More things I found interesting that the Ramsey's said.:

((((A door to the outside appeared to be broken in to. The Ramsey's tried to say that it was evidence of an intruder,
yet Linda Hoffmann stated clearly it happened months before and she handed the plate to PR to get the door fixed.))))

"1999 February 18 - Lawrence Schillers book "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town
Page 405:
"The second addendum to the search warrant noted that when Sgt. Whitson first arrived at the Ramsey house,
he noticed what seemed to be a pry mark on the door jamb. The damage are 'appeared to hae been less weathered
than the surrounding surfaces on the door and door jamb,' the document said."
"The Ramseys' attorneys were quick to point out in a press statement that the documents contained nothing to
incriminate their clients. Hal Haddon said it was "significant" that people close to the investigation had
not leaked information that was exculpatory to the Ramsey family, such as the pry mark. He also provided the
media with a photograph of the door jamb, which the police had seen on December 26, and said, "The material
released today demonstrates substantial evidence of an intruder."
"The next day, the Rocky Mountain News published the 5 x 8 inch photograph alongside a story that quoted
Haddon as saying that important evidence of an intruder had been withheld from the public."
"The Ramseys' former housekeeper, Linda Hoffmann-Pugh, was surprised to see both the picture and
Haddon's statement. The photograph showed the spot where a protective metal plate on the door jamb
had fallen off months before the murder. She had seen the plate become looser until one day it fell off,
revealing the same marks that she now saw in the photograph. Hoffmann-Pugh had taken the plate to Patsy,
who wasn't concerned enough to have it replaced. The detached plate had sat on a shelf in the hallway
near the kitchen. Now Hoffmann-Pugh wondered if the police had discovered it and made the connection."
((((((Wow does this ring any bells? Is this possibly how PR and JR wrote the note? Him speaking and her dictating?)))

John and Patsy Ramsey book
"Death of Innocence"
DOI (HB) Page 234:
"John and I wrote message of appreciation to our friends to be printed on the back of the liturgy of the day.
We thanked the people for their support through the past year and expressed how much their love had meant
to us. We also commended on the meaning of the Christmas season and why it was important to remember
the real season we celebrate this time of the year. In composing this expression of appreciation, John
and I had each written a version. With both copies in hand, John dictated and I typed at the computer
as we merged the two into one. Later Susan Stine and Roxy Walker made a few edits as they type it into the
liturgical program. This edited version included the phrase and, hence. Those two words turned out to
be the next bombshell!"
"Actually, I have no idea why we used that phrase. Maybe we'd seen it so many times in reading the ransom
note - and having to write it over and over again for the police - that it became a part of our
own subconscious vocabulary. Who know? Then again, maybe people everywhere use the phrase and,
hence everyday of the week, because it's a normal part of the English language. The fact we used any
set of words in our statement meant nothing more than an attempt to convey our personal feelings at the
moment we were writing."
