Real kidnapers rarely leave a long rambling ransom letter, and they normally do not compose ransom notes at the location of the kidnapping knowing they could be discovered at anytime by someone in the house.
And if they botch a kidnapping by murdering the person to be kidnapped, they would probably not leave the note behind.
If you look at the note, it indicates a self-proclaimed "small foreign faction" claimed responsibility, and that they were supposedly were conducting the kidnaping because they didn't like the U.S. government. How common do you think that is, especially in a place like Colorado?
The ransom note seems as if it was clearly intended to misdirect investigators, by pointing in several different directions, which I think is why the $118,000 ransom amount is demanded. As I understand it, the bonus had just been paid a few days before, and the amount was not common knowledge even within John Ramsey's company.
It certainly would cause one to think it might be a disgruntled employee, although an employee with that inside info knows that asking for such an amount in their ransom note would certainly point towards an employee being the kidnaper, something they most likely would not want to be known.
If on the other hand the Ramsey's wanted to feed misinformation pointing away from themselves, hinting that it might be an ex-employee seems plausible enough.
