Didnt PR state that she always used the spiral staircase to go up to the other floors? if so then would she not have gone up those same stairs that night when she supposedly went to bed?

One does forget some of their "habits" when attempting to stage a crime. People are creatures of habit.
Does anyone know where the writing pads were located before John handed them over to the police?
The reason I ask is because of this discussion during Patsy's interrogation...
The photo John Ramsey had taken of the wet bar area, also showed a table near it. On it, were two white lined legal pads. One of them had been used to write the ransom note. It was the same pad that contained Patsy's doodles, other writings and the so-called practice ransom note.
TH: ...Like I say, this was on your roll of film and it's not exactly the same photograph that was taken by the police.
PR: Uh huh.
TH: And this legal pad that you -
PR: Right.
TH: - identified -
PR: Right.
TH: - do you know when that would have been in that position?
PR: No. So this, this was taken before...?
TH: Before the police photos...do you recognize that pad...?
I could be in a memory lapse here so if Im incorrect please forgive me, didnt Patsy say that she always used the spriral staircase to access the upstairs? if that is true then she would have gone up that staircase that night after returning from the Whites and yet in the morning when she first saw the note she said she thought (pg11 DOI)"whats this? I wonder. I turn to look at 3 pieces of paper on a step near the bottom. I bend over. Must be a note from the cleaning lady, Linda, I think. Probably reminding me she needs to borrow twenty five hundred dollars. I must leave a check on the kitchen counter before we leave" Now if Pasty used that staircase the night before to get upstairs when did she think Linda would have left a note? it wasnt there when she went upstairs?Nehemiah said:Hi Terralee, Probably so....why do you ask?

Great question, K777angel. Here, let me help. We know the intruder didn't exit through the basement window because of the chair blocking the door to that room. So, even if he managed to enter the house that way, without disturbing the spider web nor the window sill, and then found the chair and used it to block that room (uh, why would he do this, by the way?), the chair's final position proves he didn't exit using that route. (See the Smit/John Ramsey discussion in the NE Police Files book, pages 313-314.)K777angel said:So just WHEN do you IDI theorists think the 'intruder' placed that note on the stairs?
