Exactly. There is only one reason that a person with the intent to kidnap someone for ransom and that is because their only real purpose of kidnapping that someone is for money. If their intent was to kidnap someone so they could molest them and play sicko perverted torture "games" with them, they don't intend to give that someone back... they will either run away with that person in hopes of keeping them permanently (as was the case with the kidnapping of Steven Stayner), they will eventually kill the person and dump the body, or they will leave that person somewhere where someone will eventually find them and get them home while they make their getaway. I'm certain (personally, that is) that this is the reason the FBI is convinced that the ransom note was written as a ruse to point toward an intruder.
In order for an intruder theory to hold up, one would have to believe that the intruder's intention was to eventually give JonBenet back for money, and in order to believe that, one would also have to believe that they didn't want to get caught in the act so they could collect the ransom. If this intruder was a child molester (which is pretty irrefutable in order to believe the intruder theory), and they were so "turned on" once they had seen JBR and taken her from her bed that they molested her before removing her from the house, it would have been a quickie session in order to temporarily satiate themselves because the longer they stay in the house, the greater their risk of getting caught... there would have been no elaborate drawn out molestation with perverted strangulation, no drawing of a heart on the hand, no Barbie nightie at the scene to do with whatever their perverted fantasies dictated, no time spent constructing a garrote with the tools at hand.
An intruder who's intent was to kidnap her would want to get her out of the house as quickly as possible... once they're off with her and considers they're safe, there is all the time in the world to do whatever perverted and repulsive things they want. To kidnap her for any reason with the least risk of getting caught would be to get her and get her out as quickly as possible. If the intruder was so bold as to go through the house, find which room was hers, take her from her bed, and take her back downstairs, they are certainly bold enough to walk out the door with her. An intruder bold enough to do all these things they would have had to have done in order to get her back to the basement (which would risk being caught by a family member who would have known they were in the house for a sinister reason) NOT be bold enough to remove her from the house by just walking right out the door with her where they MIGHT be seen by someone who would have no idea that they had no business having her with them.
One could argue that if they were so bold enough to break in, move through the house, take JBR from her bed, etc. than they would also be bold enough to do their evil deads in all their disgusting and time consuming glory right there in the house. BUT, then there would have been no reason to leave a ransom note because as said in the beginning, the only reason to kidnap someone for ransom is because of the money, which would mean the overriding need to get the victim out of the house without being caught.
It's always been the ransom note (even regardless what it said) that has been the single factor that made me believe right from the beginning that someone in the Ramsey family was guilty of something in JBR's murder. I still have a very difficult time believing that either JR or Patsy put the garrote on their daughter and pulled it tight or bashed her head so hard, so my theory is that they were covering up for something ELSE that would have been discovered about them or someone ELSE who did those things. I always found it odd that either JR or PR would even know what a garrote was or knew how to fashion and employ one, but certainly, stranger things have happened.
I believe that just as the FBI does that the ransom note was staging to point to an intruder... but it was over-staging just as the mombo sized panties was over-staging.
The mombo panties also lead me to believe that the cover up had to do with sexual molestation, which did occur, many experts claim had been occurring for some time by someone, and one or more of the Ramsey's knew about it.
There is simply no reason whatsoever to leave a RANSOM note other than to point away from the Ramsey's and toward an intruder. No real kidnapper-for-ransom writes and even DRAFTS the ransom note AFTER they've gotten into the house and with the occupants' own pen and paper. It is absolutely clear that the ransom note was an afterthought once the alleged intruder got in the house, therefore, it was never their intent to kidnap JBR for ransom. WHOEVER wrote the ransom note knew it was ruse, and a ruse with the INTENT of pointing toward an intruder... which an intruder would have no reason whatsoever to do.
This said, the answer to the question "why would an intruder leave a ransom note that points to an intruder" is that THEY WOULDN'T.
