I think it might be best to compare the two immediately preceeding posts together.

One post points out that the note could have been ten words long and still communicated the same message.
one post points out that John Ramsey, if the intended target, was there asleep and could have been attacked almost certainly successfully.

Just as the note was elaborated excessively, so too was the crime.
Why try to kill John Ramsey when you can elaborately make him suffer for years? And why try to kill him when you are slightly built and might lose the fight? Much more sensible to do it in a very elaborate manner. Attack the six year old. Besides, maybe he did enjoy the "other activities" too.
