Just listened to an old Murder Squad episode on this
Apparently the ransom note has similar undertones and phrasing to the Movie Ransom which had been released 6 weeks previously
There is also a Speed reference as well
I also recall the Beirut kidnappings happening at the time with executions and beheading etc
So in some peoples opinion it's cobbled from cultural tropes
