Three quarters of America uses THAT in their speech. I don't know, but to me the note always reminded me of someone who was maybe in the low income range, attempting to word a ransom note to sound "bigger" than they really are, especially with the movie references used. It just was not put together well and definitely not a "real" ransom note. I think it was from someone who had never actually kidnapped anyone before but was going to make an attempt to get some cash out of them, then things went all awry and everything changed. The note was written before the crime, IMO. I think the Ramseys would not think to use movie references in staging a crime like this. Heck, I think if they killed her they way everyone says they did (in a fit of rage of wetting the bed, covering up for Burke, etc.) they would have done something else and if they did stage a kidnapping they would take her from the home so she could be found dead somewhere else, not in their home. I cannot see them sitting there in that house the majority of the day knowing she was down there dead and then not encouraging law enforcement to search the house thoroughly so that they(LE) could find her instead of John finding her. Just makes no sense to me.
If Patsy had done this because of some religious whatever that BMoon is always touting to us, she would have cracked by now. Most of the time people who do that, end up explaining WHY they did it, I guess in hopes of getting sympathy for their sacrifice or hoping for understanding of why they did what they did. No way could she have kept this to herself all these years, nor John for that matter, without having a breakdown or something.
Do you think that you could do it if your significant other, the love of your life, took the life of your precious child for some stupid reason as religious, etc.....Wouldn't you have so much anger build up in you over the years and hatred for this person for doing this to you and putting your family through hell with the police, media, and public, causing you to go bankrupt and lose everything practically and NOT crack??? No way! He would have already put her butt to the curb and left her out to the vultures and would see that she paid for her stupid mistake. But who knows, stranger things have happened, I guess. That is just what I think about it.
