"Enquirer synopsis by Candy"
 
   The National Enquirer,
November 5, 2002:

Ransom Note Finally Matched To Mom:

JonBenet Ransom Note Bombshell Patsy’s Writing is an Exact Match!

Enquirer World Exclusive: By Don Gentile

Synopsis:

In a blockbuster world exclusive, the Enquirer has obtained never before seen handwriting samples that Patsy Ramsey wrote for police investigating the murder of her daughter, JonBenet.

And handwriting experts say the writings are an exact match to the fake 2 and ˝ page ransom note left at the scene of the crime.

What’s more, the most compelling sample that implicates right handed Patsy …is the one she wrote with her left hand!

“You can actually superimpose words from the ransom note over words that Patsy wrote with her left hand and they’re a near perfect match, top handwriting expert Ted Widmer – who has testified in many court cases and taught handwriting identification to police and district attorneys told The ENQUIRER.

(The conclusion) was echoed by leading handwriting analyst Gideon Epstein…In a recent deposition given under oath, Epstein declared “I am absolutely certain that she (Patsy) wrote the (ransom) note.”

.Patsy and John both gave handwriting samples under the supervision of detectives and state police analysts from the CBI. The couple wrote out a so called "“London Letter”, an investigative tool that forces the writer to use every letter of the alphabet and numerals from 0 to 9…

During one sampling session, Patsy was also told to write a letter off the top of her head. She chose in one paragraph to use the words “two gentlemen”, which are exact words from the ransom note!

As the ENQUIRER revealed in our September 24, 2000 issue, Patsy IS ambidextrous (and then discussion of that from the article and her left handed handwriting sample)

…Widmer agreed wholeheartedly with former Boulder Detective Steve Thomas, a lead investigator in JonBenet’s murder, who revealed that “24 of the alphabet’s 26 letters (found in the ransom note) looked as if they had been written by Patsy.”

(Sidebar short piece)

Patsy Ramsey is capable of writing in completely different styles...and the reason she can change her writing so easily is that she's taken art lessons and paints.

"From my years of analyzing handwriting, I've determined that artists are good at changing their handwriting - and they always make the best forgers."

   NE synopsis said - "And handwriting experts say the writings are an exact match to the fake 2 and ˝ page ransom note left at the scene of the crime."

If it was an exact match, why couldn't the FBI, CBI or Secret Service make that determination? I think that the NE, not unlike Darnay Hoffman, used individuals who were willing to make that determination to get their names in the news. Just spell their names right.
I would remind people that these handwriting experts who will say they can make the attribution - - the "perfect match" are dealing with copies of copies of the ransom note, not the actual note as the FBI. CBI and US Secret Service had.
If the DA - Alex Hunter - could go on national TV and say that on a scale of 1-5 with a 5 being NO WAY, Patsy was a 4.5 - - - how can these people make her a "1". Sorry - - I don't think so.

What’s more, the most compelling sample that implicates right handed Patsy …is the one she wrote with her left hand!

“You can actually superimpose words from the ransom note over words that Patsy wrote with her left hand and they’re a near perfect match, top handwriting expert Ted Widmer – who has testified in many court cases and taught handwriting identification to police and district attorneys told The ENQUIRER."

I will try that when the samples are public. Hope some of the internet artists will be able to do it as well - - make one red and one blue and show how close they are. I will look at them with an open mind.
But they think she wrote three pages with her "other hand"? I couldn't write 3 lines without cramping up. How about you?

During one sampling session, Patsy was also told to write a letter off the top of her head. She chose in one paragraph to use the words “two gentlemen”, which are exact words from the ransom note!

Interesting, but not evidence of guilt. Like the "and hence", after living with the letter for years, why wouldn't the phrases be part of the mindset?.

"From my years of analyzing handwriting, I've determined that artists are good at changing their handwriting - and they always make the best forgers."

Will be interesting to see if the killer was an artist - - Oliva likes to draw. Anyone else?

   Judith Phillips was an artist - - no? Oh, nevermind - - she wasn't in Boulder at the time. And her DNA wouldn't match the male DNA under JBR's nails and in her panties. Guess she can be given a pass.

(I know, cheap shot - - but it's just that. Judith was NEVER a suspect - - no one EVER pointed a finger at her. She started out defending the Ramseys then jumped the fence when she found there were benefits to being BORG. That's how I see it - - and it is my right to say so.)

   Wow! I can't believe they figured this out. They are always on top of all the big stories that the mainstream media misses -- like this and like the time George Bush (Sr.) conferred with space aliens. While a 500 year old child is found still alive in the jungles of Africa where is CNN?

OK, brainiacs, listen up. If you are going to write with the opposite hand that you are used to, are you going to write out 3 freaking pages?

   Not me. My hand would be cramping. I might get out - -

Have girl
2 million ransom
no cops
will call

Beyond that, no way.

Also, you have to think... this is a mother who obviously loved her kids, NO history of anything other than sweet loveand devotion. Let's just say she DID "lose it" and brutally killed her daughter... and that is a wild theory that I do NOT believe true... do you really think she could calmly write out that note? No tears on it but "If you want her to see 1997", "she dies.." "she dies.." "she dies.." "she will be beheaded"

No way she would write that note.

If it HAD happened that she killed her, I would think she would have staged a different scene - more like that found at the Routier house- - like a break in. A frantic crime, not one of deliberation.
