    It's been a while since one of the only real pieces of evidence has been discussed in the media.

    Thanks for posting this Little. Don't have the time to digest the posts much at the moment, but I can still read them to sidetrack me.

    You're right. It has been a while since the ransom note has been discussed, and it really is the most important piece of evidence. I would like to see someone from the FBI on CNN discussing the ransom note with John and Patsy Ramsey, wouldn't you? Can you see the Ramseys agreeing to this one?

    A discussion of the ransom note will result in a greater knowledge of its contents, and hence, a greater understanding of its author.

    Oops!

    A great read on this subject is A Mother Gone Bad by Andrew Hodges. I read this a couple of years ago and became 100% convinced of the RDI position. I don't know if it's been discussed here before - I'm sure it has - but Hodges analyzes the content of the note from a psycholinquistic position, rather than just the smoking-gun handwriting. In other words, he looks at hidden meanings of text.

    For instance, the use of percentages regarding the success of getting the kidnapped child back reflects cancer survivor rates, and scanning for electronic devices is evocative of cancer treatment.

    There are so many other things in the ransom note - "two gentlemen watching over your daughter" - Patsy used the phrase "two gentlemen" when she was writing an exemplar for the Boulder PD. The diacritical mark (caret) inserting "not" in the phrase "do not particularly like you" is something educated people use. Vocabulary - attache, faction, electronic. Alliteration - being beheaded, foreign faction. Miss Patsy like to alliterate.

    Best of all, SBTC Victory! Whatever SBTC stands for, Mrs. Ramsey also likes to use acronyms whenever possible. She has been known to sign off letters with PPRBSJ - meaning Patsy Paugh Ramsey Bachelor of Science in Journalism.

    Dr. Hodges' book is what convinced me of the Ramseys' guilt too, wombat. He also wrote a second book on the case, Who Will Speak for JonBenet, which was released about four and a half years ago.

    As far as the S.B.T.C here is my take on it-

    There is a period after the big S, there is a period after the big B, and there is a period after the big T but... there is no period after the big C.

    I think that pretty well sums it up.

    Huh?

    "There is a period after the big S, there is a period after the big B, and there is a period after the big T but... there is no period after the big C.

    There is no period after the big C as in there is no period after the Big C and a hysterectomy?!?!

    Good One!

    But we are still left with S.B.T.!

    I don't know about the lack of a dot after the C - maybe she was just finished, that's all.

    I'm so lost... I can't imagine that very much thought was put into SBTC...it was a bogus ransom note written in distress...deep thought prolly wasn't going into it. imo

    Hodges's books are great reading. Amazing Woody ignored both books whilst suing everyone in sight.

    Lin didn't sue Hodges? I thought perhaps he did because the books aren't exactly famous. Hodges' assessment of Patsy (and John) is subtly devastating - maybe they didn't understand it.

    "Hodges' assessment of Patsy (and John) is subtly devastating."

    I think that's worth repeating.

    Nope...Lin Woody never ever even mentioned one teeny tiny thing on Hodges!
    AND Hodges books were right out front in the major bookstores.


    JC...we ought to start a Hodges thread.

    Some interesting words on Patsy from Hodges.

    'Patsy was top dog.' comparing Patsy to her sibs and other women in general.
    How Patsy had to be the 'woman above the women' and so on.

    I could swear I've seen one already! Probably a really 'old' one! You might want to search before you start a new one.... just saying... you might be repeating what people have already said! :cool2:

    The article Little posted is the first I ever heard about this man, Show Me.

    Sorry JC, I misunderstood your post.

    Niner, will probably be this weekend before I research the umpteen million JB threads. Working too much and am brain dead when I get home. Your local library may have to request it outside your system, it's been a few years and most libraries are too small to keep multiple copies of older books.

    Hodges books are well worth the read, although the first one....'A Mother Gone Bad' or something similar, was the best. I believe the second had other medical professionals giving their opinion and wasn't as good as the first, although it had some powerful stuff in it.

    I'd love a Hodges thread but I feel I'm too "young" on this site to start one.

    PS. I'm sure people could get A Mother Gone Bad on Amazon and/or Ebay.
