I came across some old newspaper clippings about the Clark Toshiro "Tosho" Handa case and noticed something curious about the ransom note. Given that the kidnappers never showed up, it seems bizarre to me that they would go through the trouble of leaving a note and then never make contact again. Was it just a ploy to throw the investigation off the scent? Or maybe an indication of how erratic their state of mind was? The whole setup feels half-baked, especially since it didn't lead to any kind of negotiation or follow-up. It makes me wonder if their real intention was something different from the start. What do you guys think?
Has anyone else been curious about the note left on Clark’s bed? I just keep thinking about the fact that Fejarang and his accomplices went through the trouble of writing that ransom note but never actually planned an exchange. It feels like they were either really reckless and high on drugs or they never truly intended to return him at all. Was it just a cruel ruse? Sometimes, I wonder if it was a diversion tactic from the start. It’s frustrating that despite the note's existence, detectives seemed to hit roadblocks in tracking down Fejarang sooner. Maybe they had no clues or means to connect the dots back then, but do any of you think that something about the note could have given more insight into their mindset or maybe even a clue about the accomplices? The level of planning versus execution in this case is baffling.
