Writing Sample, Ransom Note From Same Pad

Associated Press

When police investigating his daughter’s murder asked for a sample of his wife’s handwriting, John Ramsey gave them the same pad that produced a ransom note, the Rocky Mountain News reported Tuesday.

The News quoted unidentified sources as saying the sample of Patsy Ramsey’s handwriting was handed over to police Dec. 26, the day her 6-year-old daughter was found strangled in the basement of her family’s home.

John Ramsey found JonBenet’s body about eight hours after his wife reported finding a ransom note demanding $118,000 for her daughter’s return.
