From the Blabbieville website, a Patsy Ramsey handwriting example is shown. However it is very curious. It is a picture of a woman holding her newborn baby (from what i can make out from the bad photocopy and scan)
The caption to the photo reads:
"This me when I was first born. That's my Mom and the doctor."
This is supposedly Patsy's writing.
However, Patsy would not refer to herself as "my Mom" and thus unless it is an ancient picture of Patsy's mom and the doctor, then it must actually be a picture of Patsy holding one of the children.
It is not a HUGE leap to suspect that there's been confusion here, and that this sample was actually a photo of Patsy holding Burke, and that Patsy had gotten Burke to write the caption (since Patsy has a penchant for the cute, some would say kitschy)
But compare the last page of the ransom note with the handwriting on this photo. Looks spookily similar doesn't it?
Apart from the a's, which have changed, everything else seems to match up. What struck me most was the correspondence between the capital I's. Note the very strong upper and lower marks on the capital I's.
