When I look at this crime, I see an offender who is very controlled and controlling. I suggest the "Ransom" note has more in common with a terrorist threat than a demand for a ransom payment. NoteWriter focused his efforts on creating the imagery he wanted John Ramsey to see and attempted to control how John would act and feel after discovery of the note.

What I believe NoteWriter is saying is, "Listen John, me and some other guys represent the interests of a foreign faction. It has nothing to do with you or your business. It's a political matter, so from one business man to another, just do as I say, and you'll get your daughter back no problem...

(NoteWriter is immediately giving John a great deal of hope that this isn't personal, it's just about the money, and he'll be able to get his daughter back safe and sound as long as he allows himself to be completely controlled by NoteWriter.)

...I want you to believe I really do want money so I'm including the extraneous information about the size of the attache, denominations, and a warning on tampering with the money. What I really want is you to figure out the appropriate size of case to take to the bank, bring the money back and put it in a paper bag, and sit there and wait. I want you to believe that your every move is being watched and to believe I may call at any moment. While you are waiting, John, here are some things I want you to think about: a couple of the guys DO have a grudge against you, after all, and they may kill her at any moment by chopping her head off. You won't even get the body back. Not only that, but the delivery is going to involve a long, drawn-out process wherein you will meet some very dangerous and saavy characters who are going to check you for electronic tracking devices. You're the only one who can save her, John, and one false move will put your daughter's blood on your hands. You'll have no one to blame but yourself. Oh, and while you're at it, it's going to be a long, extremely stressful day, so get some rest."

I suggest that the offender knew beforehand that he was going to murder John Ramsey's daughter and leave her in the house. For an unknown reason, the offender relished the thought of John waiting by the phone with his sack of money envisioning the terror and responsibilities ahead of him, all the while knowing JonBenet was dead and still in the house.
