On December 26, 1996 Patsy Ramsey made a phone call to 911 and frantically told dispatch that she found a ransom note on the main staircase of her home and that her daughter was taken. Experts from the CBS special reviewing the ransom note determined whoever wrote it was desparately trying to “sell” it too much and used too many words instead of getting right to the point as most ransom notes do.

Linguistic experts also matched most of the handwriting to Patsy and said that parts of the note used maternal language, also pointing to Patsy. While reviewing the ransom note, CBS showed experts also looking at the autopsy report.

The JonBenet Case Several analyses have been conducted when it comes to the JonBenet case, in which it is assumed that the parents of JonBenet murder the six-year-old beauty queen. Due to the investigation that was conducted the case is still unresolved.
