Holy Cow! Your kidding!Nuisanceposter said:Patsy more or less admitted to writing the practice note when she told one of her friends (I forget who, it's in ST's book) that she had written the one that started "Mr and Mrs" and then a line like an I that may have been the start of an R. She said she was writing an invitation that began "Mr and Mrs Ramsey invite you..."
Very odd.
I laughed out loud! I should have known you would have "all the good stuff" marked! I think I LOVE You, Nuisanceposter! Thank You!Nuisanceposter said:I'll start looking for the friend's name and page number. I'm pretty sure it was in ST's book, but it could have been PMPT. I'll find it, though, I have all that good stuff underlined, circled, arrows pointing to it, etc.
Steve Thomas's book is the best. It has inside information you can't find anywhere else.

Pam said Patsy had told her that it was the beginning of an invitation she ws writing: "Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey...invite you..." By then there was a rumor that the cops believed this writing was a false start on the ransom note. If what Pam said was true, it was important to the police.
Moments after I heard what Coffman had learned, I left a message for Thomas on his voicemail. He called me back from his car, and I told him what Coffman had learned. I literally heard Thomas hit the brakes.
"Jeff, that's no ****in' invitation."
Hi Nuisanceposter. I did not know that. You know, is there any doubt. The two of them are just nuts. I truly believe she did this thing and wrote the note. But why not keep some semblance of a low profile. Why be all over the place for the first five years after the murder.Nuisanceposter said:Patsy more or less admitted to writing the practice note when she told one of her friends (I forget who, it's in ST's book) that she had written the one that started "Mr and Mrs" and then a line like an I that may have been the start of an R.

I could see them responding because they are trying to keep themselves out of jail. But they do so much.

I don't think you're wrong at all. We see this fact over and over again in Patsy's life and behavior. She was a beauty queen, after all. She LIVED for the spotlight.angelwngs said:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.....I could be wrong, but I think Patsy really enjoyed being in the spotlight....
you're right, until she was in the spotlight for murdering her daughter or being involved in a cover-up.southcitymom said:I don't think you're wrong at all. We see this fact over and over again in Patsy's life and behavior. She was a beauty queen, after all. She LIVED for the spotlight.
This is horrible to say but even in interviews when she was viewed as a prime suspect (or politically correctly, when she had not been ruled out as a suspect)...she seemed to 'take over' the spotlight. It often seemed as if John couldn't get a word in for her flamboyantly going on and on and on......ellen13 said:you're right, until she was in the spotlight for murdering her daughter or being involved in a cover-up.
