Eduard Versluijs, who runs the Cheri Jo Bates Murder website took this image and found possible imprints and circled them in red. |
I took the same image and changed the contrast and found more possible imprints and circled them in purple. |
Let's zoom in. I drew in green, what could possibly be imprints unknowingly left by the author.
1) There seems to be a number of imprints that resemble english letters. |
2) Those imprints are parallel to the lines on the paper. This gives credibility to these imprints being actual words that were written on another piece of paper that left its imprints. |
