So a senerio could be: Santa broke into the house through the basement window and hid. Then when everyone was asleep he woke up JB and told her he was here for their special visit. He showed her the Santa Bear so she would not be scared. (His son had said that he had used teddy bears as props before but did not recognize the particular Santa prop) Santa tells JB they will go have a snack just like she leaves him a snack on Christmas. He tells her to be very quiet because it is a secret visit. They go to the kitchen and he points to the pineapple and she has a few bites. Then he tells her that her surprise is in the basement and they should go down their together just like they did last year. They go to the basement and then Santa whacks her on the head. He wants to try and get her in the suitcase but he can't do it and he is too weak to lift her though the window. He decides then to change his plan and assaults and asphyxiates her in the back. (That is his true motive). He then waits to see if anyone comes. The house is still silent so he realizes no one is waking up. He goes to the laundry room to look for something to cover her up. He finds the blanket and covers her up. It was dark so he didn't see the other laundry sticking to it - the Barbie night gown. He goes upstairs and writes the ransom note. He does this because in his mind he wants to "cover" the true motive- that he is a sick peodophile. The reason the note is so long is because he rambles in normal life. He can't help it. He puts the note on the step and leaves through the side door.

Was Santa's handwriting ever compared against the note?

"She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you… will withdraw $118,000… I will call you between 8 and 10 am tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence an earlier pickup of your daughter "

John Ramsey was on the phone with his banker getting the money together that morning. They all sat and waited for the phone to ring and it didn't.
