Ransom Note Handwriting Oddity
If it was Patsy writing the ransom note, she obviouly would have altered her writing to conceal her identity, and I have seen several people pointing to the misspelling of words as evidence of this.
One evidence of this I have not seen discussed, however, is the inconsistency in handwriting. Compare the first 3 lines of the first page to the last 3 lines of the first page. Letters in the first 3 lines are very squigilly, and look like a dramatic attempt to forge poor handwriting. The last 3 lines, on the other hand, contain much straighter lines and rounded curves. It takes a lot more time and effort to write outside of what is natural I could see someone trying to do so taking a long time initially, but getting more comfortable and impatient later, thereby reverting to what is natural. I don't know about yall, but I typically find that my own handwriting worsens throughout my writing, so I find this quite odd!
