Actually, you interpreted my post wrong (Post #34). The two statements I referred to were:
- The quote from your previous post, at the top of post 34, and
- PR's quote.
The emphasis on PR's statement was that there were at least two. That meant, IMO, that she left it open as to almost any circumstances. You're reading in too much.
HOTYH, I believe that it was you who was reading in too much by speculating that the killer Patsy mentioned could have confided in other killers (from your post: "Sorry, but these are two different statements. One has the killer plus one or more confidants. The other has at least two people, and does not specify if the extra people would be more killers or more confidants.")
Let's stick to what Patsy said. What Patsy did
not leave open is that she spoke of
the killer in the singular, referring to JB's killer. And it is the word 'confide' which does not add up with the foreign faction scenario.
Members of a terrorist group need not 'confide' in each other when they have committed a murder because murders are on their agenda as 'business as usual'.
The ransom note author spoke of 'we', and the group was composed of at least three people: the RN author and the 'two gentlemen' watching over JB.
So per the ransom note, there was no lone killer.
But Lou Smit said: "if it was not the Ramseys, it was an intruder". Notice the singular:
an intruder? Smit obviously never believed in the 'foreign faction' either.
Holdontoyourhat, you seem to be the only poster here who actually believes in the existence of the 'small foreign faction'. I always had the impression that not even IDI posters believe that this foreign faction ever existed, but maybe I'm wrong.
Therefore my questions to all IDIs ("Intruder(s) did it") on this board:
1) Do you really believe the ransom note was written by the 'small foreign faction'?
In case the reply is "no":
2) If not, the ransom note obviously was a faked note. Who do you think wrote the faked note then and
3)
why did this person/these persons write the faked note?
