However, according therealac " to Reddit poster Patsy was rinsing a stain out of JonBenet's dress or blouse IIRC before going downstairs and seeing the note. John was in the shower when Patsy woke up IIRC. Their hands would have been freshly washed."

according BPD Officer Robert Whitson Prints on RN . According searchinGirl , “I asked John Ramsey for a sample of his and Patsy’s handwriting. He gave me two notepads. One was a sample of Patsys writing and the other a sample of his writing. I did not examine the notepads. I wrote Patsy and John at the top of their respective notepads. This was another crime scene mistake. I did not realize these notepads would become critical pieces of evidence and I was not wearing gloves when I accepted them. Later I was told my fingerprints were found on the notepads.” (Whitson & Smith, 2012:11). to Reddit poster, “I asked John Ramsey for a sample of his and Patsy’s handwriting. He gave me two notepads.

An online poster who was given the moniker "Nancy" by Internet poster Jameson, confessed on-line to having written the RN as part of a book project (she denied having anything to do with JBR's death as the note purportedly was written 1-1/2 years before the killing). She also went by the names of "No7ThirdPlace” and “I KNOW” in on-line postings. See acandyrose.com for details.

John Ramsey as RN Writer

JR Handwriting Exemplars. One small sample of John Ramsey's handwriting has been posted on-line.

Evidence John Ramsey is Not the RN Writer

All six experts cited in the Carnes opinion (see Patsy Ramsey discussion above) "agreed that Mr. Ramsey could be eliminated as the author of the Ransom Note. (SMF P 194; PSMF P 194.)" (Carnes 2003:26).

Four of these experts were hired by Boulder LE and two by the Ramseys. The unanimity of their findings is difficult to counter unless one argues there was some sort of conspiracy. Given the extended antipathy between the Ramseys and Boulder LE, this seems quite improbable.

Evidence John Ramsey is the RN Writer

Brugnatelli Analysis. Dr. Fausto Brugnatelli claims to be a certified expert in handwriting analysis, document examination and handwriting evaluation. His analysis concludes that the note likely was written by John Ramsey.

Brugnatelli analysis Bagget Analysis . Bart Bagget claims to be an internationally reknowned handwriting expert and founder of Handwriting University.com. His analysis is that John Ramsey is the likely RN writer, but concedes there is relatively little known JR handwriting available for comparison.

Bagget analysis DocG Analysis . Internet poster docG has posted a comparison of JR's handwriting here and a written analysis of the note here . He concludes John is the writer. See Johnisms at DocG's Solving the JonBenet Ramsey Case.

here here Johnisms Note that he also showed how an exemplar he once thought was John Ramsey's had similarities to the RN; he later found out this writing sample was written by Nancy; see his original analysis at The Moving Finger and his acknowledgement of this error at Innocent Little Nancy -- OR -- "Moving Finger" Upd... .

Burke Ramsey as RN Writer

Burke's handwriting did not match the RN (source?).

Internet poster Cypros argues that the language in the note was far too sophisticated to have been crafted by even a very intelligent 9-year old.

Others Who Could Not Be Eliminated

Overview

Carnes Opinion . "Other experts believe the Ransom Note may have been authored by other people. In addition to Mrs. Ramsey, there were other individuals "under suspicion" who had their handwriting analyzed and who were not eliminated as the possible author of the Ransom Note. (SMF P 205; PSMF P 205.)" (Carnes 2003:30).

(SMF P 205; PSMF P 205.)" (Carnes 2003:30). Hunter Deposition. Former DA Alex Hunter videotaped a deposition in the Wolf v. Ramsey case on November 27, 2001; according to Internet poster Jameson, parts of this deposition are under seal. However, the deposition was referenced in the videotaped deposition of Gideon Epstein May 17, 2002 which has been made public. (In this section, which begins on p. 165, line 22, the questioner is James Rawls:) Q. And from Alex Hunter's perspective, you also understood that there were other individuals under suspicion who were not eliminated; correct? A. That's what I understand, yes. Q. Who were not eliminated as the author of the ransom note. A. I understand that, right.

Bud Henderson

According to Internet poster Athena in PMPT, "p181 Henderson's handwriting similar and no DNA ever taken because Harmon was working on it and she left the case and no one followed up." (This appears to be a paraphrased reference to paperback version of Schiller).

http://www.acandyrose.com/s-bud-n-sandra-henderson.htm

According to Internet poster Athena "In his own book, Thomas states that

McReynolds handwriting was similar but he did not believe he had anything to do with the murder because of his disability." (This appears to be a paraphrased reference; no specific page number provided).

According to Internet poster Athena, "According to PMPT p166 - Merriman's [sic] handwriting was so close they believed he wrote the note but did not kill JBR" (This appears to be a paraphrased reference to paperback version of Schiller).

Glenn Meyers

According to Internet poster Athena, in PMPT "p182 - Glenn Meyers handwriting was was similiar;" (This appears to be a paraphrased reference to paperback version of Schiller).

John Andrew Ramsey

An anonymous poster has argued: "the classmates of one John Andrew Ramsey are known to have said he was "obsessed" with JBR and many initially suspected him. Additionally, if indeed JBR was experiencing chronic sexual abuse, JAR would have been the most stastically likely perpetrator of that abuse (adult known to the victim with frequent but irregular access). Now, I am not at all saying JAR murdered JBR; his alibi is obviously rock solid. However, it could be that he authored the note as part of a fantasy that he may or may not have planned to ever actually enact, and that Burke was aware of the note (perhaps because he either participated in or knew of JAR and JBR's "games"). Heck, maybe it was in that suitcase along with the Dr. Seuss book and the semen-stained blanket. It's even possible that the garrote was another sex-game implement fashioned by JAR prior to the murder." Note, however, that JAR has been officially cleared by Boulder LE authorities.
