These pages deal with the death of Jon Benet Ramsey (Boulder Colorado - USA).
Jon Benet Ramsey, a child of 6, was brutally murdered - through strangling and skull fracture - in the night between the 25th and 26th December 1996.
Her mother Patsy reported the child missing with a 911 call to police before 6 a.m. on Dec. 26.
The dead body of Jon Benet was finally discovered in the house basement by her father John Bennet Ramsey at 1 p.m.
A long "ransom note" (3 pages) was found by Patsy on the kitchen steps always in the early morning of Dec. 26.
The absurd length of the letter, the ludicrous money request and a lot of other typically non-kidnapper remarks patently show that the so called "ransom note" was nothing else but a clumsy attempt at deflecting investigations.
 
Since Christmas 1996 many years went by: noone has even been formally indicted yet.
Still the "ransom note" lies there, with its wealth of information for all those caring to seek the truth and for those taking sides in defence of unprotected children.
 
The following pages feature several graphic comparisons between the handwriting of John Bennet Ramsey (left) and the script appearing on the ransom note (right).
The excerpts used in the matching procedure are labelled according to a coded subdivision in P =number of page, L=line and W=word (to visualize the coding, place your mouse on the image). Thus one can quickly trace and locate where each handwriting fragment is coming from.

In addition to the 9 pages of graphic comparisons contained in this website, it is interesting to notice the presence of further matching data: for instance both the ransom note (start of page 1, words bussiness and posession) and John Ramsey's handwriting sample (words insteller and occassions) show what appears to be more than a slip of spelling.

Without getting into the details of content analysis or plunging into a full evaluation of the vocabulary used throughout  the note - a long, complex study already put forward and discussed with the colleagues in the USA - the ransom letter clearly presents several terms reminiscent of a technological and computer idiolect: instructions, account, monitor, execution, denied, scanned, electronic devices, 99% chance...
At the time of Jon Benet death her father John Ramsey was president of a thriving computer distribution company (Access Graphics Inc.)
