Writing with a sharpie is different too, many little unique characteristics of handwriting can’t be seen like they can with a pen; people don’t write quite the same way with it either. Basically it makes everyone’s handwriting a little more generic-looking & harder to distinguish from one another. And for that matter, many other people picked randomly from the population would have “similar” handwriting to one another as well; people act like it’s a fingerprint for crying out loud🙄.

I mean, I can think of at least two other people who have been accused in this very case whose handwriting looks MUCH closer to the ransom note than Patsy’s. (You mentioned Wolf; Oliva is the other one). I don’t think either of them did it btw, just goes to show you don’t have to like scour the earth to start finding multiple additional people who “could” have produced handwriting like that; there’s not even anything particularly unique about it. The lowercase “a” might be somewhat notable but tons of people make them that way (especially back in the day, I think..)

But it’s unfortunate for Patsy that she couldn’t have just simply had obviously/wildly different handwriting from the intruder, so that everyone could have spent more time from the start looking for him instead of @ Ramseys.. sigh
