Is Patsy the Author of the Ransom Note?

The word monitor implies a continual surveillance. This is further emphasized when the writer states you and your family are under constant scrutiny. We see the same writing style in the Ramses Christmas message on December 14, 1997. If we see you getting the money earlier, we're going to make earlier arrangements to return your daughter. It's kind of underlining that, yeah, we are watching you and we will know when you go to get the money.
