http://www.writinganalysis.com/ramsey.htm#NotewriterI always thought her analysis of the possible perp was pretty good--not the first paragraph where she says the perp may suffer from some type of organic brain syndrome:
The handwriting on the ransom note shows evidence of possible organic
brain syndrome which could be a result of substance abuse (i.e.,
alcohol, cocaine, or marijuana, which have a short-acting effect on the
brain).
The writing at the beginning of the note is substantially different from
that at the end. At the end, the writing is much more natural, and the
wording has a tone of familiarity. The unusual spacial arrangement
(letter and word spacing is highly variable, as is the right margin),
muddy ductus (line of writing), and slack rhythm is often seen in the
handwritings of criminals.
What all this indicates is someone who has poor ego boundaries and whose
reality testing is flawed. There is evidence of acute anxiety at first,
which gradually changes into close to normal functioning at the end of
the letter. We see fear of the future and desperate attempts at
regaining lost control over an altered perception of reality. The letter
writer feels socially inadequate but there is an intense, hidden
aggression that pops out without warning. The aggression has a sadistic
quality and suggests someone who could very likely be involved in
ritualistic sexual acting out.
Patsy Ramsey's handwriting (notes published in tabloids) reveals an
image-conscious person for whom control is of paramount importance. Her
public persona is unwavering stoicism. Looking good and being perfect is
not only crucial to her emotional well-being, it is all there is. She
has a heavy layer of charm and good manners, and would feel humiliated
at showing her feelings in public.
Regarding the question of whether the ransom note could have been
written by Patsy Ramsey, there are certainly some important
similarities, not so much in individual letter forms, but in the more
fundamental elements. However, comparing a printed sample to a cursive
one is comparing apples to oranges. It would be important to examine
Mrs. Ramsey's handprinting in order to form an accurate opinion on
whether or not she authored the ransom note.
If there was strong enough evidence to suggest that the two handwritings
were done by the same person, some type of dissociative disorder could
not be ruled out.
