Do you think that the handwriting on this website - supposedly John Ramsey's - looks like the ransom note?
I believe it's some kind of deposition. It is signed by John Ramsey and is written in the first person.IrishMist said:Do we know exactly what this is? Some kind of court paper? I'm asking because whenever anything needs to be filled out around here, it's always me that does it, not the IrishMister.
My recollection of the lawyer's suit (which is very dim and may well be wrong) is it was Burke's lawyers sued the Ramseys in their capacity as executors of Burke's lawsuit awards. The Ramsey's contention was the charges were excessive. I don't remember what the final disposition was. I looked for this a couple years ago and couldn't find the documents. On the other hand I wasn't terribly motivated in my search.Jayelles said:You are correct - it's not a deposition at all. A memory is stirring in my mind from a previous discussion about this. I believe there was some lawsuit about (building?) work which the Ramseys refused to pay for and the contractor took them to court.
I wonder if anyone can throw some more light on this? Didn't the Ramsey lawyers also sue them for non-payment of bills?
Do you remember the builder suit? I'm sure I didn't imagine this. I have a feeling it pertained to work done during the remodelling of the Boulder house.tipper said:My recollection of the lawyer's suit (which is very dim and may well be wrong) is it was Burke's lawyers sued the Ramseys in their capacity as executors of Burke's lawsuit awards.

Could it be connected to the shower flood? That's the only thing that comes to mind at the moment.Jayelles said:Do you remember the builder suit? I'm sure I didn't imagine this. I have a feeling it pertained to work done during the remodelling of the Boulder house.
I'll see if I can find anything in the Elles archives.
Thanks for the explanation, BlueCrab. For reading the word 'defendant' in that paper really made me jump, lol!BlueCrab said:John's exemplars appear to be the legal Answer to a legal Complaint, whereby John is the defendant in a civil suit. The Plaintiff's Complaint and the Defendant's Answer are what gets the civil case rolling.
If you want to hear contrived as well as feel it, listen to Patsy's call to 911!kazzbar said:The handwriting looks to me like someone trying like hell to disguise their everyday normal writing.Lots of similarities but lots of differences too.Just feels contrived to me.
