Handwriting of JonBenet Ramsey ransom note examined on 'Dr. Phil'

HOUSTON – Tuesday was Part 2 of Dr. Phil's interview with Burk Ramsey, the brother of murder victim JonBenet Ramsey.

Part of the show focused on the infamous ransom note and who wrote it.

It's the ransom note that's been analyzed millions of times over the past 20 years. An arrest has never been made in the murder case.

Handwriting analyst Alice Weiser analyzed the note. She was a contributor to Court TV 20 years ago.

She did a comparison to the writing of Patsy Ramsey, JonBenet's mother, prior to the murder.

"I, of course, cannot say if she -- by looking at this -- absotutley did it. But we found 55 commonalities between her writing and the ransom note," Weiser said. The 'd' in the handwriting prior to this matches the 'd' perfectly in the ransom note -- the way it curves and goes around. The 's' is exactly the same."

She said the 'm' is also the same.

"There are a lot of commonilaties between the ransom note and Patsy Ramsey's handwriting," she said. "I would have to look at this note and say that I'm quite positive Patsy Ramsey wrote the note."

Alice also said there were 12 commonalities between the handwriting of Patsy's husband, John, and the note, as well.
