is no such accent at all. It's simply the trailing stroke of the "Y" in the word "you" above the letter "e" in attache.
Unless of course the accent in the original note was too faint to be picked up in the scan on the ACR site. But notice that the dots on all the "i"'s come out just fine.
