The 5-Oct-61 phone call came out of the blue and France alone talked to Hanratty. It was the 6-Oct-61 phone call when France, his wife, daughter and brother-in-law kept Hanratty on the phone for over 45 minutes at the request of the police.
The postcard to France would not have contained the word ‘Hanratty’ and therefore I don’t understood why anyone thinks it tipped off the police to the Ryan/Hanratty connection. If France had wanted to tell the police that Ryan was Hanratty he could have done that at any time. The postcard to him is of no use to the police in making the connection.
